HUN #62 - Ghosts, Grief, and Guidance: An Interview with Psychic Medium Leanna Anscomb

It’s special guest time again on Haunted Up North, as we welcome psychic medium and tarot reader Leanna Anscomb to the show. In this episode, Leanna shares her encounter with the ghost of Lydia Bell - the infamous Pink Lady of Scarborough - and reveals what it’s really like to grow into life as a psychic medium. In one of our more emotive episodes, Leanna speaks candidly about grief, how we might reframe the passing of a loved one, and how to protect ourselves from negative energy, especially during vulnerable times. She also warns of the dangers posed by predators who masquerade as spiritualists, and gives us a proper fright with some chilling tales of spectres she’s crossed paths with during her evolution as a medium.

HUN #58 - The Curse of 15 Learmonth Gardens

Have you ever heard of someone being haunted by a bone? In the 1930s, Alexander Hay Seton took a trip to Egypt that would change his life forever. When he and his wife Zeyla returned to their elegant house at 15 Learmonth Gardens in Edinburgh with a piece of an ancient skeleton, they unwittingly invited something sinister across the threshold. What followed was a chilling series of supernatural events that neither of them could explain, but both were certain had everything to do with the mysterious bone...
