Manage episode 401915575 series 3511224
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.
