A special Halloween edition. Why do many of us believe in ghosts and the paranormal? Plus an explanation of out-of-body experiences and the maths behind coincidences.

5 Live Science with Chris Smith and the Naked Scientists team. This week. As the pumpkin lanterns are put out and the Halloween costumes go back in the cupboard for another year we investigate the Science of The Supernatural.

We'll be finding out why some people believe in ghosts. A psychologist explains out of body experiences. We talk to a statistician who has a theory about coincidences. And we get a sceptical take on vampires and werewolves.
