This is an extra midweek episode of Our Paranormal Afterlife.

Experience, the beautiful, disturbing and dangerous world of the unconscious. Alan is a journalist,

broadcaster and author, also specialising in foreign affairs and cyber security. With over 40

years experience in journalism, Alan has written for Time

magazine, The Sunday Times, The Times, the Sunday Telegraph and others, in addition to Sky

working as the BBC's Afghanistan correspondent. Alan specialises in the dark side of the internet.

He is a member of Britain's Society of Authors and National Union of Journalists.
