Uncanny

Feb 7 2025 • 39 mins

Danny Robins hosts the visualised podcast for real-life supernatural encounters.

The Charity Shop Poltergeist is the story of Sybil, the manager of a charity shop in the home counties. Sybil and her fellow workers feel and hear a strange presence, objects seemingly move by themselves, and the apparition of a man is seen by staff and customers. Who is the presence that seemingly haunts the shop?

Danny Robins delves deeper into Sybil's story in this extended podcast episode, uncovering fresh evidence, new leads and intriguing revelations about this case.

Assisting Danny in his search for answers are regular paranormal experts Dr Ciarán O’Keeffe and Evelyn Hollow, who’ll further analyse the charity shop’s unsettling poltergeist activity; witnesses Sybil and Sophie, to share more frightening stories from their time working at the shop; and celebrity guest expert and Uncanny superfan Meera Syal, who’ll reveal her stand-out moments from the episode.

Written and presented by Danny Robins Experts: Evelyn Hollow and Ciaran O'Keeffe Special guest: Meera Syal Editing and sound design: Nick Price and Charlie Brandon-King Theme music by Gazelle Twin Produced by Danny Robins and Simon Barnard
