Yeah, definitely.

He used a scientific method for ghost hunting and that impacts on what we do today.

But although he was an inspiration for me, he was also hugely impactful in populising the paranormal.

And I'm sorry, Danny, but if Harry Price were alive today, he would be sitting where you would be sitting right now, because ultimately he was the uncanny of the day.

Yeah, I think it is.

These are real tropes within ghost stories.

But not only that, there are elements here that are really interesting.

The phantom carriage, for example, is a precursor to kind of road ghosts.

And that, of course, is a feature, and we've talked about that.

It is.

It really is.

But also the nun.

I love the idea of a nun.

We see that as a trope that pops up all the time.

Exactly.

And here we have what I feel like is kind of the origin of that, you know, an amazing story that features through a number of different accounts and has had such an impact that we see it so often now.

I guess the first thing I'd be doing is looking at environmental influences.

So

I'd be looking at the building itself.

You know, we know that, for example, there would have been potentially kind of toxic elements to this house.
