Uncanny

This Halloween, Danny Robins takes his paranormal partners-in-crime Ciaran O’Keeffe and Evelyn Hollow on an after dark excursion to allegedly one of the most haunted locations in Britain - the Tower of London.

This is a place soaked in some of Britain’s bloodiest history, where Anne Boleyn was beheaded, Guy Fawkes was tortured, and the Princes in the Tower were said to have met a grisly end. There are long-running rumours of hauntings all around the building, but are they real?

Danny meets current and former staff, including Chris, a retired Beefeater whose experiences in the Tower are the stuff of nightmares, and Lee, who also says he saw something supernatural in the very same room. Alden Gregory, curator of the Tower, tells Danny about the ghosts that have been spotted there over the years. But are these experiences paranormal, or a manifestation of the psychological stresses of living surrounded by so much gruesome history?

Recorded on location at the Tower of London, this is a chance for the Uncanny team to get their boots on the ground and find out.

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?

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?

Danny and the team travel back to Canada in the 1870s to investigate the Great Amherst Mystery - one of the most famous and perplexing paranormal cases to come to light during the Golden Age of Spiritualism.

18 year old Esther Cox is the centre of a series of inexplicable, possibly paranormal events - phantom knocking, ghostly messages, and a series of spontaneous fires that start inside the walls of her house.

But is she the victim of a possible paranormal entity, or the mastermind of a devious hoax?

Creepy texts, a ghastly apparition, and a stuffed rabbit with a box cutter.

Danny and the team dip back into the story of the South Shields poltergeist - the first big paranormal case of the digital age.

As the bizarre and terrifying events plaguing a young family in the coastal town of South Shields escalate, Danny and his experts must weigh the evidence. Could there be a rational explanation for what's happening - or is something far stranger at work?

This week Danny and the team investigate the first big paranormal case of the digital age - the South Shields poltergeist.

It's a disturbing and well-documented possible poltergeist haunting, where a young family in the coastal town of South Shields are beset by a series of bizarre and sometimes terrifying events.

Is someone trying to frighten them, or could they be in real danger from something that's harder to explain?

Danny Robins and the team unpack a terrifying mystery that has remained unsolved for almost 200 years - Spring-heeled Jack.

The demonic character stalked the streets of Victorian England at night, reportedly slashing his victims with sharp claws, breathing blue-white fire, and evading the police by making impossible leaps over rooftops.

But was he a real person, a supernatural entity, or the product of mass hysteria?

It’s the mid-19th century, and HMS Asp is on a routine mission charting the British coastline for the Royal Navy. But strange sounds and a ghostly apparition unsettle the crew, far away from the safety of shore. As fear spreads among the men whispers of a haunting take hold.

Is this the strain of isolation playing tricks on the mind? Do the crew have cabin fever - or could someone, or something, be moving below decks?

Danny Robins investigates, with Evelyn Hollow and Dr Ciaràn O'Keeffe.

Spring 1973, the Isle of Wight, and two young children have an truly weird encounter.

In marshland near Sandown Airport they meet a 7-foot creature with a yellow hat, three-fingered hands, and triangles for eyes.

He calls himself ‘All Colours Sam’. Was Sam an otherworldly visitor, or merely the product of a child’s imagination? And is there any connection to an epidemic of UFO sightings over the Isle of Wight at the same time?

The truth is out there - Danny, Ciaran and Evelyn investigate.

Danny Robins has a close encounter with the original alien abduction case.

On a quiet night in 1961, Barney and Betty Hill are driving home through New Hampshire when they see something in the sky that will change their lives forever. What they recount is a series of experiences so strange that even sceptics struggle to explain them - from missing time to vivid, seemingly impossible memories of an encounter with beings who may not be human.

Dr Ciaran O’Keefe and Evelyn Hollow are on hand as ever to help make sense of what might really have happened. It’s the OG alien abduction story - but what do the team make of it, 60 years later?

Danny Robins investigates a potential poltergeist haunting in the very first episode of Uncanny Cold Cases, a new series investigating some of the spookiest paranormal events ever documented. The series kicks off with a two-part story that’s been called Britain's most violent ever poltergeist case - The Black Monk of Pontefract.

When the Pritchard family move into 30 East Drive in Pontefract, doors slam, objects fly, and the family quickly realise they're not alone in the house. They call the mischievous entity Mr Nobody. Is something supernatural stalking the Pritchards? Or can the team find a more straightforward explanation?

Uncanny is back with three spine chilling episodes to haunt your long summer evenings.

Danny Robins hosts the visualised podcast for real-life supernatural encounters.

Emily’s Room is the story of Angela, who moves with her young family into a new dream house – where something terrifying apparently lurks.

Angela feels a strange sense of presence and her daughter Emily claims to see the ghost of a little girl and an old man in her bedroom. When a babysitter also seemingly witnesses this presence, things all start to feel very real – three pet hamsters are found dead, laid out in the very same place in the hall and Emily is seemingly pushed down the stairs – by, she claims, the Old Man.
