    It’s spooky season, so here’s a new series that revisits some of the greatest unsolved paranormal cases and speaks to those involved. A double bill starts with the Enfield poltergeist, which – despite having had a few televised retellings in the last 12 months – is always a spine-tingling tale. Next, it’s the story of the Perron family in Rhode Island in 1971 that inspired the hit movie The Conjuring. Hollie Richardson

As leader Foxy says: “This is when we see who really wants to be here.” Or who just really likes mud wrestling. Ali Catterall
