Will Sharpe (The White Lotus) hosts a mind-bending real-life story of reincarnation and a spooky tale of family secrets. In 1950s England, milkman John Pollock makes a sensational prophecy: His dead daughters will be reborn. At first, even his own wife says he’s a crank. But then she gives birth to twin girls who have uncanny similarities to their sisters who died. Suddenly, the world sits up and takes notice. Pollock’s prophecy attracts the attention of a serious American scientist who crosses the Atlantic countless times to study the twins. And his conclusion is astonishing. So, what if death is only the beginning? Extrasensory goes in search of the two people who know the truth—the twins themselves. Extrasensory is an Apple Original podcast produced by Blanchard House.

Offbeat, interesting, well-written and well-told.

The stories themselves are quirky and interesting. The presenters tell the stories with a light touch of humour and keep the narrative informative and enjoyable. I started with The Book Thief but am looking forward to listening to the rest of the series. Good job!
Like Serial, only short and concise 👍

Just started listening to this and it’s really enjoyable. Each episode is just the right length, and the hosts capture the story while giving you a few laughs along the way. Riley’s Island Dali and The Book Thief were really interesting stories, looking forward to listening to more episodes!
Excellent

Interesting stories but would kinda like you out of the picture more as you seem a bit arrogant and there is so little depth to what you are saying. Shallow! Your guests are interesting just a shame it’s you guys taking to them.
