Years ago I watched some lame paranormal investigator show on Ch4 called “Most Haunted“. Basically you had a bunch of people scoping out spooky old buildings and saying “Hello? Anyone there?”
The team were supported by a experienced historian, a paranormal sceptic and a spiritualist/medium, the most famous of whom was Derek Acorah, who was later found out to be a fake by the very same show that made him a star.
Anyway, the show wasn’t too bad to begin with and was pretty interesting at times. But as the years progressed and ratings started to slip the producers (also the show’s hosts) became ever more desperate to “make things happen”. To the point where the TV watchdog demanded they reclassify the show from serious documentary to pure entertainment.
20 years on and I think the show is still limping along via YouTube
Looking for alternatives and there’s plenty to find via YouTube, probably the best known being “Ghost Hunters” along with “Twin Paranormal“, “Sam and Colby“, “Steve Ballard” and “Urbex Hill“. Most of these amateur shows are fronted by noisy cunts in their late teens, early 20s and seem more interested in looking cool for their fans, while plugging the “merch” every 5 minutes rather than taking any serious approach to investigating old houses and hotels.
That said, the cunts that do take an interest, don’t actually investigate the supposedly haunted house very far. Instead they choose an “active” room within the home and get all their ghost-hunting toys out, like a “rem pod”, SLS device and spirit box. They then just stand around calling out “Is there anyone there? If you can hear me switch off that light!” Sometimes the light goes out and they go wild.
They say a few more things and their toys light up and again they freak out, running around not such much scared but happy in the knowledge that their cute little toys work and will keep their fans amused/attentive for a further10 more seconds!
Whether you believe in ghosts/paranormal is of course your decision. But the channels on YouTube for the most part don’t take it very seriously, which is a shame because some of the places they investigate do have a rather troubled history. And with a bit more effort and rational thinking these kids could make a very good channel for themselves without relying on gimmicks and plugging the “merch” while shouting “hey, dude!” and “OMG!” every 20 seconds.
“Is there anyone there?”
“No, fuck off!”

I went to school with a lad. Nice kid, but he was crazy about some weird shit. He claimed he saw faces in the patterned curtains when he was in bed. He also insisted that our school was haunted. He wasn’t taking the piss, he was really serious about it. I liked him, but I also felt sorry for him, as he really believed this stuff.🤔
