The Night I Thought Something Was Trying to Speak Through Me : Gosport Isolation Hospital

In this episode of Beyond Haunted UK, Jamie revisits a personal experience from the old Gosport Smallpox Isolation Hospital on Monks Walk - a place designed to separate the sick from the public during outbreaks of infectious disease. What began as a quiet investigation inside the abandoned site quickly became something far more unsettling. While sitting inside a small room centred around a Ouija board, Jamie describes a sudden internal shift - not something seen or heard, but something felt. A pressure. An urge to speak. A moment where control felt uncertain. This episode explores that experience through a grounded and reflective lens, considering the space between environment, psychology, and the possibility of something beyond explanation. Rather than offering answers, it focuses on the feeling itself -and how moments like this can stay with us long after we leave the place behind. Topics include: Gosport isolation hospital, smallpox history, Ouija boards, paranormal investigation, psychological perception, environment and atmosphere, and unexplained experiences.

The Crucifix I Couldn’t Ignore

In this episode of Beyond Haunted UK, Jamie shares a personal experience involving a crucifix purchased from an antique shop - an object that stayed on his mind long after he first saw it. What began as a simple purchase gradually developed into something more reflective, as wearing the crucifix became part of daily life. Over time, this was followed by an unexpected shift in thinking, including a growing curiosity around church and belief that hadn’t previously been present. This episode explores the crucifix not just as a religious symbol, but as something shaped by history, meaning, and personal interpretation. It considers whether the object itself had any influence, or whether it simply brought attention to something that was already there. Through a grounded and reflective lens, this episode sits between psychology and spirituality, examining how symbols, environment, and awareness can shape the way experiences are understood. Topics include: Crucifix symbolism, belief, psychology, religious influence, personal experience, perception, and unexplained shifts in thought.

I Tried Witchcraft… And Something Changed

In this episode of Beyond Haunted UK, Jamie explores the idea of witchcraft — not as it’s often portrayed, but as something rooted in intention, belief, and personal experience. From early curiosity and fascination, to using spiritual practices during a time of grief, this episode reflects on what witchcraft can represent on a personal level. It looks beyond stereotypes to explore how intention, environment, and emotion can shape the way these practices are experienced. The episode also considers the idea of witchcraft “going wrong” — not in dramatic or exaggerated ways, but in subtle shifts in perception, atmosphere, and awareness that can feel difficult to explain. Through a grounded and reflective lens, this episode explores the space between psychology and spirituality, and whether experiences linked to witchcraft come from something external… or something within us. Topics include: Witchcraft, spiritual practice, intention, energy, grief and healing, psychological perception, ritual, and unexplained experiences.

Something About Annabelle Doesn’t Feel Right

In this episode of Beyond Haunted UK, Jamie explores the story of the Annabelle doll — one of the most famous and widely debated haunted objects in the world. Unlike the version portrayed in film, the real Annabelle is a simple Raggedy Ann doll, reportedly linked to a series of unsettling events that brought it to the attention of paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren. This episode looks beyond the popular narrative to explore the history of the Annabelle case, the reported hauntings, and the accounts that led to the doll being considered dangerous. It also explores the wider question of whether objects can truly hold negative energy, and how belief, environment, and psychology shape the way we interpret these experiences. As Jamie prepares to come face to face with the real Annabelle at Pennhurst, the episode reflects on what it means to stand in front of an object surrounded by decades of fear, story, and reputation — and whether that reaction comes from something external, or something within us. Through a grounded and reflective lens, this episode explores haunted objects, possession, and the human tendency to assign meaning and energy to the physical world around us. Topics include: Annabelle doll history, Ed and Lorraine Warren, haunted objects, possession, paranormal investigation, psychological perception, spiritual belief, and unexplained phenomena.
