"Yes, the ghosts you see at night, they're the souls - the auras, if you like - of good people who didn't deserve to die. That's why they're full of regret, and frightening. Ghosts we see in broad daylight are the ones whose deaths were right and fair - they've been redeemed by death. They were evil while alive..." First in a series of commissioned stories presenting ghosts or ghostly happenings in the cold light of day. Will something 'unexplained' be as scary in a light that is... well, reliable to the eye! Sophie Hannah's story is read by Tracy-Ann Oberman. Mel makes a friend at the school gates - and learns about the different types of ghosts in the world. Then the theories are tested out... Producer: Duncan Minshull First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in August 2011.
