Most Haunted

...uncharted territory by writing about Most Haunted. However, inspired by the impossibly entertaining Derek Acorah (more on him later), I have relented. Here goes nothing. **Before I start, I mean no offence to any believers. I am open minded to a limited degree.** Screened on Sky’s Living T.V., Most Haunted is essentially a collection of presenters, crew and paranormal investigators sent to particularly inhospitable (allegedly haunted) locations ...
...also a mainstay of the Most Haunted team and, by some considerable margin, the funniest man on T.V. at the moment. With his shock of immaculately preened silver hair, scouse accent, diamond earrings and jet black attire, he forms the bridge between researchers and the sprit world. Apparently not previously briefed on the locations he visits, his primary concern is to unearth obscure facts, names and events which can be traced back through history, ...

Review of Most Haunted

...of the phenomenon that is Most Haunted, I’ll give a brief summary of the premise behind the show. The show has been running for around 4-5 years now and has investigated over 60 locations. Mid way through March 2005 the 6th series started with much aplomb, with the promise of new locations in North America. The programme itself is a paranormal investigation, and when it started in 2001, it was groundbreaking as the first show of its type to seriously ...
...this is one of the most fundamental questions that Human Beings urge to know the answer to. And in bringing their investigations to the mass market as Most Haunted has done (recent live shows, more of which later, have attracted over 2 million viewers, making it, and Living TV, the most poplar satellite channel), the efforts of the Most Haunted team are to be commended. However, I digress…. The point I was trying to get at, in a convoluted way ...

...that floats about) of which most can be attributed to insect life. We get so close to catching something, but always just miss out. Either a camera isn’t in the right place or the cameraman just misses out, due in part to some clumsy buffoonery. Numerous sightings have happened, each bringing with it fresh hope, but unfortunately it appears the moment any camera gets near to where an unfortunate crewmember stumbled into an apparition, the trail turns ...

Whilst I may be insane, fortunately I watch the show as a cynic, I see the unbelievable as just that, and something that is unbelievable tends to be something that is in fact unreal. Whilst I used to watch it in the vain hope that one day an astonishing breakthrough would change ...

...started a new series called Most Haunted; I was over the moon to say the least. Most Haunted is on Sky only unfortunately, so anyone that only has analogue TV, you are out of luck. If you have Sky and have never watched it, its on Tuesday nights at 9.00 pm and the repeat of that show is on the following Sunday same time. It is now finished series 3 and I am still as intrigued as the first time. Most Haunted is about a team of paranormal investigators ...

I have seen Derek on stage and he was amazing, every message that cam through somebody took, he received a standing ovation at the end of his show. Derek’s ability is amazing and he is genuinely nice guy. However when he gets possessed this is quite distressing, he is physically drained after one of these experiences. ...

Review of Most Haunted

...an end!) Most Haunted is now about to embark on its fifth series. It is aired on Living TV (otherwise known as UKLiving) which can be picked up on Sky and I believe you can also get it on Digital. You can generally find it on every Tuesday night between 9pm and 10pm and then repeated again at the same time on Sunday nights. The fifth series is going to be slightly different to those that have been before, more on this later though. Series 5 is due ...

To do this, a team of people spend 24 hours in what is said to be the UKs most haunted venues in order to conduct an investigation to try and capture evidence of the paranormal on camcorder and whatnot. It sounds like a good idea, and, for its time, it was! Nothing of this sort had ever really been seen on TV before, certainly not in the UK and certainly not on a weekly basis. Most ...

...sheer disappointment at the last Most Haunted Live held over the course of three days. It was held over 19th, 20th and 21st June this year, the summer Solstice weekend. After reading another review, which also depicts my feelings, I felt I had to inform anyone wishing to attend a “Live” haunting experience of exactly what my friends and I endured. Incase anyone reading this has no idea what Most haunted is all about, this is brief outline of the ...

Never mind, it was a port in a storm and I did not want to drive back home that evening. The parking in Derby is pretty horrendous but we found a disused car park around the back of the Bath Common (or recreation ground) where we were going to be situated. My friend had an email ...

Review of Most Haunted

Most Haunted is currently showing on Monday nights on FTN Channel 20 on Freeview. It's a TV show where each week a crew of physics, a medium, the producers mum, her auntie and a cast of dozens of other chancers get to spend the night in a supposedly haunted location, trying to meet the spirits within. Now I believe in the afterlife as much as anyone, although my favourite spirits are the ones found in bottles, and this programme has some serious ...
...loosely) :Yvette Fielding, the presenter, who used to be in kids telly in the 80's, seems about to wet her knickers every time something remotely scary happens. She will always wrap up the show by moving menacingly in shot saying something dramatic like......."........until next time....." Not to be outdone we have the medium: Derek Acorah, who looks like some gay disco dancer with his bleached blonde hair and rather effeminate manner. Derek will, ...

Review of Most Haunted

...end of the last season, most if not all of the crew were far more fearless, and so the freak-out moments were few and far between. The investigations went all serious, and even Derek seemed to miss the mark more often. Derek's insights into the properties they wander around have become a bit questionable as the show has continued - especially as the gang seem to visit a lot more museums. I'm not being picky - well, okay I am, but museums have displays ...
...So when the team visited a haunted airfield, Derek was asked to 'pick up' things next to some salvaged airplane wreckage. "I'm sensing suffering...fire...?" - for jeebers' sake, even I could channel that if I was standing next to some burnt aircraft metal! Despite the nit-pickery, I still feel oddly compelled to watch this show. Maybe it's the voyeuristic thrill of seeing grown people piss their pants at a shadow or a low moan. Or it could be the ...

Review of Most Haunted

Most Haunted is a programme with a formula that's been done before but never put into a series. A team of paranormal investigators, from several fields, from mediumship to 'ghost hunters' to historians, set up camp each week in a building reputed to be haunted. They start off telling you all the spooky tales, then explore each room with first-class medium Derek Acorah, who picks up any messages he can from the spirits, and the EMF meter which picks ...

As a person interested in the paranormal, and speaking as one who believes they can perceive ghosts, but can't see them because I'm just too plain scared, I totally sympathise with poor Yvette Fielding who, fascinated though she is, does get roped in to spending time alone in seriously spooky places such as cellars and very haunted bedrooms.

A very diverse mixture Once they have wet your appetite and informed you of all the alleged ghost sightings they bring in a medium (Derek Achorah) to see if they can pick anything up. The whole point of this is to give another side to the investigation and they also claim that ...

To watch people run probably faster than they ever have in their life when they hear a noise really adds to the atmosphere. Many things have been picked up on camera during this programme, strange noises, light anomilies (flashing lights in the middle of empty rooms), people being pushed etc, although no actual ghost being caught, ...

Review of Most Haunted

Most Haunted is a TV programme shown on Living TV, where Yvette Fielding and a team of people travel around the most haunted places in the UK. The team includes Ciaran O'Keeffe a parapyschologist and David Wells a spiritual medium. David Wells is a relatively new addition to the team and Derek Achora used to be the spiritual medium, but to be honest I am more likely to believe David than Derek, but more on that later! -Locations- The show has ...

There are also a few things that happen that are slightly harder to explain, for instance the team were moving through a building and approaching an open door which slams shut. When they try to open the door they can't. The door then magically opens and there is no one in the room! ...

...have only recently started watching Most Haunted on Living TV. By accident I think. I was surfing through my sky channels and as usual, even with the best package there is, you always find yourself saying that there is nothing to watch!! Anyway there was Derek, a professional spirit medium, talking to a spirit and telling Yvette Fielding, ex Blue Peter presenter, all about the spirit when he was still a living person. Now whether you believe in ...
...that point. Who's this man? What is he doing? On television? Would he be lying? Can spirits communicate with the living? I think also the main question that came to my mind was "when I die, will I be able to do that, speak to my loved ones who are still alive, or show myself even to them...?" So I carried on watching and started getting pretty freaked out. So here's the story. Before you read beware that this program is pretty scary at some times, ...

The medium comes along and you see him talking to the local ghosts..actually this is the most beleivable of the bits of the programme, becasue he knows stuff that nobody else knows about the local ghosts..and what happened at the site of the filming. This guy is very good and I wouldn't mind going to a proper session with him. The camera goes back ...
...scared she says that she is going to "poo herself"...you often have some creaks of floorboards, taps at windows, "orbs" and other phenomena...and then they run out of the room becasue they are scared stiff...hummm....

He is very good, ...
