This week on Eavesdroppin’ comedy podcast, Geordie & Michelle celebrate Halloween by looking at hauntings and horror…

Imagine sitting on the loo only to have the door fly open by a dwarf monk holding a severed forearm. Could only happen at Hobstones, a haunted farm in Yorkshire, England, where spooky goings on happen on the reg. Geordie also looks at the gruesome history surrounding the witches of Pendle and the grisly end for those caught up in the witch hunt!

Michelle follows with a look at a classic tale of horror from the King of Horror himself, Stephen King. When Pet Sematary was published in the early 1980s, author Stephen King said it was the scariest book he’d ever written – and this is coming from the author of It and The Shining! So what is it that makes Pet Sematary so scary? What’s the back story? Why is it misspelled? And why did it almost never see the light of day? Listen now!

So pop on your headphones, grab a brown lemonade and join Geordie & Michelle for this week’s episode, plus chat about halloween costumes, an Agony Aunt question, lolly bras and more, only on Eavesdroppin’ comedy podcast. And remember, wherever you are, whatever you do, just keep Eavesdroppin’!

On Eavesdroppin’ comedy podcast this week, Geordie and Michelle delve into the supernatural with two stories of historic hauntings!

In the mid 1600s, there was a tyrannical Scottish lawyer called Sir George ‘Bloody’ Mackenzie who had the charming nickname of The Edinburgh Executioner. After his death in 1691, his remains were buried in a mausoleum in Greyfriars kirkyard in Edinburgh, where they remained undisturbed until 1998… When a homeless man broke into George’s tomb, he discovered the gruesome decomposing remains of plague victims that had been somehow vac-packed by the tomb. Freaked out, the homeless man fled – but he’d disturbed George’s resting place and a series of terrifying events in the graveyard followed. Listen now to hear Geordie dive into the case!

Michelle follows with the story of Eleanore Zugan, who presents as one of the most authentic poltergeist cases of the last century. In 1925 in rural Romania, 11 year old Eleanore found a coin on the ground, picked it up, against her friend’s wishes, and spent the money on sweets, which she ate herself without sharing. Her grandmother told her she was a wicked child and that she’d swallowed the devil. But did she? Because after this incident, strange things began happening to Eleanore – like, poltergeist strange things. Objects would appear out of thin air. Items would mysteriously fly around the room. Scratches and bite marks would appear on Eleanore’s body and strange things would happen whenever she was around. Was she haunted? Or was it something else? Listen now and decide for yourself!

So pop on your headphones, grab a brown lemonade and join Geordie & Michelle for this week’s episode, plus chit-chat about Pinball Geoff, fake documentaries, telly recs and more, only on Eavesdroppin’ podcast. And remember, wherever you are, whatever you do, just keep Eavesdroppin’!

On Eavesdroppin’ comedy podcast this week, Geordie & Michelle look at supernatural stuff – the Snedecker haunting and the mass UFO sighting at Broad Haven…

Would you move into a house that used to be a funeral parlour? In 1986, the Snedeker family were excited to move into their new home in Southington, Connecticut. Except the real estate agent hadn’t told them that the house was full of funeral-home paraphernalia and GHOSTS and two years later, paranormal activity forced the family to flee their home. What happened to the family? Was it real? And why are there Hollywood films about it all? Geordie investigates – listen now to find out!

Michelle then goes back in time to the 70s to a mass UFO sighting by a bunch of school kids in Broad Haven in Pembrokeshire… OnFebruary 4 1977, a bunch of kids were playing footy during their lunchbreak when they saw a cigar-shaped object obscured by trees in the woods. What’s more, they also saw a spaceman in a silver suit standing right next to it! Did they see a UFO? Was it sewerage tank? Or a harrier jet? Or just a giant hoax? Listen now to make up your own mind!

So pop on your headphones, grab a brown lemonade and join Geordie & Michelle for this week’s episode, plus chit-chat about Avicii, Celine Dion and more, only on Eavesdroppin’ podcast. And remember, wherever you are, whatever you do, just keep Eavesdroppin’!

Hello Eavesdroppers! It’s not a weather report… It’s your fave podcast for all things real life, true crime and supernatural. This week, we’re looking at ghostly tales but not before your hosts Geordie & Michelle ramble about hot postie, Canberra Kids Running Wild by Davor P and a confession about Ben Mendlesohn!

Michelle kicks off with an article she found about an 88 year old French man with something rather unsavoury stuck up his bottom before a shart art to Neil the Scientist and a discussion about a man whose brain activity before, during and after he died. What does this tell us about near death experiences? You’ll have to listen to find out!

Geordie discusses the ghosty apparitions of Tilba Tilba before launching into a deep dive into Australia’s most haunted homestead: Monte Cristo in Junee, and telling Michelle how to kill a chicken. Michelle rounds off the episode with two doggy ghost stories: one where a ghost is supposedly caught on camera walking a family’s dog through their kitchen and another tale of a ghost who took off a dog’s collar! Real? Hoax? You decide!

We hope you enjoy this week’s episode and remember, wherever you are, whatever you do, just keep Eavesdroppin’!

Poltergeists: We love a scary story and it doesn’t get much scarier than these three crazy ghost stories, all set in London, all about to scare the tits off ya!

So, we start off with the weird tale of Alma Fielding and the Thornton Heath Poltergeist… it’s from 1930 and we dug up the front page of the newspaper from the time that covered the story and it was a crazy tale even back then! Kudos to journo Kate Summescale for great investigative work!! 

The Thornton Heath Poltergeist

It starts off with a bored housewife who contacted her local police station to tell them that weird things were happening at her home. They told her to all back after the pubs had shut because they thought she was off her nut… So she called back and eventually they took her seriously and came round. They were stumped – what the actual F was going on??? It was too weird for them and they told her they couldn’t do anything… so they went to the papers and that’s when Alma’s story hit the headlines. This story is super interesting to us because there are several layers here… First of all, according to reports the 1930s was a time when the world was still reeling from the loss of loved ones from WW1 and also the flu pandemic from just after the war broke out. These things apparently led to a rise in the supernatural and people wanting to make contact with loved ones they’d lost and Alma’s story struck a chord at just the right time. Then there was speculation as to the source of Alma’s spooky happenings – was Alma’s house really haunted or was she simply projecting repressed memories… Listen to the episode to hear more about it!

The Enfield Haunting

We then look at the super famous case of The Enfield Haunting… Specifically, the BBC show The Reunion and how the people who were involved in the case during the 1970s – and who were still alive – came together to talk about one of the most bizarre chapters of their lives! We hear all about the two Peggys, 11 year old Janet Hodgson and a foul mouthed entity called Bill Wilkins who seems to be in love with Janet and how he haunted their lives for 18 months…

The Battersea Poltergeist

So… another super famous case where Donald the poltergeist haunted Shirley Hitchings and her family for  more than 12 YEARS!!!! Tapping, hammer toes, flying objects and media skepticism all kept the case alive for more than a decade, but at the end of it all, who really knows whether Donald was real or not. I’d like to thing he was real. I’d love to think ALL poltergeists are real. And I’d especially like to think that one day I’ll meet a friendly one who makes me laugh and tells me the lottery numbers.

We hope you like the ep! Please like, share, subscribe, tell your friends, spread the word and all that – and keep Eavesdroppin’!
