PUTTING THE EVIL INTO MEDIEVAL, THEY COULDN'T SPELL IN THEM DAYS...

Medieval villagers mutilated the dead to stop them rising, study finds. Archaeological research may represent first scientific evidence of English practices attempting to protect the living from the dead. A study by archaeologists has revealed certain people in medieval Yorkshire were so afraid of the dead they chopped, smashed and burned their skeletons to make sure they stayed in their graves. The research published by Historic England and the University of Southampton may represent the first scientific evidence in England of attempts to prevent the dead from walking and harming the living – still common in folklore in many parts of the world.

THE RISE OF THE DEMON AND THE RISE OF D BROWN: A SCARE FOR ALL SEASONS

HALF-MAN, HALF OWL? OR JUST IRRITABLE OWL SYNDROME? ENGLISH FOLKLORE AT ITS BEST!

Phantom dogs, spring-heeled demons and a half-man, half-owl hybrid - these are just some of the strange and mythical creatures from English folklore that have inspired writers for centuries. It was while novelist Sarah Perry was driving through Essex with her husband that she first heard the story of giant serpent, with teeth "very white and sharp".

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE GHOST HUNTING EQUIPMENT THAT PROVES GHOSTS ARE REAL!!

FACT: REAL GHOST 

The most authentic piece of ghost hunting equipment was developed and patented 54 years ago. Thousands of ghost pictures hit social media on a monthly basis and they are laughed at, scorned at, scoffed and basically ridiculed by expert after expert BUT the ones that feature this awesome piece of ghost hunting equipment are not laughed, scorned and scoffed at they are taken seriously and have made self-styled experts to issue humble grovelling apologies to the photographer. It has now become an essential piece of kit for the ghost hunter but it came from modest humble beginnings. 

SOLVED?? THE QUESTION THAT HAS BAFFLED GHOST HUNTERS FOR YEARS!!

In a recent poll on the Haunted Magazine facebook chat page it came to be that a ghost hunter's favourite biscuit was a Jaffa Cake, but that was not the end of the discussion, a lot of paranormal peeps were up in arms saying that the Jaffa was not a biscuit, it is a cake as the name suggests, it was literally all out war on the page. So in true investigative journalistic style we dug a hole in a haunted location and looked into it.

POSSESSION IS NINE TENTHS OF THE LAW, THE CATHOLIC LAW

"That is a possessed woman there," says Fr Vincenzo Taraborelli as he points up to an 18th Century fresco in his Roman church. "They're holding her with her mouth open. She has little devils coming out of her body. She's being freed."

WE ARE NOT WORTHY!! OR ARE WE?

Here at Haunted Magazine, we take ghost hunting and the paranormal very extremely bloody seriously, I hope it shows in how we conduct ourselves in the paranormal circus?

So, we want to find out how much are ghost hunters worth, now we've all heard the saying YOU ARE WORTH YOUR WEIGHT IN GOLD yes? Which means that if you're a skinny fella then you're not really worth that much, but if you're more robust and solid then there's a decent chance that you're going to be worth more in gold than johnny-thin-fella.

WE NEED THE TOOTH, THE WHOLE TOOTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TOOTH

**ALERT: NON PARANORMAL STORY FOLLOWS** ...But it is still interesting and something to get your teeth into...

She’s almost as famous as Father Christmas and the Easter bunny, but just how old is the tooth fairy ritual and why did pillows become the hiding place of choice? Plus survey reveals that while half of the UK currently leaves a shiny £1 coin per tooth, more than 20% of British kids are getting between £2 and £5 per tooth – that’s up to around £100 per child by the time they’ve lost all of their baby teeth!
