Paranormal Activity with Yvette Fielding

Two listeners. Two encounters with something that didn't just appear, it recognised them.Tariq is hours into a midnight desert drive when a tall, dark figure appears in the road. Then it moves: centre to edge in a single jump, no crossing the distance between. His foot brakes before his mind catches up, and one instinct screams: don't look at it directly.Then Claire describes the four minutes she was clinically dead on her kitchen floor. No tunnel. No light. Just a vast, full darkness and a presence that knew her completely, that she'd always sensed at the edge of her vision. It wanted her to stay. She still feels it alongside her.No bangs. No shadows. Just the sense of being known by something that was waiting long before you arrived.Producer Dom unpacks the dark folklore: forms that flicker between dimensions, the recognition principle, the Tibetan Bardo, and the Aztec god for whom death isn't an introduction: it's a reunion.What happens when the thing waiting for you isn't a stranger… but something that's known you your whole life?A Create Podcast Hosted on Acast.

Two listeners. Two encounters that ended with the same terrifying certainty: something found exactly what it was looking for, and it was them.Under a clear night sky, a pale light came straight for Wade. Slow. Deliberate. It stopped at head height and read him page by page. No fear, just a calm that wasn't his. Fourteen months on, one word still haunts him: claimed.Then Nina looks down at a Welsh lay-by and sees her shadow move on its own. An arm raised while hers hang still, a head turning while she faces forward. Something wearing her outline that forgot to perform. Four years later, it still arrives half a second late.Producer Dom digs into the dark folklore: the Gnostic archons that catalogue human souls, the djinn that mark their chosen, and the traditions where your shadow was never yours to begin with.What happens when the paranormal doesn't haunt you: it claims you?A Create Podcast Hosted on Acast.

Two listeners. Two encounters that span entire lifetimes. And something that's been watching their families long before they were born.Fran has seen it eleven times: a figure at a distance, always her height, always in her clothes, always moving toward an appointment she doesn't know about yet. Always between mid-afternoon and dusk. And the way her mother went quiet when she first described it as a child says Fran isn't the only one who's seen it.Then Hugo watches a shape move across the night sky with a wrongness physics can't explain and knows, in his chest, that he's seen it before. Months later he finds his late grandmother's unsent letter from the 1960s. Same shape. Same wrongness. And the exact word he'd reached for: acknowledged.No bangs. No shadows. Just the sense of being recognised by something that's known your bloodline for generations.Producer Dom unpacks the dark folklore: the Scottish co-walker that wears your face like camouflage, the Norse fylgja that goes ahead so you follow, and the watchers said to track chosen families across centuries.What happens when the thing following you isn't yours and was invited in long before you were born?A Create Podcast Hosted on Acast.

Five years. Five people. One cursed mountain. Zero answers.A hunting guide who knew every inch of the trail, gone.A college girl in a red coat who turned a corner and ceased to exist.A war veteran who vanished from a moving bus with his luggage still in the rack.An eight-year-old boy who walked away from a truck and into thin air. And a hiker whose body showed up seven months later — in a field that had already been searched.This is the Bennington Triangle. And nobody has ever explained it.Yvette Fielding & Karl Beattie break down all five cases: Middie Rivers, Paula Jean Welden, James E. Tedford, Paul Jepson, and Frieda Langer.With the full facts, the Abenaki curse, the paranormal theories, and the uncomfortable truth that none of the explanations actually work.Cursed stones. Interdimensional portals. A mountain the locals say swallows people whole.75+ years. Still unsolved. Still unexplained. Still terrifying.

Two listeners.Two encounters with the dead that refused to stay buried.And one terrifying thread connecting them both.Harrison doesn't scare easily, six years of night shifts, no startle reflex. So why did standing at the mouth of a 5,000-year-old burial mound leave him certain that something deep in the dark had turned to face him… and was waiting to see what he'd do?Then Miriam takes us inside Harvard's Peabody Museum at 2am. A man pulled from the earth outside Ur a century ago. Catalogued. Displayed. Waiting. And one night, something stepped to her shoulder and made it clear it had known her all along.No bangs. No shadows. Just the unbearable sense of being assessed by something with all the time in the world.Producer Dom unpacks the dark folklore beneath it all: the Norse mound-dweller fed by a thousand years of fear, the Mesopotamian eṭemmu taking inventory of the living, and the chilling idea that for the trapped dead, time doesn't pass… it compresses.What happens when something that's waited a hundred years finally decides you're worth knowing?A Create Podcast Hosted on Acast.

Three wives. Three bathtubs. Three identical murders. And rooms that still won't let go.George Joseph Smith killed with terrifying precision: no weapon, no struggle, just water and a method so quiet it passed as accident. Twice. His case rewrote forensic history. But what he left behind in those rooms has never been fully explained.Violent splashes from empty baths in Blackpool. Walls that turn damp without cause in Herne Bay. A figure bent over a bathtub in Highgate gone the second you look directly.This isn't a ghost story. There's no voice. No footsteps. Just a moment that refuses to end.Yvette explores the hauntings, the murder method investigators physically reconstructed, and six paranormal theories: including why this case is considered the textbook example of trauma embedded in water itself.Remember we have new episodes weekly.

This week on Monday Mailtime, Producer Dom dives into two listener stories that left him genuinely shaken.First, Oscar recounts a terrifying night wild camping alone on the North Yorkshire Moors, where he unknowingly pitched his tent beside what he later discovered was an ancient Bronze Age burial mound. In the dead of night, he wakes to the sound of a woman weeping just outside his tent… except the voice doesn't seem to come from anywhere around him. It comes from beneath him. And when he steps away from the mound, the sound stops instantly. By morning, Oscar discovers something even more disturbing pressed into the grass where he slept — a dark human-shaped impression, as though something had spent the night curled beside him.Then, Annie shares a deeply unsettling experience that began after the sudden death of her mother. What started as strange messages appearing in her journal soon escalated into detailed drawings she had no memory of creating — sketches of a woman with wide-set eyes and a mouth just slightly wrong. As her grief deepened, Annie became convinced that something had answered her mourning… and that whatever it was had been learning how to wear the shape of comfort itself.Producer Dom explores ancient British burial lore, the terrifying concept of “the bound dead,” psychic interlopers, automatic inscription, grief entities, and the chilling idea that some paranormal forces do not haunt places… they haunt vulnerability itself.Are these simply manifestations of trauma and isolation?Or are there things in this world that wait patiently for grief, loneliness and human contact?Listen now… and decide for yourself.

This week on Paranormal Activity: Monday Mailtime, Producer Dom opens two encounters that share one unsettling thread: whatever was there… was already aware.Eleni was a student nurse in a hospital outside Thessaloniki. Sent to check on two elderly patients in a section of the ward no one spoke about, she noticed an indentation between their beds, as though a third body had settled there. Then one patient turned, reached into the gap… and her fingers stopped mid-air. By morning, she had passed. When Eleni returned days later, there were three beds where there had been two. No one questioned it.Then, Leanne stepped outside her North Yorkshire home one summer evening and noticed a light hovering at the edge of her property. Then a second. Then a third. When she spoke aloud without thinking, one of them snapped sideways. They had heard her. Local folklore says the same thing: never speak to the watch lights. Because once they know you can see them… they look back.Producer Dom reacts, unpacks, and digs into the folklore behind both. From Greek psychopomps and guided death, to ancient accounts of lights that react to human awareness.A Create Podcast Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Peter Sellers was one of the most famous men on the planet.He was also one of the most genuinely, deeply paranormal figures of the 20th century, and almost nobody knows the full story.This week Yvette Fielding investigates the extraordinary and haunting truth behind the legend.A clairvoyant so powerful that Hollywood producers bribed him to influence Sellers' decisions.A near-death experience that left him convinced he'd made a personal deal with death itself. A Victorian ghost who allegedly guided his greatest performances from beyond the grave.And a desperate, decades-long search through séances and mediums to find his dead mother.This isn't a story about a celebrity with quirky superstitions.This is a story about a man who handed his entire life over to the paranormal and what it cost him.The séances were real. The obsession was real. And the tragedy was inevitable.A Create Podcast Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week on Paranormal Activity: Monday Mailtime, Producer Dom opens two listener encounters that don't just unsettle, they fundamentally challenge what we think we understand about places, presence, and memory.Calum hiked alone to a hill on the Isle of Skye as the light began to fade. He didn't know the locals call it Hill of the Voice. He does now. What started as a faint, drawn-out note became layers of inhuman singing — overlapping, circling, tightening around him like something adjusting itself. And then he felt it beneath his feet. Not a sound. Not a shape. Something occupied. Something listening back. A local later told him the singing isn't meant for people. And if you hear it clearly… you've already been noticed.Then, Amara travelled alone to Kennin-ji Temple in Kyoto to observe a morning service. She sat quietly. The chanting began. And then without knowing the words, without understanding the language, her mouth started moving. Perfectly in time. In a voice that wasn't hers. Deeper. Older. Worn-in, like it had been used across lifetimes. When it ended, she asked a monk what had happened. His answer has never left her: "Not everyone who arrives here is arriving for the first time."What happens when a place doesn't just hold energy… but uses whoever walks into it? And what does it mean when something ancient recognises you before you recognise it?Producer Dom reacts, unpacks, and explores the folklore and deeper theory behind both: from the fairy mounds of Scottish Gaelic tradition to the Zen Buddhist belief that practice never truly ends… it just waits for the right vessel to return.A Create Podcast Hosted on Acast.

This week on Paranormal Activity: Monday Mailtime, Producer Dom opens two of the most quietly disturbing listener submissions we've ever received.No violence.No apparitions.Just two encounters that got under the skin and didn't leave.Neev went hiking alone on the slopes of Benbulbin in County Sligo. She stayed too late. The light dropped. And then — from somewhere beneath the ground itself — something began to keen. Not a scream. Not the wind. Something older than both. A sound so full of grief it wrapped around her as she walked, moved with her as she ran, and never once felt like a threat. That was the worst part. It didn't want to frighten her. It wanted her to feel it.Then, Hannah visited a house in North Yorkshire that locals only ever pass around in whispers. From the moment she stepped inside, there was a rhythm running through the walls. The guide's first warning: don't follow it. But when she tapped her fingers once — just once — the rhythm stopped dead. And came back at her pace. That night, at home in bed, her fingers moved against the mattress without thinking. And something, somewhere, tapped back.What happens when the paranormal doesn't haunt a place… but reaches out from it? And what do you do when you realise you've already answered?Producer Dom reacts, unpacks, and explores the folklore and darker theory behind both — from Banshee tradition and threshold landscapes, to the unsettling possibility that some presences don't just linger… they learn.A Create Podcast Hosted on Acast.

When most people hear the word "exorcism," they picture Hollywood horror.But the reality is far quieter and perhaps far more unsettling.This week, Yvette is joined by Reverend Dr Jason Bray, Dean of Llandaff Cathedral in Cardiff and a practising deliverance minister for the Church of England, who has personally carried out exorcisms.From the cold spot around his newborn's cot to the figure he sensed on the other side of a door, Jason's journey into this world began at home.He reveals what really happens when the Church is called in, why deliverance ministers always work in pairs, the difference between "place memories" and active presences, and where he draws the line between the spiritual and the psychological.This one will change how you think about the Church and what it quietly deals with every day.A Create Podcast Hosted on Acast.

This week on Paranormal Activity: Monday Mailtime, Producer Dom dives into two deeply unsettling listener encounters that don't just feel paranormal… they feel deliberate.First, Tom shares something that began not on his travels across South America, but weeks before he even left the UK. The same dream, repeating. The same square, the same tile, the same pull toward a turning he couldn't bring himself to take. Until he arrived in Cusco… and found every detail already waiting for him. Exactly as he'd seen it. And then it happened again in La Paz. And now, months later, back home — the dream has returned. But this time, the location is somewhere new. Somewhere he hasn't been yet.Then, Hannah recounts a quiet afternoon alone at the British Museum that became something far harder to explain. Standing before a display of fragments linked to the Book of Enoch, the room sealed itself of sound, a page moved without being touched, and the text she had been reading… changed. A line she has never been able to find in any translation, in any archive, anywhere: "To be seen is to be chosen."These aren't your typical ghost stories.No apparitions. No cold spots. No sudden crashes in the night.Instead, something far more unsettling: foreknowledge, recognition, and the creeping sense that something ancient is still very much paying attention to who comes looking.What happens when the paranormal doesn't haunt a place… but uses it?And what does it mean when you're shown something that isn't supposed to exist anymore?Producer Dom reacts, unpacks, and explores the deeper theories behind these encounters.Where precognition, forbidden texts, and forces far older than either traveller may have stepped directly into their path.Not by accident, but by design.A Create Podcast Hosted on Acast.

In the latest instalment of Murders That Haunt, Yvette Fielding turns her attention to one of the most infamous and unresolved criminal cases in American history.Fall River, Massachusetts, 1892.On a sweltering August morning, wealthy businessman Andrew Borden and his wife Abby were found brutally murdered inside their own home.Their daughter Lizzie was tried, acquitted, and never charged again.The case was never solved.But something, it seems, has never left that house on Second Street.This week, Yvette explores the full story of Lizzie Borden: the woman, the trial, the mystery.Before stepping into the paranormal legacy that has made the Borden house one of the most investigated locations in the United States.From the heavy, deliberate footsteps that climb the staircase and stop dead on the landing, eerily mirroring Abby Borden's final moments, to the unexplained indentations that appear on the bed in the very room where she was slaughtered: the reports from guests and investigators are as unsettling as the murders themselves.We look at the sightings of a silent woman in Victorian dress, the curious presence that moves objects and leaves guests with a creeping sensation of being watched from just over their shoulder, and the haunting detail that perhaps says it all: someone was in that house, and nobody could prove who.Joining the case files of Mary Blandy, Al Capone, Mary Ann Cotton, Amelia Dyer, H.H. Holmes and The Corned Beef Killer Ethel Major, Lizzie Borden takes her place in the series as a woman history couldn't convict, and a house that refuses to forget.Lock the doors and make sure you don't go upstairs alone!A Create Podcast Hosted on Acast.

This week on Paranormal Activity: Monday Mailtime, Producer Dom dives into two deeply unsettling listener encounters that don't just feel paranormal… they feel intentional.First, Daniel shares a chilling experience from the Lake District, where a converted 18th-century cottage appears to be quietly rebuilding something left behind. Objects don't just move: they arrive. Carefully. Deliberately. Forming patterns that suggest purpose, not chaos. But what happens when the house isn't just active… it thinks something has been taken?Then, Sophie recounts a hauntingly different kind of experience in Malaysia, inside the historic Cheng Hoon Teng Temple. No shadows. No figures. Just an overwhelming, undeniable feeling: she wasn't meant to be there. A space not of haunting—but of balance… and awareness.These aren't your typical ghost stories.There are no loud bangs or dark figures lurking in corners. Instead, something far more disturbing: control, intention, and the sense of being recognised.What happens when the paranormal doesn't just appear… but responds?And more importantly… what happens when it notices you?Producer Dom reacts, unpacks, and explores the darker, more folkloric theories behind these encounters.Where ritual, energy, and unseen forces may be far more active than we realise.A Create Podcast Hosted on Acast.

This month's Listener Special of Paranormal Activity with Yvette Fielding brings together some of the most unsettling, emotional and deeply personal paranormal experiences we've ever received.We begin with Vicky, whose father woke in the early hours to find something impossible: the unmistakable presence of his late wife, lying beside him, smiling… and speaking. But can spirits really appear in solid form?Von shares a series of chilling photographs taken in her garden after scattering her mother's ashes: images that appear to show unexplained orbs, some disturbingly close… and one that seems to carry facial features. Is this simply dust and light, or something far more meaningful?Collette takes us into the world of Ouija boards: recounting two experiences that left her shaken for years, and asking the question many are too afraid to: is there ever a safe way to open that door?Lauren describes a deeply unnerving encounter on Calton Hill in Edinburgh, where a strange, intelligent static seemed to follow her movements… react to her presence… and possibly connect with her in ways she still can't explain.And finally, Eliza shares a terrifying experience of waking in the night to a presence that didn't just surround her… but seemed to take control. With thoughts that weren't her own, movements she couldn't stop, and marks left behind: was this far more invasive?These are your stories. Real experiences. Real questions.And as always… we ask:What do you believe?A Create Podcast Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week on Paranormal Activity: Monday Mailtime, Producer Dom dives into two listener stories that don't just feel eerie… they feel ancient, deliberate, and very much still active.First, Toby takes us deep into the frozen isolation of Iceland, where the folklore of the Yule Lads isn't treated as myth… but as something quietly respected.Alone in a remote cabin during the 13th night of Christmas, Toby wakes to the sound of small, careful footsteps moving inside the room.By morning, food has been taken, and something far more unsettling is left behind: footprints that begin… but never leave.When a local guide hears what happened, his response is simple and chilling: “Stúfur likes those.”Then, Evie shares a story from her grandparents' home in upstate New York: a place where a long-abandoned spiritual circle may have never truly been closed.What starts as a quiet evening in the basement turns into something far more disturbing when an old séance table begins to move with intention, responding in pulses… almost like communication.But it's the chalk circle on the floor, slowly breaking apart as if something unseen is tracing it from within, that reveals the truth: whatever was invited in all those years ago… may still be there, waiting.These aren't just ghost stories.These are moments where folklore, ritual, and something far older seem to cross into the physical world.So the question is…when something is invited in, does it ever really leave?A Create Podcast Hosted on Acast.

In this week's episode of Paranormal Activity with Yvette Fielding, Yvette and and her paranormal partner in crime Karl Beattie explore recent sightings and unexplained encounters across the Appalachian Mountains—one of the most active paranormal hotspots in the world.While Bigfoot and Sasquatch are often linked to the region, this investigation looks beyond a single phenomenon to uncover a wider pattern of strange activity.Featuring modern cases, including: Multiple reports across Portage County, Ohio & Unexplained footage captured by a paragliderThese encounters share striking similarities, suggesting something more than coincidence.Are these sightings evidence of an undiscovered creature?Or is there something deeper within the Appalachian wilderness that we don't yet understand?A Create Podcast Hosted on Acast.

It's Monday Mailtime… and this week, Producer Dom is diving into two listener stories that feel less like classic hauntings… and more like something ancient, unseen, and deeply unsettling.First, Jamie takes us to the eerie ridge of the Uffington White Horse: a prehistoric landscape steeped in ritual history.What starts as a peaceful sunset walk quickly turns into something far more disturbing, as he and his partner begin to hear low, rhythmic chanting echoing across the hill… voices with no source, rising and falling like part of an ancient ceremony.But when the atmosphere shifts, and the feeling of being noticed sets in, they realise they may have stumbled into something they were never meant to witness.Then, Annie shares her chilling experience in the Austrian Alps, where a quiet evening walk turns into a slow-building nightmare.After hearing local legends about the Perchten: ancient mountain entities said to roam the high paths.She finds herself gripped by an overwhelming sensation of being followed.No footsteps.No figure.Just something pacing her… always just out of sight.And when the ground behind her appears to shift as if something unseen is moving through it, the folklore suddenly feels far too real.These aren't your typical ghost stories.They're something older.Something tied to place, to history… to energy that lingers far beyond our understanding.What did Jamie really hear on that ridge?And what was walking behind Annie in the mountains?Producer Dom reacts, breaks it down, and explores the darker paranormal theories behind both encounters.Because sometimes… it's not about what you see.It's about what knows you're there.A Create Podcast Hosted on Acast.

This week on Paranormal Activity with Yvette Fielding, we're diving into one of the most controversial and talked-about paranormal cases of modern times… the story of Tina Resch, better known as The Poltergeist Girl.In 1984, a quiet family home in Ohio became the centre of a global media storm when objects reportedly began moving on their own.Telephones flew across rooms.Lamps toppled without warning.And in one now-famous moment, a photographer captured an image that appeared to show a telephone suspended in mid-air.But what really happened inside that house?As journalists, police officers and paranormal investigators flooded the home, many claimed they witnessed strange activity for themselves.Was this a genuine case of psychokinetic energy… or something far more explainable?We explore the key moments of the case, including:The first chilling disturbancesThe photograph that shocked the worldEyewitness accounts from inside the houseThe investigation by parapsychologist William G. RollThe controversial footage that changed everythingAnd then… the story takes a dark and tragic turn.Years later, Tina, now known as Christina Boyer, would become the centre of a very different kind of case, raising even more questions about the life of the girl once known as the Poltergeist Girl.This is a story of mystery, media frenzy, and a case that still divides opinion to this day.Was it real… or was something else going on?A Create Podcast Hosted on Acast.

This week on Monday Mailtime, Producer Dom is back reacting to two of your encounters that don't just feel paranormal… they feel personal.First, Alan shares a chilling experience inside the Tower of London: a place steeped in execution, imprisonment, and centuries of unresolved history.What begins as a quiet autumn visit quickly turns into something far more unsettling when a raven locks eyes with him… and moments later, he feels a hand press into his back, despite no one being there. But it doesn't end at the Tower. Because whatever noticed him… may have followed him home.Then, Daniel takes us to Mount Olympus: a place once believed to be the literal home of the gods. What starts as a peaceful hike turns into something far more profound when the atmosphere shifts, the silence deepens, and an unseen presence makes itself known. A voice without language. A force without form. And a message that couldn't be clearer: you are not permitted.These aren't just ghost stories.These are encounters with places that feel guarded… watched… and unwilling to let you pass unnoticed.Are some locations still protected by something ancient?Can energy attach itself to you and follow you home?And what happens when you step somewhere you were never meant to be?Producer Dom reacts, breaks it down, and explores the darker paranormal possibilities behind both experiences.Because sometimes… it's not about what you see.It's about what sees you first.A Create Podcast Hosted on Acast.

In this gripping continuation of our Murders That Haunt series, Yvette Fielding returns to rural England to uncover a case where betrayal was served at the dinner table.In May 1934, in the quiet Lincolnshire village of Kirkby-on-Bain, Arthur Major sat down to eat a simple meal of corned beef prepared by his wife. Within hours, he was dead: poisoned with strychnine.His killer, Ethel Major, would go on to become the only woman ever executed at HM Prison Hull.But did the story end at the gallows?We explore the chilling reports that have surfaced in the decades since: from the condemned corridor of Hull Prison, where footsteps are still said to echo, to the Major family home where an ordinary kitchen carries an uneasy atmosphere, and finally to the quiet grounds of St Mary's Church, where some claim a solitary figure walks near the boundary wall after dusk.Through witness accounts, folklore, and paranormal theory, we investigate whether something of that final betrayal still lingers across these locations, not as a dramatic haunting, but as something far quieter… and perhaps more unsettling.This is the story of suspicion, poison, and a legacy that may never have truly settled.This is Murders That Haunt: The Corned Beef Killer.A Create Podcast Hosted on Acast.

This week on Monday Mailtime, Producer Dom dives into two listener stories that feel less like ghost encounters… and more like something territorial, ancient, and watching.First, Daniel takes us to a vast Victorian cemetery in Birmingham, where something unseen appears to correct the living. Flowers are repositioned with precision. Soil smooths itself flat. And a slow, deliberate exhale follows him each time he leaves, as if the land itself is enforcing order. This doesn't feel like a loved one watching over him… it feels like something that owns the ground.Then, Charlotte shares her chilling experience at the Angel of the North after dark, where the towering sculpture doesn't just loom… it responds. Metallic groans fall into rhythm with her movements, unseen footsteps track her down the slope, and for a brief, impossible moment… the Angel itself appears to have shifted.Expect theories around territorial entities, land-bound forces, and why some locations seem to reject human interference entirely.Because sometimes… it's not about what's haunting the place.It's about what the place is.A Create Podcast Hosted on Acast.

This month's Listener Special of Paranormal Activity with Yvette Fielding dives into some of the most chilling, thought-provoking real-life experiences we've ever received.From unexplained sightings caught on camera… to moments that feel like time itself slipped… these are stories that don't just scare you — they stay with you.We begin with Darren in Somerset, whose sons captured a mysterious object hovering in the sky just after sunset. Drone? Balloon? Or something far stranger?Ruth shares a deeply unsettling experience in her own words, raising questions about what we hear… and what might be listening back.Then Angela tells a story that feels almost impossible to explain: a young child speaking words she shouldn't know, hinting at memories from before she was born. Can souls choose their families?Lindsay describes a terrifying moment of foresight, witnessing a car crash seconds before it happened, and possibly avoiding being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Is this a glimpse into the future… or something else entirely?And finally, Tiffany recounts repeated sleep paralysis encounters that go far beyond the usual explanations, where a corner of her room didn't just look wrong… it felt like something was trying to come through.These are your stories.

It's time for another Monday Mailtime on Paranormal Activity, and Producer Dom is diving into two listener stories that feel less like coincidence… and more like something unfinished.First, Ella takes us back to Sheffield in 2012, when she was closing down a quiet indoor ice rink late on a Sunday night.With the lights dimmed and the building empty, the silence was broken by a sound no one should have been making.The unmistakable scrape of skates carving across untouched ice.As the sounds of perfect practice laps echoed around the rink, the scoreboard flickered to life and the entrance turnstiles began spinning… despite the building being completely locked.What followed was the terrifying sound of a high-speed crash and the chilling story of a skater who died years earlier during a late-night training session.Then Callum shares a deeply unsettling experience from a motorway service station on the M6 during a midnight stop in 2022.What began as a routine coffee break turned strange when the motorway information board glitched and displayed a cryptic warning: “Fatal incident ahead.”Moments later, unexplained temperature drops, empty hand dryers roaring to life, and a mysterious date appearing on the screen would send him down a rabbit hole of past tragedies linked to that exact stretch of motorway.But the detail that still haunts him?A speeding ticket timestamp that suggests he was driving past a camera… while he was supposedly inside the service station.Two encounters. Two places caught between moments in time.Join Producer Dom as he unpacks these eerie listener experiences and asks the question we always come back to: are some places simply replaying the past… or is something still trying to reach the living?Got a story you can't explain?Email it to the team (paranormalactivitypod@gmail.com) and you might feature in a future Monday Mailtime.A Create Podcast Hosted on Acast.

What happens when we build homes on land that has already seen death, violence, and burial?In this episode of Paranormal Activity, Yvette & Karl investigate housing estates across the UK that sit on former battlefields, military barracks, and graveyards.Places where history didn't just happen… it left a mark.From the land surrounding Culloden Battlefield at Milton of Culloden, to the military training ground at Bulford, and the violent clash remembered at Linlithgow Bridge, we explore the chilling reports from residents living where soldiers once fought and died.We also step inside former military sites including Mill Street Barracks and Fulwood Barracks, where witnesses describe marching footsteps, shouted commands, and apparitions in uniform long after the troops left.And beneath some of our busiest cities lie burial grounds that were never meant to be disturbed.From plague burials beneath Spitalfields and Minories, to the modern controversy surrounding the HS2 Old Methodist Church site.Why do we keep building on these places?Do the hauntings reflect the kind of suffering that once happened there?Could the land itself remember the past?This episode explores the history, the hauntings, and the unsettling question at the heart of it all:When we build over the dead… do they really stay buried?A Create Podcast Hosted on Acast.

It's time once again for Monday Mailtime, where Producer Dom opens the inbox and reacts to your real-life paranormal encounters… and this week's stories are unsettling in very different ways.First, Maya shares a chilling experience from an old pub in Kidderminster.What began as a quiet afternoon drink quickly turned strange when the sound of glasses touching the bar echoed through an empty room, followed by the unmistakable murmur of voices, laughter, and conversation from people who weren't there.Staff call them “the old regulars”… but are these simply echoes of the past, or something that refuses to leave the place it once called home?Then Ethan takes us to a modern logistics warehouse in the Midlands, a place that should feel anything but haunted.Yet inside Bay 14, pallets moved when no one was there, scanners activated one by one as if something invisible was walking the aisles, and a presence seemed to be quietly rearranging the space.Not chaotic.Not violent.Precise.Two locations.Two very different hauntings.One that feels like the past replaying itself… and another that suggests something unseen may still be working the night shift.Producer Dom reacts, explores the possibilities, and asks the question we always come back to on this show:When places hold onto the energy of what happened there… do they ever really let it go?Got a story you can't explain? Send it in for a future Monday Mailtime episode… if you dare.A Create Podcast Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this chilling continuation of our Murders That Haunt series, Yvette Fielding crosses the Atlantic to investigate one of the most infamous serial killers in history.H. H. Holmes, the man who built murder into brick and mortar.Previously, we've explored the lingering shadows of Mary Blandy, Al Capone, Mary Ann Cotton and Amelia Dyer.Now, we step inside the legend of the so-called Murder Castle.A labyrinthine building constructed at 63rd and Wallace Street in Englewood, Chicago, designed with hidden corridors, sealed rooms, and deadly intent.But the building is gone.So why do reports of hauntings persist?In this week's episode, Yvette unpacks Holmes' disturbing life story and then examines the chilling phenomena linked to five key locations:The original Murder Castle site at 63rd & WallaceThe Englewood Post Office that now stands in its placeArtifacts held in storage by the Chicago Historical SocietyMoyamensing Prison in Philadelphia, where Holmes met his endHoly Cross Cemetery in Pennsylvania, where his body lies buried in concreteFrom shadow figures and unexplained footsteps to spatial distortions and overwhelming sensations of being watched, we explore what witnesses have reported and whether the architecture of cruelty can leave something behind long after the walls have fallen.Are these hauntings the result of psychological imprint?Lingering intention?Or something far more unsettling?This is Murders That Haunt: Dr. H. H. Holmes & The Murder Castle.Enter if you dare.A Create Podcast Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's Monday Mailtime, and Producer Dom is back in the hot seat reacting to two listener stories that don't rely on shadows or figures in the dark… just open space, broad daylight, and something unseen that knows you're there.First, Katie takes us to a disused railway crossing in Lancashire, an exposed stretch high above a valley with nowhere for anything to hide.Sunrise.Clear skies.Total visibility.And yet, halfway across, the world seemed to mute itself.The air grew heavy.A slow, hollow impact echoed beneath her feet.And an intrusive thought surfaced that didn't feel like her own: This isn't a place people were meant to linger.Locals say workers died there during a 19th-century collapse, no memorial, no marker.Just resumed work.Did the crossing remember?Then Steven shares a chilling encounter on an old military parade square in Northumberland.Open land.Bright evening sky.No theatrics.Just the unmistakable sound of drill-perfect marching rising from the ground itself.A single command.Silence.And the overwhelming sense that for a brief moment… he wasn't observing history, he was part of it.No crumbling castles.No midnight vigils.Just two vast, empty spaces, and something that didn't want company.Are these residual echoes of trauma?Intelligent presences reacting to the living?Or does land itself hold memory?Producer Dom reacts, breaks down the patterns, and asks the question we always come back to on Monday Mailtime: when the environment changes around you… is it ever just in your head?Have a story to share?

This week on Paranormal Activity, Yvette Fielding is joined by friend of the show Glen Hunt to dive headfirst into one of the most controversial and mind-bending topics in the paranormal world… modern time travel.Are we really seeing visitors from the future?Or are these viral cases simply clever hoaxes wrapped in digital-age mythology?Together, Yvette and Glen dissect four extraordinary cases that have divided believers and sceptics alike:

It's Monday Mailtime on Paranormal Activity, and Producer Dom is diving into two listener encounters that don't scream for attention… they simply exist.Waiting.First, Rowena shares a deeply unsettling experience from open land near Oxenholme in the Lake District.A place with no buildings, no obvious history, no dramatic landmarks.Just space.But what she felt there was anything but empty.A heavy, deliberate silence.A boundary she couldn't see but instinctively understood.A thought that didn't feel like her own: You are not meant to be here.Step away and it vanishes.Step back toward it and the pressure returns.Why does one exact patch of land feel… claimed?Then Andy recounts a strange encounter on the edge of a residential area beside an electrical substation.A drifting light that didn't behave like normal light.A mechanical hum that faltered into something almost responsive.A dog that refused to move forward.And the overwhelming sense that whatever was present wasn't watching in a human way, but acknowledging.Was this environmental interference, something interacting with infrastructure… or something operating just outside our understanding?Dom reacts to both stories, exploring the possibilities behind territorial hauntings, boundary phenomena, land memory, energy anomalies and UAP-linked infrastructure cases, and asks the question:When a place feels occupied… who — or what is claiming it?Two locations.No visible threat.No dramatic apparition.Just the quiet certainty that you've stepped somewhere you were never meant to stand.A Create Podcast Hosted on Acast.

This month's Listener Special is one of those episodes that reminds us why your stories are at the very heart of Paranormal Activity.First, we head to Holland Hall Hotel in Lancashire, where Naomi shares an unforgettable experience from the eve of her wedding.A 17th-century hall known for its hidden priest holes becomes the backdrop for a shared sighting she and her bridesmaid still can't explain.A hooded monk-like figure standing silently at the end of their corridor.Was it connected to the building's recusant history… or something far older embedded in the walls?Then Gemma sends in a chilling photograph taken in the 1970s, a Christmas tree glowing softly in the window… and a face staring back from the glass.When the negative was checked, the figure was still there.Family members believe it's her late grandfather.Is this a classic case of spirit photography, or something imprinted in film at the moment of development?From there, Georgia takes us to a quiet residential street in Leeds where reality itself seemed to unravel.Footsteps echoing out of sync.The same parked van appearing again and again.A road that refused to end.Time passing, but not passing.Was she briefly caught in something that didn't want her to leave?We also hear from Ellie in Lanarkshire, who stepped onto an empty football pitch at dusk only to find the environment reacting as though a match was still being played so nets moving, lines bending, grass shifting under unseen feet.Had she crossed into another moment still unfolding?And finally, Emily recounts a deeply unsettling night shift at a small regional zoo.Animals standing frozen in unison.A rhythmic tapping just beyond the enclosure.The unmistakable sense of something large moving, unseen, just out of sight… and the chilling realisation that the animals knew exactly where it was.Five stories.Five very different encounters.Shared sightings, photographic mysteries, looping streets, overlapping moments in time, and something pacing in the dark beyond the fence.As always, you decide what you believe.Welcome to February's Listener Special.A Create Podcast Hosted on Acast.

This week on Monday Mailtime, Producer Dom explores two haunting listener experiences where the paranormal doesn't shout… it waits.First, Eleanor shares a deeply unsettling encounter during a late-night game of bowling in Leeds, where the machinery didn't just glitch, it anticipated.From self-resetting pins to a ball that rolled back on its own, the lane seemed to observe, to correct, and to quietly decide when the game was over.Then, Maria recalls a walk home through Edinburgh that turned chillingly unfamiliar.A sudden drop in temperature, unseen footsteps pacing behind her, and a thick silence that felt like a trap.She wasn't followed by a person, but by something embedded in the land itself.A place of punishment, perhaps.Forgotten by history, but not by it.These are stories where rules are bent, thresholds are crossed, and the spaces we trust.Streets, bowling alleys, familiar routines then become strangers to us.A Create Podcast Hosted on Acast.

On this week's Monday Mailtime, Producer Dom returns with two chilling listener stories that explore what happens when the unknown not only makes itself known… but makes it personal.First, David recounts a mysterious encounter on the edge of an unmarked stretch of land in the north of England.Lights in the sky that defy physics.Phones that fail.Military vehicles that arrive without warning.Was it a UAP sighting… or something far more orchestrated?Then, Becky shares a haunting from Sheffield that goes beyond ghost stories.A familiar walk through an old cemetery turns into something far more disturbing when a voice begins calling her name, leading her to a grave bearing it.But was it a coincidence... or a claim?Both stories speak to a deeper fear: not of being watched… but of being expected.Tune in, if you dare, for a double dose of the unsettling, the unexplained, and the unnervingly precise.A Create Podcast Hosted on Acast.

This week on Paranormal Activity, Yvette Fielding continues the Murders That Haunt series with one of the most disturbing and chilling cases in British criminal history, Amelia Dyer.Often described as one of the most prolific serial killers of the Victorian era, Amelia Dyer's crimes shocked the nation and left a trail of suffering that still resonates today. But could her legacy extend beyond death?In this episode, Yvette delves deep into Amelia Dyer's story.Her life, her crimes, and the grim reality of what unfolded behind closed doors.From there, she explores the locations now said to be haunted by Dyer's presence, including former residences in Reading, sightings along the banks of the River Thames, the cells of the Old Bailey, and Reading Gaol.Reports of wandering spirits, unexplained sounds, oppressive atmospheres, and lingering feelings of dread have followed these places for decades.Are these simply the echoes of history?Or something far darker refusing to be forgotten?Yvette also examines the paranormal theories behind these alleged hauntings and looks at what investigations, if any, have attempted to uncover the truth behind Amelia Dyer's lingering shadow.Was the evil tied to the woman herself…Or did the places she passed through absorb something that never truly left?This is Murders That Haunt, and this is the unsettling legacy of Amelia Dyer.

This week on Monday Mailtime, Producer Dom explores two spine-tingling listener stories that prove some hauntings don't need shadows, whispers, or apparitions to terrify, they just need presence.First, Toby recounts a strange night in a quiet Sheffield flat, where an invisible force filled the room with pressure, dread, and the unsettling sensation of being silently observed.No movement.No voice.Just the weight of something that shouldn't have been there. something his cousin had felt before.Then, Tom takes us to Edinburgh's twisting backstreets, where a shortcut down a familiar stairway becomes a surreal trap.Time distorts.Echoes bend.The path seems to stretch beyond reality.Was it a slip into somewhere else?Or a place that slipped into him?Turn the lights down, just not all the way, and join us for two stories that remind us: the most unsettling encounters aren't always seen or heard… they're felt.A Create Podcast Hosted on Acast.

In this week's episode of Paranormal Activity, Yvette Fielding saddles up and heads down some of Britain's most dangerous old roads to investigate the ghosts of the highwaymen.Outlaw figures whose crimes, charisma and violent ends may have bound them to the landscapes they once terrorised.From the gallows of London to lonely crossroads and forest paths, Yvette explores the chilling legends and reported hauntings linked to Jack Sheppard, Dick Turpin, Claude Du Vall, James Maclaine and the terrifying Scottish cannibal of legend, Sawney Bean.These are men whose names still echo through folklore but whose presence, some claim, has never truly left.Witnesses tell of phantom riders on moonlit roads, shadowy figures lingering near execution sites, spectral footsteps, voices carried on the wind, and an overwhelming sense of being watched. Are these hauntings the result of violent deaths, unfinished business, or reputations so powerful they've imprinted themselves onto the land?Yvette examines why highwaymen, more than many other criminals, seem so prone to haunting.Was it the theatrical nature of their lives?Their sudden, brutal executions?Or the deep fear and fascination they inspired in those who crossed their paths?Drawing on paranormal theories, historical context and centuries of reported experiences, this episode delves into what might cause these outlaw spirits to linger and why their stories refuse to fade?A journey into folklore, fear and the haunted highways of Britain, this is an episode that proves some roads should never be travelled alone… especially after dark.A Create Podcast Hosted on Acast.
