Most Haunted Live

[poliphilo]

They had four web cams set up in various parts of the spooky old building.

People were invited to phone in and tell what they saw.

I saw corners of rooms and lengths of corridor.

Other people saw:

a dark figure in a cloak
children playing
two men fighting in a doorway
a wandering column of smoke
a hovering face

And so on and on.

Are these people suggestible?
Are they bonkers?
Are they having a laugh?
Am I missing something?

I don't know if you can disregard just how susceptible people who *want* to believe can be. A few years ago I took part in a half-arsed vigil with two people, one of whom had had similar occasional 'paranormal' experiences like myself, and the other who was a rabid Most Haunted fan. Whilst we women put the occasional drafts and creaks down to a rational explanation each time, he instead heard footsteps and felt 'icy fingers'. He wasn't a bad bloke or a shyster, but just desperate to experience something outside the everyday. Which is the overall appeal of MH isn't it?

That's certainly why I watch.

I'm hoping we'll see something marvellous and utterly inexplicable- even though I know we won't.
