Is it just me or is the t.v. programme Most Haunted with Derek Accora ( ) just half a dozen imature adults scaring the crap out of each other?
In all the time i've watched it , i havent seen a single thing that could not be explained logically, or on hysteria. I mean somebody just got to stand on a creeky floor board & they all sh** themselves

Derek Accora dosn't do most haunted any more.Any way most haunted is a entertainment show rather than a ghost busters show.

Exactly, they've made it quite clear that they are on the air "for entertainment purposes only".....I myself call them "The Best Damn Comedy on T.V. Period".

Derek Acorah has gone to do his new-ish programme "Derek Acorahs Ghost Towns"

He's always got on my nerves, the way he acts and all that. I still find it weird when he gets possessed. Sound recording maybe?

Ghost Hunters is a way better show. Check out this video of a figure wearing a black hooded cape that was caught on tape in Eastern State Penitentiary in Pennsylvania. It is a suppossedly haunted prison and what they caught on tape definitely does not look human or move like a human.
The Unknown

that footage was already discussed on here quite a while ago in great length , here is the Link to it if you want read it .
l think that the video is a fake .

l agree that most haunting is purely for entertainment .

Especially if you've just recently been lobotomized.

I met Derek Acorah once in a pub. He accused me of picking up his cigarette lighter by accident. I think he was possessed by a spirit or something for he shouted "YE STEAL THY LIGHTER? THOU IS A CHEEKY BASTARD!"

I'll never forget when he was on a discussion programme on radio 4, & during the conversation the subject of reincarnation was mentioned, to which his response was that every body is reincarnated, to which someone then asked, ''if you believe that everybody who dies is reincarnated, then where do these ghosts come from?''
at which point he fell silent.

I saw it once. I think its fake. And most of it was Derek talking.

On the most recent show I saw here in the States, Derek and Yvonne (is that her name? Can't recall it now!!!) and someone else were walking through a gutted out castle (just the walls and the ground floor remained, no upper floors or even the roof was there) when Derek claimed to hear men chanting. Then Yvonne pointed out that it was the gutter making the sound, and that shut Derek up fairly quickly! It really is incredibly fake. Proof can be seen here. I know this has been posted before, but it's always good for a laugh.

It's incredibly stupid, and I never miss it.

I saw that episode. I was like: ".........." right there.

I like watching Most Haunted because most of the places I see in the show & the history.

I don't think that was in the states. I could be wrong though I barely listen when they talk about the history.

Totally, stupid. That's all I have to say.

worst haunting show out.

Yeah, Derek....

You have to love the way he manages to hold onto his brolly when he's possessed by evil spirits, and still talks in a camp northern accent...


ooh, and who can forget such classics as "What's that Sam? What are you telling me? MARY LOVES DICK?"

Laaarf!

I honestly think Most Haunted will come to an end soon, its just not the same anymore. It has got far to predictable and all trust in the crew has gone due to the fact that it is the same thing happenng over and over again each week

I think it's hilarious when Derek puts his hand to his ear and says "What's that Frank?" IT'S SO FAKE!

His imaginary friend's name, oops I mean "spirit guide" is Sam, not Frank, although Frank is way funnier lol...

Have you noticed though that Karl the producer is nearly always the first one to have something happen to him.The show is so pathetic its funny.

Derek may be a fraud, but he makes me chuckle.

Yeah, it's awesome entertainment ( when you're in the mood) but some people seem to think it's a legit spook hunter programme, and it's just not!

Karl always collapses or some crud.... I think it's the stress of having such a ball-breaking wife. She even cusses out the spirits...(when she's not pooing herself in fear)

I have to admit, I do enjoy some of the sights that "The Best Damn Comedy on the BBC" go to "investigate".......then the "crew" gets there.....and it's alllllllllllllll downhill.

I think that show is hysterical; always good for a laugh. My dog goes nuts when it's on cause he sees those "glow in the dark eyes" caused by their cameras. {who says dogs can't see television??}

Why didnt you do us all a favor and set him on fire.

That show really sucks!

THAT.............was BRILLIANT, LMAO!!!

mmmmmmm.....strange.... but when the topic of most haunted comes up the threads are full of crys of fake, hate it, fraud ect, ect..

Dont you guys know how to switch channels ???

Me.. i enjoy the show.. and im looking forward to watching the live web cams this halloween..

Ill post these two links.. yet again.. but as allways i guess that no one will view them and carry on slagging off Most Haunted..

You don't think its real do you? Have you not seen the vid of Evie where she makes a sighing noise then says "OMG did you hear that?" Or the Kreed Kafer videos?

Hold on a sec.... just because we (some of us) believe it's fake doesn't mean that we want to or have to turn over.... I think it's bull and yet I watch it cos I find it amusing... In fact i enjoy the ones with Derek more as I like watching him acting up, it's hilarious, and yeah, I'll prob watch some of the halloween one too!

Most of it...can't say all for sure - is fake - but that doesn't stop it being entertaining....

With the live Halloween special of Most Haunted scheduled for next week and with it getting a lot of negative press over the past few years for my first post I would like to put forward my support to the crew involved in creating the Most Haunted TV show...

I have been a fan of Most Haunted since it's very first episode when I accidentaly came across it while flicking channels on my TV. I was immediately drawn into its Blair Witch similarities, new night vision techniques and my general interest in the paranormal. Since then I have attended a couple of the live shows and spoken to some of the people involved.

In the beginning Most Haunted was a small 1/2 hour show watched by a tiny fraction of Living TV viewers where investigations involved 1 nightvision camera, 1 parasychologist in Jason Karl and 1 'medium' Derek Acorah.

To watch the first series now is like watching a completely different programme. Yvette proves to be a very inexperienced ghost hunter who jumps at every single sound, screams all the time, thinks irrationally and hides behind anyone she can (she has definitely improved). The use of the camera and sound equipment is average at best and you can tell that noone on the show including the experts have any idea what to do and how to report what is going on.

The first series is much more raw than anything since because this was the time Most Haunted was still a small experimental show. A time when the production company and crew had very little money and knowledge of what to do and expect. That is why the footage discovered during its first run is much stronger than anything found at later stages simply because they wouldn't have had the time, funding or creativity to fake any of it convincingly.

Unfortunately as is usually the case as Most Haunted became a bigger success, so it's critics became louder.

As a fan of the show I am obviously open to criticism myself but when I managed to speak to both Karl and Yvette before a live show at Beaulieu Abbey they both spoke of a genuine interest in parapsychology and the search for truth. When I questioned them about visual effects and hoaxing Karl simply replied. That if they where to fake anything they would only manage to undermine themselves, parapsychologists and any genuine footage they actually catch. It was only a few minutes but during that time I didn't see any reason to question their integrity.

That said of course they are in the entertainment business but then if everything about the show was fixed wouldn't every episode look like the BBC's Ghost Watch? Another show that attempted to hoax the nation in the 90's? Plus people who have genuinely experienced paranormal activity will already know that you don't have to fake anything, if you are patient enough things that can't be exlained will just happen.

I also think that Living TV and Antix are well within their rights to make as much money as they can from a show they created, as are people who create and run great websites like Unexplained Mysteries are too.

Over the past few years Most Haunted deserves credit for listening to its critics. Firstly by getting rid of the shows biggest liability, the always theatrical Derek Acorah. Derek was the main reason I felt Most Haunted was getting the abuse it did and although a popular part of the show ( He annoyed the hell out of me, but my mum loved him) by releasing him they did the right thing. Now with David Wells as the main psychic the shows have been much better to watch and some of the footage captured has been excellent.

Another masterstroke was managing to persuade Ciaran O'Keefe who was the shows most publicly outspoken critic to come back on board, according to his website he has been entirely happy with everything in the programme since his return and is therefore happy to continue his relationship with them.

Of course you can argue about Most Haunted until you're blue in the face but what can't be argued is that Most Haunted was a brilliant idea, made a great television show and created a phenomenon.

What possibly annoys it's critics more than anything is probably the fact that they didn't think of the idea first.

Did any one catch Friday's episode? It was pretty interseting.

What was that? A spiderweb? A piece of hair? ^^; Just trying to think of a normal (whatever the word is). While they were in the room with the radio. It sounded like someone saying: "Get out!" They didn't go over that though.

I haven't seen this show from episode one. But I've been watching since I came across since by accident one night.

I cant watch it now because im living in china:( I remember when it first came on. I liked it alot because sometimes nothing would happen and you really did get the sense it was real. But the more it went on the more freaky it got with possesions, bangs, touchings, faintings, whispers, groanings, orbs etc. The thing is they still say that everything you see it real. I always believed that in a program like this, if they are doing most of the stuff, and not ghosts, then they have to put this somewhere in the show. Normally small print at the end or something, just to cover there own arse. I could be wrong on this, and most prob am:)
