The latter.
It's not your typical murder mystery pod, or 'most haunted' tosh. Here's part of a transcript, might give you an idea:
UNEXPLAINED
Episode 7: Ghosts In Time
For all the many elements that constitute the paranormal, there are few things quite as evocative as the ghost. Equally capable of scaring us senseless as they are of inflicting us with the deepest of melancholies, the ghost holds a unique place in the world of the supernatural.
There are of course the ghosts that we carry with us in our daily lives, memories of those we have loved and lost or perhaps even wronged; Thoughts that sit in the deepest parts of the psyche, straining to become manifest.
Perhaps the most famous of all ghosts is that of Shakespeare’s Banquo, as he appears to the tormented mind of Macbeth. We know him not as an actual spirit but rather he is the consequence of Macbeth’s mental capitulation.
But what of the apparitions that seem not to have been brought forth from the psyche, those that have no connection to the observer but instead seem for all the world to be reaching out to us from a seemingly timeless space?
For some, to witness a ghost, particularly that of a relative, might bring a certain comfort, the reassuring sense of a life beyond death. But for the cultures of the ancient world, there was little doubting the portentous nature of such a sighting.
If by chance you ever find yourself walking along the banks of the Tigris around the year 4000BC and happen to come across the spirit of a recently deceased family member, it could surely mean only one thing.
For the Sumerians death was an act from which there was no return. Rather, souls were left to dwell in a place called Kur, otherwise known as the Land of No Return. A place where all men and women were equals, no matter how rich or poor, and there they would remain in dreary darkness all watched over by Erishkigal, the dark queen of the Underworld.
For a relative to return from such a place would speak of something unsettled — perhaps a body not properly buried, lost at sea or abandoned on the battlefield. Or even a suspicious death that needed in some way to be rectified…
Often, a ghost or apparition will be said to be linked to a particular place. For those of us in the UK there are many, not least their respective tourist boards that would suggest the Great Tower of London or Edinburgh Castle as the country’s most haunted destinations.
However, thanks largely to the controversial and self-styled psychic investigator Harry Price, there is one place that has risen above all others in the history of the British ghost hunt. | |

Hmm- I saw the phrase "psychic investigator". Perhaps not for me! | |

In context? Shame.
Edit - it even says 'self-styled' and 'controversial'. [Post edited 30 Jan 2018 18:12]

I'm a cynical old man and it's really very well done. He explores the unexplained in a level headed and sensible fashion. It's really worth a listen, well researched and thought provoking. | | | |
