A spooky Halloween special, we talk to the wonderful Paul Cowmeadow, who has been immersed in the paranormal and occult since his teenage years. Since then, he has been on a journey of discovery, both of himself and of the unknown and magical world of the paranormal and high strangeness. 

Listen to the interview where he tells us how he was chosen by a haunted doll named Peggy, how he has found proof of the other side,  how he was attached by spirit in a jail, leaving him with two years of damage to his body and was attacked by "Mr No Face" in his own home and much more.  

We hope you enjoy this fascinating interview on the Fortean News Podcast and find out about Paul's work below:
