BNU's Parapsychology expert Dr Ciarán O’Keeffe appears in BBC limited series

The Uncanny series is about people’s haunting experiences, about hearing their stories. As a long-term collaborator of Danny Robins, the writer, presenter, and creative mind behind the show, I have been given the wonderful opportunity to talk about the Psychology (and Parapsychology) of such events and, as a result, bring an audience’s attention to my published research at BNU.

It has also provided me with amazing insight into people’s fascination with the paranormal and our obsession with the unknown - one of the oldest curiosities that we have –what happens to us when we die? Is there an afterlife, do we turn into ghosts? I meet people all the time who are intensely curious about what they see as the unknown or the ‘dark side’ and that drives them to experience situations that are uncomfortable or scary.
