Another chance to see psychic investigator Andy
Matthews and his team visit six of Northern Ireland’s most infamous
haunted houses in search of ghostly residents and the history behind
them.
Some of NI’s most haunted buildings come under the spotlight in
a new series for BBC One Northern Ireland. Each week a team of paranormal
investigators respond to reports of unusual happenings in a given location.
The location is of historical
interest and people who either live or work there have had first hand
experiences of things which can’t simply be explained.
Psychic investigator Andy Matthews (below) has, for 10 years, been
communing with the spirits of the dead. He’s joined by Marion
Goodfellow, one of the UK’s leading mediums and the Northern
Ireland Paranormal society (NIPS).
Together, using clairvoyance, historical research and an arsenal of
high tech equipment, they find out if the reported hauntings can be
logically explained or if there’s something more to them.
The buildings under investigation are: Armagh Gaol; Direct Wine Shipments,
Belfast; Woburn House, Millisle; Bellaghy Bawn; Limavady Workhouse/Roe
Valley Hospital and Galgorm Castle.
The six-part series made for BBC Northern Ireland by Coco Television
is an entertaining and unusual mix, where real history meets compelling
personal stories, investigation and offers unusual insights into the
world of the paranormal. They believe. The question is will you?
Hilary O’Donovan, producer of NI’s Greatest Haunts, said:
“We set out to make a series that would appeal to believers and
non-believers alike. What we produced, I believe, is an entirely different,
refreshing perspective on the history and culture of
Northern Ireland. You may not believe in ghosts but when you watch
this series you’ll definitely understand why others do.”
NI’s Greatest Haunts begins on Wednesday January 21 on BBC One
Northern Ireland at 10.45pm.
