YVETTE INVESTIGATES: The Guarulhos Poltergeist - Brazil's Most Documented Haunting
Paranormal Activity with Yvette FieldingShow Notes
April 1973, a quiet suburb outside São Paulo. A twenty-one-year-old mother sits down for the first time all day, and finds the sofa beside her torn open. Nobody's there. Nobody's been there.
This week, Yvette Fielding investigates the Guarulhos Poltergeist, Brazil's most thoroughly documented haunting. Slashed furniture, falling stones, spontaneous fires, cuts appearing on skin, and a red-furred beast glimpsed by an entire family. It baffled sceptical scientists, drew in the journalist who'd later crack the Enfield case, and ended up filed inside a real CIA psychic-warfare programme.
Was it a curse, conjured by human malice and aimed at one young woman? A mind under unbearable strain? Or something we still have no name for? Listen, and decide for yourself.

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.
