Cold Cases: Case 6: The Haunting of HMS Asp
5/12/202628 min
It’s the mid-19th century, and HMS Asp is on a routine mission charting the British coastline for the Royal Navy. But strange sounds and a ghostly apparition unsettle the crew, far away from the safety of shore. As fear spreads among the men whispers of a haunting take hold.
Is this the strain of isolation playing tricks on the mind? Do the crew have cabin fever - or could someone, or something, be moving below decks?
Danny Robins investigates, with Evelyn Hollow and Dr Ciaràn O'Keeffe.

Ever invest in something that seemed incredible at first, but didn't live up to the hype? Like those five-dollar roses at a gas station, or a secondhand piece of technology that breaks in the first 10 minutes. Marketers know that feeling. We optimize for the numbers that look great, impressions, reach, and reacts. But when they don't show revenue, well, that's a not-so-great conversation with the CFO. LinkedIn has a word for that, bullspend. Now you can invest in what looks good to your CFO. LinkedIn Ads generates the highest ROAS of all major ad networks. You'll reach the right buyers because you can target by company, industry, job title, and more. So cut the bullspend. Advertise on LinkedIn, the network that works for you. Spend two hundred and fifty dollars on your first campaign on LinkedIn Ads, and get a two hundred and fifty credit for the next one. Just go to linkedin.com/broadcast. That's linkedin.com/broadcast.
