Yvette Fielding is a well-known TV presenter and paranormal enthusiast who has presented the popular British show Most Haunted for over twenty years.
In the show, Fielding and her team of researchers explore some of the most haunted locations in Britain and beyond, using different methods and equipment to communicate with the ghosts.
But before she became a seasoned ghost hunter, Fielding had her first encounter with the paranormal in a most unlikely place: the toilets of a theater.
In a recent interview on This Morning, Fielding shared her story with presenters Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary, who were both fascinated and terrified by her story.
Fielding explained that she was visiting the Theater Royal, Drury Lane, one of the oldest and most haunted theaters in London. Legend has it that the theater is home to several ghosts, including a man in gray, Joseph Grimaldi, and a mysterious figure known as the “Man in Black.”
Fielding said she was walking down the hallway with two other women when they saw something that made them stop in their tracks.
“It wasn’t a complete ghost, it was a pair of legs, just a pair of legs!” she exclaimed.
She described the legs as they wore over-the-knee leather boots and slowly walked up the main stairs. She said all three saw the same thing and ran away as quickly as they could.
“The three of us were walking down the hallway and we all stopped because a pair of legs with over-the-knee leather boots came up the main stairs, walking up the stairs almost in slow motion.”
“All three of us saw it at the same time, turned around and ran.”
Fielding said this was far from the most disturbing thing she had experienced during the investigation.
“I’ve had so many, but once we researched a terraced house in Leeds,” she said.
“A carving knife disappeared the night we were there and we found it embedded in a pillow in the dark. We felt objects being thrown at us – there was no breeze in the house at all.”
“It turned out that the house was built on the ruins of a monastery. The nasty entity that had plagued this house was a monk – but not a nice one.”
