On Halloween night 1998, TV veteran Gerry Burns, teams up with popular children’s presenter Michelle Kelly to investigate poltergeist activity in a haunted house in Belfast. A seance causes the broadcast to descend into chaos. When the youngest child is mysteriously abducted by an unseen force, the two presenters must face their greatest fears on live TV.

Written/directed by Dominic O’Neill, who was quoted saying: “Growing up in Northern Ireland in the 80’s and 90’s, local TV provided an alternative vision to the violence and fear that existed on our streets. It created a weird alternate reality of a less violent, politics-free world. Of course, they couldn’t keep the outside world out – news bulletins about bombs, and senseless killings at gunpoint often violently punctured this carefully crafted facade. In Haunted Ulster Live, these two worlds collide, and a 1990’s ghost hunting TV show, with the wonderful array of characters these shows attract, provided the perfect microcosm to explore these themes.”
The feature film directorial debut of Dominic O’Neill.
