The Lockdown Hauntings

: If you were not from this Earth

and I had to explain the wind...

Out there's an invisible force.

You can't see it comin'

but it can knock you off your feet.

Tear your roof off.

You probably wouldn't believe me

until you experienced it yourself.

This is Jordan Myers.

Paranormal expert.

My heart goes out to all of you

in this unprecedented crisis we find ourselves in.

Our streets are empty.

Free from the usual interruptions

of human and mechanical activity.

Look out there.

You see, it will not just be nature

that will take advantage of this opportunity.

Our silence and stillness

is already opening up an opportunity

for these spirits

that choose to wander.

They will now be freer than ever.

Some will be harmless

but some will have evil intent.

I myself have already felt these paranormal energies

increasing in strength.

They feed on our fear and anxiety

during this quarantine.

This lockdown.

They will have more to feed on than ever before.

I implore you to reach out

to those isolated and alone.

Be there for them

like never before.

If we do not

there will be a plague of a very different kind

the magnitude of which could be immeasurable.

Reach out to those you care about.

Be sure that they remain positive and strong.

Counter any dark forces with your grace.

This is Jordan Myers

trying to shed some light

on the darkness.

: See you, Nicky. - Bye, bye!

: Do not eat my chocolate.

Uh, can't promise anything.

I'll call you and Aiden when I get to Mum's, yeah?

I'll put the key back for you later.

Bye, stay safe!

Hi, Mum.

Yeah. Yeah, I did a shop on the way back.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

Yeah, God, the supermarket was awful.

Everyone just looked so scared and angry.

Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Yeah, how's Dad? Is he gonna be working from home?

Yeah? Oh, that's good.

Yeah, don't worry, I've got plenty of healthy food.

Yeah, alright. Look, I'll call you later, OK?

Bye.

: Hi, Mum.

: Hi, darlin', how you doin'?

Yeah, no, I'm good. Jamie's just left.

Um, you OK?

I'm OK. Um, I've been told

because I'm at risk

I've gotta self-isolate for 14 days

so you can't come because of your asthma.

I can't-- I can't put you in that position.

OK.

I'm sorry.

Well, a-are you OK?

Yeah, course I will. I'm fine.

What about shopping and...

I've got my online shopping sorted out.

They're gonna deliver it every Tuesday.

And I've got the pharmacy to deliver my prescription

to my door, so I'm-- I'm all sorted.

There's nothing to worry about.

OK, as... as long as you're alright.

Yeah, I'm fine.

But what about you? You're gonna be all on your own.

Yeah, yeah. No, I've bulk-bought

prescription for my inhaler.

I've got like a month's worth.

Mum. Are you OK?

Mm.

Sorry, I've just got--

Tickle in my throat.

No, no, no, what's your temperature?

No, I haven't got a temperature.

I'm fine, OK?

OK.

Nothing to be afraid of.

I promise.

Uh, call you tomorrow?

I love you.

I love you, too.

Bye.

: My thoughts, of course

are with all the families impacted

during this lockdown period

but my colleagues and I at the parapsychology unit

are receiving an increase in reports

of paranormal activity.

Some people are telling us

they feel a strong connection

with a loved one who's passed over

but others are experiencing extreme psychological distress

sensing entities latching onto their fears

and anxieties.

If you have experienced

any paranormal activity

please let us know.

You can help us with our research.

Remember

if you have any concerns about your mental well-being

alongside unusual, unexplained paranormal activity

please get in touch.

Hello, hello.

Sir. - George.

Got a briefing with the DCI today at three.

Make sure you're online.

I've sent the links already.

Got anything else for me?

Not yet.

Right.

Likely to be quiet.

Well, let's hope so.

Unless the masses revolt.

They'll be too busy binge-watching boxsets.

Lucky them.

No other work for me?

Nothing yet.

But I'm afraid we've had confirmation

that the spitter tested positive

for the, uh, virus.

You got fuck all on me! -

That's 14 days' isolation.

: Open your mouth.

And if you want any other bodily fluids, darlin'...

You'll probably be fine, but any symptoms

let us know straightaway, alright?

Look, I can still work from here

so let me know and I'll crack on with it.

We'll let you know, but for now, 3pm.

Got it.

: Afternoon, ladies and gents.

Thanks for being online for this.

It looks like we're not gonna be seeing each other

in the office for some time.

I know you'll miss my sense of humour

and I'll miss your banter and economy coffee.

OK, so I'm sure you've all heard

what the Prime Minister has said.

We are to work at home

and stay at home.

Now, according to this, any investigation

now has to take place

strictly within COVID-19 guidelines.

And right now, we have no idea

if crime will rise or fall

and I'm not sure the members

of the criminal fraternity

uh, will stay at home, but um...

here's hoping.

Hey! Can you hear me? - : Hey.

Yeah, I can hear you.

What you been up to? - Getting pissed

like everyone else. Nothing else to do.

Yeah. I hear that.

Cheers, by the way.

Something really weird happened earlier.

Yeah, go on.

You know that little soy jar that we bought

like, the saucer?

Yeah.

It just flew off the side on its own.

Like it wasn't on the edge or anything

and nothing moved it.

It just jumped and smashed.

OK, sounds like you really have been drinking a lot.

I'm not being stupid, I'm serious!

It was really weird.

I kinda felt something.

Well, it's probably just the wind or something.

I mean, wouldn't worry about it.

Yeah, anyway. What have you been up to?

Just been at home, workin'. I mean, it's ridiculous.

I mean, it just feels so weird.

Mm. - You know?

It's, like, hard to know when to actually work

and when to...
