MONDAY MAILTIME: The Doll That Answered Back & The Ground My Dogs Won't Cross
Paranormal Activity with Yvette FieldingShow Notes
Two listeners. Two encounters with something that reached out. One through a child, one through the land itself.
Bronwen's five-year-old is given an old hand-stitched doll from a neighbour's late mother, names it Sally, and invents "the answering game." Soon Anya is describing a life no child could invent: a coal stove, a copper washtub, a baby brother who "went in the ground." Then Bronwen hears two voices from the room where her daughter plays alone.
Then Dale, a Colorado rancher, has kept a dozen dogs that all refuse to cross the same invisible line near an old rise on his land. When drought pushes him to dig there, the third scoop brings up small bones, laid with care. That night, he and his wife hear faint singing from the hollow for one night, then never again in thirty years.
Producer Dom unpacks the folklore: the handmade doll that becomes a lodging for a child's soul, and the burial ground that dogs read long before any spade confirms it.
What happens when the thing reaching out isn't a threat… just something that wants to be heard?

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.
