Beyond The Veil Podcast | Episode 9: The Backrooms & Liminal Spaces

What if the most terrifying places in the world… are the most ordinary? In this episode of Beyond The Veil, Brett & Lee descend into one of the internet’s most disturbing modern urban legends: The Backrooms. Together, we explore the origins of the phenomenon, from its unsettling beginnings online to the millions of people now haunted by the idea of endless yellow corridors, flickering fluorescent lights and the terrifying possibility of becoming trapped somewhere outside reality itself. But this episode goes far deeper than internet horror. We investigate the psychological phenomenon of liminal spaces — those strange transitional places that feel familiar yet deeply unsettling — and examine why empty schools, abandoned shopping centres, silent office corridors and late-night hotel hallways evoke such profound fear and unease within us. Could these feelings simply be psychological responses to isolation, nostalgia and uncertainty? Or could liminal spaces explain why so many paranormal experiences occur in places that feel strangely “in-between”? From urban legends and internet folklore to real-world cases of disorientation, strange disappearances and unsettling experiences in seemingly ordinary places, this episode explores the blurred line between psychology, fear and the paranormal. Because perhaps the scariest part of The Backrooms isn’t the monsters people claim exist there… but the possibility that somewhere, hidden within the ordinary world around us… there are places we were never meant to find.

Beyond The Veil Podcast | Episode 8: It Was Standing Behind Her

Some moments are over in seconds…But stay with you forever. In this episode of Beyond The Veil, Brett and Lee explore two chilling listener experiences — both rooted in ordinary situations… that took an unexpected and deeply unsettling turn. A routine shift. A familiar journey home. Nothing out of the ordinary… until something changes. Moments that are impossible to explain… yet equally impossible to forget. So the question is… Were they alone? Or did something step closer… just long enough to be noticed?

Beyond The Veil Podcast | Episode 7: The Voices You Weren't Meant To Hear

In this chilling episode of Beyond The Veil, Brett and Lee explore one of the most unsettling and debated areas of the paranormal — Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP). Voices captured on recordings… Words that were never heard in the moment… Messages that only reveal themselves on playback. Brett and Lee share two deeply unnerving listener stories, where ordinary moments turned into something far more disturbing — recordings that seem to contain voices with no clear source, raising questions that are difficult to answer… and even harder to ignore. Alongside these encounters, we dive into the theory behind EVP — from scientific explanations such as auditory pareidolia and signal interference, to the belief that these voices could be attempts at communication from something beyond our understanding. Are these sounds simply tricks of the mind…Or are we capturing something that shouldn’t be possible? Put your headphones on. Listen closely. And decide for yourself. Because once you hear it… You can’t unhear it.

Beyond The Veil Podcast | Episode 6: The Man in the Window: Rachel’s Lifelong Haunting

This is a pattern. This is phenomena that span decades and refuse to be easily dismissed. Are some people more sensitive to the unseen?Can certain places hold on to energy?Or once you’ve had one experience… does something follow?

Beyond The Veil Podcast | Episode 5: Two Ordinary Places, Two Terrifying Encounters...

Two ordinary places. Two unsettling encounters.And a lingering sense that something unseen was listening. In this episode of Beyond The Veil, we share two chilling listener-submitted stories that refuse to be easily explained. Paul recounts an experience that began quietly, almost unremarkably — before escalating into something that left him questioning what he had encountered long after it ended. We then head to Hull’s Hepworth Arcade and the now-closed Coffee Cup Café, a location already steeped in whispers of paranormal activity. Listener David takes us inside the café after hours, where strange sounds, unexplained movements, and a single moment of defiance provoke a response that was impossible to ignore. From missing objects and frightened customers, to a presence that seemed very aware it wasn’t alone, this is a story that suggests some places do not appreciate being challenged. These are not legends passed down through generations.They are recent. Personal. And deeply unsettling. As always, listener discretion is advised. Once you step beyond the veil… you may start to notice what’s been there all along.
