I’ve been listening for a while and keep forgetting to leave a review. Love these histories and spooky explorations. Thanks Rob
I came across How Haunted last summer and although my podcasts are mainly historical non fiction I do enjoy listening to paranormal podcasts which cover history too. Rob’s were exactly that, his easy way of speaking as if he’s talking to the listener with a hint of fun is especially enjoyable. Although he obviously is interested in the paranormal he isn’t biased, he always remains skeptical and tries to debunk any claims or noises he’s heard on his investigations. A great listen, thank you!
Love the podcast. It is April 2026 so have a lot of episodes to cover. I’m currently living in Australia but originally from the North East myself. Shame I didn’t get to visit some of the places the episodes cover. Keep up the good work ☺️
Great history into each site, But the music start and finish is distracting and there’s far too many adds. When he goes live he needs a better Mike as the popping and noice make The audio very noisy
5* for enthusiasm.
And devotion to making the podcasts.
