Flash Fiction - The Last Ghost Hunters by Liah Thorley | The hunters being hunted

Not all ghost hunts are what they seem... “My companions listen to our guide as she fills us with tantalising fear. Stories of murder and suicide, bodies dismembered or swinging from ropes drip from her scarlet lips with gregarious enthusiasm. She is captivating and vivacious in a dirty kind of way. She flicks her dusty blond hair over her shoulder, and her blue eyes dart a glance towards me. For a split second, she hesitates. Her lips curl slightly and then part as she begins her next story.…”  What begins as an evening of entertainment, tales of hauntings, murder, and restless spirits, slowly takes on a different tone as something beneath the performance begins to surface. Some stories are told for effect, others serve a very different purpose. This original paranormal horror story explores perception, performance, and the unsettling feeling that you may not be the one doing the observing.

The Mosses Part 2 by LD Brown | The conclusion of this strange adventure

The conclusion of this eerie, atmospheric story... “She lowered her voice, almost to a whisper and glanced to and fro as if cautious of her surroundings. “I think, perhaps, that you might not be able to endure the experience.” Initially, I thought that this little put down of hers was typical of her character; it was both something of a good-natured tease and a defensive stance against what she regarded as my rigid scepticism. It is only now, as I relate these events so many years later, that there was no veiled meaning in those words of hers.  It was simply a warning…”  What began as curiosity now gives way to consequence, as the true nature of The Mosses reveals itself: Slow, inescapable, and far older than those who wander into it. This original paranormal folk horror story explores consequence, inevitability, and the quiet terror of realizing the warning was real.

The Mosses Part 1 by LD Brown | A strange story of experimentation

Beneath the still waters of The Mosses, something ancient waits... This is part 1 of a 2-part episode. “These marshes and bogs beheld a great abundance of streams which criss-crossed the rough grass in huge spider-web formations. These streams grew, split, thickened and slowed so very gradually until, at the very heart of the marsh, all gentle trickling ceased and great pools of brown water stood silent and deep. I had been informed that these areas were known as “The Mosses,” and it would be most unwise to leave the path and explore them…”  Deep within the wetlands known as The Mosses, the land itself begins to change, something ancient seems to watch from beneath the still, dark water. Not all danger announces itself, some ancient forms of it simply wait. This original paranormal folk horror story explores isolation, landscape, and the quiet terror of stepping somewhere you were never meant to go. If you enjoy this story, continue your listening with: The Mosses – Part 2 (continue the story as the true horror of the marsh begins to reveal itself) The Overcoat (another unsettling tale by the same author, steeped in atmosphere and creeping dread) Blackdamp (a claustrophobic story where the environment itself becomes deadly) About the Author L.D. Brown writes atmospheric horror inspired by the landscapes of the Lake District — a world of wetlands, woodlands, and quiet places where something always feels just slightly off.In addition to writing, he runs Tallow Tales: The Hawkshead Ghost Walk, sharing local folklore and ghost stories in one of England’s most hauntingly beautiful regions.Find more from L.D.

Folded In by Willerby | A twisted tale of mystery and danger

A house that doesn’t behave. A space that won’t stay still. What if reality has rules… and this Willerby house breaks them? "Mauve went round the house with Caitlin pulling down every blind, closing every curtain and turning off every light. “Where we’re going don’t fit with the shape of this world we’re used to,” she said, “and seeing things in it will mislead us. What looks, I don’t know, like a chair two feet way don’t mean in the places we are trying to get to there’s a chair two feet away. It could be a mile away. It might not be a chair…” What begins as a strange set of instructions quickly becomes something far more disorienting, as familiar space begins to twist, stretch, and collapse into something unknowable.Distances shift. Objects deceive. And once you step inside, the world you understand may no longer apply. This original paranormal horror story explores altered dimensions, perception, and the terrifying idea of slipping into a place that doesn’t follow the rules of reality. If you enjoy this story, continue your listening with:\ Shortcuts (another unsettling tale from Willerby, where a simple path leads somewhere it shouldn’t) Spores (a deeply unsettling story where something begins to spread beyond control) The Thing in the Wall (a nightmare where reality begins to break and something crosses through) About the Story Folded In comes from the mysterious town of Willerby — a place that seems to exist slightly out of step with the rest of the world.These stories were discovered during the early planning stages of Haunted UK Fiction, on a website documenting the town and its inhabitants. The identity of those behind it remains unknown, but permission was granted to share these accounts under a number of unusual conditions.

The Last Passenger by Iain Maynard | A daily commute turns to terror

A late-night train. A silent passenger. Some journeys shouldn’t be taken alone. “A faint suggestion of an arm could be made out from the folds and depressions in the blanket. Stranger still, Jake ascertained by its stance and posture that the figure was facing the wall, its nose all but touching it. As he looked at this shrouded figure the train had begun to move and leave the station. A few seconds into its movement, the car suddenly jolted, as though it had lost all power, the lights in the car also flickering out for a couple of seconds…”  What begins as an ordinary journey quickly turns into something far more unsettling, as one passenger notices something that doesn’t belong, and can’t be ignored. In a place designed to move people from one stop to the next, something else may quietly remain on board. This original paranormal horror story explores isolation, confined spaces, and the quiet terror of being trapped with something you don’t understand. If you enjoy this story, continue your listening with: HMP Signal’s End (a claustrophobic and tension-filled tale where something refuses to stay contained) Blackdamp (a suffocating underground horror where unseen danger proves deadly) The Swaying Woman of Skelton Wharf (a haunting encounter where a single moment lingers long after it should) About the Author Iain Maynard is a lifelong fan of the paranormal, with a passion for horror across books, film, television, and theatre. Drawing inspiration from real locations and lived experience, his work brings the uncanny into familiar, everyday settings. Submit your story: Have a paranormal or supernatural tale?
