Summary
Welcome back, to The Dark Paranormal.
On todays episode, we travel back to the late 1800's to hear about a case that may well be the origin point for the plot of many recent horror films, The Great Amherst Mystery.
In an event which precedes the Enfield case by almost 100 years, we find, perhaps, the original haunted teenager, and here about the paranormal events which allegedly surrounded her.

| 0:00.0 | Life from Liverpool, the Dark Paranormal, Season 6. |
| 0:26.0 | Hi everyone and welcome back to the Dark Paranormal. |
| 0:30.4 | Firstly, a big thank you to everyone who reached out with feedback and comments regarding |
| 0:36.2 | last week's episode, The South Shields Poltergeist. |
| 0:40.0 | I know from many of you who reached out that it's the first time you've heard of this |
| 0:45.2 | epic encounter and that really made me happy because I do want these episodes of the more |
| 0:50.9 | famous cases to sometimes include ones which should be more famous than they actually are. |
| 0:57.3 | And I believe that in time, The South Shields case will become as famous as Enfield or |
| 1:02.4 | Amateurville or anything else we think of when we think of the classic ghost story. |
| 1:08.3 | For today's episode of The Dark Paranormal, we're taking a trip back in time, potentially |
| 1:14.8 | to an origin story of a trope we all know so well. |
| 1:19.3 | However, interestingly, there are some parts of the case that we're about to discuss that |
| 1:24.6 | I think are unique to this case on its own. |
| 1:28.5 | However, before we jump into today's episode, I do of course need to say a big thank you |
| 1:34.0 | to each and every one of our Patreons. |
| 1:36.8 | If you're a fan of the show, when you sign up to Patreon, not only do you allow this |
| 1:41.0 | independent podcast to continue, but you also receive ad free early releases of each episode |
| 1:47.4 | before anyone else. |
| 1:49.5 | On top of that, you will receive a weekly Patreon only podcast called Dark Bites, and that |
| 1:55.4 | runs every week of the year, even on the downtime between seasons. |
| 2:00.5 | We've built a wonderful community of like-minded paranormal enthusiasts over on Patreon, and |
| 2:05.9 | we'd like to extend an invitation to you. |
