Ghosts

Have you ever worried about being scared by the ghosties, or grabbed by the ghoulies? Then today might be the chance you’ve been looking for to rip the covers off the mystery, or just stay away from that trap door.Ghost hunting has exploded in popularity over the last couple of decades, largely thanks to TV shows like Most Haunted, Ghost Adventures, and more recently countless YouTube and TikTok creators wandering around dark buildings with gadgets. But as the hobby has grown, so has the market for ghost hunting equipment, and that now includes a whole world of smartphone and tablet apps that claim to detect spirits, translate their words, or even display them on screen. So how much of this is genuine investigation, and how much is entertainment dressed up as evidence?NewsThere’s a tiny digital camera inside these retro 35mm film rolls | The VergeGhosts TV sitcom brought back to life as a feature film - BBC NewsThis fortnight we are recommendingKris:The Roses (Jay Roach, 2025)You Heard It Here First (Chris Macausland, BBC Sounds).
