Calling all grunge fans! In the summer of 1991, when American alternative rock group Jane’s Addiction decided to call it a day, they made it their mission to go out on a high.

But instead of a typical farewell concert or tour, frontman Perry Farrell came up with the idea of a touring festival, headlined by Jane’s but also featuring a top line-up of other bands and non-musical acts.

The tour was a huge success and was repeated – with different bands – for the next seven years. After a break between 1998 and 2003, Lollapalooza returned and has continued ever since.

The Rolling Hills Asylum in New York state is considered one of the most haunted places in the US.

Indeed, many of its inmates died on site, buried in a long-forgotten cemetery.

Ever since the Asylum closed in 1974, rumours have been rife about ghosts that haunt the place, including that of a German nurse and a 7ft-tall spectre, said to be the spirit of a former resident.

Nick Groff begins a fourth series of paranormal investigations, looking for the truth behind the scary stories.
