Ghosts (1995 TV series)

Ghosts is a British supernatural TV series that aired on BBC1 in early 1995. It presents standalone ghost stories set in modern Britain. The show ran for one season of six episodes, each about 50 minutes long, from January 21 to February 25, 1995. It was produced by the BBC, with Phillippa Giles as executive producer and Ruth Baumgarten and Andrée Molyneux as producers. The cast included Derrick O'Connor, Tim Pigott-Smith, Samantha Bond, and Alan Cumming.

Critics have praised its atmospheric, non-gory approach to ghost stories. Notable episodes include "Three Miles Up," described as a psychological, slow-burn ghost story, and "The Shadowy Third," noted for its spooky mood and period feel. Later reviews also highlight the emotional impact of "Three Miles Up," emphasizing themes of lost moments, loneliness, and the sad, inevitable ending.
