Previously: after seeing the mysterious figure on the widow's walk, Beth rushes back to the lighthouse. She finds Keira with bloodied hands, which, she claims, came from the dead body of Beth's parrot Margot, but the parrot has now disappeared. They hide in the lantern room in case an intruder is still in the building. Keira says she's been feeling "a presence" during her stay, and that she thinks it's Wes. Beth admits she has also felt that she's not alone in the lighthouse. They begin to hear something climbing the lighthouse stairs. Suddenly, the radio turns itself on, and plays what appears to be fragments of Beth and Keira's past conversations. And then - a horrifying scratching and banging at the locked door. Keira tries to convince Beth to open the window so they can escape via the unstable scaffolding, but Beth desperately wants to stay. She believes the entity could be Gabby. Keira finally reveals that she pushed the glass at the seance - Gabby never came through. It was her.

Bernard would like to share with you Lohengrin Retold, a production by Wireless Theatre Company.

What is Brabant’s dark secret? A man arrives in the city of Cardiff, haunted by his past – he tells the chilling story of the deeds of Count Telramund and his sorceress wife, Ortrud. Few have survived the events that have befallen the people. But has the story ended, or has it followed him here?

The story of Lohengrin is a medieval Arthurian legend from Germany, it was famously turned into an opera by Wagner. But here, the story is retold from the perspective of an eye-witness who has lived through the events – and as is true of many fairy and folk tales, the closer you get, the darker the story becomes...

Previously: a nauseous, migraine-y Beth crawls out onto the structurally unstable widow's walk to pick up the dead seagull. Its condition is much worse than she and Keira expected - it looks like it's been run over. Blood drips from the bin bag, and Beth heads to the kitchen to fetch a mop. The phone rings, and Beth hears Wes's voice speaking to her. Shocked, she goes for a walk along the beach to clear her head. While walking, she thinks she sees Keira out on the widow's walk. She calls the lighthouse, expecting to see the figure walk inside. But when Keira answers the phone in the kitchen, Beth realises the figure is... something else.

In a flashback, Beth tells Keira that she is staying in her university room because her chronic migraines have worsened. But despite that, she wants to keep trying to contact Gabby.

Ten years ago, Malcolm Smith was the host of “Strange Air”, a successful radio show about the paranormal. One night, during a live broadcast, Malcolm vanished into thin air. To this day, no one knows what happened. Now his daughter, Chase Smith, is in her last year of film school and she’s making a documentary about her father’s disappearance.

Strange Air is another great show from the Fable & Folly Network.
