Affter watching most haunted last night me and my mate was talking about it today.
And he piped up about a tv program that was on channel one (we think) it was a few years ago now... now i can not rember who presented it.but it was about an house in a uk street that sopose to be haunted.and this team was in the house with a posessed girl and filming her being rid of evil..it was uk program,and people realy kicked up a storm about it when it was air on tv as people thort it was real and not a pantomine kind of thing and scared life out a lot of people..you probably do not know what iam on about, but it's buggin the life out of us two now what it was called.Someone said to us it was called haunted house,but that name does not ring any bells.

I remember that (though not the title). I recall it was a spoof documentary on BBC1 and received a lot of complaints because people thought it was for real.

Do you mean Ghostwatch? That was shown on Halloween about ten years ago and was a spoof of 'live' programmes such as Most Haunted.

I remember watching it and it scared the living daylights out of me :P

:clap: I've just read that link and apparently it was 13 years ago when they aired that show - I was only 11. No wonder it terrified me so much! :shocked: I remember it really clearly because I was staying at a friend's house and her mum went mad went mad when they annouced at the end that the whole show had been a spoof :P

Ghostwatch baby!!!

It was banned for years because some nutbar in nottingham I think committed suicide from watching it because he thought it was real.

I now have it on DVD and its still brilliant as ever.

Especially good bit that I enjoy is when Parkie gets possessed.. really good.
