MONDAY MAILTIME: The Desert Thing That Jumped & The Presence Waiting For Me When I Died
Paranormal Activity with Yvette FieldingShow Notes
Two listeners. Two encounters with something that didn't just appear, it recognised them.
Tariq is hours into a midnight desert drive when a tall, dark figure appears in the road. Then it moves: centre to edge in a single jump, no crossing the distance between. His foot brakes before his mind catches up, and one instinct screams: don't look at it directly.
Then Claire describes the four minutes she was clinically dead on her kitchen floor. No tunnel. No light. Just a vast, full darkness and a presence that knew her completely, that she'd always sensed at the edge of her vision. It wanted her to stay. She still feels it alongside her.
No bangs. No shadows. Just the sense of being known by something that was waiting long before you arrived.
Producer Dom unpacks the dark folklore: forms that flicker between dimensions, the recognition principle, the Tibetan Bardo, and the Aztec god for whom death isn't an introduction: it's a reunion.
What happens when the thing waiting for you isn't a stranger… but something that's known you your whole life?

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.
