MONDAY MAILTIME: It Sat On The End Of My Bed & It Walked Through Locked Doors
Paranormal Activity with Yvette FieldingShow Notes
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?

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.
