26: Alma Fielding and the Poltergeist of Thornton Heath - Now that's a flying saucer!

This week Jeremy takes us on a deep-dive, deeply haunting journey through the life of Alma Fielding. Was she a tormented woman trailed by bedeviling spirits? Or was she a trickster of the trickiest kind? Or maybe somewhere in-between? Come along with us as we seek to discover the truth behind the poltergeist of Thornton Heath.

Thank you once again to Mr. Tim Leavy from https://www.timleavy.com/ for the greatest paranormal podcast theme song in all the lands.
