Podcast Episode 08: Poltergeists, a Grey Lady and a Phantom Priest | The Haunting of Willington Mill House

Episode contents

The haunting of the mill house at Willington Dene, near Wallsend, Newcastle upon Tyne was one of the country’s most famous hauntings in the early 19th century. It was also one of the most well documented, with a diary being kept of many of the occurrences, as well as witness statements. It has also been subject to wild speculation, especially in recent years.

Unlike previous episodes, Episode 8 concentrates on the one story rather than multiple short stories, and examines the known history and the actual accounts of the haunting rather than the embellished stories that have been presented in recent decades. This story is usually called ‘The Willington Mill Haunting’ or ‘The Willington Mill Poltergeist’ – but the original stories were from the HOUSE (built in 1800) which was built before the mill (opened in 1806), NOT the mill itself. In this episode we’ll look to see how the mill itself gained its reputation.
