What lies beneath Redditch’s Kingfisher Centre?

Long before the modern town centre existed, this land was home to the Independent Congregational Church — and its graveyard. Although official records state the graves were moved, unsettling stories have continued for decades.

This episode presents a short version of the history and ghost stories connected to this location, including reports of shadowy figures, unexplained disturbances, and a chilling account involving urns removed in the dead of night.

To experience the full stories, you can join the Redditch Ghost Walk, organised by Clem Dallaway of Ghost Tales by the Fireside.

A book of Redditch ghost stories is also currently in progress.

If you enjoy local history, please consider supporting the Redditch Local History Museum, a volunteer-run charity dedicated to preserving the town’s heritage.

The Alexandra Theatre in Birmingham — known simply as The Alex — is more than a place of entertainment. Behind the curtains lies over a century of history, tragedy, and unexplained events.

In this episode, we explore: • The Lyceum Theatre and the birth of the Alexandra

• Pantomime, repertory, and the Art Deco rebuild

• Leon Salberg and the theatre’s golden age

• Wartime performances and modern reinvention

We then examine decades of reported paranormal activity, including ghostly figures in the auditorium, footsteps on an empty stage, unexplained music, and sightings of long-deceased staff who may still be keeping watch over the theatre.

A calm, documentary-style account of one of Birmingham’s most haunted theatres.

Harvington Hall stands quietly in the Worcestershire countryside, but behind its red brick walls lies a history shaped by secrecy, persecution, and legend.

In this episode of Ghost Tales by the Fireside, we explore the story of Harvington Hall — from its medieval origins and Elizabethan transformation to its remarkable priest holes and the folklore that still clings to its grounds.

We delve into the legend of the Wild Hunt, the tragic tale of Mistress Hicks, and modern reports of unexplained experiences that suggest Harvington is a place where history has never fully settled.

A calm, atmospheric journey through one of England’s most intriguing historic sites.
