WANTED: Most Haunted

WANTED: Most Haunted
On occasions I would watch an episode or two of Most Haunted. For a few months now the show seemed to fall off the face of the Earth, erased from existence. If you were to look it up on travelchannel.com, it was nowhere to be seen. It usually follows Ghost Adventures on Fridays but hasn’t been on. Just recently, I saw on a couple of blogs do a post about the show. Rumors are that it was cancelled but sure enough, it appeared on Friday, three weeks ago, following repeats of GA. Perhaps this is the final season?

Last night I finally watched the show, and it’s basically the same as it has always been. We follow this UK investigation team to a most haunted location in different places all over the world. Here is my Reader’s Digest version of the show if you haven’t watched it yet:

The show starts off with Yvette Fielding, the show’s host, walking around the place they will be investigating and giving us the ghostly reported sightings. Just my opinion, but I liked her hair better when it was short and sassy. After Yvette is finished, Leslie Smith, the resident historian, walks around the place and talks about the historical events that happened there. Next we find Yvette talking with Ciaran O’Keeffe, a parapsychologist and skeptic, getting his opinion of what they might expect during the investigation.

Next is the walk around for which Ciaran, Yvette along with a median, walk from room to room to see what kind of vibe the median picks up. Usually they are not aware of the history or haunting of the place. Leslie returns when they are finished to let them know if they got much of the history correct.

The investigation is usually done when it is dark just like most of the other ghost hunting shows. Joining Yvette, Ciaran, Leslie and the median, is Kat Howe and Karl Beattie, Yvette’s husband, and other crew members. They are usually armed with digital cameras, video handhelds, thermal cameras, and recorders. They will place static night vision cameras throughout the place they are investigating. You don’t get the annoying background music and you do get the evidence as it happens. Sometimes they may do a séance if they feel it is necessary. The show wraps up with Ciaran giving his opinion of the personal experiences and evidence that was collected.

This is Most Haunted in a nutshell. Not one of my favorites but mildly entertaining.
