Ghosts - Isy Suttie, Laurence Rickard, Ciarán O'Keeffe and Chris French
2026-10-29
Things that go bump in the night meet the cold light of science as Jessica Fostekew and Prof Adam Rutherford investigate why ghosts continue to haunt our imaginations. Joining them for some spooky science are psychologists Chris French and Ciaran O'Keeffe, comedian Isy Suttie and actor and co-creator of Ghosts Laurence Rickard. From sleep paralysis and haunted houses to séances, paranormal investigations and the power of suggestion, they ask why people see and sense things that aren't there, what makes somewhere feel haunted, and whether science can explain our strangest ghostly encounters. So dim the lights and enter the monkey cage....if you dare!
