    Nov 8 2024

    Greetings, my spectral spectators! 🌙 This week, the spirits have guided me to the lovely Wyvern Theatre in Swindon ignore the fact i mention that i'm in Cardiff! — who doesn't adore Swindon, eh? I'm thrilled to be here, and the energies are positively buzzing!

    Back at the studio, Linda shares about her grand clear-out. She's been moving CDs and books to make space, only to realize she didn't need them after all. 📀 Perhaps the spirits guided her to declutter—making room for new mystical tomes, maybe?


    Speaking of books, I've finally found a great audiobook: Stephen King's short stories, You Like It Darker. Absolutely superb! I hadn't realized how much I missed getting lost in a good book. Thanks to everyone who reached out with recommendations, especially Chris Altree on Insta, who suggested John Cooper Clarke's autobiography I Wanna Be Yours. I'll be diving into that—always eager to explore lyrical realms!


    We delve into a fascinating story about a youngster who believes they were Princess Diana in a past life, recounting detailed tales of Balmoral Castle! Imagine that—a royal reincarnation! 👑 We discuss the mysteries of past lives and the ethereal connections that bind us.

    From Fate and Fortune, we share a heartwarming tale of a grandad accepting his granddaughter's sexuality from the other side. A beautiful reminder that love transcends all realms. ❤️


    Linda and I tackle various dilemmas from our favourite magazines, offering our best spiritual advice. Whether it's haunted dolls giving you the creeps, challenges working with kids, or concerns about weight—we've got you covered with a sprinkle of spectral wisdom!

    We have a spine-tingling chat with Patrick Baskeyfield, who shares a spooky story that'll make your hair stand on end. 🕯️

    Then, I play a recording from my investigation at Greystoke Castle—one of the most haunted places in Cumbria! The spirits there are particularly chatty, and I had encounters you simply have to hear to believe. 👻


    We wrap up with a tale of an actress and a Ouija board—proof that the spirit world loves a bit of theatrical flair!

    So, join us for an episode filled with laughs, chills, and plenty of paranormal ponderings.

    Stay spooky, my loves, and remember—the veil is thinnest when we're together!

    Spiritually yours,

    Clint x

    Nov 1 2024

    Greetings, my spectral spectators! 🌙 This week, the spirits have guided me to the enchanting in Exmouth I'm joined by the incredible comedian Matt Bragg, who's not only sharing the stage with me tonight but has done quite a few times across the country on my tour.


    Back at the studio, Linda and I delve into a topic that haunts many—tight drivers who won't let you out of junctions! 🚗💨 Are northerners truly nicer than southerners on the roads, or is that just a spooky myth? We ponder whether manners are fading faster than a ghost at sunrise.


    We share a chilling story about ghosts in Kent—spirits who can't resist making an appearance. Speaking of unexpected voices, have you ever heard an old soul's voice from a young body? It's as eerie as it sounds! 👻


    Hold onto your tea leaves—we've got a recording from a bloke who captured an Elvis busker in Canada. 🎤 Could it be the King himself, serenading from the other side? Linda and I pass judgment—is he any good, or should he stick to haunting showers?


    We explore the mystical art of manifestation with the "Manifesting Mummy" from Fate and Fortune—a woman who conjured up a husband and kids! Then, we tackle a troublesome sibling duo from Take a Break, offering advice to restore harmony in their haunted household.


    Ever fancied writing a book? 📚 We muse about sharing tales from the mystical realms—perhaps the spirits will lend us a quill!


    But wait, there's more! Just when I thought I'd found peace, the ever-persistent Ruth visits my dressing room. Imagine finding her rummaging through my wardrobe! She's endearing yet exasperating—a slightly dim but well-meaning soul. Things get delightfully out of hand when she returns to help me de-stress—you won't believe what unfolds! 😅


    We also delve into a dilemma sent to Gordon Smith and discuss a predicament involving someone rekindling things with an ex. Ah, the spirits love a romantic entanglement!


    Finally, prepare for Goth Pire (Graham to his friends), who shares a story that'll chill you to the marrow. 🦇 We play his recording and can't help but chat along—spirits are notoriously chatty.


    Spiritually yours,

    Clint x

  • Season 7 - Episode 20
    Oct 25 2024

    Hello, my spectral spectators! Clinton Baptiste here, bringing you Episode 20 live from Bath’s Komedia—a stunning venue in the heart of the South West. Join me as we tour the paranormal hotspots of Exeter, Swindon, and beyond!

    Foreign Films and Spooky Flicks Back in the studio, Linda and I chat about foreign films that are “not shit,” like the eerie classic Suspiria from 1977. We dive into the world of French films, literature, and why some films just seem to drag on—because even the paranormal can get lost in translation!

    Spooky Problem Solving We turn to our trusty Take a Break Fate and Fortune for some spine-chilling problem-solving. The spirits are restless, and so are our listeners—let’s see what mysteries we can unravel today!

    Theatre Royal Drury Lane and Black Eyed Girl The ever-spooky Sue Lardner sends in another MP3, this time about the haunted Theatre Royal Drury Lane—prepare for some ghostly gossip! Then, we dive into an article sent by Shaun Kynaston from the Birmingham Mail about the infamous Black Eyed Girl of Cannock Chase. I even chat with Lee Brickley, who’s practically “bricking” it over these paranormal sightings!

    Maisie Adam Part Two It’s time for Part Two of my chat with the brilliant comedian Maisie Adam. If you thought the first part was spooky, just wait until you hear what’s in store this time!

    Spooky Holidays and a Spa Day Finale We finish off with another chilling article from Take a Break Fate and Fortune about going on a spooky holiday—because who doesn’t want to mix sun, sea, and spirits? Finally, a bit of talk about the spa before we wrap things up.

  • Season 7 - Episode 19
    Oct 18 2024

    Hello, my spectral spectators! Clinton here, ready to take you on another journey into the unknown with Episode 19 of our Paranormal Podcast.

    From Waverley Station to Edinburgh’s Comedy Haunts We kick off this week’s episode at Waverley Station as I head to the Edinburgh Comedy Festival. Imagine the mist rolling in, the faint sound of bagpipes echoing through the air—truly a mystical start to our Scottish adventure.


    Comedy Courtyard Spirits Next, I chat with the brilliant Josh Cluderay and Fred Macauley in the Pleasance Courtyard. Amidst the laughs, we uncover the spooky side of comedy—who knew spirits had such a good sense of humor?


    Linda’s Grumpy Spirits and Mental Health Musings Back in the studio, Linda talks about feeling a bit grumpy—probably due to the spirits around her! We delve into a short discussion about mental health and the mental health shows at the Edinburgh Festival. It's important to keep our spirits up, even when the ghostly ones try to bring us down.


    Ghosts, Directors, and Greystoke Castle We then take a detour to talk about a Mexican director’s ghostly experience in Aberdeen—what a story! And before we move on, we throw ahead to my next spooky stay at Greystoke Castle. It’s bound to be a night full of eerie encounters!


    Wedding Planning and Celeb Dating Next up, we dive into an article from Take A Break about wedding planning—because even in the paranormal world, love is complicated! Linda shares her thoughts on dating celebs, and we find out that love really might be blind... even to the supernatural.


    Maisie Adam’s Spooky Encounter Then, we have the first part of my interview with the brilliant comedian Maisie Adam. She shares a spine-tingling encounter that will make your hair stand on end. Trust me, you won’t want to miss this one!


    Magritte and Eternal Friendships Afterward, we read an email from Toni Flanders about Magritte and his famous painting “The Son Of Man.” You’ll want to check out the photo see over at www.patreon.com/clintonbaptiste. Then, we chat with Toni Flanders on Zoom to dig deeper into this mysterious story.


    Closing Thoughts We wrap up with a couple more problems—spiritual ones, of course—and say our goodbyes with a touch of Glowe’s fabulous music.


    Stay spooky

  • Season 7 - Episode 18
    Oct 11 2024

    Hello, my spectral spectators! Clinton Baptiste here, bringing you another episode packed with chills, thrills, and plenty of spiritual shenanigans.


    From Whitley Bay This week, we're coming to you live from Whitley Bay! And let me tell you, there's definitely a spirit in the machine...the card machines have gone down at the venue! Technology, eh? Always something spooky going on behind the scenes.


    Stage Madness I eventually make it out on stage, only to be greeted by a woman shouting, "Get 'em off!" What is this, the Chippendales? I'm a serious spiritual healer, love, not some cabaret act!


    Flying High and Clapping on Landing We kick things off with a chat about flying—there’s something so spiritual about soaring through the skies. Linda talks about people clapping when the plane lands, and I share my own flying nightmare: an EasyJet flight that needed a jump start. Hearing the pilot announce that... I nearly lost my spiritual composure!


    Ghostly Tales and Strange Happenings Next, we dive into some eerie tales:

    • Greg Perkin makes an appearance as "Thomas of Todmorden," sharing a peculiar story about his wife eating Pickled Onion Monster Munch before bed. We play a little clip of that.
    • Jonathan Anstee sends in an email about a ghost in his kitchen one night. We play out his MP3 and discuss the paranormal activity.
    • Then, I read out an article by JacquieAnn Taylor from Fate and Fortune. Turns out I went to school with her! She runs the “Memories of Our School” page on Facebook. We try to reach out, but after being turned down, it felt like a lesson in humility—don’t assume everyone’s eager to reconnect. And Linda, take those spiritual stories seriously!


    Spiritual Problems and Witches We delve into problems from Take A Break Fate and Fortune, including one about a witch who found a home. We also discuss a dead dad walking someone down the aisle, which leads to a deeper conversation about the nature of heaven and spirituality.


    Archie Levy’s Strange Tale I then tee up an interview with Archie Levy from Sundown Studios. Archie shares a strange story which will surely make you sh*t your pants. Pics on www.patreon.com/clintonbaptiste


    Anyway….Stay spooky, my friends.

    Episode 17: Birmingham, Spooky Surprises, and Cheeky Tales


    Live from Birmingham Town Hall We kick things off from the grand Birmingham Town Hall, where hundreds of people have gathered to see yours truly. Wish me luck—I'll need all the spiritual energy I can muster for this crowd!


    A Birthday Surprise for Linda This week, it's a special Linda Pollock birthday edition! 🎉 We planned a surprise party for Linda, and you get to hear all the behind-the-scenes action—from the preparations at my house to the big reveal at the venue. Linda joins us to share her thoughts on the surprise—did she love it, or was she secretly hoping for a séance instead?


    Clinton's Crisis of Confidence I also open up about feeling like I've lost my touch—especially after the whole Bernadette solicitor situation. People aren't getting back to me, and my stories just don’t seem to have the same resonance. Am I getting boring? But just when you think things are going downhill, we turn to the emails...


    Cheeky Emails and Strange Stories We dive into some of the most bizarre emails yet:

    • Fight.pass1974 claims to have touched willies with me at a gig. Oh, the things people remember!
    • Michelle Rayner AKA Precious shares a video of herself blowing off—seriously, no more fart stories, please!
    • A tale about the Queen Mum’s face on a dog, which somehow leads us into a chat about Will Young and Tom Daley. Spooky or just odd? You decide.


    Kate Hodges, Tarot Tales, and Spooky Sips We mention Kate Hodges and her D-Day veterans gig, where Camilla Parker Bowles praised "Rabbit." Then, we delve into Tarot cards and a wild Ian McShane story from Susan Lardner.

    We also explore the article "Anyone For a Brew," which mirrors last week's haunted caravan tale—are they linked? And finally, Barry from Watford shares his summer BBQ mishap.

    Sep 27 2024

    Hello, my spectral spectators! Clinton Baptiste here, bringing you another spine-tingling episode of the Paranormal Podcast.


    Live from Basingstoke This week, I'm coming to you live from the vibrant town of Basingstoke. The atmosphere is buzzing, and I’m ready to dive into some supernatural shenanigans. Wish me luck!


    Smelly Pubs and British Pub Culture We kick things off with Linda, who brings up the charming topic of smelly pubs. This leads us into a nostalgic chat about the great British pub—how I love them, and how they may have contributed to my less-than-stellar A-level results. But who needs A-levels when you’ve got spirits (both kinds) in your life, right?


    Danny Robins and Deadly Visions We then have a bit of a natter about the brilliant Danny Robins, whose work in the paranormal world continues to fascinate us. This smoothly transitions into a chilling story from Take a Break called "Deadly Visions," about a lady in a funeral parlour. It’s a tale that will make your skin crawl and have you questioning what lies beyond the veil.


    Barry Dodds and Paranormal Problems Next up, we’re thrilled to introduce Barry Dodds, who joins us for an interview full of laughs and ghostly insights. Barry’s got some cracking stories to share, and we have a good old chat about all things spooky.

    We then dive into a series of peculiar problems from Take A Break Fate and Fortune. Whether it’s ghosts in the attic or mysterious fortunes, we’ve got it covered with our signature blend of humor and paranormal wisdom.


    Finale and Thanks As always, we round things off with Glowe’s beautiful track, "Little Bird," to soothe your spirit as we part ways for another week.

    With heartfelt thanks to Katrine Boyle, Barry Dodds, Sally Ann-Hayward, Barry from Watford, and of course, Glowe for providing this glorious music.


    Stay spooky, my friends.

    Episode 15: Middleton Mysteries, Daft Advice, and Ghostly Tales


    Live from Middleton, Lancashire This week, we're broadcasting from the bustling theatre in Middleton, Lancashire. There's a packed house tonight—wish me luck!


    Daft Veterinary Advice and Miracle the Dog We kick off with Linda sharing some daft veterinary advice, followed by my own tales about my beloved dog, Miracle. In case you’ve forgotten his name, there it is!


    Recipes and Spooky Stories Next, we dive into a recipe from Anne Bristoe, and then chat about the ever-intriguing Danny Robins. We delve into Take a Break for some dream premonitions and share more stories from our listeners.


    Dreams and Unusual Emails Linda and I discuss our own dreams, with insights from Kate Jackson. Then, we tackle some rather unusual emails—a cheeky one about the size of some bloke’s knob from Lady Kay, and another from Ariane Young and her mum, Caroline.


    Ghost Stories and Orbs We play out Ari Young and her mum’s ghost story, followed by another eerie tale about being followed, courtesy of Take a Break Fate and Fortune. This leads to a discussion about orbs and dust in houses—are they supernatural or just household nuisances?


    Problem Page Linda and I address a variety of problems from the problem page, offering our unique blend of spooky advice.


    Anna McGuinness at Greystoke We then share another haunting instalment from Anna McGuinness at Greystoke Castle. Her stories never fail to send shivers down the spine.


    Ruth’s Blind Date And finally, Ruth pays a visit to my house, all dressed up for a blind date with a bloke she met on Bumble. She’s dolled up in pleather and holding a whip! Things get a bit out of hand, and I end up throwing her out after she tries to nibble my ear. Oh, the things we go through!


    Until next week, my friends.

    Stay spooky.
