MONDAY MAILTIME: It Sat On The End Of My Bed & It Walked Through Locked Doors

Two listeners. Two classic hauntings. And the old folklore that explains them.Sophie's 1840s Hexham cottage came with more than original features: pipe tobacco at teatime, washing folded half-heartedly like someone tried and gave up, and a weight on the end of the bed at half three. Then a village plumber asks, unprompted, whether they've had "any bother with the back bedroom."Then Aaron works night security in a converted Victorian school. A corridor colder than the rest, every night. Chairs dragging on carpet that can't make that sound. And one February night, a person-shaped figure crossing the third-floor camera — behind doors he had the only keys to.Producer Dom unpacks the folklore: the revenant that returns as habit, the hob that copies work without understanding it, the mara that sits and presses, and the walker who doesn't use doors.What happens when the house doesn't want to frighten you… just to say goodnight?A Create Podcast Hosted on Acast.
