Cold Cases: Case 8: The South Shields Poltergeist Part 1

5/26/202628 min

This week Danny and the team investigate the first big paranormal case of the digital age - the South Shields poltergeist.

It's a disturbing and well-documented possible poltergeist haunting, where a young family in the coastal town of South Shields are beset by a series of bizarre and sometimes terrifying events.

Is someone trying to frighten them, or could they be in real danger from something that's harder to explain?

    Ever invest in something that seemed incredible at first, but didn't live up to the hype? Like those $5 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 $250 on your first campaign on LinkedIn Ads, and get a 250 credit for the next one. Just go to linkedin.com/broadcast.
