  • A quality paranormal show at last

    So often, shows like these can disappoint with the listener/viewer wondering why the host didn't ask obvious questions. Uncanny DOES ask the questions you'd ask yourself, has quality relatable witnesses and even managed to step up the intrigue bit by bit throughout each episode. I've recommended this to soooo many people

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Series 5: Case 6: Impossible Encounters
Q: Do you believe that it is possible?
I believe that it's arrogant for us to assume that we know everything there is to know scientifically, especially about time.
Series 5: Case 6: Impossible Encounters
Q: What do you do? Do you tell anybody about it?
Yes, eventually my colleague who's a nurse owned me. And I said to her, you'll never guess what I just did.
Series 5: Case 5: The Goth Poltergeist
Q: Were you drunk? Had you taken any drugs?
None of us had any money to drink or take drugs.

Terry suspects he was aboard the ship during the missing hours after witnessing the UFO. He recounts a feeling of fear and lack of control during the event.
Introducing Lady Swindlers Series 2
Q: Do you think women are particularly drawn to alternative therapies because sometimes they've been left out of conventional medicine that's been more centred on men?
Yes, the world is built around a male model; even female heart attacks are underdiagnosed because people look for male symptoms.
