Do ghosts exist? Are you Team Believer or Team Sceptic?
In this second run of episodes of the BBC Two series, Danny Robins investigates real-life stories of potentially paranormal encounters in Uncanny.
Featuring a brand new crop of terrifying real-life stories of seemingly supernatural encounters told by the people they happened to – experiences that seem to defy logical explanation. Or do they? In each of the four episodes, Danny Robins investigates a different case and tries to help those involved understand what happened to them. Can their experiences be explained – or are they really evidence of something paranormal?
Were three generations of a farming family in rural Lancashire all terrorised by the presence of a small child? Did a group of charity shop workers all witness the same paranormal figure? Were a teenager and his friends preyed upon by a towering malign presence in the 90s? And was a young girl physically pushed down the stairs by a supernatural force in the early 2000s?
Danny Robins is the host he’s also the writer of the award-winning West End play 2:22 – A Ghost Story.
Assisting Danny in his investigations are sceptic Dr Ciarán O’Keeffe and parapsychologist Evelyn Hollow, who pick apart the details of each case to work out what might have happened. Danny also invites viewers to get in touch with their own explanations, and he provides case updates which explore viewers’ theories on the stories.
Alongside the main show, a new visualised podcast Uncanny: Post Mortem also begins on 31st January and will air on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer immediately after the TV episode, bringing fans a frightening Friday night full of 90 minutes of Uncanny.
