Cold Cases: Case 8: The South Shields Poltergeist, Part 1

This week Danny and the team investigate the first big paranormal case of the digital age - the South Shields poltergeist.

It's a disturbing and well-documented possible poltergeist haunting, where a young family in the coastal town of South Shields are beset by a series of bizarre and sometimes terrifying events.

Is someone trying to frighten them, or could they be in real danger from something that's harder to explain?
