Weekly Spooky | Scary Stories for Halloween

Ghostwatch put a fictional haunting inside the familiar frame of BBC television. On Halloween night in 1992, Michael Parkinson and Sarah Greene helped a scripted drama look like a live ghost hunt. Some viewers believed it. The backlash was real. Explore the hidden appearances of Pipes, the broadcast's unnerving tricks, and the argument over trust that followed. Original program audio and BBC Bite Back excerpts bring the scare and its contemporary criticism into focus. How did a made-up ghost leave viewers questioning the safety of their own living rooms?

We're telling that story tonight.
