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?Written and presented by Danny Robins Research by Nancy Bottomley Editing and sound design: Charlie Brandon-King Filming and editing: Robb Leech Music: Evelyn Sykes Theme music by Lanterns on the Lake Commissioning executive: Paula McDonnell Commissioning editor: Rhian Roberts Produced by Danny Robins and Simon BarnardA Bafflegab and Uncanny Media production for BBC Radio 4 and BBC Sounds

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.Presented by Danny Robins Experts: Evelyn Hollow and Dr Ciaran O'Keeffe Story sections by Victoria Lloyd & Sarah Morgan Research by Nancy Bottomley Filming and editing by Spiritland Editing and sound design by Charlie Brandon-King Theme music by Katherine Priddy Theme co-produced by Jennifer Ann Keller Incidental music by Evelyn Sykes Commissioning executive: Paula McDonnell Commissioning editor: Rhian Roberts Produced by Simon Barnard and Victoria Lloyd A Bafflegab and Uncanny Media production for BBC Radio 4 and BBC Sounds

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.Written and presented by Danny Robins Editing and sound design: Charlie Brandon-King Music: Evelyn Sykes Theme music by Lanterns on the Lake Commissioning executive: Paula McDonnell Commissioning editor: Rhian Roberts Produced by Danny Robins and Simon BarnardA Bafflegab and Uncanny Media production for BBC Radio 4

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?Presented by Danny Robins Experts: Evelyn Hollow and Dr Ciaran O'Keeffe Script by Victoria Lloyd Research by Nancy Bottomley Filming and editing by Robb Leech Editing and sound design by Charlie Brandon-King Theme music by Katherine Priddy Theme co-produced by Jennifer Ann Keller Incidental music by Evelyn Sykes Commissioning executive: Paula McDonnell Commissioning editor: Rhian Roberts Produced by Simon Barnard & Victoria Lloyd A Bafflegab and Uncanny Media production for BBC Radio 4 and BBC Sounds

Cold Cases: Case 12: Borley Rectory, Part 2

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?
