  • Ep 136 - The Convent of Mercy with Rob Davies Part 1

    Ep 136 - The Convent of Mercy with Rob Davies Part 1
    May 15 2026
    For episode 136, we’re heading to County Cork, where a foreboding building still stands—steeped in sorrow, secrecy, and whispered tales of the supernatural. A place shaped by faith, rigid discipline, and deep suffering. For generations, young girls passed through its doors. Many were mistreated, abused, and subjected to lives of fear and control—experiences so harrowing they’re difficult to fully comprehend. The walls of this convent witnessed pain, silence, and trauma… and some believe those experiences never truly left. And I won’t be venturing there alone. Joining me is Rob Davies from the Dead Air YouTube channel—a seasoned paranormal investigator whose work has taken him across the globe to some of the most unsettling locations imaginable. Together, we’ll explore one of the sites he’s investigated for his channel. We’ll delve into the dark and troubling history of the Convent of Mercy, examine the paranormal encounters reported within its walls, and hear Rob’s own experiences investigating this deeply unsettling place. So join us, as we begin this journey and ask the question, just how haunted is the Convent of Mercy?

  • May Patreon Teaser - Lumley Castle Hotel Part 2

    May Patreon Teaser - Lumley Castle Hotel Part 2
    May 8 2026
    In the 46th Patreon bonus podcast, you join me once again in a 14th-century castle in County Durham. It’s January 2026, and John, Tom, Rich, and I have had a night to remember so far—but there’s so much more to come in the second half of our investigation on this cold winter’s night. What would happen when we spend time in two of the castle’s turrets, areas completely off limits to everyone other than us ghost hunters? What would I experience when I’m placed in a former student bedroom alone? And is there a rational explanation for one of the most incredible things that I’ve witnessed on a paranormal investigation? So join me as we ask again, just how haunted is Lumley Castle Hotel?

I’m fairly recent to Audible podcasts thinking it was just for books. So was pleasantly surprised to find a number of great pod’s on Audible.
How Haunted has got everything & more. It has a mixture of recorded live ghost hunts with an in-depth look at the history of each location which is really interesting . Some of the episodes include other guest podcasters discussing equally unusual events. My personal favourites are the chilling stories from all around the country with the background history, some of these I found quite disturbing 😳.
Rob’s obvious interest of the supernatural is clear but he also maintains a balanced view and doesn’t come across as if every little bump in the night is concrete evidence of a ghostly visitation. Brilliant listens thank you! 👻

An excellent podcast covering everything paranormal from across the country.

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
