Spooky Isles

Spooky Isles is a long-running online magazine exploring the haunted history and folklore of Britain and Ireland.

Founded in 2011 by writer and editor David Saunderson, Spooky Isles has published thousands of articles covering ghost stories, dark history, folklore traditions, strange cases and classic horror culture. What began as a small passion project has grown into a respected independent platform with readers around the world.

We focus on well-researched storytelling, thoughtful discussion and the rich layers of history behind the legends. From medieval battlefields and ancient standing stones to seaside pubs and city streets, we explore the places where stories linger.

Alongside our website, we host a weekly podcast, run special features and now, once again, gather in person for seasonal social events inspired by the folklore calendar.

Spooky Isles is for the curious, the sceptical, the believers and anyone who enjoys a good strange tale told properly.
