• The forgotten graveyard beneath Belfast shoppers' feet
• How a Victorian wig shop became Belfast's Halloween hub
• Satanism, murder and Belfast's 'lost boys'
• Jack the Ripper... arrested in Belfast?
• The bizarre haunting of a Belfast bridge
• Belfast's body snatchers and the story of Burke and Hare
• Bram Stoker's Belfast visit and the true inspiration for Dracula
• Hunting the last wild wolf in Ulster
• The curse of the Titanic mummy
Plus a bonus tale over some refreshments:
• Northern Ireland's own Dr Harold Shipman and a chilling personal link!
