Paranormal Activity with Yvette Fielding

Two listeners. Two classic hauntings. And the old folklore that explains them.

Sophie's 1840s Hexham cottage came with more than original features: pipe tobacco at teatime, washing folded half-heartedly like someone tried and gave up, and a weight on the end of the bed at half three. Then a village plumber asks, unprompted, whether they've had "any bother with the back bedroom."

Then Aaron works night security in a converted Victorian school. A corridor colder than the rest, every night. Chairs dragging on carpet that can't make that sound. And one February night, a person-shaped figure crossing the third-floor camera — behind doors he had the only keys to.

Producer Dom unpacks the folklore: the revenant that returns as habit, the hob that copies work without understanding it, the mara that sits and presses, and the walker who doesn't use doors.

What happens when the house doesn't want to frighten you… just to say goodnight?

August 1981, a small house in Lee, Massachusetts. A sixteen-year-old boy sits alone in the dark, in a room where something has already knocked a grown woman unconscious. Behind his head, inside the wall, something is clawing and growling.

This week, Yvette Fielding is joined by Chris McKinnell. The grandson of Ed and Lorraine Warren, the couple behind Amityville, Annabelle and the entire Conjuring universe. But Chris isn't here to guard the legacy. He's here to question it.

He tells the stories Hollywood left out: claw marks opening on a woman's face live on air, a great-grandfather in his rearview mirror, and the untold British chapter, when Ed and Lorraine toured three thousand miles of this country's most haunted sites. And he does what almost nobody in this field will, he says where his grandparents were wrong.

A curse, a mind under strain, or consciousness surviving death? Listen, and decide for yourself.

Chris tours the UK and Ireland this September and October with The Real Conjuring.

His book, The Warren Legacy: What the Paranormal Reveals About Consciousness and Reality, is out now.

Two listeners. Two encounters with something that used the land itself as its surface.

Hester is on a Shropshire ridge she's known twenty years when the far hillside lights up with a vast geometric pattern too precise for any human hand. Then it rotates like a mechanism. Then it contracts around a single point on the opposite ridge: exactly where she's standing. She wasn't being watched. She'd become a variable in something already running.

Then Mateo feels heat through his boots on his land near Terlingua: narrow bands beneath the desert, running in straight lines. They glow amber and reconfigure, processing something. By morning the vegetation along them is dead. Five months on, it's still spreading. A metre a week, perfect right angles, heading northwest. His home is northwest.

Producer Dom unpacks the darker theories: Vallée's control system, terrain used as hardware, the Dogon patterns encoded into the earth at creation, and the fire meridians that propagate once they hit their threshold.

What happens when you're not the subject of the phenomenon… but an input it's still waiting on?

A dead man who wasn't dead. A clock a whole city remembers stopping sixteen years too early. A country thousands swear has moved.
Memories so vivid you'd swear to them in court — shared by thousands of strangers who've never met, all wrong in exactly the same way.

A logo detail everyone can picture that has never existed.
A real death wearing the wrong man's name.
Parallel universes, merged timelines, a glitch in the simulation.
And the question that follows you to bed: how much of your own past would survive being checked?

Yvette and friend of the show Glen Hunt go through it all on this week's episode of Paranormal Activity investigating 'The Mandela Effect'

The cases, the science, the theories, and what it means for everything you think you remember...

Two listeners. Two encounters with something already waiting in the low ground.

Tamsin walks a Neolithic hollow way in Dorset when the path drops deeper than the land should allow, and she sees it. A perfect black circle on the track. No depth. Clean edges. A pull that feels less like curiosity than invitation. She throws a branch and the half that crosses the line ceases to exist. The next morning: circle gone, branch whole.

Then Joaquín looks down from a mesa rim he's known his whole life and sees darkness pooled in the dry arroyo. It moves with intent. Stops directly beneath him. Then starts climbing the wall toward the rim with the patience of something that's done it a thousand times.

Producer Dom unpacks the darker theories: window areas worn thin by five thousand years of feet, lures that feel like your own idea, land that doesn't host the phenomenon but is it, and the fixation that never forgets where you stood.

What happens when something cleans up so completely that you're the only evidence left?
