Well Most Haunted Live is back for a massive seven night Halloween special live from Denbigh in North Wales.

Apparently each night they are going to do some things which have never been seen before on television culminating in a live exorcism of Denbigh Asylum, they will burn down the asylum on the seventh night to rid the village of the curse and spirits of witches there.

It is all advertised on the tv guides. I could not belive it at first that they will burn down the building and conduct a live exorcism.

This is taking the show to another level.

This show is so contrived (as if it wasn't anyway). Last time I watched they spent more time with the bald headed spartan talking to the audience than the actual investigation.

Still, if they can pull something new out the bag it would be worth a watch.

...of nauseating mediocrity, yes.

Pretty obvious from the outset that the show's faked, I mean Yvette Fielding spent five years on Blue Peter, famously making a pig's ear out of a pancake, and doing a bunch of things that are probably more scary than wandering around dark castles. Considering a lot of co-incidences occur on the show that are ignored or not picked up on sound, and the fact Derek Acorah was exposed as a fake makes me question how real th exorcism will be.

How do you fake an exorcism? Mime to a backing track?

Most people tune in to see a bunch of people freaking themselves out in a darked room.

I'm pretty sure no one buys into Derek's amdram theatrics, do they?

It's not real as OFCOM passed it as entertainment rather than a real demonstration of the occult a couple of years ago basically saying the audience are aware that it's nonsense.

The same disclaimers go out ahead of John Edward and Colin Whatsischops.

Well most haunted live has been on for two nights now.

I thought the first night was interesting, with Stuart unconcious. Thought things were going to take a turn for the worst.

Tonight apparently they are going to do electro-shock therapy to try and get "ghosts" to appear.

Wonder what will happen?

I am guessing from the lack of headlines regarding proof of ghosts, nothing?

Last night was hilarious, the things they do to try and conjure up witches and ghosts! Perhaps we should use the same electric shock method here to discourage trolls.

How many years has this been going now and they've never caught any ghosts on camera.

Thursday nights show apparently 3 minutes early. They apologised on Friday but said they couldnt say why. Does anyone know?
