Under the Lake was the third episode of the ninth series of Doctor Who produced by BBC Wales.

It saw the show reprise the concept of hauntings, which was last explored in Hide. The episode gives this idea a much more thorough explanation that previous stories.

Synopsis

Arriving on an underwater base under attack, it's up to the Doctor and Clara to save the frightened crew. But also onboard is an alien spaceship, and the base is being haunted by the most impossible of things.

The Doctor's deepest beliefs are challenged when he encounters something he cannot explain. Can it really be possible? Can ghosts be real?
