Recent Productions

Leigh Spinners Mill

A new production in collaboration with the Manchester Royal Exchange's Leigh Ambassadors group at Spinners Mill for family audiences, inspired by real historical events.

In addition to support from King's College London and Sussex University, this production is made possible by a generous commission from the Manchester Royal Exchange, and will feature as part of their Den pop-up festival.

Listen to an episode of the Exchange's podcast Connecting Tales discussing the show, with Tom, Elliott, and Leigh Ambassador (and part time ghost) Mike Burwin.

Emma Bradburn, intern for the ‘Civic Theatres: A Place for Towns’ research project wrote an account of the show on her blog.

What is it?

A mixture of coding education, Augmented Reality and live performance in an immersive storytelling experience.
An ordinary Year 5 assembly is interrupted by the arrival of Undersecretary Quill, asking for their help. This begins a Ghost Hunter apprenticeship, a series of four coding challenges given to them by Professor Bray. They stress thinking like a programmer – learning to read and debug code, think about the steps of an algorithm, and basic logic structures – through coding their ghost detector in Make Code.
Two weeks later, they explore a haunted Battersea Arts Centre in an immersive live performance. The show is structured like an investigation: Students split into teams, studying artifacts for clues and going out into ‘the field,’ using their devices to find evidence of the spirit's activity.
With the evidence they uncover, students learned about the building's history, who the ghost is and why she is haunting it, unmask a villain, find a stolen a necklace, clear the ghost's name and set her free.
The Digital Ghost Hunt was featured in Immersive Arcade's Best of British since 2001.

The Story

The Digital Ghost begins when a normal school assembly was interrupted by Deputy Undersecretary Quill from the Ministry of Real Paranormal Hygiene, there to recruit the school’s Year 5 class into the Department’s Ghost Removal Section. She tells them it’s due to their unique ability to see and interact with ghostly spirits.

Under the tutelage of Deputy Undersecretary Quill and Professor Bray, the Ministry’s chief scientist, the young ghost hunters must track down the Battersea Arts Centre ghost by learning how to program their own paranormal detectors. Their devices – made from two microcomputers, a Raspberry Pi and a Micro:bit – allow the children to identify objects and locations touched by the ghost. Each has different capabilities, forcing the classmates to work together to discover ghostly traces, translate Morse code using flickering lights and find messages left in ectoplasm, or ultraviolet paint. Meanwhile, the ghost communicates through a mixture of traditional theatrical effects and the poltergeist potential of smart home technology. Together, the pupils unravel the mystery of the ghost's haunting and help to set it free.

Notable Hauntings

The Battersea Arts Centre

A scratch of The Digital Ghost Hunt was performed at the Battersea Arts Centre in November, 2018, funded by the Arts & Humanities Research Council's Next Generation of Immersive Experiences program.

York Theatre Royal

The project was given further funding from the AHRC for impact & engagement in 2019 to adapt the show into a family experience, in collaboration with Pilot Theatre. A limited, sold-out run of the show premiered at the York Theatre Royal's 275th anniversary in August 2019.

The Garden Museum

On All Souls Day 2019 the project performed a museum-late experience in partnership with the Garden Museum in London. This new format sent young ghost hunters up a medieveal clocktower and digging for clues in the gardens of the 14th century St. Mary at Lambeth church.

The SEEK Ghost Detector

The SEEK Ghost Detector is a Micro:bit connected to a DecaWave DWM1001-DEV Ultra wideband radio, housed in a custom designed laser cut shell. The Micro:bit served as an accessible controller that students can program. By using Ultra-wideband Radio for indoor positioning, we leaving ghostly trails in Mixed Reality (MR) space for the students to find and interpret. There were four different detector types, all with different functions: detecting ghostly energy, translating Morse code when the ghost flashed the lights, and translating signs left by the ghost in Ultraviolet Ectoplasm.

The custom library that the students used to program their Micro:bits was written in MakeCode and C++ (available on Github.) An earlier mark 1 detector that used a Raspberry Pi was written in Python 3 (available in the Ghosthunter library on Github)

A message from Prof. Bray

Ssis985 4k Extra Quality !!exclusive!! Jun 2026

: High-quality 4K releases like SSIS-985 typically use High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC/H.265) . This allows for a higher bitrate, which reduces visual artifacts like "color banding" or "pixelation" in dark or complex scenes.

A 28GB file for a 180-minute film implies an average video bitrate of roughly (25 Mb/s).

: Fine details such as hair texture, skin pores, and background environments appear sharper and more lifelike. Hardware Requirements for Playback

When tracking down specific index keys across the web, users regularly encounter specialized indexing forums, peer-to-peer distribution networks, and third-party file repositories. It is vital to navigate these networks with an emphasis on cybersecurity best practices. ssis985 4k extra quality

The standard for home entertainment is shifting rapidly toward ultra-high-definition content. represents a premium tier of media encoding designed to deliver crystal-clear visuals, hyper-realistic textures, and flawless playback. This optimization standard balances massive visual data with efficient bitrates to satisfy the demands of modern 4K home theater systems. 🛠️ What Does "4K Extra Quality" Actually Mean?

Without more specific information about your query, it's difficult to provide a more targeted response. If you're looking for tutorials, tools, or methods related to SSIS and high-quality data (video or otherwise), consider specifying your needs: : High-quality 4K releases like SSIS-985 typically use

| Problem | Cause | Solution | |---------|-------|----------| | Stuttering playback | Weak GPU / CPU | Switch to 1080p or use hardware decoding | | Colors look washed out | HDR file on SDR display | Use tone mapping (see section 4) | | File won't play | Codec not supported | Install HEVC extensions (Windows) or use MPV | | File claims 4K but looks soft | Fake upscale | Check MediaInfo; delete file |

Resolution alone does not guarantee superior image quality; compression plays a critical role. The "Extra Quality" label typically implies that the video has been encoded using a high bitrate, often utilizing advanced codecs like H.265 (HEVC). A higher bitrate ensures fewer compression artifacts, smoother gradients, and less digital "noise" during fast-moving scenes, preserving the cinematic integrity of the original master tape.
