Prepare for a spine-tingling journey through Britain's forgotten Christmas tradition - ghost hoaxes that sparked mass hysteria across communities. In this captivating conversation on “Paranormal Yakker” with UK bestselling author Paul Weatherhead, we uncover the fascinating true stories behind his book "Phantoms of Christmas Past," revealing how seasonal ghost pranks in the 19th and early 20th centuries escalated into community-wide panics and vigilante ghost hunts.

The dark side of Christmas past emerges as Paul recounts the tragic Hammersmith ghost incident of 1803, where an innocent plasterer wearing traditional white work clothes was fatally shot by a vigilante who mistook him for a ghost. This sobering tale exemplifies how seemingly harmless pranks could spiral into violence when fear gripped communities. From simple sheet-wearing specters to elaborate apparitions adorned with luminous paint, devil masks, and metal claws, these ghost hoaxers left an indelible mark on history.

Discover the raucous Islington Graveyard Riot where hundreds of drunken revelers overran a cemetery after pub closing time, creating what Paul describes as a "spontaneous supernatural party" that police struggled to control. Marvel at the decades-long East Barnet ghost hunts that drew thousands in search of Sir Geoffrey de Mandeville's clanking ghost, complete with a fabricated romantic subplot involving a beautiful "Grey Lady" with dimpled cheeks. Paul explains how newspapers played a crucial role in spreading these stories, sometimes deliberately publishing fictional ghost accounts simply to fill column space during the Christmas season. Whether you're a paranormal enthusiast or history buff, these forgotten tales of mass hysteria reveal fascinating insights into our enduring fascination with the supernatural during the festive period.

Britain's foremost UFO researcher, Nigel Watson, pulls back the curtain on some of the UK's most compelling alien encounter cases in this riveting conversation on “Paranormal Yakker” about his book "Portraits of Alien Encounters Revisited."

Unlike many researchers who focus on theories and speculation, Watson has spent decades speaking directly with witnesses who've experienced profound encounters with the unknown.

In the interview Watson traces how Steven Spielberg's "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" created a cultural shift that emboldened witnesses to share their most bizarre experiences, not just distant lights in the sky. He explains how legendary researchers Jacques Vallée and John Keel influenced his approach, encouraging him to look beyond isolated incidents to see patterns of lifelong paranormal experiences many witnesses report. The conversations reveal fascinating connections between UFO encounters and other phenomena like prophetic dreams, missing time, and even apparent guardian angel interventions.

What makes these British cases particularly valuable is their raw authenticity - most witnesses weren't subjected to hypnotic regression, allowing their memories to remain unembellished by potential false memories. Watson thoughtfully examines how our cultural context shapes our interpretation of these phenomena across different eras, from phantom airships before WWI to foo fighters during WWII to today's UAPs, while the underlying experiences remain strikingly consistent.

Listen as Watson shares these extraordinary stories and his evolving perspective on one of humanity's most persistent mysteries. Whether you're a dedicated UFO enthusiast or simply curious about unexplained phenomena, these accounts from everyday people will leave you questioning what might truly be visiting our world.
