The Paranormal Corner covers the weird phenomenon of the Crying Boy picture of the 1970/80s which was allegedly responsible for the burning down of many houses in the UK. Was it truly cursed?

Bizarre Music features the legendary ‘Mrs ‘o’ Leary’s Cow (Fire)’ by The Beach Boys. This song was recorded during the sessions for the aborted ‘Smile’ album and Brian Wilson believed this piece of music was responsible for a spate of fires around Los Angeles. This episode seems to have a bit of an arson theme!

There is a wonderful poem called Pork Pies which was written by Jackie Kay and is read here by the dulcet tones of E.R. Perkins, the gent who provides the voice over at the start of the show!
