Today's episode follows a ghost story over 170 years. We start in the 1880s with school children terrified by a ghost in a garden. Then we explore a newsagents that was bothered by paranormal activity in the 1960s. In the present day we discover a secret tunnel entrance and hear rumours of a helpful spirit where the garden once bloomed. Linking all these hauntings is the building of Camden House. Once a Victorian school, then a newsagents for over 50 years, more recently it has been a succession of takeaways and restaurants. Nat discovered a missing piece of the puzzle just before finishing this episode, and it's added towards the end, so don't believe her early in the episode when she says she could not find a death relating to a young school mistress.
