Creepy texts, a ghastly apparition, and a stuffed rabbit with a box cutter.
Danny and the team dip back into the story of the South Shields poltergeist - the first big paranormal case of the digital age.
As the bizarre and terrifying events plaguing a young family in the coastal town of South Shields escalate, Danny and his experts must weigh the evidence. Could there be a rational explanation for what's happening - or is something far stranger at work?
