Been catching up on iPlayer with final episode of Uncanny- the latest one about the shadow man in Crofton.

AIBU to be completely freaked out by this one? At first I thought it was the most easily explained until we found out his friends and family had all seen the shadow man around him.

don’t want to put any spoiler alerts in, but the post mortem podcast has seem even more scary revelations which could explain it, but are not reassuring in the slightest.

Can Anyone shed any light on what this shadow man can be? ( no pun intended!)

I enjoy 'Uncanny ,'. It's interesting to see how things are defined and explained..
But...are you team believer...or team sceptic.

DH and I found it very disturbing, though it's a good that Julian is in a far better place. I wonder what he discussed with the present occupant of the house. I suppose we'll never know, but it seemed to give him closure.

YANBU, it proper shat me up. 😅 Not easily explained away.

I think the people on Uncanny, both radio and TV are generally straightforward, believable people.

That's not to say I 'believe ' in ghosts, but several of the cases are very puzzling.

It's interesting how different episodes affect different people.

I was particularly weirded out by the Miss Howard episode.

I don’t think it’s pretend at all. I’m not saying there isn’t a non paranormal explanation but i don’t think Danny Robbins is making a fictional show. I guess the friends could have banded together to make something up?

No idea off to watch it now. Only listened to the podcast, inc this episode. will report back.

It's an entertainment show.

It's all pretend.
