    Surprise Surprise (Glasgow's Ghost Theatres and Bible John)

    Surprise Surprise: We're Back Step into the shadows of Glasgow's hidden history in this chilling episode. We explore the city's ghost theatres—once vibrant venues now said to echo with the spirits of their former patrons and performers. From eerie apparitions to inexplicable sounds, these forgotten stages have stories to tell. Then, we dive into one of Scotland's most infamous unsolved mysteries: the case of Bible John. This elusive serial killer terrorized Glasgow in the late 1960s, preying on young women he met at the Barrowland Ballroom. Who was he? What clues did he leave behind? And why does his case continue to haunt Scotland's collective memory? Tune in as we unravel tales of the supernatural and the sinister in this captivating journey through Glasgow's haunted and harrowing past.
