A macabre fascination leads us into a world of real and rumoured stories of people walled up in buildings — from castles and crypts to cottages and campuses. Join us as we quiz each other (and our long-suffering pilot Simon) on which tales are fact, fiction, or just dodgy urban legend. There’s history, horror, and a surprising amount of flapper dresses and mobsters. Plus, we bust some widely believed myths that turned out to be absolute bollocks. Think you can tell real from rumour? Lock yourself in.

Featured:

• Chilling stories of people “immured” in walls from medieval castles to modern renovations

• Real vs rumour: a quiz of creepy myths and true crimes

• Why Everest might look like a burial ground to alien archaeologists
