Summary

This Halloween, Paranormal Activity with Yvette Fielding invites you to turn off the lights and step into the shadows for a special night of ghost stories.


Join Yvette as she tells two chilling tales guaranteed to send shivers down your spine.


First, the legend of The Gorbals Vampire, a dark, blood-soaked story rising from the misty graveyards of Glasgow; and then, The Back Room, a terrifying modern haunting where something sinister waits just beyond the doorway.


Both stories blur the line between folklore and fear, between what’s imagined… and what’s waiting in the dark.


So light a candle, settle in, and prepare yourself because this Halloween, Paranormal Activity is taking you somewhere you may not return from.
