The trailer for brand new documentary series “Paranormal: The Girl, The Ghost and The Gravestone” has been released by the BBC – watch from Tuesday 15 August
In this gripping new box-set series, presenter Sian Eleri steps away from her “Chillest Show” on BBC Radio 1 to investigate a whole other genre of “chill”, as she investigates a seemingly ordinary farmhouse called Penyffordd Farm in north Wales which, in the late 1990s, was widely considered the most haunted house in Britain.
The story made local and national headlines as the Gower family who lived at the farm became ever more desperate in their search for answers. More than 300 apparently paranormal events were documented at the house in video footage, audio interviews, photos, and eye-witness accounts – all of which had been locked away, until now.
Reports ranged from words and pictures appearing and disappearing on the walls; objects moving around the house; and multiple witnesses reporting seeing a hooded figure and the ghost of a girl rumoured to be buried in the garden.
With exclusive access to the case archive and to those at the heart of the case, Sian sets out to uncover what really happened at Penyffordd Farm. She starts out as a sceptic, but in a series of chilling and increasingly bizarre twists and turns, Sian is left questioning everything she thought she knew.
Paranormal: The Girl, The Ghost and The Gravestone premieres on BBC Three on Tuesday, 15 August with a double bill with episode 1 at 9pm and episode 2 at 9.30pm and all episodes available via the BBC iPlayer. It will also air on BBC One and BBC One Wales on 16 August at 10.40pm.
