The Hauntings of Elgin Barrett first launched as a podcast with Annie’s Oak in October 2020. The settings for the nine stories of the first season ranged from an abandoned Welsh hill farm to a Sheffield building site, from a converted pub in London’s East End to the courtyard of a Cambridge college.

The second season featured another desperate cast of characters including a sinister London fashionista, three young hooligans who face the ultimate test of nerve, and a woman who believes she is being followed from in front.

The stories are all told as dramatic monologues. Elgin drew on his long experience as a radio producer to record them with a team of top radio actors: Katie Cotterell, DeNica Fairman, Wayne Forester, Glen McCready, Neil McGarry, Charlotte Strevens and Joan Walker. Elgin also voiced five of the stories himself.

They have now been downloaded nearly 25,000 times. Season One made the last eight as both Outstanding Horror/Thriller and Best Ensemble Cast at the 2021 New Jersey Web Fest. The series was also one of The Podcasts of the Year 2021 at medium.com

The tales can still be downloaded wherever you get your podcasts. Alternatively, you can find links in the Season One and Season Two pages of this website.

They are also all available as a paperback and ebook on Amazon.
