Uncanny

Thrown objects, apparent levitation, and a dead man who seems to speak through a 12-year-old girl. It can only be The Enfield Poltergeist. It's a story that made national headlines in 1977, and has caused controversy ever since. Was the phenomena genuinely paranomal, or did a 12-year-old girl somehow pull off a hoax that fooled dozens of eyewitnesses - from journalists to the police.
Danny Robins and the team look at the evidence, and talk to Graham Morris, whose iconic photographs documented activity inside the house, in a special episode recorded live at the Crossed Wires Festival in Sheffield.

Peter has been experiencing strange phenomena at work - footsteps out of nowhere, motion sensors being triggered, and mugs that have been smashed in a locked room. Then his colleagues see a phantom entity in his office on a work video call. What's going on?
Ciaran O'Keeffe and Evelyn Hollow help Danny Robins sort the paranormal from the merely odd in a special episode recorded at the Hay Festival 2026.

Danny, Ciaran and Evelyn look back on the Cold Cases they covered, and catch up on stories, theories and questions sent in by the Uncanny Community. Could The Sandown Clown have been a visitor from the future? Did arsenic infused wallpaper cause the death of Scratching Fanny? And did one intrepid member of Team Believer really see Spring Heeled Jack - or something very like him - in Hyde Park in London, in 1997?

Danny and the team return to Borley Rectory, where legendary ghost hunter Harry Price is also about to reopen his case files, bringing 48 researchers to investigate the increasingly violent phenomena that seem to torment everyone who spends time in the house.

Kitchen implements fly through the air, rocks are thrown at the new tenants - and one of them receives horrible injuries to her face which leave her with cuts and a black eye. Borley seems to be earning its reputation as the most haunted house in England. But is Harry Price really a sceptic trying to debunk hoaxes and fakery, or a chancer looking to make a fortune?

Danny and the team turn their attention to Borley Rectory, which has often been called the most haunted house in England.
It’s a sprawling, spectacular story that spans more than 60 years and features mysterious messages scrawled on the walls, unexplained noises, and at least one phantom nun.
The house became a noted paranormal hotspot soon after it was built in 1862, and was made famous by legendary ghost hunter Harry Price. But was he a meticulous paranormal researcher, or a showman who couldn't resist gilding the lily? And does the truth about Borley lie in the supernatural, or in the all-too-human stories of the families who lived there?
