I just want to say that this absolutely an outstanding paranormal documentary - gripping, convincing, evidential, realistic, with wonderful interview and media context. This is exactly how it should be done. Excellent all around.

When I was around 5-6 years old there was a house next door that I knew was haunted. When I was with friends we happened to walk past and their front door was wide open, I stopped and told my friends “You know, that house is haunted” just as I said that a white mist formed at the top of the stairs and quickly gushed down the stairs to the front door, we all screamed and ran!
We all saw it and we were all shaken.
We moved out of our house 3 years later, my parents had leased that property fast forward 30 years and I met the new neighbours, I mentioned to him that as a kid I thought their house was haunted he replied “We’re British and we definitely believe in spirits, in fact, we often hear someone walking on the stairs” well that was all the validation I needed because that’s exactly where all us kids saw that manifestation - on the stairs.
I wonder though, if someone had an accident and died on those stairs. It wasn’t a nice spirit though to deliberately scare us children like that.

We fled a haunted house 5 months ago after living there for 6 years (out of need not out of choice.) The house was such bad luck it was evil. The previous occupants had a similar experience. I feel sorry for the current tenants.

I experienced poltergeist activity as a child. Our bed used to rock, we had bunk beds and mum played it down but years later admitted the bed was rocking but didn't want to frighten us. I've also experienced activity as an adult with objects appearing out of thin air, like Lego bricks and other small toys. I've had many experiences I simply cannot explain throughout my life.

I lived in the valleys and it’s unbelievable what went on. My childhood home was so active. I was told it’s my imagination but when I turned 15 I was told it was never my imagination. I moved out of the valleys 8 years ago and I will never step foot in that village again

The truth is many dimensions exist out side of human ability to see.

Great interview with mother & daughter. I also enjoyed the light but ever present background music.

Strange thing is that the owner / habitants of Rhonda street - after these people moved to another place. What happened at that adres with the new habitants ? They don’t investigate that line at all. I find that very strange.

Me and my sister used to live in newly built apartments on the bottom floor after my nephew was born. It was built over a cemetery. And to this day there’s things I can’t explain. Sounds at night, my nephews toys moving on their own, the shower turning on, the doors used to open. The list goes on and on and on yaknow. Crazy stuff

When I was a teen my grandfather died suddenly. After his death I woke up to a dark figure with a hat standing over me. Grandpa always wore a hat. I screamed and threw the covers over my head. When I removed the covers, he was still there and ‘said’…just heard in my head….’everything’s going to be alright’. Then he was gone. I jumped up, ran to my parents room and said grandpa just visited me. They of course just told me it was a dream and to go to bed, but I never questioned it. Never happened again. Just that 1 experience. I’d like to think it was grandpa.

OMG, I used to live at No 7! This house looks as if it's more towards the Constitution Hill end. Hi Gwilym! We see you from Norway!

My grandmother and her sisters were Spiritualists and I've been to a few Spiritualist services as part of my family history. I found it very inteteresting both in terms of my family's history and its impact on the wider world. I look forward to returning to Sp services in the near future.

I lived in a new build house in Carmarthen back in the 1990's as a child, me and my sister used to see someone there. Years later my mum told us that pictures used to fly off the wall aswell. Thankfully we were only in the house for a few months while ours was being built.

Steve describing himself as a singer songwriter so casually!
Steve is incredible! One of the best voices to come out of Wales especially in Musicial Theatre!!
