This week’s spooky special is just in time for Hallowe’en. We uncover the science behind ghosts, seances and being scared, plus we attempt to contact the dead live on air.
We also learn about the history of Hallowe’en, the psychology of costumes, and how Hallowe’en “candy” has helped to make some very important scientific discoveries.
Finally we visit the macabre museum of John Hunter and his gruesome collection of pickled body parts and horrific ancient medicine.
