What is the show about? The show is centred around three key aspects of paranormal investigation: spiritual encounters, psychological and physiological factors, and environmental/technical data. Each episode explores one of these aspects, with the aim of answering a central question by the end of the show. The series is designed to appeal to both sceptics and believers, providing a balanced view of paranormal phenomena.—Unexplained.ie
What happens in each episode?A typical episode unfolds over two nights of investigation. On the first night, either a local paranormal team or the GhostÉire team itself will conduct an initial exploration of the site, gathering data and observing phenomena. The second night is dedicated to experimenting with various techniques in an effort to find rational explanations for the events encountered. The show's visual style will include night vision cameras, high-quality static filming, and drone footage that captures the eerie beauty of the locations. Leading the investigations are Anthony Kerrigan and Jessica Murphy, two experienced investigators with a deep-seated passion for the paranormal. The show's deep research, open minded approach to the paranormal, and interesting use of technology will hopefully set it apart from other paranormal programmes. The team employs equipment such as EEG brainwave monitoring and acoustic cameras, blending traditional paranormal investigation methods with modern scientific techniques to capture and analyse data in ways might not have been thought of before. Phantasm Collective includes a range of experts such as Samuel Lawrence a hypnotist, Andy Mercer a psychotherapist and researcher and John Fraser from the Society for Psychical Research (SPR). Collaborations with teams like Puca Vogue Paranormal and Paragals further added to the investigative process, ensuring that each episode is grounded in experience and diverse perspectives.The shooting and editing style of Phantasm Collective is documentary focused, but with a thrilling, educated edge.
