From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Following a resoundingly positive reception at the London Film Festival, the first trailer for Andy Nyman and Jeremy Dyson’s Ghost Stories has landed.

Based on their break-out stage-play, the spooky feature-film stars Martin Freeman, Paul Whitehouse, and Nyman himself.

Speaking to The Independent earlier this year, Nyman teased Ghost Stories: “The film is not a traditional horror. Like all good stories, it takes the audience on a journey – quite an odd journey, that doesn’t really make sense until the very end.”

While the trailer keeps details about the film to a minimum, the official synopses reveals a little more: “Professor Phillip Goodman (Andy Nyman), psychologist and arch-skeptic, has his rationality tested to the hilt when he stumbles across a long-lost file containing details of three terrifying 'hauntings'.

“Shaken by what he reads, Goodman embarks on a mission to find rational explanations for these ghostly stories. As Goodman investigates, he meets three tormented people, each with a tale more frightening, uncanny and inexplicable than the last.”

Ghost Stories reaches UK cinemas 13 April 2018.
