This Halloween, The Dark History Podcast takes you inside one of the most terrifying true hauntings in British history — the Black Monk of Pontefract. In the 1960s, the Pritchard family’s ordinary council house at 30 East Drive became the site of violent paranormal attacks that defied explanation. Furniture moved on its own. Objects flew across rooms. And a dark, hooded figure watched silently from the shadows.

Was the infamous Pontefract poltergeist the restless spirit of a medieval monk, condemned and buried beneath the estate? Or something far darker — a demonic force feeding on fear?

Join Rob for this chilling Halloween special as we uncover the history, the eyewitness accounts, and the terrifying legacy of 30 East Drive — the house that still draws ghost hunters and sceptics alike.

If you enjoy real hauntings, historical mysteries, and the darker side of British folklore, this is one episode you won’t want to miss.
