The Spirit of Radio
Weatherman/DJ Frank Mitchell was working at the Sunday Breakfast Show for Downtown Radio in 1985 when he first encountered the spirit. The studio was located next to an area that was once host to a graveyard and a gallows. In 1998, Mitchell was spooked to read that a cleaner at the radio station had also experienced ghostly goings-on. Sally Graham was cleaning the studio when she heard the sounds of clinking glass. She turned to see the shocking sight of crystal ashtrays being stacked by unseen hands. A Paranormal Investigator was called in to find out what was going on. Follow the investigation in this report.

A Walk on the Weird Side
The extraordinary, the absurd and the downright weird combine in this collection of reports from UTV’s nightly Good Evening Ulster news programme.
Despite the often bleak aspect of local news in Northern Ireland during the decades relating to The Troubles, ordinary - and sometimes extraordinary - life continued on. This series of some of the more off-the-wall reports from the UTV news archives shows the citizens of Northern Ireland engaging in unusual schemes, fundraisers, pastimes and humorous events.
From Earl Bird attempting to set a new world record for non-stop yodelling to a nuclear bunker disco, from a pub with no beer to a canine snooker referee, you’ll find this collection full to the brim with the odd, the eccentric and the full-on weird.
