Paranormal Activity with Yvette Fielding

Two listeners. Two encounters with something owed a share and what happens when the debt goes unpaid. Merryn, a Jersey fisherwoman, breaks the one rule her father was fierce about: never count the catch aloud at sea. Within minutes, fog rolls in from a clear sky, and something heavy circles the boat just out of sight. Her father calmly puts his three best fish back into the water, murmurs in the o...

A disused courthouse and police station in Accrington. The gates are locked from the inside and only two men are in the building. Then the doors start slamming. Footsteps run down empty corridors, and voices echo through the courtrooms. For forty minutes they chase the noise, convinced someone has broken in. Then they come back to find the camera and tripod they left in a corner have vanished. For...

Two listeners. Two encounters with something that refused to abandon its post. On a quiet practice night in a 15th-century Cornish tower, Elowen and two fellow ringers sit with their tea. Every rope tied off, every bell hanging dead still and unable to sound. Then the tenor, cast in 1683, rings one enormous stroke. From the sealed chamber above come slow, deliberate footsteps. The next morning she...

We’re taught that science and the séance room are enemies. Cold reason on one side; candles, trances and table-tipping on the other. But that is not the whole story. This week, Yvette Fielding and her paranormal partner in crime Karl Beattie go somewhere they’ve never taken you before: not a ruined castle or a cold, empty asylum, but inside the minds of the men who built the modern world. The ones...

Two listeners. Two encounters with something that reached out. One through a child, one through the land itself. Bronwen's five-year-old is given an old hand-stitched doll from a neighbour's late mother, names it Sally, and invents "the answering game." Soon Anya is describing a life no child could invent: a coal stove, a copper washtub, a baby brother who "went in the groun...

375 files. 5 tranches. The Pentagon still can't explain any of them. A fighter jet shot down an unknown object over the Great Lakes. 4 objects flew in formation over Iran with no visible propulsion. The CIA tracked a disc with rotating lights over Zimbabwe and reported it to the White House. A nuclear weapons plant went into lockdown over a silent, diamond-shaped craft. And a triangle the size...

Two listeners. Two encounters that live on in objects — a photograph, and a clock. Sorting her late grandmother's photos, Georgia keeps finding the same woman: at the edge of a 1911 wedding, in a 1950s Christmas, at the back of her own 1982 christening. Same age. Same dark coat, always half-turned, never named. And her grandmother's lifelong saying suddenly lands: "Count everyone in.&...

This week, Yvette Fielding takes Paranormal Activity to a bog-standard street in Wombwell, South Yorkshire, and through a little front door that opens into something extraordinary: the Old Bank House, a former Victorian bank now packed floor to ceiling with the strange, the sinister and the downright unsettling. From the outside it's a flat above a shop. Inside, it's a Tardis: two floors o...

Two listeners. Two encounters with something older than any ghost. A bargain, and a journey that never ended. On the family land near Ballycastle stands a lone hawthorn over a spring, and Fiona's family has kept the same rule for generations: never cut it, and every May tie a strip of cloth to its branch and leave milk at its roots. Nobody remembers why. Then her cousin brings a chainsaw to it...

Yvette Fielding is back with five of your strangest, most spine-chilling stories, and this month they range from the comical to the genuinely unnerving. Two orbs caught on a home camera as a glowing light drifts toward the window — what did our listener really capture? A ghost hunt at a Lancaster hall where a spinning glass flies off the table and shatters, a ball of white light glides down a stai...

Two listeners. Two encounters that bent the rules. One of time, one of a single life. On a dark road above Aberystwyth in 1994, Gareth pulls over to watch a silent amber light hang motionless over the valley. Then it slides sideways in two seconds across a distance that would take a car ten minutes and stops dead, the way nothing with real weight can. The next thing he knows, forty minutes are gon...

This is what you're missing. Every Saturday over on the Supercast , Yvette sits down and tells you a proper ghost story. No investigation, no crew, just her and a tale to make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up and this week, we're letting you in on one. In the winter of 1913, a rumour tore through the tenement streets of Chicago. Behind the walls of Hull House, something was being kept h...

We think we know what a coma is. The lights go off. Nobody's home. A blank, a gap, a nothing, until the machines bring you back. This week, Yvette Fielding and her paranormal partner in crime Karl Beattie go somewhere they've never taken you before: not a ruined castle or a cold, empty asylum, but inside the sealed-off human mind. Because the people who've been there and come back tell a very diff...

Two listeners. Two brushes with a threshold. One at a deathbed, one in a fold of time itself. In the last three days of her life, Priya's nani begins talking to people who aren't there: not frightened, but delighted. She greets her mother, her sister, and names an infant brother who died in India seventy years ago, a child the family had to phone across the world to confirm ever existed. On the fi...

This week, Yvette Fielding takes Paranormal Activity out of the studio and behind the towering red-brick walls of Shrewsbury Prison, one of Britain's most haunted buildings. Live and on location, Yvette moves through the wings, holding cells and the chilling executioner's room, gathering the raw, unfiltered experiences of the brave souls who've come to hunt for ghosts alongside her. From first-tim...

Two listeners. Two encounters with missing time and the old folklore that explains where it went. Driving home sober from a wedding on a quiet Welsh A-road, Bethan rounds a bend she knows well and the world goes silent: engine, tyres, radio, all muted at once. The colour drains out. The air turns thick and grey. A tall, still figure watches from a farm gate. Then she's suddenly five miles further...

Three stars in a near-perfect line. Three pyramids in Egypt. Three more in Mexico. An ocean and thousands of years apart, pressed into the earth in the very same pattern. Two ancient peoples who could never have spoken, somehow building the same map of the same sky. A theory that turns the world's greatest monuments into a message. A dating problem that reaches back twelve thousand years. And a wh...

Two listeners. Two hauntings that weren't asking to be heard, they were asking to be let in. Callum lives alone in an 1890s Aberdeen tenement when the knocking starts: always three slow knocks, always on the internal hallway wall with nothing behind it. It only knocks when he's in the hall and it seems to want him to answer. One night he knocks back. It replies instantly, right under his hand. The...

August 1914, the retreat from Mons. Exhausted British soldiers, outnumbered and about to be annihilated, look up to see shining figures in the sky between them and the German guns. Somehow, impossibly, the army escapes. And the first great ghost story of the modern age is born. This week, Yvette Fielding investigates five hauntings from five wars, across five corners of the world. The angels of Mo...

Two listeners. Two hauntings that don't want to scare you — they want you to join them. Sarah is hoovering the top floor of a converted woollen mill when she hears a loom running in an empty room. She switches off to listen and it stops dead. Then it starts again, louder, right behind her, and the temperature drops so fast she can see her breath. Her supervisor goes quiet: a young woman died at on...

Yvette Fielding is back with five of your strangest, most spine-chilling stories, and this month they range from the eerie to the downright inexplicable. A woman wakes to her mother screaming her name for help… but the house is dark, everyone's asleep, and her mum never calls her Lisa. Was it a mimic? A soldier whose lifetime of terror traces back to one night at age eight, when a six-foot pink ra...

Two listeners. Two gentle hauntings. And the old folklore that reveals what they really were. Gemma's 1880s terrace near Whitby Abbey came with a presence they called the Captain: pipe tobacco by the window, wardrobe doors opening slow and deliberate like someone choosing what to wear, keys vanishing for a week. Then her partner wakes to a dark figure on the end of the bed, back turned. Not fright...

We think we know where ghosts live. The crumbling castle. The abandoned asylum. This week, Yvette Fielding and her paranormal partner in crime Karl Beattie throw out the guidebook entirely. Because the strangest hauntings aren't in stately homes with a costumed guide and a gift shop. They're in the places you pass through without a second thought, lit by strip-lights and smelling faintly of disinf...

Two listeners. Two classic hauntings. And the old folklore that explains them. Sophie's 1840s Hexham cottage came with more than original features: pipe tobacco at teatime, washing folded half-heartedly like someone tried and gave up, and a weight on the end of the bed at half three. Then a village plumber asks, unprompted, whether they've had "any bother with the back bedroom." Then Aaron works n...

August 1981, a small house in Lee, Massachusetts. A sixteen-year-old boy sits alone in the dark, in a room where something has already knocked a grown woman unconscious. Behind his head, inside the wall, something is clawing and growling. This week, Yvette Fielding is joined by Chris McKinnell. The grandson of Ed and Lorraine Warren, the couple behind Amityville, Annabelle and the entire Conjuring...
