There was one video from TAPS I believe that was scary to think about. I will have to find a way to post it here. |

Now having watched it again i believe that it was 100% fake. The Dr was an actress and they all behaved like it was badly rehersed.
Good entertainment though. |

i remember watching this program when it was on the tv and have to admit it did have the hairs standing up,not only by the events on the supposed live filming in the families home, but the end got to me more than anything.
if i recall rightly it was michael parkinson that hosted the studio /live coverage (appologies if im wrong on that)
anyway, right at the end, he starts speaking in tongues (a foriegn language) as if being posessed and then one by one the studio lights start to pop, leaving him in total darkness.
there was a massive hoohaar about the progam, people were phoning up bbc tv to find out what was going on, they were petrified, my brother and his wife included. they came up and stayed the night as they were afraid to stay home alone.
it was very well put together at the time and i know it was never repeated because of the chaos it caused, i was never really convinced it was a hoax until last yr to be exact, a friend of mine got me a copy of the film/program and we sat and watched it along with my teenaged kids.
my kids wernt phased by it at all lol, perhaps that comes from living with the real thing for yrs (not poltergiest) but spirits, and i certainly saw it in a different light too.
its still worth a watch but by todays standards its a little tame for me now , perhaps because i knew it was a hoax and from my own personal experiences. xxx |

I sort of remember it (i was only 8 at the time) I watched with my grandma and mum hiding on the sofa behind mums arms - Mum thought It was fake (which obviously it was) but when your 8 yrs old its very real - i don't think my mum thought it was going to be as scary as it was! lol |

About 3 months ago our local TV news did a story on a local haunted police station. Interesting finds... |

I watched some of that Ghostwatch
i remember some person got possesed on it
and think everyone was phoning police and stuff like that and thats why the program stopped on air too many complaints or somet like that
to police sure it's that program i read up somewhere.
and it got banned.
think everyone wasnt ready for paranormal!
The pipes ghost.
look up video's on youtube Ghostwatch. |

I personally am not sure about whether spirit possession is totally real or not. |

I agree with you YB

I'm bringing up an old thread, sorry if thats against site ettiqutte- but I thought it made more sense than starting a new one on a topic people have already done.
I loved Ghostwatch, best thing ever done on TV really- they just managed to genuinly spook people. The daft ending mollified the fear a bit (good idea) but even so, the themes they were deal with really were shocking. It wasn't just the ghost theme , but the sub themes too. The ghost theme was fantastic, because they set it in a normal house (just like we live in) but the sub themes were some of the most controversial topic ever covered by a BBC light drama (which was what the slot was).
The angst of being a child of divorced parents was very well done (and very subtley done) but the nature of the haunting itself had some very dark sub-themes- espeically considering the age of the cast members etc- and the fact it was done as "real."
The Comic Releif, "Kevin Tripp" was excellent as well. |

Hi there, Speaking of death prediction, I find it really odd that one of the on-line death prediction services showed me the same death date that I was foretold in my dream about a year ago. http://yourdeathdate.info/1/index.html - I can’t explain this coincidence in any other way except that there must be some kind of magic involved here. |
