Countdown Catch Up and Case 12: Beckoned Towards the Light
Every day in October, Danny Robins will share a short, real-life, possibly paranormal story sent in by you - the Uncanny community.
It's finally here - the first catch up of the 2026 Halloween Countdown. We've had phantom farmers, ghostly babysitters, and even a possibly paranormal Keanu Reeves - but what did you make of them, Uncanny Community? Danny Robins opens the inbox to share your thoughts, comments and theories on the cases so far.
And if that's not enough there's a brand new case too. Was our witness Jacki Beckoned Towards the Light?
