Download Cold Cases: Case 10: The Great Amherst Mystery
Danny and the team travel back to Canada in the 1870s to investigate the Great Amherst Mystery - one of the most famous and perplexing paranormal cases to come to light during the Golden Age of Spiritualism.
18 year old Esther Cox is the centre of a series of inexplicable, possibly paranormal events - phantom knocking, ghostly messages, and a series of spontaneous fires that start inside the walls of her house.
But is she the victim of a possible paranormal entity, or the mastermind of a devious hoax?
