MONDAY MAILTIME: The Mound That Watched Me & The Museum Corpse That Knew My Name
Paranormal Activity with Yvette FieldingShow Notes
Two listeners.
Two encounters with the dead that refused to stay buried.
And one terrifying thread connecting them both. Harrison doesn't scare easily, six years of night shifts, no startle reflex. So why did standing at the mouth of a 5,000-year-old burial mound leave him certain that something deep in the dark had turned to face him… and was waiting to see what he'd do?
Then Miriam takes us inside Harvard's Peabody Museum at 2am. A man pulled from the earth outside Ur a century ago. Catalogued. Displayed. Waiting. And one night, something stepped to her shoulder and made it clear it had known her all along.
No bangs. No shadows. Just the unbearable sense of being assessed by something with all the time in the world.
Producer Dom unpacks the dark folklore beneath it all: the Norse mound-dweller fed by a thousand years of fear, the Mesopotamian eṭemmu taking inventory of the living, and the chilling idea that for the trapped dead, time doesn't pass… it compresses.
What happens when something that's waited a hundred years finally decides you're worth knowing?

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.
