Most Haunted Admit to faking stuff!

I am a member of a Paranormal Group here in Tyne & Wear & one of the founding members of the group works at the North East Air Museum! He knows the staff well & he was told by the people there, that when Most Haunted were there, they admitted that they faked everything on that episode, coz apparently very little or nothing Paranormal happened! I think they do this a lot when nothing happens to make the show more entertaining, which obvioulsy is NOT good! it is very wrong to lie to the fans & the public in this fashion! I believe there are episodes when real stuff does sometimes occur, cos after all they are in haunted locations, but it's hard to tell what is what sometimes, but it is very obviously not reall when they start all that acting saying they can't feel there legs or colapsing or slapping each other etc lol!

You may have noticed all the credible people left the show, Mathew & several other of the sceptics left & Richard Felix was also fired from the show, not sure if this was because he exposed there fakery too before he was axed, but he did admit also that they are faking most of the paranormal Activity etc & acting!

So your 'friend' told you that some 'other people' 'said' they faked.

1, evidance is needed, not mere hearsay.

2, if they did fake they be stupid enough to let the people at the place see them.

You say the credible people left and the sceptics.

1, you quote felix, he was the only one that unreservably believed in a spirit word, the rest are open minded sceptocs.

2. you seem to have forgotton Cairan, the biggest sceptic out. There's also the other sceptic on the celeb on, cannot remeber his name.

Only those with no valid argument pick holes in people's spelling and grammar.

Your not saying you believe this show is totally for real are you? It's all about ratings, money & mayhem!

Actually, they didn't let the people at the air museum see them fake stuff, they wouldn't allow anyone is the hanger when they were filming!

But if you dont believe me try writing to Richard Felix on his website...i'mnot saying he will tell you that it;s fake, but it;s worth a try!

I also know this old woman who is a member of my team & she was told by this other medium who has worked on the show, the whole thing is scripted!

As for Ciaran, he often says, dont believe everything you see & hear! He knows it's fake, he's probbly there for the real investigating & the money & publicity!

I am not surprised after watching GH and seeing how many "haunted" places are easily explained by non paranormal happenings. MH seemed to have way too much activity and never had a washout in any episode that I have seen. Also the activity was always tapping and moving the table or chairs. They never got any hard evidence of anything. They always seem to get answered by the spirit or ghost. It was just too much. The shrieking gets annoying as hell after a while too, why would so-called professionals freak out so much each time?

[–] JupiterStorm 17 years ago

Because most of them, such as Yvette, are afraid of the dark, not ghosts.

Everyone says they're a bunch of whimps screaming all the time, but be honest, not a single person wouldn't be afraid and edgy walking around in the dark in a place with a horrible and violent past.

Well, a true professional shouldn't act like that. It seems like it would be hard to find evidence of the paranormal if you freak out at every sight and sound. A bird could fly past them and they would scream like children and run away, without ever considering an option to it being a ghost.

ok, straight from the horses mouth.... http://youtube.com/watch?v=YiIw7ht_pE8

drag that to your adressbar and listen to what yevet has to say on the subject.

i was hooked on this show... and like most of you when derek would become "posessed" id just loose intrest, not to mention the ghost bunnies.

[–] bootlegcity 17 years ago

What a load of old crap. Anyone in the know will tell you Antix have a clause in all their staff contracts that forbids them discussing any aspect of production on MH, during and after their employment.

Felix has not been able to say anything so far even though a lot of people including me have emailed him. Jason Karl is keeping quiet for now. Derek was caught out by Yvette and Karl anyway so anything he says is pretty much discredited as he was posessed by an anagram twice!
Richard Felix was allegedly kicked off the show because he was becoming too popular (Yvette aparrently is scared of people overshadowing her! Thats why the camera is always up her nose for most of the episodes!). He has to the best of my knowledge never admitted to any faking or acting on MH. He claimed pretty much everything they caught was the best evidence of ghosts he had seen anyway. If he comes out saying that it was all faked now, he will lose all the credibility he has! (Please correct me if I am wrong, preferably with some evidence!)

I'm not saying they don't fake stuff,but I find it very difficult to believe that they are that dumb that they told the staff at a haunted location that they faked everything. I also think that if they admitted it was fake to me I would be on the phone to the daily mirror pretty sharpish selling some stories.

[–] JupiterStorm 17 years ago

To believe in ghosts but think this show is fake makes no sense.

Think about it. They go into a location with a horrible history and MANY reports of paranormal activity, so they're DEFINETLY going to catch at least something real. It makes perfect sense.
It's not like all activity would just cease when the lights go out and they start filming. I don't think they fake things.
Of course going into a paranormal hot-spot is going to guarantee true ghostly activity, even if you are the crew member of a TV show.

And to the OP who claims they wouldn't let anyone else in the hanger while investigating: Because if they hear a strange noise far off they wont be able to tell if it's them or something paranormal.

Also, they have done tonnes of investigations where they let the owners of the site join them. I'm watched plenty of episodes where they invite the owners to join them.

You're full of $h!t. If you going to lie, at least tie up all the holes.

I believe whatever doesn't kill you simply makes you...stranger.

Okay, then let's take you to one of the most haunted places in Britain and leave you in the cellar, no lights, and nobody else. If any sort of noise was made you'd piss your pants. Yeah they freak, when some unhumane sound breaks the silence, or perhaps when they here a very loud banging noise catching them by surprise. They're only human, what they're look for is something they cannot see. Cut them so slack. Besides, Stewart and Karl never run away.

I don't know if any of their vigils are faked or not, but there are questions that go unanswered.

If you're afraid of the dark, ghost hunting is probably not the best career choice.

How many times has Cieran discounted table movement because the camera didn't show the top of the table at the same time as the legs - and why do they keep showing either only the table or only the legs?

How many times has someone reacted to something off camera and the cameras are only showing the faces of the people reacting? For example, how often are Karl and Stewart witnessing something happening off camera but the cameras are focused on their faces?

I've wondered how many sounds are added in post-production - some of the sounds that a viewer hears would be something that the crew would notice if the sound occured while they're on their vigils.

I can't believe people actually believe this show is real! It doesn't take a rocket scientist to find footage of them faking things. Go to You Tube for God sake and type in fraud, Most Haunted and you will find a lot of videos of them caught in the act.

[–] g_rudge 17 years ago

of course they have to fake stuff to keep people watching, it is good entertainment, not a 'true' investigative show like ghosthunters. Ghosthunters actually gets down to the science of things regarding psychology etc... Most Haunted is just entertainment

[–] deem714 17 years ago

Here is how they faked...

They have never caught anything paranormal on camera!!! Anyone notice that? The camera is facing them and yvette is like "this is scary!" or some shi7 like that. A noise is heard BEHIND THE CAMERA and Yvvie starts screaming and Cath bawls like a baby.

I liked Richard and missed him when he was fired. I know that Derek left to persue his "Blockbuster" show "Haunted town" but I thought he was the one that hammed it up the most. Most of his "posessions" were either of a violent man or of a young scared shi7less boy. and It always seemed to happen on cue, his posessions.

(incidentally -- the show that he left this show to do is terrible and I think just plain rude -- ding dong!! You have a ghost. may I come in and be possessed by it?) I am surprised that the show lasted as long as it did.

You're laborers, you're supposed to be laboring! That's what you get for not having an education!!
