Short Haunts - A Medium Most Haunted

A sceptic sits down with a medium.The reading begins with guesswork, vague names and familiar tricks.Then something changes.In this Short Haunt, Rachael shares a deeply unusual account of childhood, grief, scepticism and one encounter that still refuses to fit any ordinary explanation. As a child, she believed she saw her grandmother’s deceased ginger cat, Poppet, sitting at the window as if nothing had changed. Years later, as her grandmother was dying, Rachael asked for a sign — something unmistakable, something only the two of them would understand.That sign may have arrived in the most unexpected place: inside the home of a medium Rachael believed was exploiting a vulnerable friend. What began as a test of cold reading and fortune-telling suddenly turned into something far more personal, when the medium appeared to speak in Rachael’s grandmother’s voice, using a private childhood phrase and a name no one else in the room should have known.Calm, intimate and quietly astonishing, this is a story about scepticism, memory, love after death, and the unsettling possibility that sometimes the most convincing paranormal evidence arrives when you’re least willing to believe it.Enjoyed the episode?
