Anyone on here watch it?
Do you believe in it all or think its a load of crap?
Had your views changed by it?

I'm quite a sceptic and always try and come up with a rational explanation for everything but theres been a few things happen that have been very weird.

I wonder if being in the dark and being together with the tension and the expectancy causes things to happen.

Never seen the show, however I have had the odd experience of the, err, paranormal kind, even though I'm rather a skeptic experiences like that make you keep an open mind about certain things. Even so I tend to retain a skeptical point of view with most things. It can be hard to tell when your own mind plays tricks on you.

Actually yeah, it does. It's the expectancy that something will happen that can sometimes mislead or trick the mind into, not seeing or hearing things that aren't there, but convincing itself that whatever stimuli it is regestering is in fact paranormal. It's often hard to remain impartial in such situations, especially when the sole (no pun intended) purpose is to try and discover or witness something out of the ordinary.

It's a phenomenon similar to subliminal or auto suggestion. You can convince the mind of anything it wishes to be true.

That said it is still extremely interesting. A colleague of mine dabbles in paranormal psychology and agrees that a large proportion of it is in the mind. But not all of it

Sleep well folks

Is that the one with that ponce with the earing? I'm gobsmacked that someone so dodgy can fool so many people so easily.

A friends house has ghosts. Her parents run a B+B beside Dun Laoighre harbour (formarly Kingstown) in South Dublin, Where the British navy used to dock during the time of British rule.

Anyway, there is an old British general in full military uniform that appears now and again. The house was origionally gifted to said general as his Irish house while here on duty. Saw his back one time on the way down the stairs standing in a room. Got down to the sitting room and said that I didn't realise there were guests staying in the house since her parents were away. There obviously wasn't guests. Strangly, I didn't stay there for a few weeks.

As true as I'm sitting here, thats what happened. Although I'll probably be ridiculed now.....

I know some people with rather interesting insider information on this program.

Lets just say that you wouldn't ever want to work for certain people.

Lets also say that 'the camera never lies' isn't quite true.

That neurotic ghosthunter-ette, really gets on my nerves hyping every little event from a fart to a distant car alarm, with her now commonplace;

"did anyone hear that, what was that??????"

followed closely by bursting in tears, and pleading to leave the room wailing;
"I Dont' like it hear, it frightens me I WANT to go NOW"

I wonder if ParrotOD is reffering to this caffeine flooded individual?

Ohhhh. POD you are not suggesting there are some porkies going on here are you? .

I do watch most episodes but not the live ones as they seem too rigid a format. But i'm sorry this programme just makes me laugh, Derek I think is such a joke and to be honest I think without his 'input' the programme would fall flat.

"Its an orb!!!"... No, its a bit of friggin dust, out of focus!

"Did you hear that? A creak!!!"... Its a 16th century house. It may be possible that it may creak!

"Look, you can see up my nose"... Why they insist of putting themselves in the full frame, pointing-the-camera-at-my-head stylee, I don't know. I'd rather they just put camera in all the rooms, with decent resolution, without going ape over out of focus bloody dust!

I like the woman who was on Most Haunted Live a couple of years ago.
She sword blind she was the re-incarnation of Bodacea.
Hmmm...not Boudicca then?
You'd think if you were going to pretend to be someone you'd at least keep up with the latest achedemic discoveries about them wouldn't you?

Tosh TV.

Makes Big Brother look intelectual.

I blame "Blair Witch" for all this low light TV nonsense.

Right Yvette Fielding.


Formerely on our screens in various forms

I should really have guessed by the drama angle, that the production company would be there somewhere

I've had a lot of coffee
