Hello, hello, we are one day closer to Halloween.

I hope you've been enjoying all of the bite-sized stories so far in our Halloween countdown.

We have got another one for you in just a moment.

But first, I want to do a little case update for you, looking at some of the questions and theories on some of the cases we've heard so far.

So first up, we had case one. Mrs. Murphy says hello. This was where five-year-old Billy was visiting his grand, when he was greeted by an old woman in the bedroom, who introduced herself as Mrs. Murphy.

And she asked after his mum and grandmother, remember. When Billy passed on the message, I screamed.

Mrs Murphy, it turned out, was a former tenant who was very much deceased.

Emma Lowe emailed to ask.

I wonder if Mrs. Murphy had ever visited Billy's grandparents or mum before. It might not have been the first time

because they had such a strong reaction. Interesting point. Does that visceral instant reaction from

Billy's mum and grand suggest that Mrs Murphy had reached out to them before? It's just a recurring

phenomenon. Helen from Bristol says, a crucial question would be whether Billy had heard any

discussion about or reference to Mrs Murphy in the family. If so, then it wouldn't be unusual

for a five-year-old to imagine her physical presence. If he'd never heard of her, though,

I have no explanation. Keep your thoughts coming. Case three, another Alice

got you talking. Remember, this was where our witness Alice's sister felt that she'd seen Alice

in the bathroom only for the real Alice to then walk in. Was it a doddleganger or some future

version of Alice stuck in a time loop. So many theories coming in on this.

The case took place in Ranmore in Sheffield,

and Lauren wrote in to say,

I thought, hmm, I wonder if Ranmore is on a fault line.
