Brand new 10-part series 'Spooked Scotland' features exclusive access to the spookiest Scottish locations, dark places where paranormal investigators have never been allowed to shine a light, until now.

In 'Spooked Scotland', renowned American medium Chris Fleming, star of 'Help! My House Is Haunted', and his partner in crime Scottish television personality Gail Porter lead an expert paranormal team to investigate the chilling crimes, supernatural sightings and terrifying stories across one of the most haunted countries on earth: Scotland.

Together they investigate some of this ancient nation's spookiest locations by day and by night, determined to solve one of the biggest mysteries plaguing modern Scotland.

With exclusive access to places that have never let a film crew in before they will try to make contact with the spirits to explain the paranormal mysteries that have haunted Scotland's most iconic landmarks for centuries, including Brodick Castle, the Edinburgh Vaults and Stirling's Old Town Jail.

Scottish native, Gail said, "growing up here, I've always been fascinated and terrified by unexplained paranormal activity."

Equipped with the latest specialist paranormal technology they'll come face to face with long dead tortured souls who are still plaguing the living and find out why.
