There are people who are skeptical and rational down here in Wiltshire too, you know... I'm in no doubt that there are Hayley . I was thinking of the less reserved type of straight talking dyed in the wool Scottish sceptic like Corporal Fraser off Dads Army..... morganp Thats exactly the type i was thinking on too Morg...but then i had in mind a now departed uncle of my mothers who rarely minced his few and far between words and once at a family party was asked for his tuppence worth on the subject of a psychic one of his sisters had been to see said " See when she tells yi something worth talking aboot all let yi know ma opinion hen , till then yis are aw talking s*ite" He had a lovely way with words did old Uncle John ...in his own delicately put way i like to think he was saying "until you provide me with some kind of evidence for your claims i will refrain from accepting it as fact " ;D Weirdly one of his brothers was a high heid yin in the Australian spiritualist church which made for interesting family get togethers when he visited from Oz , the Uber realist and the spiritualist together in one room with copious amounts of McEwans export at new year made for many a happy childhood memory of rabid interogation and debate haha ;D

Oh2bhappy I have a sneaky feeling there are a lot of people out there who feel the same. I suppose they are to proud to admit it. Not like us eh. . I get the best laugh reading the messages at the bottom of the screen,some of them are hilarious and the best part is they are all having parties. I may take Fluff advice and have a wee dram every time a certain word is spoken, or someone screams. Boy I could end up legless or even seeing things that are not there, spooky. That sounds like such a good idea!!

that line up is rather disappointing tbh, there are better 'haunted' locations in and around that area

Which ones are you thinking of? I think the Red lion is probably the most famed and coolest of supposedly haunted places.

Hayley, half of the locations are good but the lesser known ones would be better, IMO?
Spotted Cow pub, Coate Melksham Close, Penhill Black Horse Pub (now Check Inn), Wroughton The Chiseldon House Hotel, Chiseldon The Harrow, Wanborough The Highworth Tunnels Arts Centre, Devizes Road
The red lion, i heard is rather good for the so-called activity

They could film an episode from the inside of a skip and I bet they would experience cold spots, tappings on body and metal, whisperings in ears - basically whatever the running order of the filming schedule dictates in order to have a final broadcastable edit that conforms to the MH tried n tested formula.

I really can't understand why they believe, bangs, raps and far distant screams on a all too regular basis qualifies as nothing BUT 4 hours a night and 8 days of bulls*it? First it was sold as 'factual' now it's 'entertainment' as deduced by offcom. Why do people want to watch 4 hours of somone knocking on a door? If that's the case i'm quite happy to take 15 quid a ticket to have people watch me knock on a surface if they like?
If their going to fake it, why not liven it up? Have a fire breathing dragon or a four armed giant budda with a king kong costume hiding in a cuboard ready to pounce or somthing?

reckon we should all bundle down there on a live evening, dressed in white sheets with peep holes cut out and zombie costumes. Jump out occasionally, making noises every so often?

Well scrap the compartively tame wandering souls .....its 8 night 8 faces of evil ! The trailer with a particularly grim faced Yvette in serious voice mode is now on Living and but no word on the locations yet ....whether its the same ones leaked or a whole different lot this time it seems they are once again going down the route of bigging up the "evil" factor and heading for an even more sensationalist shock factor what with the new series trailer also airing and promising their "darkest investigations yet".....and there was me thinking you couldnt get any darker than nae lights and a close up of yvies left nostril.

Looks like they're going into pantomime villain mode and going all 'dark side' to further sensationalise the soap opera that they've become. They are however missing a Widow Twanky but I'll wager there arecertain sidecharacters waiting in the 'team' who'll make Evvys left nostril look like the entrance to the Emerald City.
Their 'darkest investimagations yet' just means more screaming, more Karl getting posessed/moody, more effing n jeffing and spooning on extra helpings of bullsh*t.
But hey....that's Showbiz! ;D

But hey....that's Showbiz! ;D morganp You know there really should be a Most Haunted Annonymous ....somewhere that the skeptical closet watchers can reveal their deepest darkest admittions of covert MH episode watching despite every little fibre of their being screaming "switch it off ". ;D Despite the complete and undeniable knowledge that its all a load of balls there is this inexplicable urge to watch even just a snippet just to see who's cast as the pantomine twanky , the villain , the fool and the plucky herione (as if we didnt already know who fits each role ) and then sit in awe at the sheer ham spectacle of it all as something nearing a skeptical overload attempts to burst out of the mouth in a colourfull aray of comedic quips and observations. Its almost akin to kind of inexplicable urge you get to watch newsnight when Boris or Brown is on ...you know it will be a car crash , you know you'll feel the instant bubbling of annoyance build in your gut, you know it will be full of bumbling disaster and verbal nonsense but you just cant help feeling the need to witness it and comment on the comedic circus that awaits you. I have to agree Morgan , its long been clear that the "eeeevillleeeee" approach is now firmly the genre of choice for the MH crew , drawing heavily on the hammer house obsessions of Karl and the gothic gurning that Yvette now seems to have adopted as her "default coupen position" along with a now legendary desperate love of all things "demon" encroaching on almost every single live as the latest "ouija stalker" trails the team (one presumes even to the bog) throughout the 8 nights frolics and tomfoolery ...no fictional eighteenth centuary monk with a penchant for disembodied harpsicord playing is good enough for em now ...no made up love scorned lord of the manor hell bent on peeble chucking is gonna cut it ....nope they aint gonna be happy unless theres a feeking imaginary devil with red eyes and steaming nostrils tapping out dixie on their boom mike and getting yvie to spell K.....I.....L.....(well we know where thats going) on the ouija board for our viewing distaste. Tis most definatly showbiz as you say Morg , nothing more nothing less and the biggest laugh of all is watching them do the very things Karl has expressed his distaste for in his recent "Unexplained debate" series on their channel in what comes across as a poor attempt at trying to say "look at me being all skeptical and proper" which has had me doubled up on occasion in spasms in laughter at his ironic and seemingly hypocritical comments surrounging everything from the use of "past" mediums which he seems to be digging right in with very poorly veiled attacks on old degsy on most every show to his recent comments surrounding his "skepticism" on everything from demons to degsy with a hysterical recent expresion of his disgust at "charging fake mediums" etc ....he seems to have no irony or hypocritical switch . Lets see what the latest shennanigans provide

OK OK. I admit it its me I am the original M H skeptic closet watcher. Bring on the ducking stool,the stocks and baskets of rotting veg and fruit and let fly at little ole me. I will prevail, even if the white coated people eventually catch me. Gosh look at what I have just written. I think I may need help to come out of said closet. This could be my first step towards sanity and away from the wailing banshee and her entourage. Do you think there is any hope for me, or am I doomed to continue forever watching M H. ;D ;D ;D Advice please [use a alias if desired to protect yourselves]
