Hello, this is Danny here.

Now, for years now on Uncadney, we have been exploring real people's potentially paranormal

experiences, really strange encounters with all sorts of different phenomena.

But one thing that you've been asking me for a long time now is why don't we look at historic

haunting cases, classic paranormal stories? And well, look, you asked and we answer now because

we have a new series, uncanny, cold cases investigating all sorts of classic hauntings, ghosts, UFOs, all sorts of different

things. And I'm joined by Dr. Kieran O'Keefe for team skeptic and Evelyn Hollow for team

believer to help me investigate these things. Here we are on the first day of recording

uncanny cold cases. Kind of exciting, Kieran. It is very exciting. I cannot wait to get my investigative

teeth into these cases. We're at a point where we can use modern investigative techniques and

scientific thinking from forensic science, forensic psychology and parapsychology, and really try and

understand these cases. Evelyn, we've got quite a plethora, a cornucopia of different strange cases to look at. Yeah, we've been lucky in that we have so much to pick from. And it also allows us to look at cases that span years and years and years. So for us, it's a bit like getting, you know, the pick of a true crime, you know, box it essentially. Absolutely. I mean, some of these cases are really famous, Kieran, some lesser known. They've kind of been buried in history. Yes, so we are going to be digging out some cases that some of the audience won't have heard of, but there'll be other cases that they may know, and they may only know a little bit about the cases as well. What are you particularly looking forward to? I think for me, if we can investigate Bally Rectory, I think that would be wonderful. There was a case that I was enthralled by when I was a boy, first getting into ghost busting, and here we go. We could potentially be looking at that. All right. Do you want the news? We can investigate Bolly rectory. It's like the X-actor, isn't it? You are going to London, Kieran. You can investigate Bolly Rectory. Evelyn, what about you? What cases that we're going to look at together? Are you particularly getting excited about? For me, it's anything that I can go, okay, I've actually never heard of that before. is great for me. I would really like to look at one of the greatest and most iconic British cases of all time, I think the Black Monk of Pontifract. And I'd also like to look at anything that sort of brings up traditional folklore, anything I can kind of look at the history of an area. I'm personally kind of intrigued by some of the lesser known ones as well.. I mean, there's one that I guess it was really famous in its day. Many people won't know it now,

but going right back to the 1700s, Kieran, Georgian London, the Coch Lane Poltergeist.

Yeah, absolutely. Only really devout students of the paranormal would be aware of the Cochrane Poultergeist case.

But here is a fantastic case that involves physical phenomena, but also legalities, and a huge

variety of very colourful figures associated with it.

It is all to play for. This is a really exciting new adventure for us, really, isn't it?

You know, we've enjoyed doing uncanny so much over the years, but this is a really exciting new adventure for us really isn't it you know we've enjoyed doing uncanny
