Did anyone see the new programme called Uncanny last night about supernatural things? It started as podcasts by Danny Robins & was so popular it now has its own tv series. I've believed in these sort of things since my mum & her sister stayed at Margells, a landmark trust house in Devon, then I had my own experience in a Manor House open to the public in Oxfordshire. This is a topic long overdue a serious study and I thought the program was excellent. Basically the person with the experience told us what had happened & Danny asked questions to make sure the story was clear then well qualified sceptics & believers were asked what they made of the story. Some things could be explained rationally, some couldn't. Most weirdly one woman as a child saw a woman in her house & knew her name. She moved out, then a second girl with no connection to the 1st family moved in with her family & had the same experience, even down to the name! Uncanny indeed

It's all nonsense , nothing that can't be explained

So you’re calling us liars. There is no other way to interpret your post.

I did watch about half of the first programme in this series, but found I really disliked the presenter.
Instant hackles.😁
Sounded a good idea for people to tell their own stories but for me needed a more serious presenter.

I've just watched and found it interesting, but left me with lots of questions:
-Didn't any of the 3 girls talk to their parents about what they saw?
-I think Kate had a sibling. Did they see anything?
-Have the current owners seen anything?
The presenter said they may re-visit the story in a later episode. I hope some of my questions may be answered. I hate lose ends.

I saw the programme and though that it was dreadfully composed and edited, doing no favours to the fascinating subject matter, and seemingly going out of it's way to make everyone seem as amateur and incompetent as possible.
eg, woman tells tale of seeing a named woman in her house as a child. Instead of checking the census or the Land Registry we are taken to a random pub to listen to the 'opinions' of self styled experts.

I had loads of questions too, but if they revisit it I hope they'll be answered. I didn't mind the presenter but now you mention it having the experts in a pub was not a good idea
