After the exorcism, Shirley’s fame increases, but as she’s drawn
into a press expose by two journalists, the world wants to know –
is this a haunting or a hoax?

At Number 63, the poltergeist activity seems to intensify, taking
a terrifying new direction that puts the whole family in danger.

Written and presented by Danny Robins, starring Dafne Keen (His
Dark Materials), Toby Jones (Detectorists), Burn Gorman
(Torchwood) and Alice Lowe (Sightseers).

With original theme music by Mercury-nominated Nadine Shah and
Ben Hillier, this gripping eight-part series interweaves a
chilling supernatural thriller set in 50s London with a
fascinating modern-day investigation into Britain’s strangest
ever haunting – a mystery unsolved... until now.
