The Hitchings family experience strange new phenomena, as
drawings appear on the walls and rooms are violently trashed, but
strangest of all are handwritten letters that appear, seemingly
from Donald the poltergeist.

Meanwhile ghost hunter Harold Chibbett makes progress in his
attempts to communicate, becoming convinced he is on the verge of
discovering Donald’s true identity.

Danny assesses the new developments, alongside experts Ciaran
O’Keefe and Evelyn Hollow. How can these things be possible? Are
there other more human explanations for what is going on?

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.
