Paranormal - Season 1
Season 1
The Girl, The Ghost and The Gravestone
In Paranormal: The Girl, The Ghost and The Gravestone, Radio 1 presenter Sian Eleri investigates a seemingly ordinary farmhouse 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 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.
Episodes
Episode 1
In this first episode, Sian discovers that the family who lived at Penyffordd Farm became so desperate for answers, they called in a specialist psychologist for help. When Sian meets Dr Daniels, she discovers that despite investigating the events at the farmhouse for several years, he was never able to fully explain what happened there. Out of all the many apparently paranormal cases of his career, this is the one that has always stayed with him and still perplexes him to this day.
Episode 2
Sian is frustrated that she still hasn't been able to contact the Gower family who lived at the farmhouse – David, a former headmaster, his wife Rose-Mary and their son John-Paul. But there is a breakthrough of another kind when the current owner of Penyffordd Farm gets in touch and invites her over to see the house she's heard so much about.
Sian is welcomed in by Michael, who bought the house in Flintshire from the Gowers despite stories that it was haunted. He never believed their accounts, but he has heard rumours of the gravestone of a teenage girl called Jane Jones, which he suspects might still be on the property somewhere.
The archive from Dr Daniels suggests that moving this gravestone was believed to be the precursor for all the strange happenings in the house, so it's the next lead for Sian to chase.
Ghost or not, is there any historical evidence to suggest there really is a girl buried at Penyffordd Farm – and if so, why would she be buried in the garden? Sian tracks down a genealogist to see if there's any truth to the story and finally gets an opportunity to speak to a member of the Gower family…
Episode 3
Sian Eleri's investigation into the haunting of Penyffordd Farm continues as multiple witnesses claim to have seen a hooded figure. Could they all have imagined the same thing?
Episode 4
Sian's investigation into an allegedly haunted house in north Wales concludes. Can she track down the last family members and solve whether this was paranormal or all a hoax?

The catch? They have to work together, with each using their unique skills to solve crimes. For Ellis, that means hard-boiled shoe leather police work; for Max, it means accents, schemes and generally befriending everyone in sight, while driving Ellis absolutely nuts.
