Original comedy, podcasts, poetry, fiction and more on BBC Upload with Lizzie Crow in for Nina Das Gupta, including:

• The chill-inducing new horror short turning Ilmington Manor into a proper haunted house, filled with truths that refuse to stay dead. Discover Daniel's Room, courtesy of award-winning Stratford filmmaker Jack Richardson.

• 'Feel the fear and do it anyway.' The mantra of Shrewsbury writer Claire Brown, who uses poetry to navigate through topics of mental health and sexual assault, picking up followers in the thousands at open mic nights and online.

• Highlights from a whole load of funny, at the Rik Mayall Comedy Festival in Droitwich, which brings guests Helen Lederer, Redditch's Lorna Rose-Treen and Wolverhampton's Hannah Weetman to the Bottom and Blackadder star's hometown.
