Photo dump from the Midland Hotel.

I’m really sorry I’ve been so absent on social media. I’m struggling with long covid and trying to balance this with the art business has been really hard.

Next episode will be out as usual and then for the Christmas episode, I have something a bit different, so watch this space…

Oh I’m behind. So many pics to share with you all. This is from The Midland Hotel. Don’t knock Bradford until you’ve been here. How amazing is this?! From the old Bradford Forster Square station, you’d walk straight up this ramp from the train into the hotel. Just an amazing bit of preserved history. Oh, and there the ghost of a famous thespian on the stairs! Listen to episode 5 to hear more!

The podcast is out, the pumpkins are done and I’m back to working on my spooky digital painting. It’s been a hectic one! But a lot of fun.

Why does mine always look like a small child did it? It’s the same with the Xmas trees. That’s supposed to be Maud, btw. But it looks like a demon bat cat. Ah well 🎃

Hope you’re all having wonderful and deliciously scary halloweens! 👻

Guess who’s had the rona for over a week. Worst birthday surprise ever. Hence the radio silence. Apologies spookies. I hope you enjoyed the last episode.

Don’t forget to check out who kindly gifted us some awesome background music. Composed by GW Munday.

Hopefully normal service will resume shortly 😷

In Episode 5 of the Scared Cat Skeptic podcast, we hunt out an elite class of ghosts at The Midland Hotel Bradford. And there’s a dash of Bram Stoker synchronicity again too. Plus there's a new section at the start for spooky stuff that's happened to Scaredy Cat Skeptic. And the listener story this week is terrifying!

Our new equipment now has new equipment. Every day’s a school day.

22/09/2023

Hello spooky witches! I hope you’re all super excited for Halloween!

We’ve been beavering away to get you the latest episode. We’ve had just a couple of teething problems with the new equipment, but just rest assured that we are taking measures to fix the issues going forward. I hope you enjoy the listen anyway. And our cat, Eva, also features this month, so stick with it until the end to hear what she has to say. Fascinating insights from the floof!

You may notice that the podcast comes out a little early for October. That’s because it’s my birthday on the 30th (woohoo) and I’ll be stuck in an escape room, so to make sure you get your spooky listen, we’ll be releasing it a day early.

Anyway, enjoy the run up to spooky season! Happy haunting!

Have you heard of Robert the Haunted Doll?

The haunting of Robert the Doll is a famous paranormal legend that revolves around a supposedly haunted toy. The doll is said to possess an eerie and malevolent energy, causing strange occurrences and misfortunes to those who encounter it. The story has gained considerable attention and has become a popular subject in the realm of paranormal investigations.

So of course I’ve written a blog post about it. You can find out more on the website…

I’ve had four messages about this after yesterday’s post, so I just thought I’d put this here.

The artwork lurking in the photo behind the new mic in my post from yesterday is one of my paintings and it’s called Raven Crossing. I don’t think it’s haunted, but it is all a bit magical. You can check it out

~~NEW BLOG POST~~

Nostradamus was a French prophet who seemingly could see into the future. And the future was bleak. It was said that his prophecies have predicted some of the world’s most significant disasters… as well as more that are yet to come to pass.

He is primarily known for his book “Les Propheties” (The Prophecies), a collection of cryptic verses that have been subject to numerous interpretations and claims of predicting future events.

“The Prophecies” was first published in 1555 and contained a series of poetic quatrains, each consisting of four lines. These verses were written in a highly symbolic and allegorical language. Often using metaphors, anagrams, and wordplay. Nostradamus claimed that his prophecies extended until the year 3797, covering a vast range of historical events and future occurrences.

There were so many photos at Ripon Workhouse that we’d have been there all day if we’d taken shots of all of them…

One of the most spooky things about ripon workhouse was the restraining chair. This would primarily have been for inmates who suffered from fits and seizures. Right in front of this apparatus was where I felt the most jumpy in the whole of Ripon Workhouse and you can hear what we thought of this place on the podcast.

SWIPE FOR A CLOSEUP 👉🏻👉🏻👉🏻

You can hear the episode on any podcatcher of our choice. We’re also on Soundcloud and YouTube, although that will be changing to just YouTube.

Hello spooky bi***es!

Just some housekeeping. The latest episode is out, but we have run out of space on SoundCloud so we’re aware that the link at the top of the shownotes takes you to the episode for The Cardigan Arms. You can access the latest episode from the links underneath, which take you to Apple, Spotify and Stitcher. I’ve been sourcing alternative ways to showcase the podcast and settled on YouTube so there is a video currently pending, which will be uploaded later today.

Please do subscribe to the YouTube channel. The link is on the website - social icons are located in the very top and very bottom menus, as well as on the contact us page. YouTube is less terrifying than TikTok, so more content is on the way soon.

Thank you to everyone who has rated and reviewed us ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Hen do revellers flee Scottish beauty spot after spotting ghost in group photograph

The women were celebrating a mate’s upcoming wedding on a remote estate in Argyll and Bute. But were left horrified after snapping a burst of pictures.

On going back over the photos, they started freaking then they noticed what appeared to be a small boy crouching behind a wooden stump. The women turned heel and ran after doing some research and discovering a story about a child who slept-walked into the lake and drowned.

It appears the story may be that of the The Blue Boy, which was the subject of a television film broadcast on the BBC in 1994, about a four-year-old who drowned in Loch Eck.

The blue boy is the ghost young child who had been on holiday with his parents in the hotel. He had been sleepwalking during the night and had strayed outside, fallen into the loch, and drowned. When they found his body it was blue with the cold.

After this, hotel staff had noticed that things like cutlery and plates were often out of place for no apparent reason - perhaps more sinister than that was the fact that they sometimes found wet footprints upstairs in the corridor.

Bad enough when a living partner becomes possessive… but when a ghost tries to possess you, it’s another thing entirely.

Original spooky bitch, Brocarde, has divorced her “devilishly handsome” ghost husband, an ex Victorian soldier, less than a year after marrying him.

Brocarde, a songwriter and performer from Oxfordshire, has said the spirit became increasingly possessive after their wedding, flipping between being warm and intense, and threatening.

She first met the ghost of Edwardo when he "burst" into her bedroom "one dark and stormy night".

Brocarde said that long-haired spirit immediately announced his love for her and later began confiding in her. Their spirited love affair hit the headlines when Brocarde announced they were to marry in a chapel on Halloween in 2022.

You can read the full article on Sky News and you can see the wedding ceremony on Brocarde’s Instagram. You can also hear her music on Spotify.

30 East Drive in Pontefract is said to house the UK’s most violent poltergeist. The Black Monk has been spotted in many different guises along with several other ghosts, including the spirit of a little girl and a ghost dog. There have been many photographs of strange things taken at 30East Drive and the story was made into a film. If you haven’t seen When the Lights Went Out, I recommend. It’s a vast improvement on the chuffing Conjuring series (can’t roll my eyes hard enough).

Hey guys. Just wanted to give you a taster of one of the spooky things that led me to create this podcast. The video is quite long, so I’ll be reposting in bite-sized chunks too. Apologies about the sniffling - I have a wicked cold. 👻 Basically, if you stick it out long enough, I put a photograph up that I took that has a strange thing in the background and it scared the sh*t out of me, because I couldn’t find any explanation for it. 👻 Tell us your opinions below 👇🏻 👻 👻 👻 #SCS #ScaredyCatSkeptic #GhostInTheMirror #Ghost #SpookyPhotography #SpookyPhoto #GhostHunters #GhostHunting #Sceptic #Skeptic #Sceptical #Skeptical #Scary
