Tony Robinson is joined by science journalist Becky McCall to investigate the case of Second World War psychic Helen Duncan, whose freakishly accurate forecasts about military campaigns led to an MI5 investigation and her imprisonment under an archaic witchcraft law of 1735. Duncan was deemed a serious threat to national security, but she claimed she was merely visited by the ghosts of exservicemen who told her secrets she could never have known.

Tony Robinson and science journalist Becky McCall step into the unknown to investigate whether past paranormal events should be taken seriously or dumped into history's litterbin.
