YVETTE INVESTIGATES: Two Floors of Absolute Insanity at the Old Bank House
Paranormal Activity with Yvette FieldingShow Notes
This week, Yvette Fielding takes Paranormal Activity to a bog-standard street in Wombwell, South Yorkshire, and through a little front door that opens into something extraordinary: the Old Bank House, a former Victorian bank now packed floor to ceiling with the strange, the sinister and the downright unsettling.
From the outside it's a flat above a shop. Inside, it's a Tardis: two floors of pure Victorian menace, where dark red walls crowd in on death masks, spirit photographs, a real lead-lined coffin and hundreds upon hundreds of dolls, all watching.
Yvette takes you through the house room by room, then sits down with owners Ria & Matt Readman to separate the stories she's inherited from the things she's seen with her own eyes. The dolls named William and Billy, said to move on their own A hatchet that tilted on the wall while the team stood talking Guests scratched by unseen hands, describing a burning sensation that comes first A crawl space so sinister that paramedics have reportedly been called And then there's the teddy bear in the miners' room. The one that kept moving when no one was looking. This week, Karl was there. And Karl saw it happen.
Lock the door, mind the crawl space, and whatever you do, don't turn your back on the dolls.

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.
