It’s not what you expect when you’re staying in someone’s guest room: a night-time visitation from a ghost who asks you to take a message to Norfolk.

On moonless nights when shadows cloak the land, the ghost light of St Edmund at Thurne sometimes appears in the tower – an echo from the past when it was used to signal for help.

When I looked at old material I saw that I quoted this Anglia TV programme in an early pitch for my 1992 BBC drama GHOSTWATCH. The "unexpected response from viewers" was clearly part of my inspiration.
On this episode we discuss a TV appearance of a ghost at Morley Old Hall near Wymondham. Renowned SPR member Tony Cornell and Anglia TV investigated the hall in the 1960s. After the show aired they received an unexpected response from viewers.
