Paranormal Activity with Yvette Fielding

Two listeners. Two encounters with what comes when you break the old rules.

On Orkney, Isla’s grandmother laid a meal each winter for “the ones the sea kept.” The year her uncle refused, he woke to wet footsteps dripping across the floor, searching the kitchen. By morning: four scratches gouged down the door.

Then Beau, a Louisiana crawfisherman, follows a warm light over the night water until a voice calls him back by name. Her father’s voice, three years dead. The light turns pale and gives chase, wailing.

Producer Dom unpacks the folklore: the drowned who come home hungry, and the swamp lure that baits the living with a light home.

An ordinary semi-detached house in Pontefract. No castle, no prison, just a family home. The team has only just walked through the front door when it starts. A crucifix is pushed off a windowsill in a room with only one man inside. Then, in a bedroom they’ve just left, they find the drawer pulled open and a child’s bouncy ball balanced perfectly on its half-inch edge, as if something is holding it there.

The Most Haunted team are back around the table, and this week Stuart, Glen and Karl finally reveal their favourite investigations of all time.

Stuart takes us back to 30 East Drive, the house that left every one of them with scars.
Glen remembers Croxteth Hall, where wine bottles launch themselves off cellar shelves, a bed moves a foot with five people sitting on it, and old pennies drop out of thin air.
Karl returns to Michelham Priory, where it all began. There, a lighting rig crossed a room in total silence, and a visitor complained that a member of the team had ignored her at the bottom of the stairs, when that team member was somewhere else entirely.

Yvette relives the night she ran screaming from the most haunted room at the Stanley Hotel in Colorado, the hotel that inspired The Shining.

Stuart and Karl tell the story of the white figure they chased down a corridor, which vanished at a locked door.

Glen explains why Greg’s apparition, caught walking through a grid of laser dots, may be the most remarkable footage Most Haunted has ever captured.

Then come your questions, from the night everyone got strangled at Pendle Hill to the pitch-black cellars beneath Denbigh asylum.

When objects move, are they being carried, or dematerialised and rebuilt somewhere else?
Why are some apparitions partly solid and partly not?
Is the stranger you pass on a dark road always who you think they are?
And how many ghosts have we already walked past without ever knowing?

Listen, and decide for yourself.

Two listeners. Two encounters with something owed a share and what happens when the debt goes unpaid.

Merryn, a Jersey fisherwoman, breaks the one rule her father was fierce about: never count the catch aloud at sea. Within minutes, fog rolls in from a clear sky, and something heavy circles the boat just out of sight. Her father calmly puts his three best fish back into the water, murmurs in the old island tongue and the moment the third goes over, the sound stops and the fog lifts.

Then Wyatt, a Kansas farmer, always leaves a small patch of the last field uncut — “the old one’s share.” The year a hired man cuts it, a dry rustling like wind through wheat moves through his barn, then his walls. His six-year-old describes “the tall man made of straw” at the foot of his bed, dripping grain, real grains found on the floor each morning.

Producer Dom unpacks the folklore: the owner of the sea that claims any catch declared aloud over its water, and the corn spirit driven homeless when the last stalk falls.
What happens when the oldest tenant of the land or sea comes to collect its share?

A disused courthouse and police station in Accrington. The gates are locked from the inside and only two men are in the building. Then the doors start slamming. Footsteps run down empty corridors, and voices echo through the courtrooms. For forty minutes they chase the noise, convinced someone has broken in. Then they come back to find the camera and tripod they left in a corner have vanished.

For more than twenty years, a small band of brave, loyal and slightly bonkers people have followed Yvette Fielding into the most frightening buildings in the world. This week, for the first time, she hands them the microphone. Producer and director Karl Beattie, sound man Darren, cameraman Greg Smith, investigator Stuart and open-minded sceptic Glen Hunt gather around a table with a few stories of its own. They talk about something breathing in their ears at the Leopard Inn, with nowhere left to run.

They remember a wheelchair smashing across a corridor and a death rattle Glen can still hear to this day. Yvette is shoved back and forth in the human pendulum. A huge iron table floats, and a wooden floor rolls like waves beneath their feet. And there’s the chair that very nearly took Glen’s head clean off.

There’s laughter, a very windy dog called Watson, and the question the team still can’t settle: is something in these buildings listening to them, and choosing its target?

Why does it always seem to happen when the Most Haunted team walk in?
Is it 100% belief, pushing out an energy something can feed on?
Psychokinesis from the living, gathered around a table?
Or something in the dark that’s independent, intelligent and capable of choosing who it comes for?

Listen, and decide for yourself.

Two listeners. Two encounters with something that refused to abandon its post.

On a quiet practice night in a 15th-century Cornish tower, Elowen and two fellow ringers sit with their tea. Every rope tied off, every bell hanging dead still and unable to sound. Then the tenor, cast in 1683, rings one enormous stroke. From the sealed chamber above come slow, deliberate footsteps. The next morning she finds a track drawn through years of undisturbed dust from the bell to the trapdoor.

Then Marnie, granddaughter of one of Lake Superior’s last lighthouse keepers, keeps getting calls about a glow in the old lamp room. A room with no lamp, no power, nothing to burn for sixty years. It shows only on the black, dangerous nights. Her grandfather swore he’d die before he let that light go dark. An old-timer who knew him: “I don’t think dying changed his mind.”

Producer Dom unpacks the folklore: the named bell owed her voice, the tower captain who never came off watch, and the keeper bound to light the drowned home.

What happens when the dead don’t haunt a place… they just refuse to stop doing their duty?
