Across the UK, across continental North America, at around the world, on the internet, by webcast, and by podcast, my name is Howard Hughes, and this is the unexplained.

Thank you for returning to my show, thank you very much for the response to our haunting show, direct in stereo from Hampton Court Palace.

Very exciting to go there, I love that place, and even though I don't live too far from it, you know, I don't get to go there as often as I should, and if you're ever in London.

You have to visit Hampton Court Palace, it is about a half hour train ride from the centre of London, so if you're staying in London and visiting sightseeing here, make that trip, you won't regret it, and they claim it is the most haunted place in Britain.

And I have no doubt that it probably is there are so many stories about it, and even that famous YouTube video that circulated a few years ago, and a lot of people claimed, nah, it was a fake.

Looks pretty credible to me, but you decide, and thank you to Rupert Matthews, the author of Haunted Surrey, and I find him a great guy, really good to talk to, and let's hope that that book that he's got out, does really well, but, you know, a man with a lot of knowledge about ghosts, always interesting to hear.

Now this time round, the guest is a special one, his name is Gerard Artson, and he's a man who I find very hard to describe, because he's not exactly a UFO ad alien man.

He's not exactly an extra terrestrial or interdimensional personality man, and he's not exactly a man who comments on current affairs, and what's going on on this planet.

But he's all of those things together, I think. So after trying for a while, and one or two false starts along the way, mostly to do with my schedule during this summer, we've been able to connect with Gerard Artson in Amsterdam, going to cross to him very soon.

I've been trying to get the best possible digital connection to him. There are a couple of problems on this digital line. Nothing very serious, and if you used to listen to shortwave radio in the old days, you'll know what feeding and interference is like.

This is nothing like that, but there are occasional digital glitches on this line, but I think he's worth hearing, and I can hear every word, so I hope you can bear with it and hear it.

Now, if you're still having problems using Windows 7 and iTunes to get these shows, let me and let them know about this, but I think the problems have been resolved now, which is good news.

I know that one or two of the shows like the 9-11 special, a couple of the recent ones, some of you using Windows 7 and iTunes had problems getting hold of.

So the answer in the first instance to that problem really is, if you want to find out what's new on the show, come first to the website, www.theunexplained.tv, www.theunexplained.tv, designed by Adam Cornwell, of course, as ever, at Creative Hotspot in Liverpool.

That is your one-stop shop for everything to do with this show. If you'd like to make a donation there, gratefully received to keep this work going.

And also to provide, I don't know, a platform for the future for this show. I want to develop it, I want it to be much bigger.

I'm not a great believer in the mainstream media doing shows like this because if they do, they don't do them right, and they trivialize them.

I think you have to have a certain love for a knowledge of the subjects to do shows like this, and so I don't think the mainstream media is ever really going to do it there.

And I say that as somebody who does some news work in mainstream media, being a journalist and on air, it's hard for me to say that, but it's just the truth.

You look at things the way they are now and you know that the mainstream media is not really going to do this kind of thing.

And I think that's increasingly going to be the case that to get the information that you need in this fast-changing world where events are shocking and move at an incredible pace, I don't think you're going to get it anymore from the mainstream media.

I think we have to make our own arrangements as they say. If you support that idea, if you want to give me some thoughts on the show, please email me through the website www.theunexplained.tv.
