“Amidst the hundreds upon hundreds of pumpkins of all shapes and sizes that lay in that field, there sat one unique and peculiar, and rather large misshapen one. Creepily, it displayed all of Eugene’s exact same facial features, right down to his large set of slowly blinking, bloodshot eyes, bulbous, crooked nose, as well as his quivering, signature devious grin…”

“You’ve run out of time. But if you let me have your watch for just a moment, I can give you some back…”

This is Haunted UK Fiction, a sister podcast to Haunted UK featuring original stories of the supernatural, the monstrous, and the unknown.

In this episode, we present Buying Time, a story hailing from the strange town of Willerby. We stumbled upon the Willerby website some time ago, where we found a collection of stories about the town’s inhabitants. We were able to reach the webmaster, who granted permission to share these stories after we agreed to a number of bizarre conditions… which shall remain unspoken.

You can find over 50 more stories from the village of Willerby here: https://www.welcometowillerby.co.uk

“I must be careful in the streets tonight, for harsh, intrusive orange lights can unmask many a secret from the shadows, and lay bare silent plans of death for others to see. The prying eyes of fools and victims must neither see nor hear my tread…”

This is Haunted UK Fiction, original stories of the supernatural, the monstrous, and the unknown. This episode features a deeply unsettling, haunting story titled The Cats Are Crying by Matt Havenhand.

About the Author:

Matt lives with his fabulous family in Yorkshire on the coast. His influences include Thomas Harris, Steven King, James Herbert, Clive Barker and Mary Shelley. He has had a piece published in America in the past. He enjoys exploring the darker side of human behaviour in fiction, as this is far more fascinating. He also enjoys psychological horror and true crime.

“It was only when he glanced at the waiting cars that Kian noticed something wasn’t right. Apart from the van’s juddering engine, none of the other cars were idling. There was no exhaust smoke tailing in the air. No sound of radios or movement. No drivers on their feet moaning…”

The Swaying Woman of Skelton Wharf by Max T. Storey

27 by Alis Griffiths

Grandpa’s Clock by Jed Vesper

About the Author:

Hailing from the UK, Mark Robinson writes horror, crime and speculative thrillers and hosts the Behind the Screams indie writer Q&A on Substack. With over thirty short stories published and five novellas slowly going out of print, Mark’s most recent work is Doll Parts, released in early 2026 from RDG Books Press.

The inspiration for Death Toll came to Mark whilst sitting by the pool on holiday, having just drove through the M6 Toll plaza in the early hours on the way to the airport and thinking how spooky the place was. He wanted to do something with ghosts, urban legends and the classic slasher trope, and the setting of a Toll plaza at night seemed to bring all those ideas together.

“Her scream made him drop his phone. One hand went to her mouth while the other pointed to the toll booth at the window. Ben spun, catching his elbow on the door. A spark zipped up his forearm. The operator in the booth was dead…”

Freddie by Ruth Saberton

It Shows Up When It’s Needed by Robert McDermott,

About the Author:

Emma has always had a fascination with ghost stories and supernatural tales, from hiding under the covers as a child reading Aidan Chambers library books, to hiding behind cushions as an adult watching paranormal investigations and listening to podcasts. Some of her writing is inspired by Yorkshire, a place she knows well, where stunning coastline, historic buildings and sometimes desolate landscapes lend themselves perfectly to a fertile imagination and the possibilities of spooky goings on.
