Paranormal Activity with Yvette Fielding

In this week’s Monday Mailtime, Producer Dom unpacks two listener stories that prove the past doesn't always stay put, and sometimes, it rides the bus with you. First, Dan shares a chilling tale from a quiet house in Leeds, where an old children's toy plays music with no batteries... and seems to move on its own. When strange tally marks are found inside a cupboard and the toy refuses to stay put, it raises one question: who or what is still playing? Then Jamie recounts a late-night bus ride outside Manchester that took an eerie turn. When the driver stops at a long-defunct bus stop, no one gets on but everyone feels something board. An unspoken rule among passengers, and one persistently empty seat, suggests there's more to that route than meets the eye. Two everyday settings. Two unforgettable encounters. Press play if you dare and remember, some seats are best left empty. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week on Paranormal Activity, Yvette is joined once again by her partner in paranormal crime, the brilliant and unshakable Karl Beattie, for an episode that dives into the darker, more dangerous side of ghost hunting. Across decades of investigations, Yvette and Karl have faced some of the most intense hauntings imaginable… but there are moments that still stand out. Moments where an unseen force becomes physical. From the sudden scratch down the back, to that unmistakable shove, to nights when the air turns hostile and the energy in the room feels like it wants you out — or worse. Together, they revisit the violent encounters that left them breathless, shaken, and questioning what exactly lurks in the shadows: Yvette and Karl share their real-life experiences: the injuries, the moments of terror, and the instances that still make them shudder today. They also explore the emotional and energetic triggers that might spark a violent haunting and what investigators can do when a spirit decides to fight back. Turn off the lights, settle in… and prepare yourself. This is the episode where the paranormal isn’t just heard or seen, it hits. A Create Podcast Hosted on Acast.

This week on Monday Mailtime, Producer Dom unpacks two listener stories that prove the most ordinary places can hold the most unsettling secrets. First up, Connor shares his strange experience in a secondhand bookshop in Edinburgh where one unremarkable book refused to be left behind. Mysterious appearances, cryptic comments from the shop owner, and a story that keeps moving even after it's home make this a tale that lingers long after the last page. Then, Sam recounts a late-night encounter in a bland Manchester office building until a lift ride took him to a floor that should have been empty. Lights off. Doors open. And footsteps in the dark that knew exactly where to stop. Books that won't be forgotten. Elevators that don’t follow the rules. And a reminder that sometimes… the quietest places are where the paranormal pays the most attention. A Create Podcast Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Some places are haunted… and some trees are haunted all on their own In this week's episode, Yvette Fielding explores seven of the most mysterious and terrifying haunted trees from around the world, each one steeped in legend, tragedy, and inexplicable paranormal activity. From the chilling mystery of “Who put Bella in the Wych Elm?” in Worcestershire, to the ancient might of Sherwood Forest’s Major Oak, to the cursed Devil’s Tree in New Jersey… what is it about certain trees that draws in spirits, traps energy, and refuses to let go? Yvette explores: 🌳 The Wych Elm Mystery — a wartime crime that left behind a ghostly legacy. 🌳 The Major Oak — Robin Hood’s legendary tree with a shadowy presence lurking beneath its branches. 🌳 The Hangman’s Tree — a New Forest oak said to still echo the final struggles of those executed there. 🌳 The Oak of the Golden Man — a sacred Kazakh tree haunted by a warrior spirit. 🌳 The Sunland Baobab — a South African giant that once held secrets… and bodies. 🌳 The Night Marchers’ Banyan Trees — cursed Hawaiian routes where you must never look the spirits in the eyes. 🌳 The Devil’s Tree — the tree locals fear, where engines stall and ghosts follow you home. Yvette unravels the stories, the cultural beliefs, the eyewitness accounts, and the paranormal theories behind each haunted tree and asks: Can a tree hold a spirit? And why do some trees become portals, protectors, or prisons for the dead? With chilling tales, rich history, and eerie theories, this episode dives deep into what makes these trees some of the most haunted in the world. So settle in, dim the lights, and listen closely… Because some trees whisper. Some trees watch. And some trees never forget. A Create Podcast Hosted on Acast.

In this week’s Monday Mailtime, Producer Dom unpacks two deeply personal and quietly chilling listener stories that prove not all hauntings are loud! Some whisper their presence in scents, memories, and the rustle of fabric. First, Daniel shares an intimate encounter in the attic of his late grandmother’s home in Sheffield, where the unmistakable scent of lavender and pipe smoke signals something, or someone, still lingering. A trinket box opens on its own, revealing a long-forgotten sprig… and a presence that feels more nostalgic than malevolent. Then, Louise recalls an unsettling moment while working in the wardrobe room of a historic Yorkshire estate. Alone among antique garments, she hears phantom rustlings and senses a warmth behind her, followed by the unmistakable perfume of another era. Was it just the house settling? Or the lingering spirit of a young woman who never made it to the ball? Not all hauntings are meant to scare—some seem to want us to remember. Listen now, and don’t forget: the past has a way of opening doors when we least expect it. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this week’s Monday Mailtime, Producer Dom unpacks two atmospheric listener stories that remind us: some places aren’t just haunted, they’re alive in their own way. First, Tom recalls a haunting restoration project inside an abandoned Victorian clockmaker’s shop. The ticking had long since stopped, or so they thought. As time shifts and old mechanisms stir, Tom begins to suspect the workshop still remembers the hands that once shaped it. Then, Liam shares his unsettling experience in the attic of a Yorkshire community theatre where forgotten mannequins don’t stay where you leave them. Scraping sounds, silent watchers, and unexplained movements blur the line between prop and presence. Old objects. Residual energy. Spaces that never truly forget. Tune in as Dom reacts to these eerie encounters and asks the question: what if some rooms are just waiting for the right person to come back? A Create Podcast Hosted on Acast.

This week on Paranormal Activity: Monday Mailtime, Producer Dom unpacks two listener stories that challenge the boundaries of time, memory, and the spaces we think we understand. First, Daniel takes us to the cobbled alleys of Bruges, Belgium, where a mysterious art gallery seemed to appear out of nowhere and then vanish without a trace. Inside, the portraits didn’t just watch him… one of them moved. Was it an artistic illusion, or did Daniel step into a place lost to history? Then, Ben shares what happened during a quiet winter in Sheffield, while housesitting for his cousin. In the attic sat an old Remington typewriter, silent for decades. Or so he thought. When the keys began clicking on their own, it felt like more than just coincidence, especially when one key pointed to a message from beyond the grave. Two stories. Two impossible places. One question: Can the past ever really let go? A Create Podcast Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this week's episode of Paranormal Activity with Yvette Fielding, we step inside one of America’s most infamous haunted locations: Waverly Hills Sanatorium in Louisville, Kentucky. Once a sprawling tuberculosis hospital, Waverly Hills became a place of both healing and horror during one of the deadliest epidemics in U.S. history. Thousands died within its walls, and their presence, many say, never left. From the shadow people that stalk its hallways to the tragic nurse of Room 502, and the playful spirit of young Timmy, who still rolls his ball across the floor, this is a place where the veil between the living and the dead feels paper-thin. Yvette takes us through Waverly’s dark history: the construction, the desperation of the patients, and the infamous “Death Tunnel”, where the bodies of the dead were secretly carried away from sight. She explores the paranormal investigations that made Waverly world-famous and dives deep into theories that suggest why the sanatorium remains a beacon of supernatural energy. Now preserved as both a historic site and a paranormal hotspot, Waverly Hills continues to draw ghost hunters and skeptics alike. But as Yvette asks, are we visiting the past? Or is the past still watching us? Enter if you dare… because in Waverly Hills, the echoes of the dying still whisper through the halls. A Create Podcast Hosted on Acast.

On this week's Monday Mailtime, Producer Dom unpacks two listener stories that bring a whole new meaning to “traveling with company”, even when you're supposed to be alone. First, Sam recounts a chilling experience from a quiet cottage trip to the Scottish Highlands. What starts as a peaceful walk near a loch takes a sinister turn when unseen footsteps begin to follow and the air fills with the scent of smoke and something... metallic. The land holds its history tightly, and some paths remember every soul that passed through. Then, Emily shares her haunting train ride through the Bavarian countryside, where a humming voice, a disappearing reflection, and a sudden drop in temperature hint at something still lingering in the forests of southern Germany. Some journeys don’t just cross distance, they cross into something else entirely. Step into the strange with us, where forgotten rituals and restless memories still walk beside the living.

In this haunting episode of Monday Mailtime, Producer Dom unpacks two unsettling stories where calm waters and seaside air conceal something far more sinister. First, Tom takes us to the tranquil Lake District, where a peaceful boat ride turns eerie when a mysterious patch of ripples, a sudden drop in temperature, and a ghostly sigh suggest someone, or something, beneath the surface hasn't let go of the past. A single wet footprint on the jetty hints at a lingering presence tied to a tragic summer storm from decades ago. Then, Demi recounts a quiet evening stroll along Brighton Pier that spirals into the uncanny. Strange knocking sounds beneath the boards, an unnatural gust of cold air, and the scent of wet rope and smoke all point to a hidden history below the tide. Locals whisper of lost deckhands and sunken structures, but could they still be reaching out from beneath the waves? Two stories. Two bodies of water. One chilling question: what happens when the past refuses to stay submerged? A Create Podcast Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this week’s Monday Mailtime, Producer Dom unpacks two unsettling listener stories from the Scottish countryside—where the landscapes are ancient, the ruins are haunted, and even the trains might have passengers you can't see. First, Mark recounts a terrifying moment during a summer hike near Inverness, where a ruined stone cottage became the stage for a ghostly presence—complete with freezing air, invisible footsteps, and the chilling scrape of unseen fingers across stone. Then, Sam shares a strange and quiet haunting aboard a train to Edinburgh, where an empty seat felt occupied and ghostly hands may have tried to leave a message on his notepad. Was it just the chill of a Scottish summer—or something left behind from the line’s tragic past? Haunted cottages, spectral train companions, and the kind of silence that listens back—tune in as Dom dives into these atmospheric encounters that prove Scotland's ghosts travel just as far as its legends.

In this haunting episode of Paranormal Activity, Producer Dom reacts to two spine-tingling listener stories where the past seems to walk, literally, beside the living. First, Daniel recounts a visit to an ancient cliffside chapel in northern Spain, where the air turned heavy and footsteps echoed through empty aisles. As the chapel door slammed shut behind them, Daniel and his partner were left wondering if the souls of lost sailors still roam those sacred walls. Then, Emma shares a chilling encounter on a lonely beach in Cornwall. What began as a peaceful sunset walk turned into a nightmare of invisible footprints and a tide that moved with eerie intent. Was it just the sea… or something waiting beneath it? Two stories. Two sets of ghostly footsteps. One unsettling question: Who? Or what is following? A Create Podcast Hosted on Acast.

First, Chloe recounts a harrowing evening in her university’s Victorian-era library, specifically the top floor nicknamed The Crying Room. What starts as a quiet study session turns chilling when unseen weeping fills the air and books begin to slide from the shelves… on their own. The explanation she later receives only makes things worse. Then, Rachel shares a mysterious encounter in an old Liverpool community center that once served as a Victorian school. While helping her aunt clean up after an event, a dusty piano begins playing itself. Slow, deliberate notes echoing across the empty hall. Her aunt’s cryptic response only deepens the mystery.
