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

Don where we dive into your experiences and your stories. So without further ado, let's dive into

the mailbag for our first story of today's episode. And this comes from Dan. Hiya, I'm Dan,

love the podcast. And this story happened to me about three years ago now when I was staying with a friend in Leeds. He just moved into this semi-detached house from the 1930s, nothing dramatic about it, just a regular suburban place on a quiet street. One evening, we were sitting in the living room just chatting when we heard a burst of static, not loud, more like the sound you get when someone turns an old radio dial.

Strange thing was, my friend didn't own a radio.

We looked at each other, shrugged it off and kept talking.

Then the static came again, clearer this time, followed by short melody, like one of those

cheerful little tunes from a children's toy.

We got up and traced the sound to the hallway cupboard, the one under the stairs. Inside on the top shelf was a small battery operated kids radio toy, shaped like a red bus.

My friend looked generally confused and said he'd never seen it before. He didn't have kids.

The previous owner from what he knew didn't either.

We tried turning it off, but there was no switch, just a worn-out sticker where the button used to be.

So we took the batteries out completely, but toy went silent.

That night, around midnight, woke up to a familiar tune drifting down the hallway.

The same tune. I got up, walked out, and there it was.

A little red bus toy sitting in the middle of the floor.

No batteries, no one had gone downstairs, the house was completely still.

We didn't sleep much after that.

The next morning, the cupboard again.

The next morning we checked the cupboard again,

and realised it had a faint line of child height scribbles in pencil on the inside of a door.

No drawings, just tally marks grouped in fives.
