Why this pick
Like The Stone Tape, it treats haunting as an unsettling investigation shaped by broadcast technology, building dread through procedural realism and a cool, increasingly destabilised atmosphere.
Why this pick
A scientific team enters a notoriously violent house and attempts to explain its phenomena, closely echoing The Stone Tape’s clash between rational inquiry, hostile architecture, and psychic terror.
Why this pick
Its measured, mournful haunted-house investigation shares The Stone Tape’s patient escalation, architectural unease, and fascination with the past leaving a tangible, dangerous imprint.
Why this pick
This blends paranormal horror with determined attempts at observation and proof, retaining the bleak seriousness and invasive, almost clinical supernatural menace of The Stone Tape.
Why this pick
This austere television ghost story favours mounting dread, an isolated old building, and the sense that buried trauma has become a malign physical presence.

01 / THE STORY
A research team from an electronics company moves into an old Victorian house to start work on finding a new recording medium. When team member Jill Greeley witnesses a ghost, team director Peter Brock decides not only to analyse the apparition, which he believes is a psychic impression trapped in a stone wall (dubbed a "stone tape"), but also to exorcise it--with terrifying results.
