  • NHS Gothic by John Wharton | A collection of hospital hauntings

    NHS Gothic by John Wharton | A collection of hospital hauntings
    Apr 22 2026
    A hospital at night. Empty corridors. The sense of something that shouldn't be there.

    “It was 02:17. That hour again — the one that stretched too long, when the lights hummed and even the air seemed to wait... she felt wrong. Off balance. Watched. The panel glowed red: ROOM SIX. The door was ajar. She was certain she’d closed it... A shape stood inside, pale against the dim light... She pushed the door open. Empty.”


    In this special collection, a series of interconnected tales unfold within the sterile, familiar world of the medical field, where routine meets the unexplained, and the night shift reveals what daylight keeps hidden. Doors open when they shouldn’t, rooms aren’t as empty as they appear, and something always seems to be watching. NHS Gothic is a collection of paranormal horror stories exploring unease, isolation, and the quiet terror of places built to preserve life…

    If you enjoy this episode, continue your listening with:
    Blackdamp (a tense and claustrophobic tale where unseen forces prove deadly)
    It Shows Up When It’s Needed (a haunting story where presence emerges at moments of vulnerability)
    The Thing in the Wall (a nightmare that crosses into reality, where something shouldn’t exist)

    About the Author
    John Wharton writes atmospheric horror grounded in familiar, real-world environments — bringing the supernatural into places we trust. NHS Gothic blends everyday routine with creeping unease, where the ordinary becomes something far more disturbing.

  • Flash Fiction - Tales of Unease (excerpts) by Elizabeth Wilson | Short, eerie, twisted tales

    Flash Fiction - Tales of Unease (excerpts) by Elizabeth Wilson | Short, eerie, twisted tales
    Apr 17 2026
    A collection of 3 strange micro-tales...

    “A just perceptible sigh came from the thing in his hand, and a dark, rich brown powder appeared. Like smoke, it drifted into the air just past his face and blew towards the fence before vanishing…”


    In this Flash Fiction Friday episode, we present three short, unsettling tales, each offering a glimpse into something strange, fleeting, and quietly disturbing. Not every horror needs time to unfold, sometimes, a single moment is enough. These bite-sized stories explore the uncanny, the surreal, and the uneasy feeling that something is just slightly… wrong.

    If you enjoy this episode, continue your listening with:
    Spores (a deeply unsettling story where something unfamiliar begins to take hold)
    Folded In (a strange and disorienting tale where reality begins to shift)
    The Thing in the Wall (a creeping horror where an entity crosses from imagination into the real world)
