Apparitions is really just a BBC drama on Father Jacob Myers played by Martin Shaw, who assesses signs of wonders to be utilised in canonisation but plays exorcisms. As he sees, Jacob's duties run deeper than sending demons back to Hell. He later must prevent them from going. Unlike most portrayals of soul and exorcism possession in fiction, Apparitions is more accurate and fact-based, including the character of possession as. Additionally, it recounts other religions, that might have been due to Heaven or Hell and events associated with Christianity . Joe Ahearne writes the series.
