Paranormal Activity with Yvette Fielding

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.

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.

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.

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 anywhere.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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?
