Help! My House Is Haunted

In Hertford, a team probes reports of odd noises and unsettling sensations within a music venue that was once a jail. They examine whether lingering echoes of its history are influencing present experiences and affecting those who visit the site today.

The series titled Corn Exchange is presented as a programme consisting of individual episodes. Each instalment follows a team as they examine unusual occurrences in various locations throughout the country. The format is designed to blend investigative reporting with a focus on local history, offering viewers a glimpse into the mysteries that surround everyday places. In this particular episode the team travel to the town of Hertford to look into reports by locals of odd sounds and unexplained sensations emanating from a local music venue. The venue, which once served as a jail, has become the centre of speculation as residents describe phenomena that cannot be easily explained. The investigators concentrate on whether the building’s former role as a prison is casting a lingering influence over its current use. They question if the residual often echoes of past confinement might be responsible for the strange auditory and tactile experiences reported by patrons and staff alike. The episode therefore juxtaposes the site’s historical function with its modern purpose, probing the idea that the shadows of earlier times could still be affecting present‑day activity. By linking the venue’s past as a jail with the contemporary reports, the team aims to determine if history is actively and clearly shaping the current atmosphere.
