YVETTE AND KARL TALK: Shaking Hands With Ghosts

How do you keep your cool when the helpful stranger who just gave you directions—or built you a miracle staircase—turns out never to have existed?

In this extraordinary episode of Paranormal Activity, host Yvette Fielding teams up once again with investigator and long-time friend of the show Karl Beattie to explore the rarest—and most mind-bending—type of haunting: ghosts so tangible you can chat with them, trade stories­, even feel the warmth of a handshake.

Yvette and Karl dive into three world-class mysteries:

• The Loreto Chapel Staircase (Santa Fe, New Mexico) – Who was the silent “Brother Joseph” who appeared from nowhere, built an impossible spiral staircase, dined with the nuns, and vanished without payment?
• The Ghosts of Gettysburg (Pennsylvania) – Why do tourists keep thanking Civil-War “reenactors” for battlefield tours on days when the Park Service swears no actors were on site?
• The White Lady of Avenel (Dumfries & Galloway, Scotland) – Meet the elegant hostess who chats about rose gardens, pours tea for guests, and then melts away, leaving only the scent of lavender in her wake.

With first-hand witness quotes, declassified ranger logs, architectural analyses, and a dash of spirited debate, Yvette and Karl ask whether these encounters are intelligent hauntings, time-slips, or something even stranger—moments when history itself reaches out and touches us.

Buckle up for an evening where ghosts don’t just say “boo”; they pull up a chair, offer directions, and leave you questioning every “ordinary” passer-by you meet.
