YVETTE AND KARL TALK: Clothes & Curses - Can Objects Be Haunted?

Season 1, Ep. 191

In this chilling episode, Yvette Fielding is joined by Karl Beattie once again and this time to explore the eerie realm of haunted belongings—particularly clothing and personal items.


Could that vintage coat carry more than just a stylish history?


Are the new owners themselves unwittingly haunted, and do efforts to destroy or cleanse these objects ever truly work?


Yvette and Karl dive into the stories of garments and objects believed to be infected by restless spirits.


Tune in as they examine whether a good burn or a blessing can break these lingering bonds—or if some items are forever tethered to the supernatural.

  • MONDAY MAILTIME: The Oak Tree and The Doll

    12:34|
    This week on Monday Mailtime , Producer Dom is diving headfirst into two chilling listener stories that left us wide-eyed and unnerved.First up, Jordan recounts an encounter near an ancient oak tree in rural Wales—an experience that defies traditional ghost stories and brushes up against something far older… and far more mysterious. A pulsing blue light. A silent forest. And a presence that felt elemental, vast, and deeply aware.Then we head to Toledo, Spain, where a seemingly innocent porcelain doll purchased on holiday begins exhibiting disturbingly lifelike behavior. Footsteps in the night. Sudden temperature drops. And a shopkeeper who says, with unnerving certainty, “She always finds her way home.”You’ll want to keep the lights on for this one.A Create Podcast

    31:07||Season 1, Ep. 200
    It’s time for another Listener Special, and Yvette is back with a spine-tingling lineup of your real-life paranormal encounters — and this month’s stories might just be the most chilling yet.In this June edition, we begin with a confession years in the making from Susie, who shares a behind-the-scenes revelation from a Most Haunted investigation at the Royal Marines Museum — involving a coin, a ghostly colonel, and a perfectly timed spectral throw!Next, Rachel brings us into a deeply personal and extraordinary final chapter in her stepfather’s life, where the veil between worlds seemed to lift, revealing music, movement, and messages from beyond in the hours before his passing.Daniel then takes us to a forgotten railway station in the north of England, where an eerie steam train from the past glided silently into his lens — followed by a ghostly figure in uniform that still haunts his memories.We travel to a quiet library in rural Oxfordshire with Sam, who uncovers something (or someone) hidden behind the walls — a spirit that may not want to stay forgotten.And finally, Juliana recounts a harrowing night in an Estonian hotel room, where sleep paralysis gave way to an encounter so vivid, so terrifying, it still lingers in her mind — and left a handprint behind as proof.Grab your headphones, dim the lights, and hold someone’s hand… if you dare. 👻Have your own ghostly tale to tell?
