Image: AI-generated (Bing AI / Dall-E 3) With Halloween just around the corner, it is not surprising to see a flurry of paranormal-related shows making their debut on some of the most popular TV channels and streaming platforms.

This latest example, which comes courtesy of the BBC, is entitled Hauntings and features four episodes, each focusing on a different real-life paranormal case.

Episode 1 takes a look at the Enfield Poltergeist - the tale of a family in Enfield, London who in 1977 became terrorized by paranormal activity that centered around 11-year-old Janet Hodgson.The case was extremely well documented thanks to the efforts of investigator Maurice Grosse and continues to remain a topic of controversy and debate even today.

Episode 2 of the show is all about the real-life haunting that inspired The Conjuring movie, while Episode 3 looks at the story of the Edinburgh Executioner, which saw paranormal activity ensue after a homeless man broke into a tomb in Greyfriars Kirkyard in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1998.

The series is rounded off by Episode 4 which investigates a spate of mysterious ghost sightings, disappearances and other phenomena at Lake Lanier, Georgia.

All four episodes can be streamed now on BBC iPlayer and will debut on Paramount+ on October 28th.
