Reply to comment by ARNB19 in TIL the BBC ran a paranormal investigation show called Ghostwatch on Halloween in 1992. The fictional program was filmed to appear as real as possible, using a BBC broadcaster as the host. It only aired once due to the uproar of a frightened public. by kevlarbuns

Exactly what this headline made me think of, lol.

Some radio station redid War of the Worlds in the mid-70s to make it sound contemporary. It scared people all over again.
