I enjoyed some of the old Most Haunteds too. I always watched them tongue in cheek, never believed a word Derek came out with, chortled at his 'possessions', and was thoroughly entertained. Say what you like about Degsy, in the old days he had a lot of chutzpah/charm. I also loved the history and background details of the buildings/locations. It was always very well done, particularly by the lovely Richard Felix. Lesley Smith knows her stuff (and is a very pleasant lady, I've met her), but she came across as slightly deranged in her bits to the camera, so much did she ham them up. What spoiled the old Most Haunteds for me was the gradual emergence of Karl Beattie from behind the camera to in front of it. His arrogance and charmlessness grew with every episode. I've never seen Derek Acorah live, nor Colin Fry, but what is mind boggling for me is that Derek was well and truly outed as a fake by Ciaran O'Keefe during his MH days and STILL Degsy manages to pack theatres ........ and is laughing all the way to the bank

Just a quick correction here. It was not CIaran who outed Derek, Ciaran was mearly the figurehead, the person directed to go to the papers and so on. It was in fact Karl behind the whole thing, Karl pretty much directed Ciaran his entire time he was on MH.
Ciaran had been in contact with me and was feeding me info about Derek Acorah, at the time I didn't realise that it was Karl behind it all, and Ciaran was just following orders.
6 Months before Ciaran went to the Mirror, I had published the exact same story on BadPsychics about Acorah and the Kreed Kafer thing, I had been used by Karl Beattie to expose Derek, using Ciaran as the intermediary.
The whole thing backfired for them though as the Mirror "expose" was only supposed to expose Derek, but instead Matt Roper the journalist, decided to rip off a load of material from BadPsychics and myself WITHOUT GIVING ANY CREDIT! I might add, so the article became an exposure of Most Haunted as a whole and not just Derek Acorah.
A year or so after that Matt Roper contacted me to ask for help to expose Gordon Smith. I politely asked Matt why he completely ripped off and stole material from BadPsychics and did not give any credit, I also reminded him that their so called exclusive was no such thing as I had exposed Derek 6 months earlier, and the rest they had lifted off my site.
Either way I told Matt Roper to stick it, and this is one of the reasons I turn down 99.99% of requests from the media for help in exposing psychics.
Anyway just thought I would throw that out there for anyone who didn't know the truth about it all.
Ciaran was only ever an actor playing the part of parapsychologist on Most Haunted, he was directed and produced and never said or did a single thing of his own imagination. He has sold out his morals so many times, that he is disliked within the psychology communities, and is a laughing stock of the skeptical communities.
