Most Breaks?

For all of you who are into the paranormal, you will find that the Most Haunted team had 8 nights of live paranormal hunting. As I don’t have Sky or Living TV, I was forced to watch it on the internet. I looked and looked for that golden site which showed Most Haunted and at last I found the site. Justin.TV and as well as streaming the channel, they also had a small chat box beside it which was awesome because you talk about what was happening while it happened. Anyway...
Most Haunted Live was an abomination. It was disappointing because the whole show was badly put together. They were doing two locations a night and during the transition from one place to another, Yvette Fielding used a phone to video call Paul Ross who was in the studio presenting the show to the live audience both at home and in the studio. How ridiculous is that!? The show also had a live Ouija board in the audience which was interesting, not because of what they come up with but interesting that Yvette has lost the will to even try and cover up that it’s all fake and she moved the glass. People also start fainting and throwing up. Another problem was the amount of breaks in the show. There was 3-5 minute break every 10 minutes and in the end if you added up all the actual footage or the investigation it’s probably an hour long; this was a show that started at 8pm to 12am. So that got annoying when Paul Ross kept saying “we’ll return after the shortest of short breaks” and everyone on chat was convinced that the breaks were getting longer and longer as the week went on.



The chat box was hilarious! You should of heard the ‘Cath’ jokes. (Cath's the makeup girl who’s a little bit plump and small who screams at everything and when she gets touched by a ‘ghost’ it’s usually the lower body; She wishes.) The guys kept saying every time she screamed that it was because she dropped her KFC bargain bucket, McDonalds just closed or that she was screaming because she was hungry. She also started screaming and fell over and as you can tell, the jokes came flooding out. I was in tears with laughter, my ribs actually hurt so bad. It was really bad what they were saying but I had to laugh. I love Cath really.


Two extreme parts of the investigation during the week was that they had a Tesla machine. They have used it before, but this time they built cages and sent some of the crew in. This machine emits hundreds of thousands of volts and with all this energy it had to be ( HI NICOLA!) discharged onto the crew in the cages; (think of a van der graf machine). On the last night they also had an experiment outside to which they paid Lancashire police thousands just so that no hooligans attack them, and their set up, with fireworks and all sorts. Their experiment? To hang Karl Beattie, the producer and also Yvette’s husband. But don’t worry folks, he was on safety wires and when he was hung, it wasn’t all what it set out to be; it was very poor.


Also during one of the nights (night 7 I think), the crew was doing yet another fake Ouija board session and this time it turned ugly. Karl didn’t feel well at all and ended up on the floor claiming to be suffering from a heart attack. Then shortly after that the sound man, Matt, fainted and got ‘attacked’ and they had to call an ambulance and luckily enough one of the audience was a health care professional! How lucky was that? Staged? Me thinks.


So the conclusion of 8 nights of paranormal investigation? They’re doing another 10 nights in January. I just hope they do better this time. Come on the Most Haunted crew! Don’t let us down!

P.S I promised you two last week but I promise this week I will make a post more interesting to non-paranormal interested people. And Thanks for reading my blogs! Keep up the work! :)
