The Whispering Woods : Real Life Ghost & Paranormal Stories

The Gullah Geechee are descendants of West and Central Africans enslaved on the Sea Islands and coastal plantations. Isolated in these regions, they preserved a unique creole language and a rich spiritual folklore. For a long time, any ghostly apparition or sinister spirit in the Lowcountry was simply called a "haint," a term for haunt or ghost. But over time, people realised not all haints were the same. Gullah lore eventually classified the evil spirits into two categories: plat-eyes and boo-hags.

In 1836, a cache of tiny coffins was discovered in a cave on Arthur’s Seat — each one carved, dressed, and buried like a miniature funeral. Were they witchcraft, mourning dolls, or something darker: a ritual burial for those denied their graves? And across the city lies another chamber carved in secret: a stone labyrinth beneath a suburban street, whose purpose no one has ever truly explained.

During the chaos of the Second World War, strange forces haunted the skies and not all of them were human. From sabotage in mid-air to creepy figures on the wings, these are the encounters with gremlins: the inhuman entities pilots feared more than enemy fire.

This is this week's main episode and not an extra.

In 1850, a respected minister’s home in Stratford, Connecticut became the centre of one of America’s most violent and well-documented poltergeist cases, marked by moving objects, disembodied voices, and attacks on a child. Witnessed by hundreds and reported nationwide, the case remains unresolved.
