  Summer Specials 2026: Little Biter 21.07.2026 36m

  Rebecca has lived in the same Victorian house in the seaside town of Ramsgate for her whole life. For over 30 years, members of her family have repeatedly dreamed of a little girl who bites them while they sleep. Sometimes they catch glimpses of her in the house, with a bucket and spade. After finding the skeleton of a dog buried on their garden, they start hearing a phantom dog running around the house's corridors. Rebecca's family live happily alongside their spectral visitors, but at certain times of year a sinister male presence seems to manifest. Who are the little girl and the man, and what is the dark history of the Ramsgate house?Written and presented by Danny Robins Research by Nancy Bottomley Editing and sound design: Charlie Brandon-King Filming and editing: Robb Leech Music: Evelyn Sykes Theme music by Lanterns on the Lake Commissioning executive: Paula McDonnell Commissioning editor: Rhian Roberts Produced by Danny Robins and Simon BarnardA Bafflegab and Uncanny Media production for BBC Radio 4 and BBC Sounds
