Most Haunted are Fake!

Most Haunted, the first Ghost Hunting show. The show that influenced a generation of paranormal enthusiasm for good or for bad.
Most Haunted seem to be untouchable for debunkers. But I don't care. so join me as I pick apart faked ghosts, fake mediums and fake poltergeist activity.

Thank you!! I’ve worked with people who used to work with the show. 20 odd years they’ve been “investigating” the paranormal, Yvette STILL screams like a banshee every time something happens. And then there’s the fact they don’t put any evidence on that doesn’t have Yvette or Karl in the shot. They’re the one that are doing the biggest damage to us paranormal investigators. They’re after the money and the game. But the worst bit? The fact that people are still gullible enough to believe the crap they put out there.

[@yolandajones4990]

I was a senior paranormal investigator for a large group around the time this show was popular. Getting new members in was a nightmare as they were all fans of this show and were expecting all kinds of crap to kick off like you see in the show. There was no balance to what they (thought they) experienced, if a floorboard creaked, that was proof as far as they were concerned and it was nightmare trying to explain that the heating had just gone off and was most likely wood contracting as it cooled. A good investigator always looks for a rational explanation no matter what they want to believe. It was an absolute circus. I left after a few years, not done anything for ten years now, I got sick of it. The show is an utter farce. A genuine investigation is nothing like what you see here.

[@mermaidheather]

I didn't watch this show much for that reason. I don't know which season it was or anything, I just remember a creaking sound while they were walking and seeing them get all excited about it. The show was just too over-the-top for me so I never bothered with it outside of a couple of episodes once I discovered it.

[@liamcollinson5695]

I agree i believe i have seen ghosts but it's normally unexpected i always found the knocking thing funny ghosts are supposed to be sentient i honestly don't believe they just sat waiting in the dark for someone to maybe knock on a wall so they can do some ghost morse code

I'm a sceptic, and fully aware the show had a few fake bits. But the thing is I still love watching MH. I grew up with it; me and mum would watch it on Living TV, hiding behind cushions :D I like the music, the filming, the history and most of the cast. Call it a guilty pleasure but its just so nostalgic to watch, and the new/extra episodes on their official channel are quite good

[@dylvasey]

I have a direct story which people may find very interesting. I worked with Fred when he owned Caesars Nightclub in Streatham. This was when he first started working with Most Haunted (Indeed the club was actually featured as being haunted - It wasn't). We asked him one day how the ''mediums'' knew about the locations and he laughed and disappeared. When he returned he put a few sheets of paper on the table in front of us. It was show notes that were sent out to everyone. A schedule of sorts, something to keep the shows on time with who would be where and when. Nothing unusual for a TV show until you realise that the name and location was clearly printed on top of the paper. Everyone on the show received this including the ''mediums''. Fred was also financially invested in the show so if you ever wanted a reason why he did things, there it is. The nightclub was failing at the time and he was obviously looking for alternative investments.

[@TaxingIsThieving]

He's very cunning, he got the clip of him throwing a stone and going "what was that?" along with everyone else taken off KZbin.

[@TheCalmMindCollective]

I went to their very first investigation as I lived in a village near Hailsham and was Invited by friends to head to Michelham Priory and met Derek and Yvette and we watched the whole investigation live on a big screen as they went around. it was great at the time and then as you got older you start to think WTF why did i fall for this but it was good for the entertainment value at the time. great video mate.

[@bgneeco7526]

I was in the audience at the Live Most Haunted From Stratford Upon Avon back in 2014. Great fun.

[@karenhawkins8061]

We did a charity paranormal night at Michelham Priory just after they went and recorded. The owner wasn't going to let us do the event because of MH faking of a chair moving. The organiser managed to convince him and he actually walked around with (although we never knew it) and he said he would never allow them back. They had given paranormal investigating a back name

[@WelshChappie]

It was interesting that shortly before Living TV dropped MH, and right after Yvette was caught kicking the bucket on a live event (no, not dying but literally she kicked a metal bucket and claimed a ghost had done it not realising she was fully in shot), she announced she was leaving MH to pursue other ventures. One paper wrote she was simply abandoning a sinking ship, and i think thats spot on. Later when asked why she had left she gave a different story citing that too many ghouls had followed her home from locations and she was now far too haunted to continue most haunted. The serious side of this is, they marketed their show as a genuine investigation and not simply for entertainment purposes. With such blatent fakery that many a viewer would have been duped into buying, MH should have been hit with a huge fine as a warning to other con artists against this kinda thing. Karl Beatie's production company that produces MH is Antix Productions...i guess he was giving us a clue as to what he was up to. Speaking of Beatie, he has been so outspoken against mediums claiming their all fake, and for the most part, he's right. But, coming from him, kettle and teapot.

[@petercarter1019]

The big fall came when they had their media designation changed from documentary to "for entertainment purposes"

I remember Linda the episode where Karl was seen grabbing Kath's legs. He did that over the years two or three times if I recall. For me, the minute Karl Beattie decided to be in front of the camera rather than behind it, it ruined the show.

[@karenhawkins8061]

We remember watching a live episode and Yvette said the place was lovely Derek replied it was lovely and he had never been there before. Unfortunately on the SyFy channel an hour before the show started Derek was on an American show where he was showing other mediums and paranormal investigators around the same place. When he was telling them the history someone asked him how he remembered so much, he told her I remember everywhere I go as I have a photographic memory. That was the night we stopped watching.

[@JPerez9011]

Lol. Derek told on himself. 😂

[@richardperry5538]

Loved most haunted, believed in them aswell, then one day I realised they were fake, one of the guys (Stewart I think his name was) who goes off filming mentioned in one of the programs that he use to do metal detecting which was good to hear as I did as well, well on one of the shows he was off filming alone and suddenly had coins chucked at him, nothing unusual in that I guess, thing is these weren't any old coins these were hammered silver coins, and are rather valuable and rare, when he picked it up he didn't really seem surprised which had he been a detectorist like he said he was he'd definitely reacted in total shock at what had been thrown at him, he then goes on and asks for the ghost to do it again, sure enough another one appears, now these coins are worth anywhere of £100 pounds upwards, if I'd been him I'd be asking for more and more and be in complete melt down as to what was being chucked my way, yet he didn't really seem that bothered which indicates to me it was him chucking them, you also have to remember these coins are rare, the only place you find them is in farmers field by using a metal detector.....strange that isn't it as he goes metal detecting.

I remember being asked to join a paranormal team just as i started investigating the paranormal and called to a meeting of all the members. Things were going great until i started making fun of Yvette Fielding screaming and other things about Most Haunted. For some reason this didnt go down well because little did i know that this team had some connection with Most Haunted Expierance. Well dispite that i was offered a contract to sign and took it home to stew on it for a while. Then i thought to myself , i have as much if not more equipment than this team and will still have to pay a fee for the upkeep of their equipments, insurance, uniforms and restrictions on what i could do personally on youtube, so i rang them up and give them a big no no. I teamed up with a friend interested in the paranormal but never investigated and had no infulance rubbed off from tv shows. Maybe we were not exciting but we wanted the truth, even if it, was at times, boring as heck. Then my health took a bit of a turn and started focusing on one thing and that was audio and itc and trying out new things, not for youtube as such but because its interesting. I rarely watch the tv shows because i cant just sit and watch without pointing out huge holes in what some of these people do and maybe there is some bit of entertaining value in it but i dont take these shows very serous. Northern Irelands Greatests Haunts is a show i did like produced by Andy Mathews, it was back in a time when the paranormal was abit better than the clout chasing generation of today.

I've tried to find a clip of Karl and Stuart seeing the ghost on the stairs during one of their investigations, it was a clip which had a lot of people wowed by the fact that they had seen a ghost. Karl puts his camera onto a table facing the stairs, and for some inexplicable reason then proceeds to tap the lense with his finger two or three times. The ghost is mentioned, and the picture is then shown of the ghost walking up the stairs. The only problem is, the "ghost" is wearing Stuarts baggy jacket, and walks like him, I think you get the picture. The shot was debunked by Chris Halton (I believe it was)

[@connecting2afterlife41]

I used to watch, had all the DVDs and the Lives were an occasion in our house. I was absolutely disgusted by the way they treated Derek Acorah. I saw him once in a show at our local theatre and he was very good and such a nice man. He didn't deserve the way they spoke about him and the curt insincere comments they made upon his death really angered me. Couple that with Stuart so obviously faking everything made me decide to stop watching. I found him irritating, it was all so blatant. After my mums death in 2005, I have to admit the show got me through the grief because it gave me hope that her spirit lived on and so I have to thank them for that I suppose. I still believe there is an afterlife due to personal experiences, but I no longer believe Most Haunted had access to that.

Kreed Kafer and Rik Eedles were the names of the fake "Ghosts" fed by Kieran, however when Derek got possessed by them, it really sealed his fate. Just like yourself, back in the early days, I was taken in before I started to question things. I used to run my own Paranormal investigation group and the majority of the times, nothing happened during the evenings. I even investigated Fred Batts house (The Clockhouse) and met Karl Beattie during the same evening. We used to investigate Caesars nightclub quite often and got a few interesting things on camera but nothing definitive. As for Most Haunted, I stopped watching after about 5-6 years. We heard from behind the scenes, Richard Felix had the nickname "Fingers Felix" because he used to throw a lot of stuff around behind the cameras. I'm not surprised Fred Batt got caught on camera doing exactly the same thing.

In fact they (MH) had to insert a disclaimer at the beginning of their show at the insistance of OFCOM which Most Haunted fought against, it was not put there by MH. There was never a court case.

[@forsakethelight]

😂 I was searching through the comments to see if anyone else thought it was the British version of Ghost Adventures!!

[@PeaceDweller]

This show at one point in the early 00s was getting a million viewers per episode, which is absolutely unheard of for a Paranormal Investigation TV show. Hence the inclination to start faking things was always going to be the natural progression.

[@edenmoon8275]

I saw the clip of Yvette kicking, I think it was, a cupboard. She kicks it and says the usual 'Did you hear that'? I also saw the clip of Carl being pulled at the top of the stairs by a rope around his waist, (didn't realise it was East Drive) in the final edit of the episode, he was 'pulled' by a ghost. I used to be a fan of Most Haunted in it's day and was gutted when I realised they fake stuff. We know now that paranormal doesn't happen on command, don't we :)

[@susi-emily]

We know they are fakers, but it doesn't stop it from being an entertaining show. I liked Derek Acorah too. Saw him live once and he was very entertaining. But I'm a skeptic. An open-minded one, yes, but still a skeptic. I didn't like how they outed Derek though. He was obviously expected to make stuff up to make the show appear more interesting, and then when he does it, they humiliate him. It just wasn't a very nice way to go about getting him off the show.

[@PinkiesBrokenWheelchair]

I'm pretty sure Yvette tried to stifle a laugh when Derek was channelling "Mary loves Dick"! There used to be a clip on KZbin with her included in the shot, but it's been a while since I searched for MH. Keiran O'Keef was so over it, I couldn't work out if he was being shady and passive aggressive, or if he was smugly cashing his cheques from the easiest gig in showbiz!

Thanks for talking about Most Haunted. I'm ashamed to say that years ago I used to record every show and say how good it was that a TV programme dealt with the paranormal. These days you couldn't pay me enough to watch that drivel ! It makes me angry because it ruins it for those of us that have a genuine interest in the paranormal. It also makes it harder for the genuine paranormal investigators to get the message across that the paranormal is real. Programmes such as this are an insult to people's intelligence. They have no interest in proving that ghostly phenomenon exist only in boosting their ratings! Please do keep up your good work of exposing the fakers.

[@jeepsthetimebandit]

I've not watched this vid yet, but I used to knock about with Yvette on Bramhall Park when we were teens. I honestly think, knowing what I do of Yvette, that she started this show with good intent. I don't think it ended that way! I think it became a big scam for views. Right, I'll watch your vid now 😊

To be fair, they did do an atmospheric Halloween live from Owd Demdikes cottage on Pendle Hill. When Acorah, I think it was, had his spirit guide talking through him and saying that Owd Demdikes had gathered her coven together, and were broomstickin' it down mob handed for a tussle, it got a bit frisky👻!

There were no strings, (ropes as it was heavy) attached to it, nothing.

[@philversion1383]

This is one of those videos I was really interested to see your take on it. As I met the Most Haunted crew back in the day (Yvette, Karl and Derek) and they were absolutely lovely people. However I was never fully convinced by a lot of it and knew it was probably faked. However I really enjoyed the production and history of each location, used to love Richard Felix rundown of history of each location as he seemed genuinely excited by it. The first few series of Most Haunted will always hold a special place in my heart as it was the only thing on tv paranormal related since strange but true and I loved it. This was a fair and balanced debunk as always and where-as I will always have love for MH, everything you’ve stated here is true. Great work as always mate ❤

[@IvorBiggun3-]

Fully agree 100% beardo, I was exactly the same, I loved most haunted in the early years, was always a little suspicious of Derek as he was almost constantly possessed. Always suspected when Stuart and Carl would investigate together as stuff was always thrown and all sorts, another dramatic fake seen is when they did the ancient ramm Inn and they went in the barn and Stuart was "attacked" and forced to the floor lol. Was gutted but not surprised when o'keefe outed Derek. I did kind of believe David Wells but he has since been found out aswell unfortunately. One thing I did always love about it was the history of the places they visited such as clerkenwell House of detention and Chillingham Castle. Can't believe they're still going even after they've been outed time and time again, how can anybody now take them seriously? If I'm brutally honest I'm extremely sceptical of all paranormal groups until the day they show us more than just knocks and bumps and bangs I will always think they're playing the game. Hopefully one day some investigation by somebody will reveal some true real unquestionable evidence but I'll not hold my breath.

Hey Beardo… very interesting things about MH! Jason was in the first series of MH as the parapsychologist then Phil Whyman up until series 4, he left for various reasons !! Stuart Torevell , camera man is Yvette’s cousin who was very good at faking things with Karl Beattie, Fred Batt actually met them when they investigated the nightclub he owned, the infamous nightclub Caesar’s where Derek was “possessed by an evil spirit” then Fred turned into a demonologist from nightclub owner, almost as crazy as Derek going from professional footballer to Medium 🤔 I saw Derek live, I won’t speak ill of the dead here however I have a story that probably won’t shock you given the levels these people stoop to, let’s just say any faith I had in him was destroyed in his live show due to something that happened to me personally… I’ll park that there for now. I have much more!! Glad you’ve covered this! Much love to you and Mrs Geek 💕

[@bunchofgrapesorafig]

Good observation, truthfulness and honourablity my Welsh brother. I must admit that back in the early days, say from 2002 to 2009\10 i was a fan of Most haunted so to say. Yes, Keiran O'Keefe was a legitimate parapsychologist and he had a healthy air of scepticism about him which obviously didn't 'fit in' with the Most Haunted team's manipulative ways. When O'Keefe left the show for some reason, the show itself went a little flat as far as I'm concerned. I'm not saying that all of Most Haunted is Fake, but it does make you question everything you might see or hear on the radio and TV as potentially Fake! Best wishes from Swansea...

Totally agree with you, they did Derek dirty.Yes he was faking but they were all at it yet turned on him. You’ve got Stuart and Carl always throwing stones etc. Their programme is what got me into the paranormal stuff so there is a legacy there of them opening up the field to a lot of people. Unfortunately they were as fake as owt. They’d have you believe stones get thrown everywhere that is haunted.

I met Derek a couple of times and he was a nice guy. His wife was lovely too. Yevette was angry at the fact that Derek called himself the star of Most Haunted in his book so they hatched a plan. Rather than seeing Derek as their main draw and cash machine, they pretty much killed the show.

Hey Beardo, I watched this when it was massively popular, and I knew from word go, it wasn't real, but was good entertainment.

[@stewartstafford]

A dead giveaway is when something is suddenly thrown from off-camera or there's a massive bang, the cameraman never gets a fright (almost as if they were expecting it) and never pans to where the noise came from or where the object was thrown from as you would. Remember the Pendle Hill episode where everyone fainted on cue? The camera whip pans right and someone faints. They whip pan left, and someone faints. How did they know to pan so quickly at the right time? (Rehearsed, maybe?) Derek Acorah's biggest mistake was going to Egypt and allegedly talking with the spirits of dead ancient Egyptians...IN ENGLISH!!!
