YVETTE INVESTIGATES: Peter Sellers & The Dark Truth Behind His Paranormal Obsession
Paranormal Activity with Yvette FieldingShow Notes
Peter Sellers was one of the most famous men on the planet.
He was also one of the most genuinely, deeply paranormal figures of the 20th century, and almost nobody knows the full story.
This week Yvette Fielding investigates the extraordinary and haunting truth behind the legend.
A clairvoyant so powerful that Hollywood producers bribed him to influence Sellers' decisions. A near-death experience that left him convinced he'd made a personal deal with death itself. A Victorian ghost who allegedly guided his greatest performances from beyond the grave. And a desperate, decades-long search through séances and mediums to find his dead mother.
This isn't a story about a celebrity with quirky superstitions.
This is a story about a man who handed his entire life over to the paranormal and what it cost him.
The séances were real. The obsession was real. And the tragedy was inevitable.

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.
