Model and influencer Charli Howard tells her ghost story to Danny Robins. It’s 2017 and Charli is alone in New York, trying to carve out a modelling career.

The previous resident of the room fled in fear and Charli is about to experience her very own dose of terror at the hands of a malicious male spirit. As objects go flying and the house resounds to terrifying noises, Charli decides to take matters into her own hands. Can she exorcise her supernatural stalker?

Case 3: The Todmorden UFO
Retired policeman Alan Godfrey tells us the story of the case that has obsessed him for his whole life. When Alan tries to solve a weird and seemingly impossible murder in the small northern town of Todmorden, it leads to a bizarre UFO sighting and then a strange and sinister government cover up that ends up affecting Alan’s life. Danny Robins explores if there is real evidence of extra-terrestrial visits to Earth. Did Alan genuinely have an alien encounter and, if not, why were the real-life ‘men in black’ from the government so interested?
