  • Summer Specials 2026: Little Biter

    Rebecca has lived in the same Victorian house in the seaside town of Ramsgate for her whole life. For over 30 years, members of her family have repeatedly dreamed of a little girl who bites them while they sleep. Sometimes they catch glimpses of her in the house, with a bucket and spade.

    After finding the skeleton of a dog buried on their garden, they start hearing a phantom dog running around the house's corridors. Rebecca's family live happily alongside their spectral visitors, but at certain times of year a sinister male presence seems to manifest. Who are the little girl and the man, and what is the dark history of the Ramsgate house?

  • Summer Specials 2026: Cold Cases Live: The Enfield Poltergeist

    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.

  • Summer Specials 2026: Live from Hay Festival 2026

    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.

  • Cold Cases: Case Update

    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?
