We are back in the Spooky Shed, with Liam Holmes—podcaster, skeptic-turned-paranormal investigator, and host of The Spooky Shed Podcast. What began as a curious exploration into the unknown has transformed Liam's world: as the saying goes, when you look into the paranormal, it looks back.Join us as Liam delivers a riveting update on the past six months that shattered his skepticism and turned him into a full-time believer in high strangeness. From paranormal activity in his home to an intense overnight investigation at 30 East Drive—the unassuming 1950s semi-detached council house in Pontefract, West Yorkshire, infamous as one of Britain's (and possibly Europe's) most haunted locations. Home to the notorious Black Monk poltergeist—often called "Fred"—this site is widely regarded for some of the most violent and documented paranormal activity in history.Teaming up with the New Dawn Paranormal team, Liam faced truly terrifying phenomena: physical torment—including scratches—and activity that defies rational explanation. The night took an even darker turn during a session of mirror scrying—an ancient divination practice using reflective surfaces like black mirrors to commune with spirits, glimpse other realms, or peer into the past and future. In the dim light, Liam experienced something so profoundly unsettling that it pushed him to his limits.We also dive into the strange activity now unfolding in Liam's own home, alongside unsettling ghostly encounters involving his family—proof that once the veil is lifted, the weirdness often follows you home.Gear up and get freaky with official Let's Get Freaky merchandise!

Join me for the chilling legend of the Black Monk of Pontefract, one of England's most infamous haunted house cases. The story centers on 30 East Drive, a quiet home in Yorkshire plagued by violent poltergeist activity in the late 1960s.

In the late 1960s, a modest council house in Pontefract, England, became the site of one of the most violent and terrifying hauntings ever recorded. The Pritchard family reported pools of water forming on the floor, objects flying through the air, and ghostly apparitions roaming their home. At the center of it all was a sinister figure known as the Black Monk, a dark presence said to be tied to the town's bloody past. Was it poltergeist activity, mass hysteria, or something darker that tormented the family at 30 East Drive? In this episode, we investigate the chilling case of the Black Monk of Pontefract.

Welcome to Britain's most haunted house — 30 East Drive in Pontefract — where a seemingly ordinary family home turned into a prison of nightmares. What started with mysterious puddles, floating dust clouds, and furniture that moved on its own quickly escalated into full-blown poltergeist chaos. Known by the Pritchard family as Fred, the Black Monk of Pontefract wasn't just mischievous — it was terrifying, violent, and maybe even hungry (yes, this spirit snacked on sandwiches). From eggs exploding mid-air to priests fleeing after failed exorcisms, the Pritchard family lived through a haunting so wild it inspired an actual horror film. But in between the chills, there are moments so bizarre they're almost funny — like disembodied fur gloves conducting a hymn sing-along. Still, the poltergeist's obsession with teenage Diane, culminating in a nightmarish attempt to drag her away, proved this was no harmless prankster.

Happy Spooky Wednesday, dear listeners! If our subject this week sounds ominous, that's because it is! Brittany tells us all about the Black Monk of Pontefract. The bulk of this haunting occurred in England during the 1970s and 1980s. This ordinary-looking home was plagued by extraordinary events brought on by an entity known as “Fred.” While the haunting seemed standard enough, it eventually escalated and seemed targeted specifically at the family's daughter. While the activity had come and gone throughout the years, now that the home is available for paranormal investigation, it seems like the otherworldly activity is documented enough that it would be hard to dispute!

“Even if you hate your job, you hate your career- Collect everything you possibly can from this experience and then move to the next thing and collect everything from that.” Jay Shetty  Pivot Family, in this introspective and soul-stirring episode, we go outside our comfort zone of sports and entertainment, approach topics we tend to ignore and ask questions that will help guide us to not just find our purpose but to LIVE our purpose, and who better to do it with than a man who sits atop the space, globally known for his wisdom and guidance. New York Times Best Selling author, Award-winning podcast host and former monk Jay Shetty brings a powerful blend of vulnerability, clarity, and wisdom to the discussion. Known for helping millions navigate personal growth and emotional healing, Jay sits down with the newly minted Black Monk (our own Ryan Clark), Channing and Fred to share how his life has been built on pivots. Spiritually, emotionally, and professionally, “My life has just been full of pivots… I don't actually want to be ever not pivoting,” he says, embracing change as a lifelong practice rather than a one-time choice. Jay opens up to the guys about his unlikely journey from chasing status in London to giving it all up to become a monk, living in an ashram. Ryan asks if it was a failure to leave the monastery after three years to pursue his calling for motivational speaking as the guys discuss the reality of how life shifts and if we don't evolve, we can't grow. Jay recounts the days when no one showed up to hear him speak, the power of pushing forward and not being afraid to start at zero, reminding us all that growth requires humility, patience, and persistence. Throughout the conversation, Jay breaks down the challenges people face in modern relationships, identity, and purpose. He speaks candidly about love. What it is, what it isn't, and why we often confuse instability for excitement, flipping the cultural script on romance and connection. Whether discussing solitude, emotional baggage, or finding meaning through pain, Jay delivers deep truths with the calm assurance of someone who's lived every word. Jay opens up about marriage, failure, grief, and the challenge of letting go of people, careers, and versions of ourselves we've outgrown. He shares with the guys that we lose love to remind ourselves that there are other emotional skills to be developed by challenging us to grow beyond heartbreak, not just recover from it. More than just motivation, this episode is a toolkit for self-discovery. With his signature compassion and clarity, Jay Shetty proves that pivoting isn't something you fear, it's how you evolve. Whether you're starting over or standing still, this conversation might be the shift you didn't know you needed. Like and Comment what your biggest takeaway is from the conversation.

At 30 East Drive, the poltergeist doesn't just make noise—it throws furniture, slams doors, and terrorizes anyone inside. What began as falling dust and eerie cold spots escalated into green foam oozing from faucets, lights exploding, and the dark figure of the Black Monk lurking in the shadows. Even priests failed to stop it. Decades later, the terror hasn't faded—visitors report being pushed, scratched, and watched by something unseen. Is this Britain's most violent haunting, or is there another explanation? Enter if you dare.

It started with a few weird little things—a strange chill, mysterious puddles, objects moving on their own—but before long, the Pritchard family found themselves trapped in one of the most violent hauntings in England, tormented by the terrifying Black Monk of Pontefract.IN THIS EPISODE: A family moves into a home and almost immediately begins to experience escalating supernatural activity – which then introduces a sinister, dark menacing entity. (The Black Monk) *** Urban legends are typically dark, strange stories which for the most part are only that – legend. Harmless tales meant to frighten the listener with no more repercussions than some goose bumps and perhaps a restless night of trying to sleep. But some legends are based on truth – and those are the ones that truly make our skin crawl and our faces turn white.

Alasdair introduces James to the inverted ghost of Lady Elizabeth Hoby. Prepare your ears for the tragic tale of Lady Hoby's (imaginary) son William. Are the legends true? Was the mistress of Bisham Abbey cursed by a Benedictine monk? Was Lady Hoby... a murderer? As usual, the answer is "probably not". But that won't stop the Loreboys. And if anyone invites you to Bisham Abbey, take care that you don't fall foul of the curse of the black monk! Thunderclap!

IN THIS EPISODE: A family moves into a home and almost immediately begins to experience escalating supernatural activity – which then introduces a sinister, dark menacing entity. (The Black Monk) *** Urban legends are typically dark, strange stories which for the most part are only that – legend. Harmless tales meant to frighten the listener with no more repercussions than some goose bumps and perhaps a restless night of trying to sleep. But some legends are based on truth – and those are the ones that truly make our skin crawl and our faces turn white. (Urban Legends Which Are Actually True) *** Why would a U.S. state vote to have an official state demon? It really happened – and stories about the Jersey Devil continue to this day. We'll look at the history and horrors of this bizarre cryptid and see if it's more than urban legend. (Legend of the Jersey Devil) *** Delano, California is a small, uninteresting town that many may think twice before visiting. East of this town is an equally dreary road known as Browning Road. If you're a paranormal enthusiast, you know that this is one road you shouldn't dare travel alone. (Hitchhiking Ghost of Delano) *** A woman shares her horrifying true story of an evil entity she encountered on Browning Road in Delano, California. (Evil Walks Browning Road) *** In the summer of 2014 a series of UFOs were being reported by Navy pilots – the most elite of our airborne military. Not only were the sightings becoming more frequent – they would last up to 12-hours at a time.
