The Curse Of Most Haunted

I'm sure the vast majority of occurrences in Most Haunted are staged/fake. Given the amount of time the team had spent in supposedly haunted locations though, it would be surprising if they didn't just occasionally film something genuinely spooky.
I recall they used to do the "trigger object" experiment, whereby an object - I recall one being a hefty medieval key, would be placed on a sheet of paper, with an outline drawn around it and left in a locked room in some old castle for the duration of the show. A time - lapse film of the object showed it moving a couple of centimetres over perhaps 5 hours. Not particularly spectacular, but the mundane nature of the event made it feel more convincing.
 
BMCS,

...it would be surprising if they didn't just occasionally film something genuinely spooky...

And that is the whole point.

Either the phenomena exists, or it doesn't. There is no in between way to approach it.

So if it is all in the mind. Well, let's disregard it completely and label all such things as 'for entertainment only'.

But if it does exist then it has to be one of the most important things there is as it is saying that there actually is some other 'reality' that exists.

One can't have it both ways.

It is the same for ufos. Either they exist or they don't. And we can take the same bilateral approach to the answer.

The question also is. For those who think it really is all imagination. smoke and mirrors, why are you here ?

Yup, now and then trolls roll up on here to tell us that IT'S ALL LIES YOU FOOLZ and STOP BELIEVING THE WOO, SHEEPLE! and so on. You'd think such rational intellectuals'd have better things to do with their time. Redesigning rockets, say, or dissecting the hippocampus.
 
Though I watch it they behave like a load of wimps, first time
anything remotely interesting happens they are running around
screaming or bailing out of the place. If something really scary happens
we will be in no doubt that adrenaline is in fact brown.
 
DAVID OWEN WINTER on Twitter.

Couldn't find a MH thread so this will have to go here.

There's a video on YouTube featuring a voice-over suggesting that Degsy has soiled himself from fear.
Winter has commented on it, saying that he knows MH is fake because he worked on it.

I googled him and came up with this Twitter page, where there is a discussion about who really threw stones on the programme. Thought it was worth a read! I bet there's more of Winter's disillusionment out there if we dig a bit.

He's getting quite angry on Tw@tter, isn't he?
 
long before David Icke, monty Python, around 1974, came up with a provocative theory about British football goalies being prone to dreaminess and esoteric speculation... life imitated art?

Have to say, I found Seaview on YouTube and thought I'd watch a few minutes for nostalgia's sake; I got through the entire series.
 
After bragging to Techy about seeing the episode of Doctor Who featuring the first appearance of the Daleks I found it on YouTube.

At some point the character William refuses to be rounded up with the others. A Dalek fires a ray at him, paralysing his legs.
He flounders around on the floor saying 'My legs! I can't feel my legs!'
We both nodded and said 'Degsy!'

It makes me wonder how much of that was true as well. Most of us posting here have probably played a game or two of football at some point in our lives. That doesn't make us ex footballers though. I'm an ex hot air balloonist because I've been in a hot air balloon in that case.

Wikipedia:
Acorah attended secondary school at Warwick Bolam, and was a keen footballer in his youth, firstly playing for Bootle Boys and then, Wrexham's academy side when he was thirteen. He signed schoolboy terms with Liverpool, at the time managed by Bill Shankly.[1] Acorah often told of a story where he told Emlyn Hughes to be careful with his new car. When Hughes turned up late for training the next day, having written the car off, Shankly had heard of Acorah's mediumship and told him, "Son, where did you get all this from? You leave that at home, you just bring your boots here and play football."[8][9] Acorah also claimed that he had spoken to Shankly in the spirit world, in the years following the Scotsman's death.[1] Acorah never made an appearance for the first team, and briefly turned out for the reserves, before being released by his hometown club. He returned to Wrexham, where he played for about a season,[10] and had stints for Glentoran and Stockport County.[11][1] After the birth of his son, he was asked by the players' union in Manchester if he wanted to play in Australia. He discussed the situation with his wife, and they made the move, where he played for USC Lion in the South Australian State League.[12] His time at the club was cut short by injury, putting an end to his football career. On top of this, his wife suffered from homesickness, so they returned to England, but they split up soon afterwards. He then began working as a medium, adopting the surname Acorah, which he claimed came from a Dutch ancestor.
