Summary
It’s time for another Monday Mailtime on Paranormal Activity, and Producer Dom is diving into two listener stories that feel less like coincidence… and more like something unfinished.
First, Ella takes us back to Sheffield in 2012, when she was closing down a quiet indoor ice rink late on a Sunday night.
With the lights dimmed and the building empty, the silence was broken by a sound no one should have been making.
The unmistakable scrape of skates carving across untouched ice.
As the sounds of perfect practice laps echoed around the rink, the scoreboard flickered to life and the entrance turnstiles began spinning… despite the building being completely locked.
What followed was the terrifying sound of a high-speed crash and the chilling story of a skater who died years earlier during a late-night training session.
Then Callum shares a deeply unsettling experience from a motorway service station on the M6 during a midnight stop in 2022.
What began as a routine coffee break turned strange when the motorway information board glitched and displayed a cryptic warning: “Fatal incident ahead.”
Moments later, unexplained temperature drops, empty hand dryers roaring to life, and a mysterious date appearing on the screen would send him down a rabbit hole of past tragedies linked to that exact stretch of motorway.
But the detail that still haunts him?
A speeding ticket timestamp that suggests he was driving past a camera… while he was supposedly inside the service station.
Two encounters. Two places caught between moments in time.
Join Producer Dom as he unpacks these eerie listener experiences and asks the question we always come back to: are some places simply replaying the past… or is something still trying to reach the living?

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome back to Monday Mail Time on the Paranormal Activity podcast with me, producer Dom, |
| 0:05.8 | where we dive into your experiences and your stories. |
| 0:08.4 | So without further ado, let's dive into the mailbag for our first story of today's episode, |
| 0:13.0 | and it's Conchamela. |
| 0:14.4 | This happened to me back in Sheffield over 10 years ago now. |
| 0:17.5 | I was 22 and working evenings and indoor ice ring that has since been demolished. |
| 0:22.0 | It wasn't glamorous work, just skate higher, tidying up, looking up after the final public session. |
| 0:27.5 | Sundays were always the quietest. Families gone by six, teenagers cleared out by seven. By |
| 0:32.7 | 8.30, the building felt hollow. That particular night, I was alone for the final close down. |
| 0:38.4 | The floodlights above the ice had been dimmed, leaving only the perimeter lights glowing faintly. The rinked |
| 0:43.0 | surface looked almost grey in the low light, smooth, untouched, silent even. I was behind the counter |
| 0:49.0 | logging returns when the over-ed speakers crackled, just a burst of static, then silence. I assumed it was a system |
| 0:55.1 | powering down, but a few seconds later the static returned, longer this time, for about what |
| 1:00.1 | sounded like the faint echo of music, not a recognisable song, just something warped and distant, |
| 1:05.1 | as though it was playing from underwater. I walked over to the control cabinet, the amphire |
| 1:09.2 | was switched off, completely dead. |
| 1:11.6 | Behind me the ice lights flickered once, twice, then came the first sound, the scrape. |
| 1:16.6 | Anyone who's been skating knows that sound, blades cutting into frozen surface. |
| 1:20.6 | It's sharp, deliberate, impossible to mistake. |
| 1:23.6 | I froze thinking someone had someone slipped back out there, but when I turned around, the |
| 1:28.4 | ring was empty. |
| 1:29.7 | The scrape came again, longer this time. |
