  • This Will RUIN Night Drives | Real Ghost Stories
    May 13 2026

    Each of these six ghost stories comes from a real person, with firsthand accounts of experiences that witnesses still can’t fully explain.

    From a late-night drive that stopped two witnesses in their tracks, to dark figures lingering at the roadside, and one story that feels less like a haunting and more like reality slipping out of place…

    To my knowledge, these are not creepypasta or fictional horror stories. Every story in this video comes directly from a real person’s own claimed experience. Make of them what you will.

  • Episode 135: Gloucester Prison
    May 5 2026

    Gloucester Prison is one of the most unsettling haunted locations in the UK, built on centuries of punishment, suffering, and death.

    Before it became the prison we know today, this site was part of Gloucester Castle, where prisoners were held in grim conditions for hundreds of years.

    After closing its doors for good in 2013, Gloucester Prison has quickly developed a reputation for being haunted. Shadow figures flit in the corner of your eyes, and doors slam with no explanation. But there’s one particular ghost story that may need a closer look…

    Due to the nature of this episode, there are VERY brief descriptions of horrendous crimes like infanticide, as well as executions and suicide. Please look after your mental health first and foremost

    IN THIS EPISODE

    Gloucester Prison’s history as a castle gaol, the Georgian prison reforms, public executions, condemned cells, prisoners buried on site, the ghost of Jenny, Cell 25, shadow figures, the haunted hallway, and reports of paranormal activity inside the prison.
