In this installment, paranormal YouTuber Peter Laws and skeptical commentator Bridget Christie dive into the haunting experiences of 12-year-old Louise, who lived with her mother in a remote farmhouse on the Yorkshire moors. They discuss eerie occurrences like a crow in a closed room, strange footsteps, and a deep whisper that defied logical explanations. Laws explores animals sensing the supernatural, while Christie offers rational explanations for unsettling noises.
