I think the part that really appeals to me is the fact that it’s both drama and documentary. Like, one minute we’re hearing the family suffering the wrath of the poltergeist, the next Danny’s doing experiments and interviewing people. I’m really captivated to the story. I’ve listened to it a lot...Read full review »

He is a great guy but I don’t know if he’s in a hurry to do it but I don’t want him in his car and I just want him

This show will have you guessing all the way through. The interview portions are great, the sound effects are chilling, and everything is plausible enough to make you jump when listening to this late at night when you’re home alone. Excellent production!

Ah the bbc…. I want to poke fun at this podcast but let’s just say that (spoilers), the evidence shows that it was a hoax. Now let’s talk production. We need a theme tune, so let’s wheel some people who sound like they’re fresh off the killing Eve set to do it, I guess you’re getting your moneys...Read full review »

I’ve been interested in paranormal stories for quite long time. I was so enthralled by this one that I listened to all the episodes at once. Great radio work by Danny Robbins!
Thioboy via Apple Podcasts · France · 06/08/23
Really well-done and entertaining. The “investigation” gets hilarious as it is is obviously biased toward belief in the “haunting” and paranormal. Will just expect you to accept as facts “historical findings” from whoever and observations from the “paranormal expert.” The “skeptic” frames...Read full review »

What a treat! Really, really good.

Would have been a great podcast to complete, but for the fact that episode 8 is subscription only. Super disappointed.
NinjaInMelb via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 03/24/23
Great Series, wish I were living in the UK so I could see the News TV Shows of Danny. If you want a scare while Jogging in twilight … Go for the plenty shows of Danny :O)
Caro&Al via Apple Podcasts · Germany · 03/22/23
Entertaining, but it was obvious to anyone with an open mind from the start that Shirley, a young girl desperate for attention and drama was the source. Obvious to all but apparently not to the author of this podcast. Although it claims to be the true story, it’s very heavily dramatised - to the...Read full review »

Boring and not engaging
Cryptologik via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/13/22
Would have been much better if it didn’t have the Archers style cheesy voice overs.

My Brother told me to listen in, after discussing a paranormal event which happened to him. I’m sceptical but really enjoyed theBattersea poltergeist.
LisaUKMorris via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 09/16/22
I quite enjoyed this series but it wasn’t quite what I expected. It’s very much a radio play and I was expecting something explaining and looking at evidence. I found the Mary Poppins London accents a bit annoying and the lean to Radio 4 drama: ‘I’ll just close the blinds” (cue sound effect)....Read full review »

Love the story within the story. The “guests” and narrator are so believable in their respective roles, combined with the tie ins to Enfield…as the listener, it’s a treat to actually begin to buy the tale. Transportive, entertaining & clever.
RhodesyB via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/23/22
Great story, excellent acting and fab sound design. One of the best audio dramas out there. Cleverly weaves real famous cases like the Enfield poltergeist into this fictional narrative.
Arti G via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 07/22/22
Very interesting and entertaining podcast. Keeps you entertained and always wanting more
Englandjamie via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 06/02/22
I’ve enjoyed Danny’s other podcasts Haunted and Uncanny. But the decision to have dramatic re-enactments for this story was a mistake. It blurs the line between what is real and what is made up, not to mention the horrible, stilted script and bad acting.
All Paws via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/24/22
Loved it!
skullpunch via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/13/22
This production is of an incredibly high standard, such that even a hardened sceptic can’t help but be swept up in the drama as it unfolds as if in real time. Thrilling listening!
A Wicked Voice via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 04/12/22
Bloody brilliant stuff - not only intelligent but also hilarious in places. The quality of journalism and the dedication to serious investigation is excellent - they take nothing for granted and investigate all explanations seriously.
Listener285839 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 04/06/22
Great podcast loved it from start to finish All Danny’s ghostly podcasts are very good
Adam/ lurgan northern ireland via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 03/17/22
I disagree with another reviewer that the acting in this was hammy. Toby Jones is a very good voice actor. The girl playing Shirley is excellent too. The production values are top notch compared to most podcasts. It’s all a hoax as becomes clear at the end, even by the show’s own evidence. Evelyn...Read full review »

The acting parts are tedious. If I wanted to listen to an audio book I would. The rest of it so far is good.
guy jjhcc via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 02/07/22
The story, whether real or not is fascinating & very well researched. Danny delivers it with more than enough vocal imagery - we really don’t need those dreadful acting voices as well. They’re embarrassingly amateurish & ruin the suspense. Please send them back to voiceover school. If it...Read full review »
Maclardy via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 01/28/22
Absolutely hooked. I love how this story is told, discussed, disected and that there are actors which make you feel as if it is happening now meaning you don’t have to imagine you can focus on the story and submerge yourself in it. Absolutely brilliant.
LKay22 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 01/26/22
Danny don’t listen to the people who don’t like the podcast there just jealous that they can’t present a podcast or tell a story
UTAV11111 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 01/25/22
really enjoyed this podcast! it's an interesting mix of present-day interviews, research, discussions, and then the fictional recreation of real, past events. this isn't going to answer questions of whether ghosts are real, etc etc. it's just a fun little romp exploring some...Read full review »

Brilliant podcast but the title song makes me feel like my ears are bleeding it’s awful
GEEOORRGGGIIIAAAAAAAAAAA via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 11/30/21
This podcast has a great documentary format. It has the right balance of dramatisations, reporting and expert opinion. It is so compelling. I’m looking forward to similar podcasts.
Stawmn via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 11/23/21
I had no idea until I read other reviews that this was supposed to be anything other than an attempt at a comedy mockumentary. The delivery style of Danny Robbins, the hamminess of the acting. The hilarious interviewees. The awkward build up of tension. It’s more like a pretend spooky office than...Read full review »

AntoineDuCoq via Apple Podcasts · New Zealand · 11/02/21
An obejct lesson into how to make an interesting story rather dull. The drama bits are pretty good, but the rest of it drowns in self-importance ("I'm a writer and journalist") and awkwardness. As for the awful music, it belongs on one of those super-low budget ghost-hunting TV...Read full review »

Seems like a good movie material, make the press, paranormal hunters, skeptics, family etc as the real evil and make the poltergeist continue to be ambiguous even at the end of the movie.
Kennywong070874 via Apple Podcasts · Singapore · 10/29/21
Danny has done an amazing job bringing this story to life. Very cleverly done. I love the mix of dramatisations, academic opinions, and interviews. Top-notch stuff.
Carlonseider via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 10/22/21
I was really worried about the drama part of this podcast. They usually sound so over acted and amateur. But this was amazing!! Simply the best I’ve ever heard!! It really added to the reporting of this interesting story.
Lil Ritchie via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 10/15/21
Great series. Having access to Shirley really added to the narrative. Great discussion with the experts and witnesses. So hard to decide what was real and what was not!!
Curious Tipperary via Apple Podcasts · Ireland · 10/07/21
Very well produced podcast and very interesting.
Gem1234876 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 09/07/21
Just love this podcast! Love the format of interviews combined with research then told through a audio story. This podcast was done BBC correct
ytdawg via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 07/28/21
Absolutely loved this show, couldn’t wait to hear each one, brilliantly presented exciting scary and some really interesting facts. Can’t wait to listen to your other shows.
AshRhon via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 07/26/21
I didn’t realize this was based on real events. That changed my opinion from a fun/easy radio drama to a worthy listen. It is a bit slow, but I definitely appreciate all the production elements. Will listen to more bbc podcasts and would watch the tv show.
