YVETTE & KARL INVESTIGATE: The Weirdest Haunted Locations Around The World
Paranormal Activity with Yvette FieldingShow Notes
We think we know where ghosts live. The crumbling castle. The abandoned asylum. This week, Yvette Fielding and her paranormal partner in crime Karl Beattie throw out the guidebook entirely.
Because the strangest hauntings aren't in stately homes with a costumed guide and a gift shop. They're in the places you pass through without a second thought, lit by strip-lights and smelling faintly of disinfectant. So this week we're chasing the ghosts nobody expects, in the five most ordinary places on Earth.
Yvette and Karl visit a public toilet, a car park, a McDonald's, a drained swimming pool and a Tokyo back-alley, and ask the question that unsettles believer and sceptic alike: why does the mundane so often become the most haunted?
You'll hear five hauntings the guidebooks leave out Frodsham Street, Chester — a working public loo home to "Tom," named by the local press as one of the city's most disturbing ghosts Mount Pleasant, Liverpool — a multi-storey car park, and a whole street locals swear has always felt wrong, banshee and all Cuero, Texas — a fully operational McDonald's built over a former garage, where the fridge runs itself and the toilets flush in empty rooms RMS Queen Mary, Long Beach — a bone-dry Art Deco pool where people still hear splashing and find small, wet footprints Akihabara, Tokyo — the Horror Vending Machine Corner, where the dread comes from the machines themselves
Then the big question: why here? Why the toilet, the car park, the burger joint? The believer's answer — the dead stay where they died, whatever we build on top The "it's the land, not the walls" theory The sceptic's cold water — bad lighting, hard surfaces, and a brain built to sense a watcher in an empty room Plus this week's Fact or Fiction, and Yvette and Karl's own verdict on what really lingers in the ordinary

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.
