Uncanny - Case 2: Old Jim
12-year-old Louise lives with her mum in a remote house on the Yorkshire moors. They’re plagued by terrifying and seemingly inexplicable phenomena, but Louise’s mum resolutely refuses talk about it, and warns her not to tell anyone else. Events escalate, until even her mother can’t ignore what's happening. Who, or what, is living in the house with them?
