They terrify their occupants, play havoc with the dreams of Real Estate dealers, act as host to shivering, sleepless psychical researchers and stubbornly refuse to yield up their shadowy secrets. Yet, as Arthur C Clarke recognises from personal experience of his childhood home in England, places that are said to be haunted - houses, factories, battlefields - never fail to fascinate, to stimulate theories or to demand investigation. The programme visits the most puzzling, the most terrifying the world has to offer, analysing eyewitness testimony and joining the real-life Ghostbusters in their quest for the evanescent truth. Here are some choice gleanings from the vast harvest of haunting.
