Re: A New Set of Allegations Levelled at Most Haunted
I agree with mmurphy it was a good idea, because back at the begining the odd thing did happen, and I'm quite sure a lot of it wasn't staged, merely coincidence. It was entertainment, plus a bit of history, good banter and behind the scenes action at various locations which all added up to a good show. I've never been convinced about Derek, but back at the start he was fairly good and quite often, for me, would invoke a bit of spine tingling. However it started to go downhill once they were a couple of series in and knew they were on to a good thing. Derek was over the top, started to get possessed on a regular basis, and personalities of others took over. Sadly it became bigger, and need to manufacture more and more 'activities'.
But on Ian's point - yes I really do think something could be made focussing on an actual investigation. But unlike MH, you wouldn't focus on just the vigil, you'd have to look at the people doing the investigatiom, what makes them tick, the case, the history, all the different factors, then the vigil and the follow up - plus some external expert comment - essentially you would be following the investigator around.
Biggest hurdles are funding and market, but these are minor issues. Up for making a film Ian?

Oh dear! This does not come as a surprise at all if we are all being honest. I used to watch it occasionly however I must agree that seeing Derek become "possessed" did take it far to far. Most of it was just plain daft. Should this be now the time to have it finally taken from our screens?

Perhaps something to consider....
A documentary following me around Gretna marrying people would be more of an eye brow raiser lol.
What might be interesting is a similar idea but following a series of differant groups around, seeing how they approach the subject and discussing the techniques they use and why. What evidence they consider to be really good and why?

Hi Guys,
Very interested in what your saying. My daughter runs a paranormal group esparanormal based in Aberdeen. She has talked about doing a documentaray along the lines you were talking about. Im sure shed be interested. Check out the website www.esparanormal.org.
Re: A New Set of Allegations Levelled at Most Haunted
Hi Earthchild welcome to Mysterious Britain. If we ever get around to doing a documentary we will certainly keep E S Paranormal in mind. We have a groups section on this website which I would be happy ES Paranormal to if they want.
Thanks for posting and I hope you continue to find the site interesting.

LOL I take anything I see on TV with a grain of salt, those these guys take the cake, as it were.

Haha, never say never :) You never know a Mysterious Britain & Ireland TV show may be a good idea.
I was more thinking about a documentary about one of your investigations - a following documentary.
