MONDAY MAILTIME: The Double That's Stalked Me & The Sky Knew My Grandmother
Paranormal Activity with Yvette FieldingShow Notes
Two listeners. Two encounters that span entire lifetimes. And something that's been watching their families long before they were born.
Fran has seen it eleven times: a figure at a distance, always her height, always in her clothes, always moving toward an appointment she doesn't know about yet. Always between mid-afternoon and dusk. And the way her mother went quiet when she first described it as a child says Fran isn't the only one who's seen it.
Then Hugo watches a shape move across the night sky with a wrongness physics can't explain and knows, in his chest, that he's seen it before. Months later he finds his late grandmother's unsent letter from the 1960s. Same shape. Same wrongness. And the exact word he'd reached for: acknowledged.
No bangs. No shadows. Just the sense of being recognised by something that's known your bloodline for generations.
Producer Dom unpacks the dark folklore: the Scottish co-walker that wears your face like camouflage, the Norse fylgja that goes ahead so you follow, and the watchers said to track chosen families across centuries.
What happens when the thing following you isn't yours and was invited in long before you were born?

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.
Two listeners. Two encounters with something that refused to abandon its post.
We’re taught that science and the séance room are enemies. Cold reason on one side; candles, trances and table-tipping on the other. But that is not the whole story. This week, Yvette Fielding and her paranormal partner in crime Karl Beattie go somewhere they’ve never taken you before: not a ruined castle or a cold, empty asylum, but inside the minds of the men who built the modern world. The ones who gave us the telephone, the radio, the light bulb and the very theory of evolution — and who spent their nights in darkened rooms, straining to hear a whisper from the other side.
Two listeners. Two encounters with something that reached out. One through a child, one through the land itself.
