Halloween Special: Danny Robins finds out the TRUTH about GHOSTS

For Halloween, I've got Danny Robins, a BBC Sounds podcaster and playwright who investigates the truth about ghosts and paranormal belief. His play 2:22 is in the West End, about a ghostly ghoul, yes, that appears at 2:22 each morning. He’s made it big in the BBC podcasting world, with the Battersea Poltergeist series making a huge splash, as did his series Uncanny and Haunted. His latest podcast series is The Witch Farm, so do check that out and follow Danny on twitter and all those things.
