    Famous Ghosts—Or Are They?

    ...I recall on Most Haunted that the infamous 'Hanging Judge Jeffreys' seemed to get about a bit with his ghostly 'residual'. Seemed to crop up in many episodes in the Wales, The West Country and the South of England in various bars and courthouses. Derek seemed to have an affinity with him.

    Ghosts On Normal TV Shows

    What is interesting is the 'The Changeling' episode may have been inspired by the Enfield Poltergeist. 'Airing in ’78, it’s not hard to imagine the writer was influenced by the story of the Enfield Poltergeist, which was first reported in the worldwide press 14 months earlier, and still...

    Downton Abbey – “Christmas at Downton” The unexpected appearance of Lavinia Swires’ ghost in Downton Abbey's first Christmas special is all the stranger because it can’t easily be explained away as a hallucination or dream. Granted, we don’t actually see Lavinia and she isn’t firmly identified...

    The Only Ghost Photo I Ever Found Convincing. What Do You Think?

    I also find the level of pixelation, or clarity of the 'ghost' of interest. It appears less defined, more 'blurred' or 'fuzzy' than the surrounding people in the picture (even those who are further away) Also the dimensions of the ghost are off. It does support the notion of a cardboard...

    The Only Ghost Photo I Ever Found Convincing. What Do You Think?

    These 'debunking' discussions/threads are becoming my favourite part of the forum. :bthumbup: Scientific reasoning, deduction, a touch of cynicism, a hint of conflict...all combining to often largely resolve the issue, yet still leaving a small window of the unknown open.

    Yeah, there was apparently an actual tinker ghost story associated with the manor. Barry sighted a real tinker who was randomly staying there (who in turn thought the Auf Wiedersehen crew were all tinkers dossing there to). Yeah, Series 1 was great...Series 2 was also good but it went downhill...

    How Many Of Us Actually WATCH 'Most Haunted'?

    ....I still go back on occasions and binge watch the 'Classic' Series 1-7. The Derek years (Series 1-5) are particularly amusing. Something comforting about re-watching those familiar shows, although you view them through a far more critical lens.

    ..the Bergerac Season Four Christmas special 'Fires In The Fall' is a great example of this. A very eerie episode encompassing a number of Fortean aspects, with a uncharacteristically ghostly (and unresolved) ending. Has aged particularly well to.
