Charlie Hall: Ghosts, Druids, and Synchronicities

Charlie Hall joins The Mystical Underground to share how a lifetime of psychic sensitivity, haunted places, and uncanny synchronicities have shaped her path as a medium, musician, and rising paranormal filmmaker. ​ Episode focus The conversation traces Charlie’s journey from a “spooky child” in Northern Ireland who saw spirits, predicted events, and grew up amid ghostly household phenomena, to a working medium who now uses her abilities on paranormal investigations across the UK. ​ She talks about her father, musician and druid Clive Culbertson, how Druidic ritual and stone circles deepened her connection to earth energies, and how music, writing, and film became creative outlets for those experiences. ​ Spirit, death, and other realms Charlie describes early encounters with apparitions, poltergeist-like activity, and a translucent crystal‑like being that appeared during meditation, including the physical sensations that convinced her these were not “just imagination.” ​ She explains her current view of mediumship: consciousness and “spirit” as an energetic field where past, present, and future all coexist, and mediums tap into points in that field rather than simply talking to the dead in a traditional sense. Haunted locations and the Black Nun One highlight is Bonamargy Friary in Ballycastle, a ruined 16th‑century Franciscan site where Charlie feels pursued by unseen presences, hears children, and becomes fascinated with the legend of Julie McQuillen, the prophetic “Black Nun.” She recounts local lore about McQuillen’s grave, eerie modern experiences on the grounds with her druid father, and research linking the friary to nearby Dunluce Castle—a place that felt uncannily familiar to her from childhood. ​ Synchronicity, angels, and dream guidance Synchronicities and repeating number patterns—especially 1‑1‑1—become a personal navigation system for Charlie, culminating in the day she asks angels for a sign and literally finds a small silver angel charm at her feet. ​ She shares how following those signs and vivid “night visions” has led to songs, published horror fiction, and major life turns, echoing the show’s ongoing exploration of mind‑blowing synchronicities and creative inspiration from dreams. New projects and where to find her Charlie talks about writing for Haunted Magazine as a brand ambassador, contributing features on the paranormal and horror, and her expanding work in indie film as a sound recordist, assistant director, and on‑screen commentator. She previews her role in the upcoming paranormal TV series “Haunt Me If You Can,” joining horror director Dean of the Dead, comedian Mike Fielding of The Mighty Boosh, and explorer Titchy Tiff to test a skeptic’s views at haunted sites, and shares where listeners can follow her as “HauntedCharlieHall” across social platforms.
