The fog is thickening and the shadows are growing longer. The Fate, Luck & Karma crew returns to the rugged landscape of Bodmin Moor for the second half of our deep dive into the legendary Jamaica Inn.

In Part Two, Dean, Jay, and Theo continue their conversation with Paranormal Custodian Karin Beasant, moving beyond the Inn's granite walls to explore the strange phenomena that haunt the surrounding wilderness and the terrified guests who have sought refuge within.

In this episode, we dive into:

  • The Ghost in the Machine: Reports of a phantom vehicle that haunts the lonely moorland roads. What happens when a haunted car appears out of the mist, and where is it heading?
  • Lights Over the Moor: We discuss the unexplained aerial phenomena and strange lights in the sky that have baffled locals and visitors for generations.
  • The Soldier’s Retreat: A story of a guest so unnerved by the atmosphere inside the Inn that he refused to sleep in his room, choosing instead to spend the night huddled in his car.
  • Freddie Flintoff’s Fright: We revisit the time the cricketing legend and TV star was so spooked by the Inn’s reputation that he forced a co-star to sleep on his floor because he couldn't face the darkness alone.
  • A Bemused Spectator: Karin shares a fascinating account of a spirit in historical dress caught interacting with modern furniture, looking at living guests with as much confusion as they looked at him.
  • The Thin Veil: More firsthand accounts of the eerie, the unexplained, and the "much more" that makes Jamaica Inn a magnet for the paranormal.

Is it a trick of the light, a flare-up of the imagination, or are the moors truly alive with the spirits of the past?

Listen now and find out why some doors are better left locked at the Jamaica Inn.
