guilty pleasure tv: most haunted live

over the halloween weekend, during one of my late night surf sessions, i found out that the travel channel in the US has been showing the hugely popular UK reality program most haunted.

on special occasions, the most haunted team of yvette fielding (host), derek acorah (the psychic medium) and a slew of crew (i'm partial to cameraman Jon P) go live and broadcast all over the world to explore the creepiest places in england.

this halloween weekend, the gang have already been spooked at the tower of london, a pub in hackney and on halloween evening, they go in search of jack the ripper!

it's totally hokey tv, but the whole mix of night vision cameras, thermal imaging, live webcams and loads of ouiji board contact makes most haunted one of the better guilty pleasure shows around. but the best part is the live audience and the host that says things like 'they've just said that the room has an eerie feeling. isn't that wonderful audience?'. it's totally hilarious and weirdly creepy at the same time.

for those who'll miss this live event, check out their better edited and less sensationalist weekly program every friday night on the travel channel. until then, these most haunted live shows are your best bet this halloween evening.
