Peter Sellers was one of the most famous men on the planet.

He was also one of the most genuinely, deeply paranormal figures of the 20th century, and almost nobody knows the full story.

This week Yvette Fielding investigates the extraordinary and haunting truth behind the legend.

• A clairvoyant so powerful that Hollywood producers bribed him to influence Sellers' decisions.
• A near-death experience that left him convinced he'd made a personal deal with death itself. A Victorian ghost who allegedly guided his greatest performances from beyond the grave.
• And a desperate, decades-long search through séances and mediums to find his dead mother.

This isn't a story about a celebrity with quirky superstitions.

This is a story about a man who handed his entire life over to the paranormal and what it cost him.

The séances were real. The obsession was real. And the tragedy was inevitable.

This week on Paranormal Activity: Monday Mailtime, Producer Dom opens two listener encounters that don't just unsettle, they fundamentally challenge what we think we understand about places, presence, and memory.

Calum hiked alone to a hill on the Isle of Skye as the light began to fade. He didn't know the locals call it Hill of the Voice. He does now. What started as a faint, drawn-out note became layers of inhuman singing — overlapping, circling, tightening around him like something adjusting itself. And then he felt it beneath his feet. Not a sound. Not a shape. Something occupied. Something listening back. A local later told him the singing isn't meant for people. And if you hear it clearly… you've already been noticed.

Then, Amara travelled alone to Kennin-ji Temple in Kyoto to observe a morning service. She sat quietly. The chanting began. And then without knowing the words, without understanding the language, her mouth started moving. Perfectly in time. In a voice that wasn't hers. Deeper. Older. Worn-in, like it had been used across lifetimes. When it ended, she asked a monk what had happened. His answer has never left her: "Not everyone who arrives here is arriving for the first time."

What happens when a place doesn't just hold energy… but uses whoever walks into it? And what does it mean when something ancient recognises you before you recognise it?

Producer Dom reacts, unpacks, and explores the folklore and deeper theory behind both: from the fairy mounds of Scottish Gaelic tradition to the Zen Buddhist belief that practice never truly ends… it just waits for the right vessel to return.

Bones thrown at her in Bamburgh Castle.

Wet herself with fright.

Woke up crying at Pendle Hill with no memory of what happened.

This week, Karl Beattie raids your questions from Facebook, emails, and live events and Yvette answers everything.

The scariest places, the preparation rituals, the evidence that made headlines, the demons she does (and doesn't) believe in, and why she'd still go back anywhere.
