How to watch 'Uncanny' season 2 online from anywhere

It began with a radio documentary about the paranormal, became a podcast that became a phenomenon, then a stage show and, now, "Uncanny" season 2 returns after a successful debut season on the BBC. What unexplained goings-on will Danny Robins explore this time?

Here's how to watch "Uncanny" season 2 online from anywhere with a VPN — and potentially for FREE.

The show is made by the presentation skills and style of Robins, a man whose natural enthusiasm carries both 'Believers' and 'Skeptics' along with him (the audience are often asked which camp they fall into) and brings the necessary sense of theatre to proceedings.

This second season carries on the successful formula as paranormal stories are relayed by those who claim to have experienced them with Robins probing and helping along before experts Evelyn Hollow (Believer) and Dr. Ciaran O'Keeffe (Skeptic) support or attempt to explain away what might have actually happened.

'Uncanny' season 2 - Episode guide

Season 02 Episode 01 - "The Haunting of Hollymount Farm": In the first case of this series, Danny Robins is joined in the studio by Liam, who grew up on a remote farm near Bury. His happy childhood was marred by ghostly sightings of a little boy and an overbearing, oppressive presence, making him so terrified that, even as an adult, he refused to go upstairs in his house alone. For years, nobody around Liam would acknowledge the strange and frightening activity. When his parents finally opened up, Liam discovered that not only had they seen things too – but that this had been going on for generations before him. Who could this little boy have been? Danny’s investigation into the case uncovers decades of hushed-up, terrifying testimonies, both from Liam’s family and his close friends as witnesses. As ever, the audience is invited to share their theories and help crack the case.

S28 E02 - "The Charity Shop Poltergeist": Danny is joined by Sybil, the manager of a charity shop in the home counties, which sells vintage clothes. From the day she opened, Sybil felt a strange presence, which only heightened when other workers also said they sensed someone in the shop with them. As time went on and more workers had the same experience, activity began to ramp up. Things started to move in front of multiple witnesses, and when building work was done on the shop, the presence finally revealed itself - to terrifying effect. After the discovery of a hidden room, clues as to who this presence could be come to light. Danny does some digging into the building’s past and finds some extraordinary leads as to who could be responsible, while also exploring the phenomenon of stone tape theory, where past events are somehow recorded in the fabric of buildings. As ever, the audience is invited to share their theories and help crack the case.
