Episode 11 – The Portuguese UFO Story

In 1917, the world looked to Fátima after thousands of people reported witnessing a mysterious event in the sky. But decades later, another extraordinary encounter would take place in Portugal—one that remains far less well known.

On an ordinary winter evening, 13-year-old António Alves set out on a familiar walk through an olive grove. What happened next would change his life forever.

A brilliant white object. Missing time. Strange physical effects. And a story that has continued to divide opinion for decades.

In this episode, Kathryn and Alison explore one of Portugal’s most compelling UFO encounters, piecing together the eyewitness testimony, the reported evidence, and the questions that still remain unanswered.

Was António the victim of a vivid misunderstanding… or did he experience something that defies conventional explanation?

Brace yourselves… this is The Portuguese UFO Story.

A second-hand wardrobe.

An antique mirror.

Then… something changed.

In this episode of This Is A Ghost Story, Kathryn and Alison tell the unsettling true account of listener Kayla, whose life took a terrifying turn after bringing home an old wardrobe with a large mirror attached.

What began as an ordinary purchase soon became something she couldn’t explain. Strange experiences, disturbing dreams and an overwhelming feeling that she was no longer alone left Kayla questioning whether the mirror was simply reflecting her room… or something far more sinister.

Could an ordinary piece of furniture really carry something from its past, or was there another explanation for the chilling events that followed?

Andrew also explores the history of haunted mirrors, the idea of cursed objects, and the paranormal theories that surround them.

A story that may make you think twice before bringing antiques into your home.
