Summary
In this week's Monday Mailtime, Producer Dom returns with two unnerving listener stories that prove the paranormal doesn’t just live in haunted houses, it hides in the everyday.
First, Michelle takes us deep into the stillness of Epping Forest, where a peaceful walk turns into a silent game of follow-the-leader with… something unseen.
The trees move without wind.
The footsteps stop when hers do.
And whatever was behind her?
She still refuses to look back.
Then, Izzy shares a disturbing encounter with a mirror that never stays where it’s placed. In a quiet Manchester bedroom, the shifting of glass across carpet signals something far from explainable—and far too close for comfort.
Two stories. Two very different places. But both raise the same chilling question: what happens when the ordinary turns to otherworldly, and no one else is around to see it?

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome back to Monday Mail Time on the Paranormal Activity podcast with me, producer Dom, where we dive into your experiences and your stories. |
| 0:08.4 | So, without further ado, let's dive into that mailbag for our first story of today's episode. |
| 0:14.7 | And this story comes from Michelle. |
| 0:17.1 | Hi, team. I've never told this story out loud, but your podcast feels the right place for it. |
| 0:21.2 | Certainly is, Michelle. A few years ago, I was visiting a cousin who lives near Epping Forest in the UK. It was late afternoon, not dark yet, but a kind of lie where everything looks like a little washed down, quiet. My cousin had gone to meet a friend, so I decided to take a short walk along one of the marked footpaths. It was peaceful at first, just trees and the crunch of leaves under my boots. |
| 0:40.2 | About 20 minutes in, I noticed. so I decided to take a short walk along one of the marked footpaths. It was peaceful at first, |
| 0:37.8 | just trees and the crunch of leaves under my boots. About 20 minutes in, I noticed silence. |
| 0:42.8 | Not just ordinary quiet, more like the forest itself was holding still. No birds, no rustling, |
| 0:48.0 | nothing. It felt wrong in a way I couldn't explain. I was about to turn back when I heard |
| 0:53.2 | something behind me, footsteps, light ones, precise, matching my pace. |
| 0:58.0 | I stopped. |
| 0:59.0 | I walked again. |
| 1:00.0 | They followed. |
| 1:02.0 | I thought someone else must be out on the trail, but when I looked around, the path was |
| 1:06.0 | completely empty. |
| 1:07.0 | I checked in every direction, nothing, just trees in the fading light. |
| 1:11.6 | Trying not to panic, I kept walking, faster now. The footsteps did the same, not running, |
| 1:16.6 | not dragging, just calmly following, like some are strolling a few steps behind me. |
| 1:20.6 | Then things got stranger. The path ahead of me was clear, but the trees to my right began to sway, |
| 1:25.6 | even though there was no wind. Just one section of them moving a slow, deliberate rhythm. Almost like something's passing through them. As the motion got closer, the footsteps behind me stopped, and the forest went dead still again. I don't know what came over me, but I felt this overwhelming urge not to look back. Like, if I did, something would be sadly there that I wasn't meant to see. So I just kept going forward, walking as steady as I could until I reached the main road. |
| 1:49.2 | The moment my boots hit the pavement, the normal sounds of the world came back. Cars in the |
| 1:52.9 | distance, people talking, a dog barking somewhere far off, all totally ordinary like nothing |
