Paranormal Activity with Yvette Fielding

In this week's Monday Mailtime, Producer Dom returns with two unnerving listener stories that prove the paranormal doesn’t just live in haunted houses, it hides in the everyday.

First, Michelle takes us deep into the stillness of Epping Forest, where a peaceful walk turns into a silent game of follow-the-leader with… something unseen.

The trees move without wind.

The footsteps stop when hers do.

And whatever was behind her?

She still refuses to look back.

Then, Izzy shares a disturbing encounter with a mirror that never stays where it’s placed. In a quiet Manchester bedroom, the shifting of glass across carpet signals something far from explainable—and far too close for comfort.

Two stories. Two very different places. But both raise the same chilling question: what happens when the ordinary turns to otherworldly, and no one else is around to see it?

This Christmas, Paranormal Activity takes a darker turn…

Join Yvette Fielding for a chilling festive special as she tells two of the most enduring and unsettling ghost stories ever whispered by candlelight.

Wrapped in winter darkness and steeped in tragedy, these are hauntings that refuse to rest no matter the season.

First, Yvette revisits The Brown Lady of Raynham Hall, one of the most famous photographic ghosts in history.

A sorrowful spirit said to roam the corridors of her Norfolk home, bound by betrayal, punishment, and a death shrouded in secrecy.

What really stalks the halls of Raynham, and why has her presence endured for centuries?

Then, across the snow-laden wilderness of Canada, we enter the grand yet ominous Banff Springs Hotel. Beneath its fairy-tale exterior lie tales of doomed brides, vanished families, and apparitions that appear when the hotel is quiet and the mountains close in.

Guests check in… but some never truly leave.

Perfect for listening by the fire, though you may want to leave a light on.

This week on Paranormal Activity, Producer Dom takes us deep into the overgrown and the unseen, as two listeners share stories of places that shouldn’t exist and maybe never did.

First, Tom from Sheffield recounts a hike in the Peak District that led him to a forgotten walled garden filled with crumbling statues… statues that moved.

What began as a peaceful moment turned surreal when stone figures shifted positions and pointed him toward an exit that vanished as quickly as it appeared.

Then, Mark brings us into a hedge maze in Cheshire that seems to breathe with its own quiet presence.

What starts as a playful wander soon twists into something much darker.

Branches that ripple without wind, a face forming in the leaves, and the unsettling realization that the maze may be watching him just as closely as he's trying to escape it.

Are these just tricks of the mind or are there places in nature where something older, stranger, and unseen still waits?

Tune in and decide for yourself.

This week on Paranormal Activity with Yvette Fielding, it’s time for our December Listener Special — and the stories you’ve sent in are some of the most unsettling, emotional, and genuinely unexplainable we’ve heard all year.

From a family haunted by a mysterious “fourth child” who shouldn’t exist, to shadowy figures prowling brand-new houses, ghostly soldiers still marching through wartime tunnels, and an abandoned signal box that briefly sprang back to life… these are encounters that have stayed with our listeners long after they happened.

Yvette is examining eerie photographs, impossible coincidences, mimicking voices, guardian spirits, Ouija messages, prophetic dreams, and the terrifying moment when unseen footsteps walk in perfect sync beside you.

This month’s stories come from Benjamin, Larina, Naomi, Anthony, and Pulama.

Each one offering a powerful reminder that the paranormal doesn’t always announce itself with fear.

Sometimes it whispers.

Sometimes it protects.

And sometimes… it follows.

So settle in, turn the lights down low, and join Yvette as she listens, reacts, and explores what might really be happening when the past refuses to stay silent.

Because these aren’t just ghost stories…

They’re your experiences.

This week on Monday Mailtime, Producer Dom unpacks two listener stories that bring new meaning to “things that go bump in the night”, especially when they’re not supposed to move at all.

First, Lewis from Manchester shares his unnerving experience during a quiet night of maintenance work at his old school, where classroom drawers began sliding open on their own… as if a certain strict former teacher was still checking for tidiness from beyond the grave.

Then, Tom recalls a chilling stay at his gran’s countryside cottage, where an old armchair by the window, once his late grandfather’s favorite spot, seemed to shift, breathe, and tap its way back into the living world. Was it just memory lingering… or something more?

These stories explore the ghosts we remember—and the ones that remember us.

Tune in if you're brave enough to listen in the dark.

This week on Paranormal Activity with Yvette Fielding, we travel to one of the most atmospheric and supernaturally charged locations in all of East Sussex… the extraordinary Michelham Priory.

Surrounded by a medieval moat and steeped in nearly 800 years of history, Michelham Priory has survived dissolution, war, famine, fire, and countless reinventions — and through it all, something seems to have stayed behind. Many things, in fact.

In this episode, Yvette explores the Priory’s long and turbulent past before diving into its most infamous hauntings:

👻 The Grey Lady who glides silently along the moat’s edge, her sorrow felt by all who see her.

👻 The Black-Hooded Monk in the Undercroft, whose dark presence chills even the bravest investigators.

👻 Rosie, the restless spirit of a young girl, and the disturbing tale of Thomas Sackville’s torment that binds her to the Priory’s shadows.

We’ll examine eyewitness accounts, whispered legends, and centuries-old stories that refuse to fade, and we’ll explore the paranormal theories that attempt to explain why Michelham Priory is regarded as one of the most haunted places in the UK.

Is it the land? The trauma? The Priory’s monastic past? Or something far older and more mysterious?

Finally, Yvette unpacks what makes locations like Michelham Priory spiritual hotspots and why its ghosts seem unable, or unwilling, to leave.

Prepare for an episode filled with history, heartbreak, and haunting encounters… because Michelham Priory is a place where the past isn’t just remembered, it walks beside you.

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.

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:

• What makes a spirit lash out?
• Are these entities angry, confused, territorial… or something far darker?
• And why do certain locations seem to amplify aggression?

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.

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.

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.
