About this episode

In the shadows of Greater Manchester’s canals and waterways, some believe something ancient and malevolent might be lurking. This week on Unexplained, we plunge into eerie folklore, mysterious drownings, and chilling whispers of a phantom predator said to haunt the waters - claiming victims no one can explain.

Written by James Connor Patterson and produced by Richard MacLean Smith.
