  • Have We Been Here Before? What Past Lives Teach Us
    Aug 11 2026

    Our Featured guest Paul Goddard takes us through his path from aspiring DJ and paranormal investigator to past-life regression therapist. He describes a clear apparition he witnessed at 5 a.m. in a Gloucester shop, how watching his father use hypnosis during illness changed his direction, and the Jenny Cockell case that softened his earlier resistance to reincarnation.


    The episode explores practical and ethical approaches to hypnotic regression — guiding rather than leading, handling strong emotional responses, the value of recording every session, and making space for healing. Paul shares several of his most compelling client experiences, including a First World War pilot and an early-nineteenth-century explorer’s daughter, while remaining open to different explanations for the memories that surface.


    A grounded, reflective conversation for anyone interested in past lives, hypnosis, or the boundary between the paranormal and personal transformation.

  • The Sunderland Poltergeist - Knocks, Heavenly Music & a Voice Claiming to Be Jesus
    Aug 4 2026

    In 1840, twelve-year-old Mary Jobson lay ill in a Sunderland tenement when the knocks began — always three times.

    Then a voice claiming to be Jesus started speaking from her bedside.

    Documented in detail by respected physician Dr William Reid Clanny, this is one of the strangest and least-known poltergeist cases of the 19th century.


    Heavenly music, family secrets revealed, a miraculous recovery… and the shadow of the cholera epidemic that first hit Britain in Sunderland.

    Our featured guest is Historian Stephen Miller of The Poltergeist Project, he tells the full story.
