I remember one intro scene in the middle of the Tv show were he his back was facing the camera with his hand's on top of his hand and then he turned around to the camera and I thought it was a bit to posy and dramatic.
Actually his hair style looks like someone who has started the comb over a little too early ie before the age of 80. And that he has never changed his hair style since his teens.
Ahhh. I'd recognize that nose anywhere
I wish we had a ROFL like, so take this instead
I think it's genuine and I don't have any gripes except the follow-ups could be better. For instance, there was an episode in series 1 about UFOs and he mentioned an apparent sighting near Howarth in the first decade of the 1900s! There had been a newspaper report at the time and I asked him on Twitter if he could post a facsimile of the article but none ever appeared. I mean, I am sure he has a zillion things to do other than cater to me personally but it was disappointing.
I'm a little surprised and perhaps selfishly disappointed that he hasn't introduced himself on these forums, after all we have had many other Fortean writers on here who also appear on tv (and still do). My reasoning is that this is an excellent archive of IHTM-type events and also perhaps the most level-headed discussion of his work (hairline and wigs aside
) along with investigations into his findings. Oh well...
I hope he isn’t lurking after the hair discussion.I'm a little surprised and perhaps selfishly disappointed that he hasn't introduced himself on these forums, after all we have had many other Fortean writers on here who also appear on tv (and still do).

That sighting reads like a large meteor breaking up in the atmosphere, especially the sparks and the colour of the light etc.
I meant hands on top his head...never message when your are piked
I know the poor bloke hasn't even escaped with the authenticity of his hair line intact.
I thought it was more tours. I’ve seen an advert for that.
I'm just playing devil's advocate, but why? There are those of us who are not from the UK and listen.
I wouldn’t mind the occasional one but the UK is full of so much weird stuff. And if you go the the USA they can often be a lot more dramatic and have a lot of their own programs and podcasts.I'm just playing devil's advocate, but why? There are those of us who are not from the UK and listen.
I enjoy international stories because different cultures view things differently and have different phenomena they experience. For example, Japan has interesting ghost stories that are not like our traditional ones. And the way they perceive paranormal events is entirely different from ours.
I wasn't only talking about the States. I'm in Canada. I would love one or two that might come from another country. And his style of podcast is different from others. I do like how he tells a story and brings the person involved into the telling.
Because it'll be all BS American creepypastasI'm just playing devil's advocate, but why? There are those of us who are not from the UK and listen.
Bugger that, screaming septics with a blue rinse.
Oh you guys are much more level headed than your neighbours. The reason I mention the USA is because they often come in and take over (generally very loudly) and they are so massive their stories would swamp ours.
I do think there is something to be learned from listening to international accounts, bringing different cultural approaches to unexplained phenomena. When I was in the Philippines for a couple of weeks years ago, I grabbed a bunch of ghost books that included all kinds of malign spirits from local folklore - old trees being particularly evil. In Guatemala there are stories of all kinds of folkloric entities alongside a lot of fairly typical (from a UK perspective) hauntings. Equally, I realise in the US there is a tendency to jump to the conclusion of demons, but that also comes out of a particular cultural background (influence of evengelical churches - the deceased are immediately judged and cannot haunt, so hauntings are tricks of the Devil) - which doesn't invalidate paranormal events that happen there. There are also some great road ghosts from the US.
