Paranormal Activity with Yvette Fielding

The most studied, most surveilled, most argued-over patch of land on the planet is back, The Skinwalker Ranch, and this week we're doing something different with it. We've already done the deep dive: the Shermans, the bloodless cattle, the blue orbs, the shape-shifting wolf. So this is the 2026 update. What's been caught since? And crucially, what are the people with nothing to sell actually sayin...

Two listeners. Two encounters with something that revealed itself only when it chose to. Noor photographs her dog one warm night. The next morning she spots it in the frame: a tall, impossibly narrow figure at the edge of the dark, head tilted toward the camera. Her dog never reacted. And every time she looks, the feeling isn't fear, it's that the figure waited for her to raise the phone, and want...

Eight victims. Six of them children. One axe. A house that never stopped remembering. In 1912, an entire family and two little girls were bludgeoned to death in their beds. The killer waited in the attic, covered every mirror, left a slab of bacon by the bodies, and vanished into the dawn. Never caught. Never solved. Now: children's laughter from empty rooms. Footsteps circling a child's bed. Obje...

Two listeners. Two encounters with something that didn't haunt them, it processed them. Dara finds a mark on her arm one ordinary afternoon: geometric, precise, painless. It wasn't there that morning. Over five days it sinks back into his skin, but on the third night something pulls deep inside him, and one word arrives like it was placed there: inventory. Then Maren is making tea at 2am, days aft...

Yvette Fielding is back with five of your spookiest stories, and some unforgettable ones of her own. A bathroom ghost that runs the taps. A black car that pixelates and vanishes into thin air. A medieval castle hiding under a housing estate. A spirit that made one listener vomit. And the night-shift nurse visited by a patient who dissolved into mist, leaving only his dressing gown belt behind. Plu...

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 sh...

Author and paranormal investigator Max Storey joins Yvette to discuss The Unquiet Journals, his debut collection of seven paranormal short stories, each one rooted in real experience. Max reveals the terrifying encounter that started it all, the local legend that inspired a sea hag story, and the Monday Mailtime listener tale that ended up in a published book. Plus: haunted castles, unexplained si...

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 Wels...

Trump opened the UFO vault. 162 secret files. 80 years of unexplained encounters. Astronauts seeing things near the Moon they couldn't identify. Objects making impossible turns. Alleged Nazi flying saucers. And a former president casually confirming aliens are real. Yvette and friend of show, Glen Hunt go through it all on this week's episode of Paranormal Activity. The files, the fakes, the cover...

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...

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 fiel...

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 insi...

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...

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...

It's time for our May listener special! This month you've sent in some truly spine-tingling encounters, and Yvette is here to get stuck into every one of them. Jane shares the beautiful moment her late mum came to visit her newborn baby in the night. Holly-Ann takes us inside her 200-year-old haunted home, where a white lady watches her work and a terrifying presence once warned her not to open he...

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...

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...

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 becam...

Bones thrown at her in Bamburgh Castle. Wet herself with fright. Woke up crying at Pendle Hill with no memory of what happened. This week, Karl Beattie raids your questions from Facebook, emails, and live events and Yvette answers everything. The scariest places, the preparation rituals, the evidence that made headlines, the demons she does (and doesn't) believe in, and why she'd still go back any...

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 — s...

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 s...

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 hi...

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....

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. Fo...

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 s...
