Searching for the perfect, spine-chilling podcast to curl up to on All Hallows’ Eve? Or seeking an autumnal chillout and spooky soundscape to chill to?

BBC Sounds is filled with ghost stories, witches and the Uncanny for any Halloween vibe and here’s a few to get you started…

Chilling and paranormal podcasts

From chilling real-life ghost stories and spooky radio dramas to the journey of witchcraft, there are plenty of podcasts to keep you cosy under the blanket (or hiding under it). There are different levels of fear awaiting you so make sure to check the guidance before pressing play.

Do ghosts exist? Is the impossible possible? Are you Team Believer or Team Sceptic? From ghostly phantoms to UFOs, Danny Robins investigates real-life stories of paranormal encounters in Uncanny. The hit podcast is also available on BBC Two and iPlayer in a brand-new series.

The Witch has held a place firmly in our imagination for centuries – from whispered warnings in folklore to pop-culture driven heights. India Rakusen is on a journey to find out what it means to be a witch now as she meets modern witches, explores the magic of the land and the power of spells and takes part in rituals and sabbats.

Maybe you’re more in the mood for some horror/fiction The Lovecraft Investigations: The Haunter of the Dark is back with investigations into witchcraft, the occult and secret government operations. From H.P. Lovecraft.
