MONDAY MAILTIME: The Thing Beneath My Flight & The Object That Keeps Coming Home
Paranormal Activity with Yvette FieldingShow Notes
Two listeners. Two encounters with something vast and ancient. One that couldn't see them, and one that wouldn't leave.
On a red-eye over the dark, Eshaan slips into the space between waking and sleep and the cabin vanishes. He's suspended in open black with something enormous moving slowly beneath him. It doesn't reach for him. It doesn't threaten him. It simply doesn't notice him, he's too small, too brief to register. And he realises he's been passing over it on every flight he's ever taken.
Then Luca comes home to a small, dense object on his kitchen counter that he never put there, warm from within, like a heartbeat without rhythm. He throws it away. Buries it. Posts it to a false address. Every morning it's back in the same spot. Until the night he stops fighting it, and something in his chest settles into place, and he understands it was always his.
Producer Dom unpacks the dark folklore: the Sumerian Abzu and the Hindu serpent on which all reality rests, the Aboriginal Dreaming that never ended, the Shinto objects bound to a person before birth, and the Andean huaca that always finds its keeper.
What happens when the thing you can't get rid of… was a part of you all along?

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.
