Are ghosts real? In October 2022 Danny Robins, a writer and journalist, launched an investigation which became an incredibly popular podcast series, The Battersea Poltergeist.

Listeners’ response was overwhelming and many sent in their own stories of experiences with the supernatural. Robins took some of those and made another series he called Uncanny. It has become hugely popular podcast and is now a TV series.

Each programme gives someone a chance to describe their encounter with the supernatural. Two experts also share their insights. Evelyn Hollow, a paranormal investigator, serves as “team believer”; she is sympathetic to a supernatural explanation. Ciarán O’Keeffe is the opposite, “team sceptic”; he is a professional psychologist with a clear understanding of how human beings can fool themselves.
