Uncanny

Creepy texts, a ghastly apparition, and a stuffed rabbit with a box cutter.
Danny and the team dip back into the story of the South Shields poltergeist - the first big paranormal case of the digital age.
As the bizarre and terrifying events plaguing a young family in the coastal town of South Shields escalate, Danny and his experts must weigh the evidence. Could there be a rational explanation for what's happening - or is something far stranger at work?

This week Danny and the team investigate the first big paranormal case of the digital age - the South Shields poltergeist.
It's a disturbing and well-documented possible poltergeist haunting, where a young family in the coastal town of South Shields are beset by a series of bizarre and sometimes terrifying events.
Is someone trying to frighten them, or could they be in real danger from something that's harder to explain?

Danny Robins and the team unpack a terrifying mystery that has remained unsolved for almost 200 years - Spring-heeled Jack.
The demonic character stalked the streets of Victorian England at night, reportedly slashing his victims with sharp claws, breathing blue-white fire, and evading the police by making impossible leaps over rooftops.
But was he a real person, a supernatural entity, or the product of mass hysteria?

It’s the mid-19th century, and HMS Asp is on a routine mission charting the British coastline for the Royal Navy. But strange sounds and a ghostly apparition unsettle the crew, far away from the safety of shore. As fear spreads among the men whispers of a haunting take hold.
Is this the strain of isolation playing tricks on the mind? Do the crew have cabin fever - or could someone, or something, be moving below decks?
Danny Robins investigates, with Evelyn Hollow and Dr Ciaràn O'Keeffe.

Spring 1973, the Isle of Wight, and two young children have an truly weird encounter.
In marshland near Sandown Airport they meet a 7-foot creature with a yellow hat, three-fingered hands, and triangles for eyes.
He calls himself ‘All Colours Sam’. Was Sam an otherworldly visitor, or merely the product of a child’s imagination? And is there any connection to an epidemic of UFO sightings over the Isle of Wight at the same time?
The truth is out there - Danny, Ciaran and Evelyn investigate.
