Becca’s love for the paranormal goes back to her childhood. She talked about growing up in a haunted house, an experience that sparked her fascination with the supernatural. As a child of the 90s, she was drawn to shows like *Goosebumps* and *Are You Afraid of the Dark?*, which only fueled her spooky interests. But it wasn’t until the pandemic hit in 2020 that Becca decided to turn her passion into a podcast. Stuck at home, teaching theater and dance online, she needed a creative outlet that wasn’t tied to her work in the arts. That’s when *The West London Witch* was born.
Becca wanted to create a space where people could share their paranormal experiences—stories that often don’t have a platform elsewhere. And it all began with her own family’s tale of living in a haunted house. That full-circle moment, combined with the organic growth of the podcast, has shaped *The West London Witch* into what it is today: a home for haunted history, heartwarming tales, and everything in between.
### **Favorite Episodes and Haunting Tales**
With over 75 episodes, Becca has no shortage of favorite stories to share. We talked about some of the most memorable ones, like the tale from *137 Market Street West*. This story, from season one, follows a group of college students who move into what they think is their dream party house—only to experience terrifying hauntings that lead them to flee before the school year ends. The episode is a perfect example of the kind of detailed, immersive storytelling Becca loves.
Another highlight from the show is the haunted ship episodes, like *The Queen Mary* and *The Hornet*. As a fellow fan of haunted ships (I mean, I got married on the Queen Mary!), I totally vibed with Becca’s enthusiasm for these stories. What makes *The West London Witch* unique is its focus on creating a full narrative arc with every episode. Each story is structured to give listeners that satisfying beginning, middle, and end, much like reading a great short story.
