Cos-Story: Ghostwatch - a podcast by The Cosplay Journal

Halloween 1992, and the people of the UK sit down to watch a new programme on ghosts in the Greater London area. Presented as a live documentary, many were taken in by the realism and were terrified by what they saw, with more complaints being to the BBC in hour than ever before. It even caused symptoms of PTSD in children and gained an entry into the British Medical Journal. 

This is the story of Ghostwatch, a programme that scared a nation. 

Scripted, read and produced by Holly Swinyard
