Reply to comment by Wurm42 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
Fucking hell don’t watch it.

I was 11 when I watched this with my Mum. Can not stress how much this horrified me and caused months, maybe years of shear terror when going to bed alone and in the dark. Just thinking about it now is making me feel uneasy. The show made a thing about how pipes in the house would make noise, and how the girls would hear cats fighting. Well, living in an old house and let me tell you our pipes were noisy. And unbelievably that night, cats were outside my window fighting. You never forget that awful sound. I’d like to say how fond I am of the experience, being all nostalgic, but it single handedly caused some serious trauma in my life which still haunts me now. Bravo, you cunts. Looool!
