Phantom Frequencies Lands Interview with Paranormal Royalty

Aug 19, 2026

Radio Northumberland’s paranormal show and podcast Phantom Frequencies has secured a very special interview with a name synonymous with the world of ghost hunting: Chris McKinnell, grandson of legendary paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren.

The latest edition of Phantom Frequencies features an exclusive interview with Chris McKinnell, who grew up surrounded by the stories, investigations and experiences of his grandparents, whose work inspired the hugely successful The Conjuring film franchise.

Ed and Lorraine Warren became two of the world’s best-known paranormal investigators, investigating some of the most famous alleged hauntings and supernatural cases of the 20th century. Their work has since been brought to a global audience through The Conjuring movies and associated films.

Now Chris McKinnell is sharing his own experiences and memories with the Phantom Frequencies audience, offering a fascinating insight into the people behind the paranormal legends.

Phantom Frequencies co-presenter Keith Newman said:

“This is a real coup for Phantom Frequencies. Ed and Lorraine Warren are names that virtually everyone interested in the paranormal will recognise, and to be able to sit down with their grandson and hear his stories and experiences is incredibly exciting.

“Chris has a unique perspective because he didn’t simply read about the Warrens – he grew up as part of their family. The interview gives listeners an opportunity to hear about Ed and Lorraine from someone who knew them personally.”

Phantom Frequencies explores paranormal investigations, unexplained experiences, haunted locations and the people who have dedicated their lives to investigating what may lie beyond the world we understand.

The programme is broadcast on Radio Northumberland and is also available as a podcast, bringing its investigations and interviews to an ever-growing audience.

Fellow presenter Richard Craig added:

“We’ve had some fantastic guests on Phantom Frequencies, but this interview is certainly up there with the most exciting. Chris McKinnell really does give us a different perspective on paranormal royalty.”

This episode of Phantom Frequencies will  broadcast on Radio Northumberland on Thursday 27th and reruns Sunday 30th August at 10pm on www.radionorthumberland.com and DAB and is also available as a podcast.
