Thank you all !!! About Bil Bil Bungay (with one L) is a filmmaker, author, inventor, and ad man—co-founder of BMB, one of London's top 10 advertising agencies. Now a tech entrepreneur, he founded Velocity Group in 2015. Randomly - Bil also owns 30 East Drive, better known as the Black Monk house—the most haunted house in the UK! Once a firm skeptic of ghosts, aliens, and the paranormal, Bil's outlook changed when the poltergeist in his house made its presence undeniably known. This eerie encounter led to his film When the Lights Went Out and book The Black Monk of Pontefract. It also sparked a deep fascination with the nature of reality because, as he puts it: “When an object materializes out of thin air before your very eyes—you write a book.” His filmmaking credits include When the Lights Went Out, Moon, Nureyev, Diego Maradona, and The Parapod Movie: A Very British Ghost Hunt.

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.

The CAT Club presents a classic vinyl album:LIVE AT THE WITCH TRIALS – THE FALLwith special guestsMARK HOYLE & PAUL HANLEYAn incendiary debut album, Live At The Witch Trials introduces The Fall as 'northern white crap that talks back'. And so it was for the next four decades: abrasive, non-conformist, literate, witty, rhythmic.It was a sound and attitude obsessed over by two teenage Mancunians, Paul Hanley and Mark Hoyle. Mark took great inspiration from the album when fronting his own band, Dub Sex, and Paul would later join The Fall himself on drums. Both will talk about the music scene in Manchester around the time, and the impact this record and The Fall had on it.This event took place on 30th January 2025 in the Pigeon Loft at The Robin Hood, Pontefract, West Yorkshire.Special thanks to our good friends at Route publishing for all their help with making this gathering a special one for so many people.To find out more about the CAT Club please visit: www.thecatclub.co.ukThis podcast has been edited for content and for copyright reasons.Happy Trails.

Boa quinta-feira, pessoas bonitas ♥️Vocês sabem que eu tenho um fraquinho por histórias de fantasmas, especialmente se o foco é uma casa assombrada. Poltergeists também são um tema que muito aprecio e, apesar de já me ter debruçado sobre isso quando cá trouxe a Sofia para o episódio do Enfield Poltergeist em Dezembro de 2021, esta é mais uma história sobre um desses espíritos zangados e ingleses.

A CAT Club presentation in association with Strange Brew podcasts. AN AUDIENCE WITH KEN SCOTT “The venue, the team and the audience were all wonderful and made my presentation at the CAT Club totally enjoyable. Thank you everyone!” Ken Scott. Here's a lovely write up from our good friend Elliot Smaje (he of Wall of Sound Records fame) about the final CAT Club gathering of 2024. Following on from the great Phill Brown just a few weeks prior to this event we saw another producer/engineer – the legend that is KEN SCOTT on the CAT Club stage in The Robin Hood's Pigeon Loft in Pontefract before another sold out audience . . . "Tonight's CAT Club ends a magnificent year of events with yet another triumph. Entertaining and engaging from start to finish, Ken Scott, along with the insightful interviewing skills of Jason Barnard presented us with 13 tracks that served as an overview of his extensive career in the world of music. Whilst looking at the list, one might conclude that it's a case of being in the right place at the right time, but it is clear from Ken's modest recount of his history that he has achieved what he has firstly by knowledge and also by passion. Maybe he was fortuitous to have found an industry that was still in it's infancy in discovering new sounds and techniques and technology and was still very open to being a place where the enthusiast was welcome to come in and have space to prove themselves, but he still had to prove his merit in being able to do that. The fact that he was in the mix on Beatles recordings very quickly and progressed up the ranks of responsibilities is a testimony to that ability. And as he also said, there's a percentage of being able to get on with people in there too and it was abundantly clear that Ken charmed the room within minutes with his insider stories of the making of these great records. Also of note is the diversity along the length of his career, starting at EMI Abbey Road and working with the likes of The Beatles and then to Trident Studios and collaborations with Bowie and Lou Reed. Then on to the likes of Elton John and Supertramp before exploring the world of jazz fusion and latterly Americana. But ultimately Ken was a great listen and I sure that we could have happily heard hours more of the same because ultimately as fans, hearing about things first hand is always that nth degree better. Thanks to Jason Barnard for great interviewing, Rev Reynolds for keeping us all in order, Drey for sound and making the ladies luurve, Lee and Stacey for hosting, Amanda Cooke for new found raffle technique and Liz Wheeldon for being book mistress for the night. The CAT Club has been like Crufts this year. It's attracted the best, the cream ( and the sons of!) the best of breed, the pedigree and the pedigree have loved being here. The CAT Club has become pedigree chums. Here's to 2025." Elliot Smaje. Very special thanks to JASON BARNARD of Strange Brew podcasts for his stint in the interviewer's chair and for all the time and effort he put into this one. This event took place on 12th December 2024 in the Pigeon Loft at The Robin Hood, Pontefract, West Yorkshire.

Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year! It's the last pod of the year with chocolate choices, some Top 3 parkrun Moments of 2024, Facebook issues, St Nic Nic popped to Pontefract parkrun and Danta Claus took to the trails at Trelai Park parkrun in Cardiff. 

The CAT Club, in association with Strange Brew podcasts, presents a classic vinyl album::OGDENS' NUT GONE FLAKE – THE SMALL FACES There was no shortage of outstanding psychedelic albums in the late 1960s, but the Small Faces classic Ogdens' Nut Gone Flake, proved to be one of the greatest. With special guest PHILL BROWN A sixteen year old called Phill Brown was the tape operator on Ogdens' Nut Gone Flake. Not only did he talk to a captivated CAT Club audience about that album but he regaled us with many a fine tale from his subsequent career as a renowned engineer and producer. Stories about working with the Stones, Hendrix, Bob Marley, Nilsson, Led Zeppelin, David Bowie, Talk Talk, Dido and many others including fellow legendary producer, Glyn Johns (and not working with Morrissey and the Smiths) had our jaws dropping and smiles beaming on our faces. We also learned that editing tape after being given a rather larger spliff from Aston "Family Man" Barrett of the Wailers isn't a good idea. Only the proverbial tip of the iceberg was covered which is a good reason to have Phill Brown back at The CAT Club sometime in the future. Meanwhile, we recommend Phill's fine memoir ‘Are We Still Rolling? Studios, Drugs and Rock 'n' Roll – One Man's Journey Recording Classic Albums.' JASON BARNARD of Strange Brew podcasts was in the interviewer's chair. This event took place on 28th November 2024 in the Pigeon Loft at The Robin Hood, Pontefract, West Yorkshire.

AN AUDIENCE WITH IAN RANKIN A Life in Music . .  The superb Inspector Rebus novels are littered with musical references throughout, so we were delighted when legendary award winning author, Sir Ian Rankin agreed to come along to talk about his own life with our favourite art form.  Originally, Ian's friend (and also a best selling Scottish author), John Niven was to be the interviewer, but an important business trip to New Orleans came along and alternative arrangements had to be made. The CAT Club's very own AMANDA COOK stepped into the breach and made us all so proud of her. After a brief chat about Ian's latest blockbuster release, ‘Midnight and Blue,' the musical tastes of John Rebus did indeed feature in a fascinating evening with a true giant of the wonderful world of literature. Ian took us on a personal journey through his life explaining how music played such an important role along the way. As well as being a great novelist, Ian is also a great raconteur with a terrific sense of humour and he captivated the sold audience for over two memorable hours. Special thanks to Amanda Cook for a terrific stint in the interviewer's chair. This event took place on 21st November 2024 in the Pigeon Loft at The Robin Hood, Pontefract, West Yorkshire.

Send us comments, suggestions and ideas here! Listen to the full episode here!In this week's episode we finally dive into the story of arguably the United Kingdom's most powerful haunting; the case of The Black Monk of Pontefract. With Tim Hacker of the Cryptic Chronicles Podcast (www.CrypticChronicles.com), our story begins when the Farrar family purchased a new home built over land with a dark history only to be driven away when they realized their baby might be in danger. When the Pritchard's moved in shortly after, it would not be long until their world too would be turned completely upside down. With activity so powerful it could reliably spook a hardened skeptic there were times the Pritchard's even feared for their life. In the extended show we discuss the spectacular fall-out from the ill-fated exorcism the family performed and some of the most remarkable instances of high-strangeness ever recorded which shortly followed, often characterized by religious themes. Near the end we discuss if the Black Monk is truly a poltergeist, a ghost, an Elemental or even a demon while exploring a number of the psycho-spiritual factors which likely made the activity so potent and what finally stopped it. Thank you and enjoy the show! In this week's episode we discuss:What is a Poltergeist?The Enfield Poltergeist vs. The Black Monk of Pontefract Local History The Farrar Family EncountersAdolescent TriggersThe Pritchard Family EncountersAn Intelligent HauntingThe Ghost Chose Violence In the extended episode available at www.patreon.com/TheWholeRabbit we go further down the rabbit hole to discuss:What is Apportation?19 Mysterious KeysScaring Away The PriestCan You Exorcize a Poltergeist?? The Sticking CrucifixApportation Of the EggsFlying FurnitureThe Manipura ChakraAppearance To ManifestationThe Hollywood MovieWhat Scared The Ghost Away??Demon, Ghost, Poltergeist or Elemental? Each host is responsible for writing and creating the content they present.

THE CRAZY WORLD OF ARTHUR BROWN with special guest ARTHUR BROWN. The eponymous ‘The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown,' which included the smash hit single ‘Fire,' was released in 1968. With Vincent Crane on keyboards, Drachen Theaker on drums and Nick Greenwood (billed as Sean Nicholas) on bass guitar, and with Brown's extraordinary vocals, it was perhaps an album that could never be repeated and it remains an exhilarating slice of psychedelia at its prime and extremity. Arthur Brown is a seminal figure in the realm of psychedelic rock. Emerging in the late 1960s, The Crazy World of Arthur Brown melded surreal stage antics with pioneering sounds, cementing their place in rock history. Brown's captivating persona, marked by his operatic voice and wild, face-painted performances (including wearing a flaming helmet during the rendering of 'Fire') became a hallmark of their shows, influencing future generations of theatrical rock artists. Their music remains a symbol of the experimental and boundary-pushing spirit of the psychedelic era, continuing to inspire with their enduring legacy and ongoing musical contributions. Arthur Brown's influence on shock, progressive rock and on electronic and heavy metal music also cannot be underestimated. It was a fascinating interview with a fascinating man that included one of Arthur's famous helmets being set alight on the CAT Club stage during the video screening of the legendary 1968 Top of the Pops performance of ‘Fire!' The gathering culminated with a stunning live performance with Arthur singing ‘I Put A Spell On You' along to the original backing track ripped from the featured album. JASON BARNARD did an admirable job in the interviewer's chair it must be said. This event took place on 24th October 2024 in the Pigeon Loft at The Robin Hood, Pontefract, West Yorkshire.

Rerun: Before the Ballot Act of 18th July, 1872, the British electorate were expected to declare their preferred candidate publicly at hustings, often under pressure from their employers and landlords, and plied with alcohol supplied by the politicians standing for election, in a process known as ‘soaking'. Over the years, alternatives had been put forward - including Jeremy Bentham's concept of 1818, which involved a multitude of secret boxes with viewing windows - before the modern idea of private booths and a ballot box came to the fore.  In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and OIly explain why many voters saw secret ballots as sneaky and cowardly; explain how Australia beat Britain when it came to instituting voting in secret; and discover the teething problems experienced when Pontefract became the first town to test out the new process… Further Reading: • ‘Britain's first secret ballot' (BBC News, 2015): https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leeds-31630588 • ‘Rhodri Marsden's Interesting Objects: Pontefract's secret ballot box' (The Independent, 2015): https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/rhodri-marsden-s-interesting-objects-pontefract-s-secret-ballot-box-a114506.html • ‘What was the Secret Ballot? | The Ballot Act 1872' (Royal Holloway University London, 2020): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9M8Lix4FgUM Learn more about your ad choices.

When looking at it from the outside, the home at number 30 East Drive, Pontefract looks just like your run of the mill council house from the 50's. However, it's the supposed evil that lurks within that has given it the title of the most haunted home in Britain. But, how true is that title? Is 30 East Drive home to a vengeful spirit of a monk who had made his presence known to hundreds of people? Or, is it all nothing more than just spooky stories? . https://www.horrorhousetruecrime.com/ https://www.buymeacoffee.com/hhpod Insta: @horrorhouse_pod .

Las fotografías son una prueba inequívoca de un acontecimiento ocurrido. Mucho más, si se trata de fotografías tomadas hace años, cuando el editar las imágenes no era una opción. El Monje Negro de Pontefract: brutalidad paranormal contra una familia de clase media: Durante varias décadas, la familia Pritchard sufrió en un pueblo de Inglaterra la ira de uno de los casos de 'poltergeist' más violentos de los registrados en Europa: el protagonista era el fantasma de un monje ahorcado por la violación y asesinato de una niña. Luego de tres meses en casa, comenzaron a suceder hechos sin explicación aparente. Objetos se movían solos, ruidos extraños y raras voces que no pertenecían a nadie del núcleo familiar. Tantos fueron los acontecimientos que, desesperado, Beto decide grabar videos con el fin de buscar ayuda y develar de una vez por todas qué tipo de “cosa” acechaba a su familia y su hogar.

At the beginning of the investigation it was assumed that Shipman began his murderous activities in general practice in Todmorden and later in Hyde. A few inquiries were carried out initially by the Shipman Inquiry into his time as a hospital doctor, particularly after the relative of a patient who died in his care at Pontefract came forward. But there appeared to be no obvious evidence of any crime in the hospital, other than his own abuse of drugs in the six months prior to him leaving. It was initially a fair presumption that he was not killing, bearing in mind it is much harder for a doctor in a hospital to be alone with a patient than it is in general practice, and it would also be harder for him to obtain controlled drugs.
