[addyb]

My wife used to be addicted to Most haunted until she spoke a woman who told her that the most haunted production team came round to her house asking if they could film there.

"My house isnt haunted" came the womans reply to which they replied "Do you want it to be"

Lol always thought it was a big con!

There must have been hundreds of hours of stuff filmed on this program, and in all that time I would have expected something to have been newsworthy in some way.

The fact that, as far as I know, nothing ever has been is comforting that I haven't wasted hundreds of hours of my life.


THUD.

****, what was that?!

[jay mc]

There was more visibal real ghosts and spooks in the blair witch project and we all know that was fake

A funny clip,
YouTube - Proof that Most Haunted is Set Up

[Bill Hicks]

Most Haunted is the logical continuation of the BBC show called Ghostwatch that was broadcast on Halloween night in 1992.
It's just an entertainment show not a serious investigation into apparent paranormal activity so you can't take it seriously at all.

Does anyone remember the BBC's Ghostwatch?
Broadcast as a live TV event on Halloween night 92. This pre-recorded "drama" caused absolute mayhem for the BBC as they scared the life out a few thousand soft headed nutters who honestly believed that the show was a serious live broadcast from a supposedly haunted house in Stanmore in north London.
Here's a clip.....YouTube - GhostWatch Part1

Most Haunted is the progression of this format.
Reality haunted TV.

They have even been caught out by the press but people still think it's a real show.

[ROBIN50N]

the living channel is so ironic, most of its output is about the dead. should be called the death channel.

Does anyone remember the BBC's Ghostwatch? :

Ghostwatch was excellent, I did twig (honest) while watching it (the ending gave it away) but still found it scary, I know some people who really freaked over it.

With so much TV of this nature now it's easy to lose sight of how well Ghostwatch was executed 17 years ago.

Rented the DVD a year or so back to watch it again. Fave bit is where the camera sweeps around the bedroom and you get a glimpse of that figure in the window. Gives me goosebumps even now.

[Bill Hicks]

I never saw the Ghostwatch broadcast (I was at an Oktoberfest in Battersea park getting drunk! ) But I remember waking up the next morning and watching the news and reading the papers regarding the panic it caused.
It was like the Orson Wells War of the Worlds broadcast all over again!
Apparently someone tried to commit suicide after watching it believing like a lot of the viewers that it was a real broadcast
The BBC have never re-shown it because of the amount of flack they received over it the first time around.
A couple of years ago I saw that the DVD has been released (As a BFI disc) and I had to get a copy to see what all the fuss was all about.
Well after viewing I couldn't believe how any adult could have gotten taken in by it. The acting by the professionals is wooden let alone Sarah Greene (Still gives me the horn ) and her then husband Mike Smith. Parky is hilarious in it, especially at the end when the studio has been taken over by the poltergeist and he starts singing a nursery rhyme directly into the camera lens .

Classic stuff and I don't think this sort of programme could be made today because no one would ever believe it is real.

The psychic consultant on this show was Guy Lyon Playfair who not only has one of the most ridiculous names in history but was also one of the key investigator on the famous Enfield poltergeist case (1977-1979) and he wrote the genuinely scary book "This House is Haunted" about the case.

YouTube - Harry Hill's TV Burp - Derek Acorah Best one by far.

I used to quite like it, but it got worse and worse as the series went on. And it's a proven con anyway.

Thing i hate about the live ones is the people who send stuff in all the time like "Chris from Somerset wrote in to say there's a man called William that's evil will be following Karl around tonight.". What? Is everyone a psychic or medium now?

I watch it somethings that happens am like what ever but how do they explain the noises they show you everyones hands not moving and feet not moving. Hmm. am very much a believer my other half and his brother are able to sense people around them and can tell you who is is. His brother is very good at it he has got me scared a few times telling me about people i know that have passed on the my partner didnt know. We go to the spiritual church often and i believe it all.

Has it ever occured to you that the things you think you believe in are the product of your mind? I'm not being insulting, because the human mind is a fascinating and barely tapped area of study. I believe that everything we think is supernatural- God, ghosts, flying saucers and clairvoyance are all the product of this amazing piece of biological hardware.

That makes more sense to me than the idea that the human personality can survive death, is floating around invisibly making the occasional knock or bump (at night time only of course), whilst being talked to like a child by Yvette Fielding and her band of credulous time-wasters. For eternity.

So are you saying that all these phenomena (UFO's Ghosts etc) are only experienced by single individuals?
How does that explain multiple sightings.
Or are you saying that theses sightings are not what we think they are but are just natural occurrences that science has yet to understand?

or explain how any of these sightings does not have any credible evidence, even now when there's something like 20 billion cameras and phones in the world now

But there are more UFO's (Whatever these are?) Being recorded on mobile technology than ever. But all this "evidence" shows are lights and in lesser cases (Rio & Florida) structured objects in the sky. They cannot explain what they are.

Consider this. If a serious investigation (Or Most Haunted ) actually caught a materialisation of a Ghost? on camera people would still say that it's a trick!

Real scientific and measurable evidence of the paranormal has already happened particularly in Soviet Russia with a series of experiments in PK and remote viewing. Enough evidence was assembled to lead the Soviets to spend serious money on research in the 50's & 60's!

What was the outcome after they spent all this money?

That one.

If in doubt, apply Occams razor. Works every time.

exactly silly little lights, no evidence

the soviet experiments where all debunked having flawed methodology and biased results with a view to gaining funding

no one has been able to do it in a controlled scientific enviroment

Tell you wat is annoying, fricken ad breaks every ten minutes! and I MEAN every ten minutes.

[Alan CD]

Why do they insist on "working" in the dark? Why not in daylight?

Why do they hear things that are never picked up on the microphone?

Why do they insist on calling reflections of light "orbs"?

Why do they scream and swear at every little noise?

Why do they talk to "ghosts" as if they were idiots? "Is anyone there?", "Make a noise" etc.

Why have these "experts" insist they know all about the "ghosts" that died 300 years ago?

There must be loads of money in these enterprises for such clever people to be carrying out or acting out these strange manoeuvres in the dark.

Bargain basement media show. Good research but no content. Money for old rope.
