Phantom of the Opera, The Curse of the Ninth, the play about a Scottish king that we mustn't mention by name — we’ve all heard the stories. Theaters are some of the most paranormal locations on earth, stalked by ghosts and curses. Is it the electric energy of the adoring crowds that seeps into the walls as an emotional memory?

In 1917, three shepherd children in Fátima, Portugal claimed that they met an Angel in the woods. It told them to keep coming back every month until it was ready to perform a "great miracle". However, the more the children and their parents learnt about this figure, the more they suspected that this was no angel... this was something PARANORMAL.

When The Dakota was built in New York City in 1880 it was an oddity. Built with no expense spared, it was beautiful and futuristic - capable of powering itself and all it's surrounding streets with it's own basement power station - yet so far away from downtown Manhattan that it was named The Dakota because it might as well have been the midwest. But as soon as construction was complete it became clear that something was 'off' about the building. Strange and unfortunate events befell the first people to live there, and over time, ghosts were seen stalking it's halls. The building has been home to countless celebrities over the years and many have had paranormal experiences of their own. Is The Dakota as haunted as they say? Time for Rory and Kit to investigate.

How does a plane even go missing? That's what Frederick's friends, family, and colleagues all must have wondered when he never arrived at his destination one fateful day in 1978. Normally search parties would look at flight paths or hunt for wreckage, but this time they had a larger and more ominous clue - the last transmission Frederick made moments before he went missing, describing what can only be explained as some kind of UFO following him, before the communication was abruptly ended and he was never seen again. More clues would emerge in the coming days that Rory and Kit must now pore over and decide, was he truly abducted by aliens?

On Boxing Day 1973 audiences around the world flocked to the must-see cinema event of the year - The Exorcist - clamouring to see if the stories were true; that it was the most shocking film ever made.

But an extremely scary movie isn't paranormal, is it?
