## Part 3 - Listening

You've read one or more articles about an unsolved mystery, but they're also a very popular genre on other platforms. For example, there are loads of 'ghost hunters' on youtube, or podcasts about all different kinds of mysteries. There's a selection of mysteries that you can listen to / watch below. Choose one and then answer the questions below. Note, one of the exercises asks you to summarise the podcast/video you've listened to/watched, so take notes while listening/watching.
