April 1973, a quiet suburb outside São Paulo. A twenty-one-year-old mother sits down for the first time all day, and finds the sofa beside her torn open. Nobody's there. Nobody's been there.

This week, Yvette Fielding investigates the Guarulhos Poltergeist, Brazil's most thoroughly documented haunting. Slashed furniture, falling stones, spontaneous fires, cuts appearing on skin, and a red-furred beast glimpsed by an entire family. It baffled sceptical scientists, drew in the journalist who'd later crack the Enfield case, and ended up filed inside a real CIA psychic-warfare programme.

Was it a curse, conjured by human malice and aimed at one young woman? A mind under unbearable strain? Or something we still have no name for? Listen, and decide for yourself.
