In Stratford-upon-Avon, Kate says she felt a hand on her back from a spirit that disliked women.

1. The Politics Prepping and Paranormal Podcast episode centers on Dr. Kate Sherrill and her work across paranormal history, television, and books. 2. Jeff Morey hosts the show, and Dr. Kate Sherrill is the guest because she is a UK writer, broadcaster, TV personality, paranormal investigator, and paranormal historian. 3. The episode asks what paranormal research looks like when it moves from haunted locations and books into TV production, lectures, and public debate. 4. Kate says she lectures around the UK on death, mourning, death practices, spiritualism, and the gothics. 5. She names Haunted Homecoming, where she co-hosted with Jack Osborne and then Jonathan Ross, as part of her TV experience. 6. She also discusses Unexplained Caught on Camera, where she was shown clips and had to identify things like a Wendigo or a mermaid on the spot. 7. Kate mentions BBC Paranormal, appearances on Weird Britain, her website Burials and Beyond, the podcast Loopholes, and her book Begotten. 8. She describes Burials and Beyond as a long-running project about trapdoor coffins, magical stones, and other unusual historical material. 9. The discussion moves to Chillingham Castle, which Kate investigated, and she says the appeal of such sites comes from centuries of layered history. 10. Kate contrasts that with the way UK castles lack central heating and insulation, which changes the practical reality of investigation. 11. Warmly Clock Tower near Bristol stands out for Kate because she reports intelligent communications, knocks, and hair being pulled there. 12. Hellfire Caves in Buckinghamshire matters because Kate describes its 18th-century caves, Francis Dashwood, a gentleman's club, and a recent solo vigil. 13. At Hellfire Caves she says footsteps were recorded on gravel and a woman's giggle was captured in the background. 14. In Stratford-upon-Avon, Kate says she wore a cocktail dress, called out to a male spirit, and felt a hand on her back that was not from a team member. 15. She also describes a medieval crypt spirit-board session that spelled her grandfather's unusual name and middle name, Warnford. 16. Kate says that same board gave specific reassurance about family members who were ill at the time. 17. The conversation later turns to TV ethics, and Kate says television investigations can range from half an hour to four hours at one location. 18. She argues that TV paranormal work and enthusiast investigation are different, especially when researchers must perform for camera while still trying to gather evidence. 19. Listeners who like UK paranormal history, haunted sites, and TV production details will get the most from this episode. 20. Listeners looking for a quick skeptical teardown or a strictly evidence-only format may skip it. 21. Kate's tone is conversational and reflective, with detailed examples from UK locations, books, and television work. 22. Jeff Morey keeps the interview moving with comparisons to US hauntings, UFO disclosure, and the commercialization of paranormal media.
