The CAT Club in association with Route Publishing presents a long playing vinyl record . . .BOB DYLAN – BRINGING IT ALL BACK HOMEBob Dylan's fifth album Bringing It All Back Home was released in March 1965. The introduction of electric guitar into his sound set off a wave of controversy that came symbolically crashing down at the Free Trade Hall in Manchester fourteen months later when some wag shouted ‘Judas!' Ian Clayton, author of the bestselling memoir Bringing It All Back Home, was in a fascinating conversation with Ian Daley of Route publishing, who have re-issued CP Lee's classic book, Like The Night to coincide with the 60th anniversary of the legendary concert.This event took place on 14th May 2026 in the Pigeon Loft at The Robin Hood, Pontefract, West Yorkshire.This podcast has been edited for content and for copyright reasons.To find out more about the CAT Club please visit: www.thecatclub.co.ukYou can follow us on Facebook and Instagram.Happy Trails.

It's been a bit since we offered up a heaping helping of spooky ghost activity, so we figured that we would remedy that with a classic case that we haven't gone over yet.  This week we are covering the Black Monk House of Pontefract.  This case has all the spooky hallmarks of a really good haunting. Everything from knocking sounds and moving objects to phantom attacks and shadow people.  You want a little slime with your tap water? The Black Monk House has you covered.    The Black Monk House has now become a destination Bed and Breakfast that YOU can go to and spend the night, conduct a little paranormal investigating, maybe sip on some o' that sweet slime and call it a vacation.  Just beware of the paranormal hitchikers.

Good morning. “Do not be so open-minded that your brains fall out.” I was reminded of that quip from G. K. Chesterton last week, when I visited The Old Ferryboat Inn in Cambridgeshire, which not only claims to be the oldest pub in England (serving ale since 560AD, apparently), but also to have a resident ghost. A young woman took her life for love almost a thousand years ago and local legend has it she's haunted the place ever since, appearing each year on the anniversary of her death: the 17th March. That date also happens to be St Patrick's Day, which is perhaps not the ideal occasion for sober eyewitness testimony. But it's easy to be sceptical…. According to a recent National Folklore Survey, more than a third of people in England believe in ghosts, and many like the idea of them too. “A haunted house at the top of your street is fantastic,” said Caroline Gibson from Pontefract in Yorkshire, speaking to the BBC about a poltergeist who is currently trending on social media, after featuring on the paranormal podcast, Uncanny. The occult does not sit easily with mainstream Christianity. The Church warns against séances, spirit-hunting and attempts to conjure the dead. Yet in an age inclined to explain everything materially, Christianity insists that the world does indeed have a spiritual dimension. A problem remains, however, of how to discern between spiritual reality versus superstition — or for that matter, between good versus evil spiritual forces. “Do not be so open-minded that your brains fall out” doesn't really help us with that discernment, but Chesterton, himself a Christian, followed up with another one-liner that might be more useful. “The object of opening the mind, as of opening the mouth, is to shut it again on something solid.” That gets us closer. Open the mind, just not endlessly, to no purpose: open it up to close it again. The risk of being open-minded is that you may sometimes look foolish or naïve. But there is risk too in being so determined never to be gulled, or seemingly unscientific, that you refuse in advance the richness that comes with leading a spiritual life. Ghost stories challenge us to believe that there's more to the world than what we can understand in purely physical terms. Christianity goes further still, teaching that we ourselves are more than merely physical beings. If a haunted house in your street can be called fantastic, then why shouldn't a church be called the same – in both meanings of the word? Fantastic in the modern sense of being great, but also in the older sense of being extra-ordinary. A place for open minds to shut down on something solid.

The CAT Club presents An Appreciation ofTHE PRETTY THINGS With special guest, former band memberWALLY WALLERThe Pretty Things hold a unique place in the history of British rock. Formed in the early sixties from the same London R&B scene that produced The Rolling Stones, they began as one of the rawest and most uncompromising groups before evolving into one of its most adventurous.Over the course of the decade they helped chart the journey from beat group to album-led experimentation, pushing British rock into darker and more ambitious territory.Their later work produced some of the period's most forward-thinking records, including S.F. Sorrow, widely recognised as the first rock opera, and Parachute, now seen as a defining statement of the era. Though rarely rewarded with sustained commercial success, The Pretty Things became a touchstone for musicians drawn to innovation over conformity.Wally Waller joined the band during this crucial creative period and became a central figure in their development as bassist, singer, songwriter and later producer. His work with The Pretty Things and beyond placed him at the heart of a remarkable era of British music making.Jason Barnard was in the interviewer's chair. Another first class interview from JB which aided and abetted by many hours of research by his good self.A splendid time was had by all.This event took place on 30th April 2026 in the Pigeon Loft at The Robin Hood, Pontefract, West Yorkshire.This podcast has been edited for content and for copyright reasonsTo find out more about the CAT Club please visit: www.thecatclub.co.ukHappy Trails.

Det som gör fallet unikt… är att flera vittnen, inklusive polis, säger att de upplevde samma sak. Och vissa hävdar att de inte bara kände det. De såg det.

The CAT Club presents a long playing vinyl record:TOM PETTY & THE HEARTBREAKERS (debut album)with special guest JOHN WILLIAMSAt the time Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers' eponymous debut was released in 1976, the band were fresh enough to almost be considered punk.Like the Ramones, they shared a love for ‘60s rock and roll. For the Heartbreakers that meant embracing the Byrds as much as the Stones. The result is a classic album with tuneful jangle balanced by a tough garage swagger.When we asked acclaimed producer John Williams to pick his favourite album, the man at the helm of many a fine record by The Proclaimers, The Housemartins, Paul Heaton & Jacqui Abbott, Petula Clark, The Waterboys and many others, replied instantly: “The first Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers LP.”The result was another great CAT Club gathering with our good friend Jeff Matthews in the interviewer's chair opposite the truly wonderful John Williams.A splendid time was had by all.This event took place on 26th February 2026 in the Pigeon Loft at The Robin Hood, Pontefract, West Yorkshire.This podcast has been edited for content and for copyright reasonsTo find out more about the CAT Club please visit: www.thecatclub.co.ukHappy Trails.

Nie wszyscy zgadzają się z koncepcją, według której poltergeist (tzw. hałaśliwy duch) jest tworem generowanym nieświadomie przez osoby dysponujące zdolnościami psychokinetycznymi. Dowody na to mają kryć się w domniemanej inteligencji sił, które zamieniają życie mieszkańców nawiedzonych domów w piekło. Zwolennicy teorii o istnieniu złych duchów, tacy jak Colin Wilson i Guy Playfair twierdzą, że dowody na nią wynikają z analizy przypadków takich, jak historia poltergeista z Pontefract.

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!

The haunting at 30 East Drive, a semi-detached council house in Pontefract, West Yorkshire, commenced shortly after the Pritchard family moved in during August 1966. This episode delves into the unsettling experiences the family encountered, attributed to an unseen force which they referred to as Fred, while media dubbed it Mr. Nobody. The narrative escalates with increasingly disturbing incidents, particularly focusing on the youngest child, Diane, who was allegedly dragged up the stairs by this malevolent entity, leaving her with visible marks. The notoriety of this case has rendered 30 East Drive one of the most renowned poltergeist hauntings in England, inspiring literature and various media adaptations, including the horror film "When the Lights Went Out." As we explore the timeline and complexities of this haunting, we invite you to join us in uncovering the mysteries that surround this infamous location.Takeaways:The haunting at 30 East Drive in Pontefract began shortly after the Pritchard family moved in, with strange occurrences escalating quickly from minor disturbances to alarming physical manifestations.Over time, the haunting was associated with the legend of the Black Monk of Pontefract, a 16th-century figure said to have been executed for murder, which added a historical context to the family's experiences.Diane Pritchard, the youngest child, became the focus of the haunting, experiencing incidents such as being dragged up the stairs by an unseen force, leaving her with visible marks on her throat.The 30 East Drive case gained national attention, inspiring books, documentaries, and a horror film, culminating in the property becoming a popular destination for paranormal enthusiasts and investigations.Despite the compelling nature of the events, there are numerous inconsistencies and contradictions in the timeline of occurrences, leading to skepticism regarding the authenticity of the haunting.The current owner of 30 East Drive, Bill Bungay, has reported renewed paranormal activity since purchasing the house, suggesting that the location continues to be a site of interest for both believers and skeptics.

L'histoire que Taous raconte aujourd'hui est celle de la famille Pritchard, qui a vécu un véritable calvaire dans les années 60 à cause d'un vilain poltergeist qui a pris le contrôle de leur domicile. Leur petite maison, située dans la ville de Pontefract, en Angleterre, ne leur avait causé aucun problème avant l'été 1966. En août de cette année-là, le jeune Philip Pritchard, alors âgé de 15 ans, est seul à la maison avec sa grand-mère, Sarah. Ses parents, Joe et Jean, sont en vacances avec sa petite sœur, Diane, mais l'adolescent a demandé à en être dispensé. À cet âge-là, les vacances en famille ne le font plus rêver, et il préfère encore cohabiter avec sa grand-mère. Persuadé de pouvoir passer un été tranquille, il est loin de se douter de ce qui l'attend... Feu de Camp est un podcast NRJ, écrit et incarné par Taous Merakchi.

In the late 1960s, a quiet family home at 30 East Drive in Pontefract, England, became the site of one of the most violent hauntings ever recorded.

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!

At the age of 21 Mostafa Asal reached world number one for the first time, and he made it to the promised land once again a few months ago, recently retaining that top spot in a winner take all type final at El Ghuna earlier this April. In the aftermath of that win though, a youtube video titled "Mostafa Asal Cheating Analysis" was released highlighting 4 or 5 areas in Asal's game that they allege prove he is cheating. The video could have been an objective piece that identifies and discusses the leg trips, aggressive swings, and taking space issues, but instead the video is injected with troubling hateful language and doesn't raise any questions, only pointing fingers solely at Asal. Mostafa provides his thoughts on the video and how he's handling the upshot of it all. We also discuss the high stakes face-off with Ali Farag at El Ghouna, how he adjusted to life and squash in Pontefract, his relationship with coach James Willstrop, his brother Marwan and much more.

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. (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.
