Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The Society for Psychical Research, founded 1882, is a real London institution that scientifically investigated hauntings — this series mined their actual published casebooks.
The accompanying book featured expanded versions of episodes and additional cases deemed too strange or sad for television — it's now a cult collector's item.
