Haunted Magazine (2026)

The Book of HAUNTED: In The Beginning
1 In the beginning an idea for a fun, fresh, funky, cool, edgy & sexy paranormal magazine was created.
2 An empty page, started from scratch, darkness; but ideas were hovering.
3 And the editor-to-be said, “Let there be a funky and different front cover,” and there was. every issue.
4 The editor-to-be saw a draft copy of the front cover, and saw that the front cover was good.
5 He called the magazine "Haunted", and then it was evening, the first day was over.
6 And the editor-to-be said, “Let there be fun, fresh new features that are spooky and scary but are as entertaining as they are informative"
7 So there was fun, fresh features, like Where are they Buried, searching out the final resting places of our dearly departed celebrities, and Dead Funny, taking a lighter humorous look at the paranormal.
8 He called these "regular features, the backbone of Haunted, and then it was evening, the second day was over.
9 And the editor-to-be said "let's look at all aspects of the paranormal sector, the dark side, the spiritual side, the entertainment side, the scary side and other sides and faces that the paranormal industry throws up from time to time"
10 He started work on Haunted, the pilot issue, calling it Issue #0, and he stepped back and saw that it was good.
11 Then the editor-to-be said “Lets produce the the best paranormal magazine out there, not just in written word, but in design too, both needing each other. A magazine was forming, and it was so (good).
12 Features like The Paranormal Observer, and Paranormal TV Flashback were born, and the editor saw that is was good.
13 And then it was evening, the third day was over.
14 And the editor-to-be was no longer an editor-to-be, he was just the editor, plain and simple, a sign for the future, for many days and years to follow.
15 and so it went to print, nothing more could be done, this was it. Haunted was born, he waited for three days, the fourth day, the fifth day and the sixth day, until finally, on the seventh day it came back from the printers. AND SO IT CAME TO BE THAT ON OCTOBER 1ST 2009, A new and different type of paranormal magazine rose from the ground. For over two years HAUNTED ruled the world. well WHSmiths and a few other shops anyway.. 11 issues were printed and then the Devil appeared in the form of a rival magazine thinly guised as a dodgy export order and bled the magazine dry...

BUT, rising from the ashes, the dust, the dirt comes HAUNTED MAGAZINE, the freshest UK Paranormal/Horror digital magazine, available worldwide with no postage costs.. 13TH APRIL 2012. the day that HAUNTED came back.

👻COVER REVEAL: HAUNTED MAGAZINE ISSUE 50, PART TWO👻

Here it is. Long Shadows, Legends & Legacies, the second part of our Issue 50 trilogy, is now available to order.

And we’ve filled this one with ghosts, witches, black magic, phantom animals, cursed clocks, haunted buildings, strange histories, uncanny food, spectral statistics and enough folklore to make you suspicious of every old lane, pub, priory and badly lit staircase in Britain.

Inside, we remember the man behind the ghosts with M.R. James, step inside the Priory at Burford, descend into Simon Marsden’s extraordinary Darkroom of the Dead, count Britain’s hauntings with How Many Ghosts Does It Take to Change a Lightbulb?, explore The Bad Man of Buckfastleigh, uncover the disturbing legacy of the Malleus Maleficarum, and travel aboard the wonderfully cheerful 11:35 to Eternity.

There are also phantom hares, British big cats, Scottish werewolves, the extraordinary story of Jerry Seavey aka The Candyman, the Ghosts of November, the life, disappearance, experiences and reappearance of The Angel Lady, plus superstition, psychics, Catholic horror, strange encounters and quite a lot more things that really need to be discussed and debated in the paranormal world.

Basically, it’s 108 pages [yes, 8 more than normal] of us asking, “Well, that’s odd…” and then immediately poking it with a stick. Which we love to do.

What a lovely, slightly surreal moment.

Last week, at the GPN ParaMeet Awards, Haunted Magazine was named Top Magazine.

Now, we do not think any of us gets involved in this wonderfully bizarre hobby/passion for trophies, titles or a shelf full of shiny things. We do what we do because we are curious. Regardless of our age, experience, status, belief or fashion sense, we all love the stories, the history, the people, the strange places, the late-night pizza [with or without pineapple], the research, the endless questions, the laughter, the ‘wtf’ moments, and, yes, the occasional bit of absolute paranormal nonsense and mischief.

Although every now & then, it is lovely to be recognised. However, this award is not really “ours”. It belongs to everyone who has ever written a word for Haunted Magazine, advertised with us, stocked us, sold us, shared a post, picked up a copy, subscribed, supported us, argued with us, laughed with us, recommended us to someone else, or simply taken an interest in what we do.

Most of all, it belongs to every single reader who has allowed us to keep turning up, issue after issue, with our strange little mixture of ghosts, folklore, paranormal, supernatural, spooky weirdness, humour and curiosity.

A magazine is just paper and ink without people.

So, from the bottom of our slightly haunted hearts, thank you.

This one is for all of us. 🖤👻

UPDATE After a 13-day road trip from our printers in Wales, including 10 days trapped in DHL hell, I’m happy to say that UK distributor stock has arrived in Kent. All single-issue orders and new & existing subscriptions will now be dispatched.

Thank you so much for your patience, kindness and understanding while we’ve been chasing boxes around like mildly unhinged missing magazine sleuths with a growing suspicion that DHL may have opened a portal.

HAUNTED MAGAZINE ISSUE 50: UPDATE

A quick update for everyone who has ordered a copy of Haunted Magazine Issue 50, Part One directly from us.

We are really sorry, but there has been an unexpected delay in delivering our magazine stock to our UK distributor. The magazines have been with DHL UK since 29th May and, for reasons known only to themselves and the delivery goblins, they currently appear to be stuck in a DHL facility rather than where they need to be.

To be clear, Haunted Magazine Issue 50, Part One has arrived in selected shops across the UK, and stock has also reached our distributors in the USA and Australia. The issue is very much out there in the wild, rattling shelves and frightening respectable retail displays. The problem is specifically with the delivery of the stock we need so that we can post copies to those who have ordered directly from us.

As you can imagine, we are frustrated, angry, hurt and upset. Not just because it is inconvenient for readers, ourselves and everyone connected to Haunted Magazine, but because small businesses and independent publishers already have to fight hard to make things happen. Every print run, every delivery, every order and every reader matters. There is no big machine behind us quietly absorbing the knock. It is us, our time, our money, our energy and our hearts in every issue. So yes, this one hurts.

Whilst we are currently doing that very British thing of remaining polite while internally screaming into a haunted cushion, please know that we are constantly chasing this, pushing for answers, and doing everything we can to get it sorted as quickly as possible.

As soon as the magazines reach our distributor, they can get orders packed and posted out to everyone who has been waiting so patiently. Fingers crossed, all being well, everyone who has ordered Issue 50, Part One directly from us, should receive their copy next week.

In the meantime, if anyone who has ordered would like a digital copy to read while they wait, please drop us a message, and we will whizz it across to you.

Thank you sincerely for your patience, support, and understanding. We are genuinely sorry for the delay. This is not a message that we wanted to post, but we are on it, chasing it, and rattling every possible chain.

Paul & Andy
Haunted Magazine,

Please feel free to comment.

Haunted Magazine Issue 50, Part One, officially crawls out of the crypt on June 1st, then shuffles into UK shops from June 2nd, while stocks last, obviously, because nothing says “paranormal milestone” quite like panic-buying and poltergeist flying off the shelf anxiety syndrome.

Order your copy now at hauntedmag.com and make sure you don’t miss it, regret it, or have to explain to your future self why you let a perfectly good haunted landmark drift past like a Victorian lady in a nightie while you just stood there doing absolutely nothing.

Please repost, share, comment, shout it from the attic, whisper it into a Ouija board, tell your nan, tell your postman, tell that sceptical mate who thinks every ghost is “probably the pipes”, despite them seeing the spirit of a young girl wearing a bonnet & humming Greensleeves stood next to it.

Spread the paranormal word: Haunted Magazine Issue 50, Part One, is HERE.

You can order now at hauntedmag.com

is everyone who makes this strange little beast possible: readers, writers, advertisers, stockists, distributors, paranormal lovers, believers, sceptics, and those glorious inbetweeners currently standing in the hallway saying, “I don’t believe in ghosts, but...”

AND YES, WE SAID “PART ONE”.

All will be revealed…

Eventually.

Probably.

Maybe bring snacks while you wait.

- BE PARANORMAL!!!
