Read the TranscriptsPreviously: after seeing the mysterious figure on the widow's walk, Beth rushes back to the lighthouse. She finds Keira with bloodied hands, which, she claims, came from the dead body of Beth's parrot Margot, but the parrot has now disappeared. They hide in the lantern room in case an intruder is still in the building. Keira says she's been feeling "a presence" during her stay, and that she thinks it's Wes. Beth admits she has also felt that she's not alone in the lighthouse. They begin to hear something climbing the lighthouse stairs. Suddenly, the radio turns itself on, and plays what appears to be fragments of Beth and Keira's past conversations. And then - a horrifying scratching and banging at the locked door. Keira tries to convince Beth to open the window so they can escape via the unstable scaffolding, but Beth desperately wants to stay. She believes the entity could be Gabby. Keira finally reveals that she pushed the glass at the seance - Gabby never came through. It was her.

Read the transcriptsPreviously: Lighthouse BnB owner Beth has been unexpectedly visited by an estranged friend, Keira. Over an awkward dinner, Keira tells Beth what's happened since they last met. Not only is Keira a widow, but her late husband was their mutual university friend Wes (who was present at the seance when they communed with the entity claiming to be Gabby). To Beth's disgust, Keira also reveals that she has come to the lighthouse to write a book about spiritualism. Beth investigates a loud thumping noise upstairs, which turns out to be the open bathroom window. Keira claims she never opened it. Next morning, housekeeper Merta tells Keira the story of the ghostly keeper said to be haunting the lighthouse. While Beth tries to stave off an oncoming migraine, Keira tells her that the injured seagull on the widow's walk is now dead.And in Episode 1, Beth tells Merta that she has been receiving gross calls from "a heavy breather".CONTENT WARNINGS: grief/bereavement, chronic illness, animal death, horrorGHOSTED is a five-episode psychological drama and ghost horror story, written and directed by Lindsay Sharman, with music, sound design and editing by Laurence Owen.Featuring Beth Eyre as Beth, Lucy Roslyn as Keira, Tessa Hatts as Merta, Laurence Owen as Wes and the Radio DJ, and Lindsay Sharman as Theresa.This series is supported by Arts Council England National Lottery project grants, and our Ko-fi supporters.
