The Haunting: The Haunting was a special release from Big Finish Productions uniting Henry Gordon Jago and George Litefoot with Strax. It was one of the company's first releases featuring elements from the new series of Doctor Who.

Publisher's summary

Strax, the Sontaran butler to Victorian investigator Vastra and her wife Jenny, suffers a disorienting attack and mistakes Jago & Litefoot for Jenny and Vastra and moves into Litefoot’s home. Together, they are on the trail of a creature that is stealing brains, which may or may not be linked to a haunted house in London...
