EP 020: Ghostly Encounters & Paranormal Puzzles - The Archive Remastered


šŸ‘» Welcome back to the vault, spectral enthusiasts! As we dust off the archives, join me, your tech-challenged host, as I fumble with my recorderā€”some things never change. This week's remastered episode takes us through corridors of mystery and rooms rattled with the echoes of the past.


šŸŽ­ In the spotlight, we have Alex Winter sharing a spine-tingling tale from the theatre's wings. His mother, a night-shift nurse and staunch skeptic, encountered a phantom golden retriever at the hospitalā€”a touching nod, perhaps, to her own departed pets. We're peeling back the veil to uncover the truth.


šŸ” Rewind to 1993: the year I first came face-to-face with a ghost. Imagine Stockport, a ramshackle house, and a fast-food worker with a fascination for the afterlifeā€”that's me. The apparition? A trouserless specter in my girlfriend's bedroom. Brace yourselves as I revisit this spectral intrusion.


šŸ”® Mike Cox steps out of the dressing room and into the paranormal fray, recounting his eerie Ouija board encounter at 12. Meet ALF, the spirit with a story, and hear the chilling aftermath of that fateful call to the beyond.


šŸ› But that's not all. Mike's anecdote of a friend, tormented by a cottage's sinister spirit, and the dark history of a drowned child, sends shivers down our spines. And let's not forget the police officer's pursuit that ended in a wall. These tales might just make you rethink your next bath or late-night stroll.


As we conclude this haunting journey, Mike's earned a solid 6/10 on our ghostly leaderboard. Think you've got a story to top that? Reach out and share your paranormal encounters.

Until next time, keep your recorders handy and your eyes peeledā€”there's always more to the story.


Spiritually yours

    A Journey Through the Best Bits - Compilation 1šŸ”® Greetings, spectral seekers and aficionados of the absurd! Clinton Baptiste here, taking you on a detour from the depths of the archives to the glittering highlights of our past episodes. This week, we're not just peeking behind the veil; we're revisiting the moments that made us laugh, gasp, and maybe even shed a tear of bewilderment.A Bit of Barry, A Touch of Romance, and a Dash of the ParanormalFirst up, we dive into the heartwarming (and sightly misguided) attempt to fan the flames of romance between Barry from Watford and his beloved Margaret. Picture this: Barry, with his vision not what it used to be, and me, trying to navigate the delicate topics of a form designed to spark a bit of passion. It's a scene you won't want to miss.Then, thereā€™s Ruth from Erskine Court, whoā€™s got her heart set on rejuvenating her late father's cherished rubber plant on the 'Repair shop'. Despite my reservations about its TV potential (or lack thereof), it's the thoughtā€”and the memoriesā€”that count.Our journey back into the land of love takes a comedic twist as we circle back to Barry and Margaret. This time, the questions are for Margaret, but letā€™s just say, modesty prevails, leading us to a conversation through a bathroom door. It's as bizarre as it sounds.And, of course, what's a look-back without a live detour to the 100 Club? Your spooky stories, shared in the flesh, remind us all why we love the mysterious and the unexplained.What's Next?As we wrap up this week's foray into the best bits of seasons gone by, remember, these gems are just the beginning. Stay tuned for more edits, more laughs, and more bewildering moments that keep us all coming back for more.Until next time, keep your minds open and your spirits high. The world is full of wonders, waiting just around the corner.Spiritually and humorously yours, Clint.xCredits:Barry from WatfordKathrine Boyle - Linda PollackSally Ann-Hayward - Ruthā€¢ Podcast produced by Laurie Peters from Peters-Fox.ā€¢ Outro music by GLOWE.Share your own spooky stories at clinton@clintonbaptiste.comFind more Clinton Baptiste merchandise at https://ko-fi.com/clintonbaptiste/shopwww.clintonbaptiste.com

    šŸ”Š In this final echo from our treasured archives, we tread softly through the halls of memory to Line 1 with Nick from Leighton Buzzard. Amid the tranquility of a church prayer, an unseen presence delivers a chilling touch. Was it a spectral summon or a figment of holy imagination? I step into the shoes of the skeptic to unravel this spiritual enigma.šŸ• Then, Anthony from Blackburn dials Line 3 with a tail-wagging terror. His auntie's dogs dash and dart as if chasing invisible intruders. Canine instincts or ghostly guests? Letā€™s sniff out the truth behind these paranormal pup antics.šŸŒ³ Racheal from Bristol brings salvation to Line 2 with a floating mystery from '98. A levitating plank of wood in a home mid-renovation defies gravityā€”and belief. A spectral illusion, or was it simply the spirit of DIY gone astray?šŸ”¬ Over on Line 2, Phil from Warrington shares a tale tinged with terror and... sewage samples. A pinch and a phantom in an old hospital lab lead to an X-rated revelation of a frazzle-fancying former employee. Itā€™s a story that gives new meaning to ā€˜things that go bump in the night.ā€™šŸ‘¤ Finally, David from Essex's uncanny experience on Line 2 casts a reflection on the strange. A caravan holiday, a late-night loo trip, and a mirror with a mind of its ownā€”or was it? Reflections may deceive, but the second glance reveals a startling spectacle.As we close the creaky door on our archive series, I hope youā€™ve enjoyed these remastered relics as much as I have. More tales lurk in the vault, but alas, a spectral spider infestation and the gremlins of time have spun webs and warps too wicked to salvage the rest. Fear not, for our journey through the unknown continues with new ethereal episodes on the horizon.Until next time, keep listening... for the whispers of the past may yet find a way to reach us in the shadows of tomorrow.Spiritually yoursClint.xCredits:Paranormal Narratives: Racheal, Nick, Anthony, Phil and David.Mystical Insights: Yours truly, Clinton, and the unseen guides.Podcast produced by Laurie from Peters-Fox.Ā Share your own spectral sightings at clinton@clintonbaptiste.comĀ Discover more Clinton Baptiste curiosities at https://ko-fi.com/clintonbaptiste/shopCatch my next apparition at www.clintonbaptiste.com.

    Hello, dear listeners! In today's episode, we're peeling back the veil between the now and the hereafter, exploring hauntings of the heart and the hilarious. Are these apparitions real, or just figments of longing? Let's find out together.šŸ“ŗ Leighton's Living Room ApparitionLeighton from Walsall brings us a tale that teeters on the edge of romance and the supernatural.

We're on the case to uncover the truth behind the phantom presence.šŸ’” Ruth: A Love Across TimeNext, I share a personal encounter from the '90s that still sends shivers down my spine. A vision of beauty named Ruth, with her 1940s allure, materialises from a time of war into my living room. Was it a slip through time or a ghostly visitation fuelled by love? Join me under the moonlight as we unravel this amorous anomaly.šŸ‘¬ Mark's Quest for LoveIn Manchester, Mark seeks the cards' wisdom for a chance at lasting love. As we lay out his path to partnership, we'll explore the cosmic connections that could lead Mark to his soulmate. Can the spirits guide him to the one, or is love closer than he thinks?šŸš“ Molly's Canal ConundrumAnd then, there's Molly from Blackburn, haunted by a figure draped in sheets along the canal. Is it a phantom with a stick, or just high jinks on the towpath? We might cut this mystery short, but not the laughs it brings.As the curtain falls on EP 19, remember that the line between the other side and ours is as thin as a ghost's whisper.Spiritually yours, Clinton.xCredits:Paranormal Narratives: Leighton, Mark, Molly, and the enigmatic Ruth.Mystical Insights: Yours truly, Clinton, and the unseen guides.Podcast produced by Laurie from Peters-Fox.

    šŸ”®Archive Ep#16 Whispers in the Night and Other Spooky AffairsWelcome back to our realm of the unexplained and occasionally absurd, dear listeners! This week, we're tiptoeing through a collection of tales that straddle the line between the otherworldly and the awkwardly human. So, grab your favourite spectral snack, and let's dive into the abyss of mystery and misadventure.šŸŒŒ First Stop: A Haunting in LeedsImagine a night as quiet as a crypt in an old hotel near Leeds. Wendy, our first storyteller, shares a bone-chilling encounter that's sure to leave you questioning the divide between our world and the next. Tucked in bed early and stone-cold sober, Wendy's peaceful sleep was interrupted by an unseen presence at 3 AM. Covers pulled away, and the sensation of someone... or something pressing down on her. Was it a spectral visitor or the overly familiar barman with a penchant for key jingling? Listen in as we unravel this eerie enigma.šŸ’˜ A Twist of Fate and FlatulenceNext, we're whisked away on a whimsical journey with Kenny and Juliette, the star-crossed lovers from opposite sides of the track. Kenny, dreaming of the high life yet grounded by his modest means, plans the perfect evening to win Juliette's heart. But as the night unfolds, a comedic twist awaits our lovebirds. A tale of romance, aspiration, and an ill-timed... ahem, gust, reminding us that love isn't just in the air but sometimes, a little lower to the ground.šŸ‘» Herbert the Pervert: A Ghostly GroperRacheal, a friend of the show, revisits us with updates on Herbert, the less-than-gentlemanly Spector with a cold touch and an even colder sense of boundaries. From icy caresses in the garden to a startling awakening accompanied by the scent of cow manure, Racheal's experiences blur the line between the paranormal and the downright invasive. Armed with Latin advice and a plea to our spiritual advisor, Taruak, we seek to give Herbert his ethereal marching orders.šŸ”‘ Psychic Sally and the Mystery of the KeysOur final caller, Sarah from Salisbury, recounts her visit to psychic Sally Morgan. In a moment of spiritual connection, Sally channels a spirit named John, revealing a secret set of keys hidden behind a fridge freezer. But these keys unlock more than just doors; they open the door to marital secrets and spectral interventions. Join us as we explore the implications of John's message and the power of psychic insight.As we close this chapter of our paranormal podcast, remember, the world is full of mysteries waiting in the shadows. Whether you're encountering ghostly gropers or romantic misfires, we're here to navigate the twilight together.Spiritually yours,Clinton.xCredits:Tales from the Cryptic Heart: Wendy, Kenny, Racheal, and SarahEthereal Advice and Laughter: Taruak and our team of ghostly advisorsPodcast remastered/censored by Laurie from Peters-Fox.Share your own spooky stories at clinton@clintonbaptiste.comFind more Clinton Baptiste merchandise at https://ko-fi.com/clintonbaptiste/shopTOUR DATES: www.clintonbaptiste.com.
