Psychic mediums claim to have a strange power; that they can actually communicate in a meaningful way with troubled spirits who remain linked for one reason or another, to a perticular location.

A village in Wales. A small maintenance and repair workshop. A most unlikely setting for a ghost story, yet it is the setting for one of the most remarkable and inexplicable paranormal stories in the history of the British Society of Psychical Research. We talk to the people who worked there as they tell the story of a whimsical, playful, gentle spirit, apparently of a young boy, who decided to take up residence in their workplace and stayed with them for many years. They will never forget their encounters with him.
