SupraStar 3000 Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 yea, I remember watching that on my own as my Mum and Dad had gone out! I pissed myself! When the guy from Crimewatch said from the studio "We have had a viewer call in saying she could see a shadow in the corner of the room during the outside broadcast." and with that, they rewinded the video and sure enough, you cold see the ghost. I really thought that was a spirit captured on video for the first time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sunnyG83 Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 its weird how so many people watched this and im glad that everyone was shit*ng a brick too:scared: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathew Posted October 30, 2006 Author Share Posted October 30, 2006 lol pipes, its because of him that i had many sleepless nights!!! there was loads of talk about people killing themselves after it especially one boy who had a mental condition. most of these though were brought to light by the bbc who had turned the programme down originally. would like to watch it again but like what has been said it may be a let down. i was talking to my mates about it earlier and its surprising how many of us then 10-14 yr olds were actually on our own that night lol:d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrRalphMan Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 hmmm... can remember watching it and thinking what a load of poop. Bit like the new incarnation 'Most Haunted', my Mrs cacks herself when we watch it, I just tend to laugh... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDO Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 I remember this... was about 14 at the time, did spook me out a bit... just looked it up as i was sure craig charles was in it... heres to jog a few memories!! BBC TV's legendary 1992 Halloween special caused a storm of controversy. The programme went out as a 'live' telecast about a haunted house on a London estate, with Michael Parkinson as anchor man in the studio, Mike Smith presenting the phone-in, Sarah Greene as the reporter in the house itself, and Craig Charles as the Outside Broadcast interviewer. According to the press at least, in the days following transmission, it caused a wave of panic among the British viewing public similar to that following Orson Welles' radio broadcast of 'The War of the Worlds' in the 1930s...

Mike Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 I missed this the first time around, so bought it on DVD, and me and Char watched it a while back... yeah, it is a bit amateurish... but still really good... you'd be surprised how well it's aged...
