Hello and welcome back to Monday Mail

1:04

Time on the Paranormal Activity podcast

1:06

with me, producer Dom, where we

1:08

dive into your experiences and your

1:10

encounters. So let's dive into the

1:12

mailbag for our first story of

1:15

today's episode. This comes from Emily.

1:22

Hi, my name is Emily and I've always

1:24

been fascinated by the paranormal, but I

1:26

never thought I would have my own

1:28

story to tell. That changed last summer

1:30

when my family and I went on

1:32

a Mediterranean cruise. What was supposed to

1:34

be a relaxing vacation turned into one

1:36

of the strangest experiences of my life.

1:38

We had boarded a beautiful cruise ship,

1:40

a massive floating city, you know, with

1:42

all the luxury you can imagine. Our

1:44

cabin was on the lower decks, small

1:46

but comfortable. The first few nights run

1:48

eventful, just the usual sounds of the

1:50

ocean and the occasional hum of the

1:52

engines beneath us, but on the third

1:54

night something changed. I woke up around

1:56

2 AM, not sure why at first,

1:58

then I heard it first, then I

2:00

heard it. Then I heard it. Then

2:02

I heard it. whispers. Fain, like dozens

2:04

of voices murmuring just outside our cabin

2:06

door. At first I thought it was

2:08

out with passengers walking through the halls,

2:10

when I sat up and listened closer

2:12

I realised the voices weren't coming from

2:15

the hallway, very inside the room. It

2:17

wasn't eerie, unintelligible whispering, like a conversation

2:19

happening just be on the edge of

2:21

my understanding. My heart did start to

2:23

pound. I turned to check to my

2:25

parents and younger brother, but they were

2:27

fast asleep. I wanted to wake them

2:29

up, but something then happened froze me

2:31

in place. One of the whispers became

2:33

clear as day, a woman's voice close

2:35

to my ear, saying the slow drawn

2:37

out tone, Come, find us. That was

2:39

it. No explanation, no further sound. The

2:41

room fell deafly silent. I reached my

2:43

phone and turned on the flashlight, scanning

2:45

the cabin. Of course there was nothing

2:47

there, but next morning I hesitated to

2:49

tell my family and not wanted to

2:51

sound ridiculous. But as we sat at

2:53

breakfast, my mum mentioned something that sent

2:55

chills down my spine. She said she

2:57

had woken up in the middle of

2:59

the night, feeling like someone was standing

3:01

next to her bed, watching her. She

3:03

thought it was me or my brother,

3:05

but when she opened her eyes no

3:07

one was there. That day I did

3:09

some research and discovered that many crew

3:11

ships have a history of hauntings. Some

3:14

carried tragic past with stories of passengers

3:16

who went missing or crew members lost

3:18

at sea, but the voices belonged to

3:20

them. Were they trying to communicate? For

3:22

the rest of the trip I never

3:24

heard the whispers again. but every night

3:26

I slept with a bathroom light on

3:28

just in case. I don't know who

3:30

or what was speaking to me that

3:32

night, but I still wonder what would

3:34

have happened if I had answered. Emily,

3:36

your experience is a chilling account that

3:38

brings together several elements of paranormal activity,

3:40

particularly the idea of spirits or entities

3:42

communicating through whispers or voices in a

3:44

seemingly confined space. Your story touches on

3:46

a few fascinating concepts, including fascinating concepts

3:48

with the living. Emily, I think your

3:50

research into the ship's history in its

3:52

possible connection to past tragedies is crucial

3:54

though. Crewships, especially those of older histories,

3:56

often carry the energy of past events,

3:58

whether tragic disappearances, accidents, or unresolved emotional

4:00

incidents. The idea that spirits of lost

4:02

passengers or crew could be lingering is

4:04

a compelling theory. Especially if the voices

4:06

you heard were tied to individuals who

4:08

experienced untimely or traumatic deaths. The feeling

4:10

of being watched, which your mother reported,

4:12

might be another sign that the spirits

4:15

are attached to that specific place on

4:17

the ship, trying to get the attention

4:19

of the living or perhaps seeking something

4:21

from them like closure. Another explanation for

4:23

your experience might involve sleep paralysis or

4:25

hallucinations. These do occur as we know

4:27

when the body is either transitioning into

4:29

or out of sleep, and the brain

4:31

can sometimes mix reality with dream-like elements.

4:33

The whispers in the sense of someone

4:35

standing by your bed might have been

4:37

products of a semi-conscious state, when the

4:39

brain is still partially asleep but aware

4:41

enough to perceive external stimuli. In this

4:43

case, the mime might have incorporated the

4:45

surroundings of the ship, perhaps amplified by

4:47

the energy or tension in the environment,

4:49

into the hallucination. The clear voice that

4:51

you heard saying... come find us. Stands

4:53

out as one of the most disturbing

4:55

aspects of your experience I think. This

4:57

specific message though brief seems to be

4:59

the spirit's attempt to connect directly with

5:01

you. In many paranormal accounts spirits often

5:03

described as reaching out in ways of

5:05

personal significance as if trying to make

5:07

contact or alert the living to something

5:09

they have not yet understood. The idea

5:11

you felt a sense of unease and

5:13

later heard that her mother had a

5:16

similar feeling of being watched adds another

5:18

layer of mysteries to the experience I

5:20

think. It suggests that the spirits might

5:22

be an attempt to interact with everyone

5:24

in the room, not just yourself. The

5:26

chill you felt on the sense foreboning

5:28

in the air, like he added to

5:30

the emotional intensity of the event. The

5:32

sensation of being watched, combining the mystery

5:34

of what spirits wanted, leaves a lasting

5:36

psychological impact, especially when paired with the

5:38

fact there was no clear explanation or

5:40

resolution. To conclude, Emily, I think your

5:42

experience is a fascinating example of how

5:44

paranormal phenomena can manifest in surprising and

5:46

disorientating ways. Whilst there are several possible

5:48

explanations, a combination of unexplained whispers, unease

5:50

and a clear message from the spirit

5:52

may seem to encounter particularly compelling really.

5:54

Whether it was an intelligent spirit or

5:56

residual energy, you'll send me to ship's

5:58

charge history. Your experience fits into a

6:00

larger pattern of stories where spirits or

6:02

entities make contact with the living, often

6:04

leaving them with lingering questions and curiosity.

6:06

The fact that you and your mother

6:08

had similar experiences suggests that the spirits

6:10

on a ship were trying to communicate,

6:12

possibly with a message or a warning

6:14

that was never fully revealed. Your story

6:17

serves as a reminder that paranormal moments

6:19

often not bound by logic and that

6:21

unexplained experiences can be powerful and lasting.

you for that first story Emily,

7:57

so let's dip into the

7:59

mailbag. second story of today's episode. This

8:01

comes from Sarah. Hi, my name is Sarah,

8:03

and I've always been fascinated by the unknown,

8:06

but nothing could have prepared me for why

8:08

I experienced one night in Broadhaven Wales. A

8:10

place we know well here on Paranoid

8:12

activity. I'd read about the Broadhaven

8:15

Triangle as we know a hotspot view of

8:17

you a photo sighting since the 1970s, but

8:19

I wasn't exactly expecting anything strange to happen

8:21

to me. My part and I booked a

8:23

cozy little hotel near the coast with a

8:26

stunning view of the sea. It was peaceful,

8:28

quiet, until something appeared in the sky, but

8:30

I still can't explain. It was then 30

8:32

p.m. and I was standing by the window,

8:34

enjoying the clear night. The stars were

8:37

bright, and the ocean was calm. But then,

8:39

out of nowhere, a strange glow appeared

8:41

above the horizon. A pulsing, golden orange

8:43

light. At first, I thought it was

8:45

a plane or maybe a helicopter, but

8:47

it wasn't moving like either of them.

8:49

He held it completely still for what felt

8:51

like minutes. Then suddenly it shot straight up

8:54

at an impossible speed, stopped again, and tilted

8:56

at an angle as if it was observing

8:58

something below. I called my partner over, but

9:00

the second he looked, the light shifted colours.

9:03

Turning from orange to an eerie icy blue,

9:05

and then vanished. I stood there, my

9:07

heart was racing, staring at the sky. And

9:09

that's when I noticed something even stranger. The

9:11

air in the room felt charged, like static

9:14

before a thunderstorm. A deep low frequency hum

9:16

filled by ears, not painful, but unsettling. My

9:18

partner didn't hear it, but I could feel

9:20

it in my chest. I barely slept that

9:23

night. The next morning when we mentioned it

9:25

to the hotel staff, a woman at the

9:27

front desk just smiled knowingly and said, you

9:30

wouldn't be the first to see something like

9:32

that around here. Later I learned that

9:34

multiple people in Broadhaven had reported similar

9:36

lights, like a vet had spoken about

9:38

on a podcast on a podcast before.

9:40

Some say it's experimental aircraft, I was believing something

9:43

not of this world. All I know is that

9:45

I saw something that defied logic, and to this

9:47

day, I can't shake the feeling that wherever it

9:49

was, it was watching us just as much as

9:51

we were watching it. Sarah, your experience

9:53

in Broadhaven, I think, is an intriguing and

9:56

mysterious account, but not one we haven't heard

9:58

before. One that ties into the... broad

10:00

history of UFO sightings and unexplained

10:02

phenomena in the region, particularly around

10:04

this Broadhaven triangle. The vivid description

10:06

of the light strange behaviour, the

10:08

physical sensations you experience, and the

10:10

local knowledge of similar sightings all

10:12

contribute to a deeply unsettling encounter

10:14

I think. Broadhaven, as we've mentioned multiple

10:17

times, is a known hotspot for UFO

10:19

sightings, suggesting that your encounter could be

10:21

related to extraterrestrial phenomena. The movement of

10:23

the light, particularly its sudden upward motion,

10:25

and changing colour, is consistent with reports

10:28

of UFO sightings where crafts move at

10:30

impossible speeds and exhibit behaviour that is

10:32

beyond the capabilities of conventional aircraft. The

10:34

pulsating, sort of golden orange light, shifting

10:37

to an icy blue and disappearing could

10:39

be indicative of advanced technology, possibly a

10:41

spacecraft or energy field that isn't yet

10:43

understood by current science. Many

10:46

UFO sightings involve lights behaving in

10:48

a wave that defies known physics,

10:50

such as sudden accelerations or changes

10:52

in direction, which could explain your

10:54

experience. The feeling of being watched that

10:56

you describe can buy me the eerie

10:58

hum you heard, as to the sense

11:00

that the phenomenon wasn't just an object

11:02

in the sky, but an interaction. UFO

11:05

reports often include sensations like uneas, static,

11:07

and a feeling of being observed, which

11:09

could indicate that the beings or entities

11:11

associated with the UFOs are aware of

11:13

those witnessing witnessing. It is possible also

11:15

that the light wasn't just a random

11:17

occurrence, but an intentional observation or interaction

11:19

by whatever craft or intelligence was involved.

11:21

The action from the hotel staff with

11:23

a knowing smile and acknowledgement that you

11:25

and your partner weren't the first to witness

11:27

such an event suggests that this phenomenon is

11:30

part of a larger pattern of unexplained activity

11:32

in the area. The fact of school children

11:34

and military personnel I've also reported seeing

11:36

similar lights lends credibility to the idea

11:38

that something unusual has been happening in

11:41

the region for decades. Broadhaven, as we

11:43

mentioned with this long history of UFO

11:45

sightings and strange occurrences, and this could

11:48

suggest that the areas of focal point

11:50

of unexplained phenomena possibly involving both extraterrestrial

11:52

intelligence or even something related to secret

11:54

military experiments or technologies. No theory is that

11:57

Sarah, you may have witnessed something that's not

11:59

easily categorised by... current scientific understanding. Such

12:01

as an interdimensional entity or phenomenon. There

12:03

are some theories that within paranormal and

12:05

UFO research, as just as some UFOs

12:08

might not be extraterrestrial crafts at all.

12:10

Rather, manifestations of phenomena that exist in

12:12

different dimensions or realities. These entities or

12:14

phenomena could appear in our reality temporarily,

12:17

often accompanied by strange lights and electromagnetic

12:19

disturbances. The pulsating light in the experience

12:21

of the object could be indicative of

12:24

a phenomenon that is simply overlapping with

12:26

our dimension, given the impression of a

12:28

uFO, when in reality it might be

12:30

something completely different. The sensation of being

12:33

watched and an ease you felt could

12:35

stern from several factors. If you truly

12:37

witnessed a uFO or an intelligent phenomenon,

12:40

it's possible that the beings or entities

12:42

behind the lights were aware of you

12:44

and your partner. Many of your phone

12:46

counters involve a sense of being observed

12:49

or studied, which can trick a feeling

12:51

of vulnerability or discomfort. The combination of

12:53

the humming sound, the physical sensations of

12:55

static, and the feeling of being watched

12:58

could be the result of the interaction

13:00

with an intelligence or entity that is

13:02

observing, communicating, or even conducting some form

13:05

of experiment. Sarah, your encounter in Broadhaven

13:07

is a captivating and eerie example of

13:09

a UFO sighting that may involve both

13:11

technological and potentially paranormal elements. The strange

13:14

likes, the rapid movement, and the feeling

13:16

of being watched are consistent with many

13:18

UFO reports, especially in areas of history

13:20

of such sightings. The charge there, but

13:23

low frequency hum, and the physical sensations

13:25

you experience, Sarah, could be linked to

13:27

electromagnetic disturbances or on an energy field

13:30

associated with UFO activity. Given history in

13:32

the region of unexplained phenomena, it's It's

13:34

plausible that you did witness something out

13:36

of the ordering. And the unease you

13:39

felt afterwards speaks to the power of

13:41

such experiences to leave a lasting impression.

13:43

Whether extraterrestrial, interdimensional, related to unknown natural

13:46

phenomena, your story serves as a reminder

13:48

that there's still so much to the

13:50

universe that we fully don't really understand.

13:52

Whatever you saw that night, it was

13:55

clearly experienced that challenge your perception of

13:57

reality and left you of questions that

13:59

may never be answered. team out your
