Summary
Some people encounter the paranormal once and spend the rest of their lives trying to explain it.
For Gail Porter, the supernatural has been part of a much longer journey — from haunted locations and paranormal television to personal experiences that challenged what she thought she knew.
In this Talk Haunts special, Steve and Marie are joined by Gail Porter: broadcaster, stand-up comedian, mental health campaigner, advocate, and presenter of paranormal shows including Dead Famous, Spooked Scotland, and Paranormal Activity Live. Known to millions for her work across British television, Gail brings warmth, honesty and curiosity to a conversation that moves through haunted Hollywood, Salem, Scotland, and the strange places where history and the unexplained meet.
Together, they explore Gail’s supernatural experiences, the locations that stayed with her, the atmosphere of haunted theatres and old buildings, and the incident that changed her view of the paranormal forever.
Thoughtful, funny, open and quietly eerie, this is a conversation about fame, fear, haunted places, personal belief, and what happens when the unexplained stops being something you present on television — and becomes something you experience for yourself.
