Haunted Magazine Issue 15 - Print Edition ORDER NOW!

Towards the end of last year we released issue 15 of Haunted Magazine in its usual free digital format. After a few people enquired about a print version, we toyed with the idea of printing a small limited edition print run and plans were put in place.

As you can tell from our front cover, we featured a piece of paranormal equipment on there called the GhostArk, a new gadget that was going to take the paranormal world by storm, we also ran a 4 page feature on it in the magazine, interviewing the man who invented it, Massimo Rossi.

THE BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN ... AGAIN

You know when you think you have unfinished business with something and you feel the need to do something about it? 

This is how we feel about going back to The Village, an historic building over 200 years old with a varied and interesting history. We brought an EXCLUSIVE live Facebook Ghost Hunt a few week backs, attracting 10,000 viewers on the night and from a paranormal point of view it was a very active night.

HauntedLIVE are a team of 7 ghost hunters, we're not scientists, we're not experts, we're mates with an interest in the paranormal, we get scared and spooked just as much as everyone else (ahem - some more than others), we don't go on social media bigging ourselves up to the next best thing, what we do is that we actually have a laugh, have some fun and go to locations and hunt for ghosts.

STUBBLE & THE SUPERNATURAL

BEARDED GHOST HUNTERS HELP YOU LIVE LONGER!!

If you were in search of a new, disease-fighting antibiotic, where might you start? In a swamp? A remote island? Well, how about combing beards?

Jason Wall, HauntedLIVE

On the BBC show Trust Me I'm a Doctor they do experiments which sometimes throw up genuinely new science. In a previous series, for example, they discovered you can cut the calories in pasta by cooking, cooling and then reheating it.

That was a very pleasing result. But their most recent discovery, finding bacteria which appear to be producing a novel form of antibiotic, feels altogether more significant. What was particularly delightful was that they were found growing in someone's beard.

#HauntedLIVE - The Village, Mansfield 17-01-16

THE BOYS "WERE" BACK IN TOWN.... 
(but if you missed it don't worry)

The #HauntedLIVE team were amazed by Sunday night's HauntedLIVE Ghost Hunt. The Village Mansfield didn't let us down, proving once again that this location is a fantastic place to investigate.

So much happened, it was hard to keep track of everything, as soon as we walked in there was taps, footsteps, bangs, shadows, things being thrown, voices and so much more.

Didn't catch it? Here's the footage from the event. 
(spoiler alert: keep a look out for the pulsating torch AND especially keep your ears peeled around 45 minutes into the first video, it's all very intriguing)

As ever we'd appreciate your comments and thoughts.

Issue 14 - The Enfield Haunting

38 years ago I was but a mere young boy, out on my space hopper at the weekends, thinking I was the Fonz from Happy Days, listening to Showaddywaddy and The Bay City Rollers and for many years I thought that the biggest thing to happen in 1977 was the death of Elvis Presley. How wrong was I?

We have always been an ever changing, ever growing magazine, the quality features and quality design will always be an essential part of the magazine but we’re not afraid to rip up our rulebook and start over again and a little bit of dusting away the cobwebs never does anyone no harm (apart from the spiders).
