Workers tried to ignore it... but before long, lights were exploding in their sockets, strange electrical surges were bursting through the building and huge objects were coming to life and moving around the office. Was this the wrath of an angry poltergeist? And if so, why did the paranormal activity only take place from 9-5?

China is home to innumerable paranormal entities, from ghosts and ancient spirits to cryptids and UFO encounters, but one entity stands out in notoriety far beyond the others — The Yeren. The Yeren has been sighted and discussed in texts for thousands of years, but many people in modern times believe it to be mostly legend. But if that’s the case, why did the Chinese Communist Party spend millions of dollars in the 1970s trying to track down and then cover up the existence of the Yeren? This is the the rarely heard story of a cryptid finding itself at the centre of a political struggle — China’s most wanted cryptid.

The Yeti is one of the most famous cryptids of all time. It is claimed to have been stalking the Himalayas for thousands of years, undetected by science due to the extreme conditions of it’s natural habitat. But while mainstream science doesn’t yet acknowledge the Yeti, the local Nepalese people are certain of its existence. Not only that, but the mountaineers who dare to climb Mount Everest have even photographed its footprints.

To celebrate episode 400 Kit and Rory are reinvestigating Atlantis, one of the holy grails of the paranormal world, and crucially the first ever ‘yes’ on This Paranormal Life. Many years have passed since that recording and new evidence has come to light, begging the question: is it still a ‘yes? Episode four was also the first episode that they were drunk during the recording. So for episode 400 they have painstakingly recreated the original recording conditions…
