Natalie Casey said: "I've been to Aberdeen with 9 to 5 and I'm looking forward to seeing the endless amount of granite they have there again - all the grey buildings made out of beautiful stones that always look wonderful in the light."

Jenny believes her new home is haunted, but her husband Sam isn’t having any of it. They argue with their first dinner guests, old friend Lauren and new partner Ben. Can the dead really walk again? Belief and scepticism clash, but something feels strange and frightening, and that something is getting closer, so they’re going to stay up... until 2:22... and then they’ll know.
