MONDAY MAILTIME: The Loom That Runs For The Dead & The Lodger Who Wants Her Bed Back
Paranormal Activity with Yvette FieldingShow Notes
Two listeners. Two hauntings that don't want to scare you — they want you to join them.
Sarah is hoovering the top floor of a converted woollen mill when she hears a loom running in an empty room. She switches off to listen and it stops dead. Then it starts again, louder, right behind her, and the temperature drops so fast she can see her breath. Her supervisor goes quiet: a young woman died at one of the looms in the 1880s.
Then Marcus and his brother renovate an 1850s clapboard house in Portland, Maine, with a music box that plays at dusk and a woman humming inches behind him on a locked-up afternoon. But it's his brother's night that lingers, a weight sitting down on the end of the air mattress, dipping it like a person, then rising when he turned on the light. A seamstress had lived and died there in the 1870s.
Producer Dom unpacks the darker folklore: the "un-ended" bound to the work they never finished, laying the loom for a second pair of hands and the New England "lodger" who keeps her habits, her song, and above all her bed, waiting for the room to empty again.
What happens when the ghost doesn't want you gone… it wants you in its place?

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.
