This is season 2 of the Haunted UK Podcast. In this season we're going to cast our net far and wide to tell stories of UFO's, Unsolved Mysteries, Strange Creatures, Unexplained Disappearances , as well as further tales of Ghosts, Poltergeists and Haunted Locations. So, let's dive in.....
Imagine yourself on a lonely, dark road, lit only by the headlights of your car. You see a figure ahead, thumbing a lift. You know you shouldn't pull over and stop, but you do anyway. You lower the passenger window and ask if the figure needs a lift. The figure just nods and then gets in the back of your car. You ask your passenger where they would like to go......but they only point to the sign with a village name on it. You drive away, getting nervous by the lack of conversation. After a few minutes your attention is drawn to a junction. After you make the turn you look in the rear view mirror to ask what street your passenger lives on, only to find that they have disappeared.
No....you haven't entered the dimension of the Twilight Zone.....You've enter the world of The Phantom Hitchhiker.
Have you seen a ghost, witnessed poltergeist activity, had a strange, unexplained paranormal experience? Have you ever stayed in a haunted location, or experienced something frightening on a ghost tour. Ever better, do you live or work in a haunted house or building? Have you encountered or seen a UFO, heard a story about an unsolved disappearance or mystery, or have you been lucky enough to witness a strange, unknown creature? If you have, then your story could feature on Season 2's listener stories finale episode.

Simply type your story up and email it to [e-mail], that's [e-mail]. It's easy to do, and if you like, you can remain anonymous. Huge thanks in advance to you all.
Besides writing, recording, mixing and mastering this podcast, I also run a mixing and mastering studio called Pink Flamingo Music Productions. If you have a podcast or piece of music that you'd like mixing, mastering, or both, or if you'd like a piece of finished music written for a project that you're working on, then please email the studio with details of your enquiry to [e-mail]. That's [e-mail]. It's nowhere near as expensive as you'd think.

This Podcast was recorded at Pink Flamingo Music Productions Studio in Halesowen in the West Midlands, England.
