Bringing Danny Robins’ hit podcast to the screen, the new BBC paranormal investigation series Uncanny takes viewers on a chilling exploration of the world of the paranormal that will have even the biggest sceptics questioning their beliefs!

Robins, known for his engaging and downright spooky storytelling, turns his audio success into a visually captivating (and somehow more haunting) experience when translated to the screen. His genuine curiosity and open-minded approach make him relatable to both believers and sceptics alike.

The series delves into three intriguing cases, each more spine-tingling than the last. From the mysterious Miss Howard in Melbourn, Cambridgeshire, an Edwardian spectre who haunts not one but two unsuspecting families, to the eerie case of three students battling an evil spirit in their student house in Oxford, these chilling tales will send shivers down your spine!

Visits to the original locations capture the haunting atmosphere of these real-life testimonies of ghost encounters and the eerie experiences of those involved. The series blends chilling reenactments with witness interviews and scientific investigation, striking the balance between entertainment and education. The scientific experiments and analytical aspects bring a sense of authenticity, allowing the show to appeal to a wider audience than similar productions might.

Discussions with experts and equal input from both ‘team sceptic’ (offering rational explanations for what has occurred) and ‘team believer’ (those who have dedicated their life to the study of the supernatural) means Uncanny offers a refreshingly open-minded approach to the paranormal, allowing viewers to make their own judgements. Whichever camp you’re in, this series will undoubtedly leave you with goosebumps and a newfound appreciation for the unknown. With engaging storytelling, top-notch production, and compelling cases, Uncanny is a must-watch for anyone intrigued by the paranormal. Sleep tight…
