A FRIGHTENED television crew had to be rescued from the dark depths of Epping Forest after stumbling upon the ghost of Dick Turpin during a live night-time broadcast.The crew from the LivingTV cable and satellite channel went into the forest with a psychic medium who, live on air, tracked down the famous highwayman's spirit and enjoyed a revealing conversation with him.However after the close encounter the crew realised they had strayed from the path and were hopelessly lost.They were in the forest as part of a three-day live shoot following Dick Turpin's last days for the channel's Most Haunted series.Fronted by former Blue Peter presenter Yvette Fielding, the crew headed into the Loughton Camp area of Epping Forest, just outside Loughton, in the late evening on Tuesday, December 30, armed only with torches, and their equipment.The crew, who were filming in infra-red with remote wireless cameras, tracked the highwayman's spirit down after an hour in the forest.

"They suddenly realised they had no idea where they were. They hadn't got a clue."After the encounter the team was forced to radio for help and luckily head forest keeper Keith French was nearby and able to lead them out.
