{allcanada} Spooky 'Bedlam' debuts on Space

The first episode of the terrifying British series Bedlam makes a pretty strong argument for showers over baths.

Then again, if you're living in a building that used to be an insane asylum and just may be haunted, practically any time you're alone it could be curtains, right?

Bedlam makes its Canadian debut Saturday, Oct. 1 on Space. If you like scary stuff -- spooky scary, not slasher scary -- then you'll be crazy for Bedlam.

The series is set at an apartment block called Bedlam Heights, a former mental facility that was closed down due to abuse of patients. Lead character Jed Harper (played by Theo James) has a history of mental illness himself, but what he actually has is the unwanted ability to see ghosts.

"Whether you believe him or not, the only person who thinks this place is inhabited by ghosts, whatever you want to call them, is Jed," James said.

"No one else is aware of that. They just see this old building. It might have a connection to the family, but it's not that anyone else is aware of it. It's only when he arrives that things start changing."

Do they ever. Stay dry, my friends.
