Summary

In this haunting Monday Mailtime episode of Paranormal Activity, Producer Dom unpacks two spine-tingling listener stories that take us deep into the heart of the English countryside, and even deeper into the unexplained.


First, Georgia recounts her quiet moment inside a medieval church in the Cotswolds… until the silence was broken by a ghostly organ note and a chill that settled in the empty pew beside her. Was it the 19th-century choirmaster said to haunt the chapel? Or something older still, buried in the stone?


Then, Luke shares an unsettling experience on a lonely train platform in the north of England. What started as the sound of a crying child turned into a chilling encounter with a wartime tragedy that echoes into the present. The worst part? He wasn’t the first to hear it.


Grab your headphones, turn down the lights, and prepare for two stories that prove some presences never truly leave.

Hello and welcome back to Monday Mail Time on the Paranormal Activity podcast with me, producer Dom,

0:06.5

where we dive into your experiences and your stories. So about further ado, let's dive into the mailbag for our first story of today's episode.

This comes from Georgia. Hi, I wanted to share an experience I had while visiting a small village in the Cotswolds.

I was there on a walking holiday and one afternoon I ducked into an old stone church to rest

of worship, dusty hymnals, uneven flagstone floors, and walls just seemed to breathe history.

I sat near the back, soaking in the quiet

really. After a few minutes I noticed something odd, a cold breeze, but only around the pew

0:44.6

beside me. No doors are open and the stained glass windows were sealed tight. The air

had that sharp chill, the kind that fills out of place on a warm summer day. As I sat there,

0:54.6

the church organ, massive inside and up front, gave out a single low note, just one deep

and resonant echoing through the empty building. The kind of sound that makes your stomach

drop. I only jumped out of my seat, but I looked the keys weren't moving. There was nobody

near it. The strangest part, the hymnals on the pew beside me fluttered as if someone had just sat down and rustled them. I could see the pages lifting and settling, but there was no one there. I quickly left after that, heart pounding. When I asked the local about the church later, she saw that the parishioners had long spoken of a choir master who never left, an organist from the 19th

century who collapsed during a service and supposedly still keeps the music alive.

1:32.7

I don't know if that's true, but I do know I wasn't alone in that church. Something, someone,

1:38.8

was keeping time. George, I think your experience is generally spine tingling, really, and the way you describe it, you know, the cold air only around the pew, the single resonant organ note, and the fluttering hymnals.

1:50.1

It's almost cinematic.

1:52.0

You weren't just in an old church, you were in a living memory of the place, and something that very much seemed aware of your presence.

1:57.4

That feeling of not being alone is exactly what makes paranormal experiences like you are so compelling. They engage multiple senses which makes them harder to dismiss
