Features

30 Harbinger Ghosts (cover story)
You're sitting up late waiting for your husband, when at long last you hear his footsteps outside. He turns the key in the lock, opens the door and enters the house. You call to ask if he's OK... and there's no one there. You just had a visit from a vardoger, the friendly ghost of the Nordic countries, as Nils Erik Grande explains...

34 Unlocking the Cage
What has been described as "the most haunted house in England" is up for sale after scaring off its owner, who then opened it up to paranormal investigators. Ghost hunter John Fraser tells the story of Essex's haunted prison.

38 Rogue Oscillators
Daniel Wilson dusts off his wireless and tunes in to one of the weirdest controversies in broadcasting history - a story of hellish howlers, ghost cars and witch-hunts.

46 Strange Rain
Falls of frogs and showers of fish, black rains and bloody downpours, ash-filled skies and deadly smogs... Cynthia Barnett examines weird weather events and asks whether humankind plays a considerable role in creating them.
