Join hosts Kristian Lander and Caroline McKendrick Gibson in this riveting, unfiltered conversation with William C. Grave, author of the Amazon #1 bestselling series The Lady in the Bay Window. For over 21 years, William has lived in a seemingly ordinary Sheffield home that's anything but—plagued by shadow figures lurking in the halls, mysteriously apporting American coins (including one thrown at him in the shower!), intense poltergeist phenomena like flipping keys and crashing sounds with no source, trickster activity that builds to "weeks of madness," and chilling sightings of an elderly lady with short grey permed hair, a dark cardigan, and a piercing stare that has converted even the most skeptical friends and visitors.

From his debut book, which raised nearly £50,000 for Cavendish Cancer Care in honor of his mother's battle, to the highly anticipated sequel that knocked the first off Amazon's paranormal charts, William shares raw, chronological true stories of inexplicable events: xylophone melodies from empty wardrobes, male smoker's coughs in empty rooms, growling at the bed's end, and a medium's revelation of a "vortex" or portal allowing spirits to pass through between 1-3 AM. Plus, hear about multi-witness poltergeist outbreaks, environmental anomalies like pressure fluctuations and radiation drops, and eerie neighborhood correlations where activity "jumps" between houses.

With a touring stage show Beyond the Bay Window and a new podcast launching soon, William's journey blends skepticism, logic, and undeniable evidence—perfect for believers, skeptics, and anyone intrigued by the unknown. Recorded live at the ASAP (Association for the Scientific Study of Anomalous Phenomena) webinar on February 26, 2026, this episode dives into patterns of hauntings, potential interdimensional theories, and real investigations with mediums and paranormal teams.

If you've experienced the unexplained or love true ghost stories, this is a must-watch! Don't miss insights on RSPK (recurrent spontaneous psychokinesis), historical research tying the lady to past residents like Mrs. Tompkins or Nielsen, and tips on documenting anomalies with tools like Govee sensors and radiation detectors.
