      S02 - Ep04 - Bleakmore: A Gothic Tale (Part 2) by Emma Hudairi
      Feb 20 2026
      A guest at a manor house bears witness terrible events unfolding again and again...

      “The swell of the waves was much higher now and I could hear them crashing against the cliffs, white spray occasionally shooting high over the cliff top. The shrubs in the garden swayed in the wind. The scene was almost unrecognisable as the location of my walk earlier in the day. My eyes glanced to the left along the path that I had used. A sudden flash of lightning highlighted the way and that’s when I first saw her…”

      Hello and welcome, dear listeners, to Haunted UK Fiction – a sister podcast to The Haunted UK which features original flash fiction, short stories, and novellas with paranormal themes. All stories you will hear were written by a collection of talented writers, authors, and storytellers, both independent and professional.

      In today’s episode we’ll be reading the second and final part of Bleakmore: A Gothic Tale which was sent in to us by Emma Hudairi. Emma has always had a fascination for ghost stories and supernatural tales, from hiding under the covers as a child reading Aidan Chambers library books, to hiding behind cushions as an adult watching paranormal investigations and listening to podcasts. Bleakmore: A Gothic Tale, is Emma’s tribute to some of the great gothic horror tales of the past and was written as a birthday gift for her daughter, Emily, during the first lockdown of the pandemic - a dark and uncertain time where many families found themselves divided by distance with no certainty of when they might be reunited. For Emma this was a welcome creative release and for her daughter it was great surprise and a personal connection despite the miles.

      Though the places in the story are entirely made up, they are based on places in Yorkshire - a beautiful part of the country where stunning coastline, historic buildings and sometimes desolate landscapes lend themselves well to a fertile imagination and the possibilities of spooky goings on.

      We truly hope you enjoy this atmospheric tale. If you would like to hear more from Emma Hudairi, stay tuned to the Haunted UK Fiction podcast as she is currently working on a modern short story that blends the everyday mundane with the supernatural.

      If you have an original story that would send a chill down our spines, and you would like to submit it for review, simply send it in to hauntedukfiction@hotmail.com

      Until next time, stay safe, and take care.

      Conclusion of this episoded to be released Feb 25th 7am BST

      A guest at a manor house bears witness terrible events unfolding again and again...

      “There, stood by the bannister and staring down at me with an intensity I found hard to bear, was a man, smartly dressed, with thick black hair and black side whiskers. What I noticed most were his angular features and prominent cheekbones. I stood there, frozen to the spot and meeting his cold stare for what seemed like an eternity before I was finally able to tear my eyes away and when I glanced back only several seconds later, he was gone…”

      S02 Flash Fiction Friday 01 - The Wedding Dress by Melissa West (a voyage through time)
      Feb 13 2026
      From the moment of its creation, a wedding dress bears silent witness to decades of human lives.

      “The box moved again. Had it been years already? This time, a man was staring back at me. I recognized him from the wedding. His eyes looked sad. I felt his tears fall and soak into my satin. I could feel his heavy heart. He put the lid back on the box and I felt myself being carried away…”
