29. Return to the Haunted Poundstretcher

Weird in the Wade

As a celebration of two years of Weird in the Wade, Nat returns to the subject of her first ever episode: The Haunted Poundstretcher. The site is now a café and gym where Nat and her team of friends hold a ghost hunt overnight. They have access to the café, gym, attic and cellar space. They hear from staff and visitors who have experienced something uncanny in and outside of the building.

Nat also explores why the rumour that the ghost girl who haunts the site, died in a fire, might have a grain of truth to it.

Using a ghost hunting kit, and with advice from Parapsychologist and Uncanny sceptic Dr Ciarán O'Keefe, Nat embarks on her first ever ghost hunt.

Find out what scares and delights the ghost hunters on this special episode of Weird in the Wade.
