  • Halloween 2024 - Vampire Month: The Vampiric Castles of Transylvania
    Oct 25 2024

    The culmination of Vampire Month sees us head into the heart of Transylvania, and we will delve deep into the life and death of Vlad III Dracula, a man who undoubtedly influenced Bram Stoker’s decision to place his Dracula here. We will then go in search of ghosts in three gothic castles with ties to not only Vlad, but Dracula himself.

    This Halloween night join me in asking just how haunted are the vampiric castles of Transylvania?

  • Ep 91 - Vampire Month: Dracula in Whitby
    Oct 18 2024

    We continue Vampire Month by going in search of Dracula in an English seaside town which has fully embraced its status as the gothic capital of the UK. As we get ever closer to Halloween we will explore in depth why this place is so intrinsically linked to vampires, I will guide you on a tour of the locations with ties to Dracula, and we will look for ghosts and ghouls in some of the town’s oldest, and most iconic, structures.

    So lets’ ask together, can Dracula be found in Whitby?

Absolutely Brilliant

Absolutely love Rob's podcast. he's an extremely knowledgeable man who puts his historical expertise into every story he tells and I'm not sure what part I like better..... the history or the ghosts!

Overall, one of the top podcasts I listen to and would recommend to anybody with an interest in history, ghosts or both!

Excellent storytelling

Rob weaves together a narrative of both the history and paranormal expertly. Episodes are well researched and bring to life the stories of locations without over-the-top dramatics. Highly recommended
