| 7/21/26 | Summer Specials 2026: Little Biter | Rebecca has lived in the same Victorian house in the seaside town of Ramsgate for her whole life. For over 30 years, members of her family have repeatedly dreamed of a little girl who bites them while they sleep. Sometimes they catch glimpses of her in the house, with a bucket and spade. After finding the skeleton of a dog buried on their garden, they start hearing a phantom dog running around the house's corridors. Rebecca's family live happily alongside their spectral visitors, but at certain times of year a sinister male presence seems to manifest. Who are the little girl and the man, and what is the dark history of the Ramsgate house?Written and presented by Danny Robins Research by Nancy Bottomley Editing and sound design: Charlie Brandon-King Filming and editing: Robb Leech Music: Evelyn Sykes Theme music by Lanterns on the Lake Commissioning executive: Paula McDonnell Commissioning editor: Rhian Roberts Produced by Danny Robins and Simon BarnardA Bafflegab and Uncanny Media production for BBC Radio 4 and BBC Sounds | 36m 48s | ||||||

| 7/14/26 | Summer Specials 2026: Cold Cases Live: The Enfield Poltergeist | Thrown objects, apparent levitation, and a dead man who seems to speak through a 12-year-old girl. It can only be The Enfield Poltergeist. It's a story that made national headlines in 1977, and has caused controversy ever since. Was the phenomena genuinely paranomal, or did a 12-year-old girl somehow pull off a hoax that fooled dozens of eyewitnesses - from journalists to the police. Danny Robins and the team look at the evidence, and talk to Graham Morris, whose iconic photographs documented activity inside the house, in a special episode recorded live at the Crossed Wires Festival in Sheffield.Presented by Danny Robins Experts: Evelyn Hollow and Dr Ciaran O'Keeffe Story sections by Victoria Lloyd & Sarah Morgan Research by Nancy Bottomley Filming and editing by Spiritland Editing and sound design by Charlie Brandon-King Theme music by Katherine Priddy Theme co-produced by Jennifer Ann Keller Incidental music by Evelyn Sykes Commissioning executive: Paula McDonnell Commissioning editor: Rhian Roberts Produced by Simon Barnard and Victoria Lloyd A Bafflegab and Uncanny Media production for BBC Radio 4 and BBC Sounds | 44m 48s | ||||||

Then his colleagues see a phantom entity in his office on a work video call. What's going on? Ciaran O'Keeffe and Evelyn Hollow help Danny Robins sort the paranormal from the merely odd in a special episode recorded at the Hay Festival 2026.Written and presented by Danny Robins Editing and sound design: Charlie Brandon-King Music: Evelyn Sykes Theme music by Lanterns on the Lake Commissioning executive: Paula McDonnell Commissioning editor: Rhian Roberts Produced by Danny Robins and Simon BarnardA Bafflegab and Uncanny Media production for BBC Radio 4 | 33m 53s | ||||||

And did one intrepid member of Team Believer really see Spring Heeled Jack - or something very like him - in Hyde Park in London, in 1997?Presented by Danny Robins Experts: Evelyn Hollow and Dr Ciaran O'Keeffe Script by Victoria Lloyd Research by Nancy Bottomley Filming and editing by Robb Leech Editing and sound design by Charlie Brandon-King Theme music by Katherine Priddy Theme co-produced by Jennifer Ann Keller Incidental music by Evelyn Sykes Commissioning executive: Paula McDonnell Commissioning editor: Rhian Roberts Produced by Simon Barnard & Victoria Lloyd A Bafflegab and Uncanny Media production for BBC Radio 4 and BBC Sounds | 41m 20s | ||||||

| 6/16/26 | Cold Cases: Case 11: Borley Rectory, Part 1 | Danny and the team turn their attention to Borley Rectory, which has often been called the most haunted house in England.It’s a sprawling, spectacular story that spans more than 60 years and features mysterious messages scrawled on the walls, unexplained noises, and at least one phantom nun. The house became a noted paranormal hotspot soon after it was built in 1862, and was made famous by legendary ghost hunter Harry Price. But was he a meticulous paranormal researcher, or a showman who couldn't resist gilding the lily? And does the truth about Borley lie in the supernatural, or in the all-too-human stories of the families who lived there?Presented by Danny Robins Experts: Evelyn Hollow and Dr Ciaran O'Keeffe Story sections by Simon Barnard and Dale Shaw Research by Nancy Bottomley Special thanks to Sean O'Connor, author of The Haunting of Borley Rectory Filming and editing by Robb Leech Editing and sound design by Charlie Brandon-King Theme music by Katherine Priddy Theme co-produced by Jennifer Ann Keller Incidental music by Evelyn Sykes Commissioning executive: Paula McDonnell Commissioning editor: Rhian Roberts Produced by Simon Barnard and Victoria LloydA Bafflegab and Uncanny Media production for BBC Radio 4 | 29m 19s | ||||||

As the bizarre and terrifying events plaguing a young family in the coastal town of South Shields escalate, Danny and his experts must weigh the evidence. Could there be a rational explanation for what's happening - or is something far stranger at work?Presented by Danny Robins Experts: Evelyn Hollow and Dr Ciaran O'Keeffe Story sections by Victoria Lloyd Research by Nancy Bottomley Filming and editing by Robb Leech Editing and sound design by Charlie Brandon-King Theme music by Katherine Priddy Theme co-produced by Jennifer Ann Keller Incidental music by Evelyn Sykes Commissioning executive: Paula McDonnell Commissioning editor: Rhian Roberts Produced by Simon Barnard and Victoria LloydA Bafflegab and Uncanny Media production for BBC Radio 4 | 28m 21s | ||||||
