The one where he said someone loves Dick was pretty amusing, but he was an absolute charlatan. I personally don't like these individuals, they play on people's vulnerabilities, using lost loved one's as a gateway to fleecing the aggrieved. Having been someone whom has had a ringside seat to the devastation these fraudsters can often cause, I have sheer distain for their behaviours, deception and so forth. I no longer work in that area of policing, and deal with more serious offences as part of my current role, but I liken these vermin to that of what we call OCG's, or organised crime groups. Different antecedents, but on a similar spectrum in that they all have a common goal, take people for as much as possible using exploitation. So whilst people may see some humour in these shows, me included, there is a much more sinister side to also take sight of.

So he was keen to do the am-dram possession antics but not get his hair wet! LOL

[@glenturney4750]

Derek was depraved as a child and never let go of his antics for looking for attention. I remember one of their episodes where they brought another media guy along on one of their investigations and Derek claimed there was a ghost standing in front of this door. The media guy asked, "Is he here?" as he pointed to the door and Derek said, "Yes." So, the media guy stuck his hand out where the ghost was supposedly standing and he had a high voltage taser in it and turned it on where the ghost was supposedly standing. Derek and his female partner started yelling at the media guest and were mad that he zapped the 'ghost' and said that it immediately vanished in pain. I nearly pee'd my pants from laughing so hard. It was hysterical.

[@ImAtLevel53]

Yes it was on the front page of one of the Tabloids.

I began to doubt Derek's abilities when he worked on Paranormal Egypt. He confirmed the orthodox belief that the pyramids at Giza were tombs, based on contact with the spirit of an ancient Egyptian guard. To this day, all sarcophagi in all Egyptian pyramids (non-step) were found empty once opened. This is consistent with the ancient Egyptian name of the pyramid: "ka mansion" (house of the life force). The pyramids were resting places for the life force of the pharaoh, not the empty shell it once inhabited.

Most Haunted called their production 'Antix' .So they were all up to antics from the start. I realise that capturing orbs on camera happens as I and so many people have done it. But even in the episode at Mistley, here in Essex, Derek was being led along the river by spirits and it was Yvette that told him that he was going the wrong way. Derek was an integral part of the show and when he left and dreary David came along it was never the same. As for all the live ones, it was as poor as the Ghost Hunt made by the BBC with Sarah Greene. Even without Derek, when Stuart pulled Karl up the stairs by a cable through his belt it was laughable. Just like Stuart always screaming and pretending things had hit him or fell on him. I did have 'someone' tap me on the shoulder in Hever Castle a few years ago, but I didn't scream! I looked around to let that 'someone' get by, and there was nobody there! In the physical at least. Who knows, it may have been none other than Kreed Kafer himself!

I believe that Acorah had genuine abilities in that way, but was constantly pressured by the show to fake certain moments to keep the show exciting and engaging.

[@XXplosiveUK]

He had the ability to make people who are desperate to find closure and gullible people believe him. It gives some people comfort when they believe in ghosts but there isn't a single shred of evidence that has been put forward by anyone that can't be explained as either a hoax or caused by natural phenomenon. With today's technology everyone has a camera and most people live in a house with other people with cameras, door bells have cameras, cars have dash cams and then there is normal CCTV. An estimated 109 BILLION PEOPLE have already lived and died on earth. Thats a lot of people and if ghosts were real there would be endless encounters with proper evidence and even group encounters...there is none. Why do people claim to only see ghosts at night when they are on their own while their phone has ran out of battery?

The show started off quite good but as time went on i lost count of how many times Yvette screamed at alleged spooky sightings. I eventually stopped watching because it got totally unbelievable as far as the crew were concerned. I think what they did to Derek Accora was nasty.

[@mariaboczko3702]

I met Derek Akorah years ago and I can tell you he was a fantastic medium and not a fake. The TV programme was absolute tosh. Timings, scripts and all the other things he had to follow.

[@ToruKurosawa]

This is more like a comedy show... if anyone believes this stuff they need help. All the staff working on the show knew it was bs.

[@lauradavies5346]

Just think how much money he and people like him extract from unsuspecting people it's disgusting and obscene.

[@clairebarrett3048]

Misleading and unpleasant and upsetting to Derek's family I expect, his widow is in her 70s and this is not ok.

[@kimwilliams6591]

I agree leave him alone its not fair of them to bully him he can't defend himself now and his poor wife bless her she must really miss him and his family too just leave him be

[@Matt-ww6nf]

I went to see a medium ten years ago, she'd never met me before. She didn't know my name or anything about me, she told me she didn't do waving of hands or Most Haunted as that was all bullshit, she said I can't predict the future, if I could I wouldn't be sitting here now. She said I will give you what they give me, and that's it. And she then proceeded to get straight to the point with some very personal and very accurate stuff about my previous partner, my grandparents, great aunty and aunty with names, details of their passing and things that she simply could not have known including stuff about my mum which like everything else she told me, is not anywhere online. I was sceptical at first, VERY sceptical, but you couldn't get past the stuff she was coming out with and they most certainly were things that only I, and the deceased would both know. She told me that I would meet someone else within 18 months of my seeing her and that my aunty was working on it for me. I was extremely sceptical of that, but just as we almost got to that point in time after meeting her, I really did meet someone else. Which I honestly did not expect to happen.

[@pearsoneds]

This was so so so cringy to watch. When he calls out the name... bloody hell. So embarrassing.

[@johnwilliams7283]

Derek was the best thing about it

[@jamesbarker2567]

True!!

[@natasha3518]

i never really enjoyed the show with derek in it personally i know the show was for entertainment only i get that but even reading his book i got annoyed nothing he said or did would convince me he was a genuine medium and like cieran i am a skeptical where mediums are concerned i do beleive in a life after death and i do think some still stay with us for various reasons but i am not 100 percent sure most of the mediums who say they are actually are seems to me if money or fame is involved they will take any opertunity and it ruins it now i find it hard to watch any show like this without getting annoyed at the medium

[@Yemmer]

Here from the Chilluminati Pod W Alex and Santel, was just as funny as I expected it to be.

[@lauradavies5346]

All of them are liars and cheats they were all involved in it 😠😠

[@debradaly9864]

In your opinion you forgot to add

[@elleeme9451]

It's really sad that his co-workers were even doubting him and setting him up. They were making a tv show and he was a hit! The Dr and Yvette were snakes on my opinion. I have no doubts at all that he was a psychic medium. But, that doesn't make him infallible. They are just relaying information that comes to them. It's going to be hit and miss and some theatrical elements and their own personal thoughts mixed in.

[@brimcilroy9002]

Your the sort who just wants to believe in all the spiritual bullshit even after Doris stokes, Derek acora an many others have been exposed you will still try to defend it.

[@TheCatCottage99]

I agree, it was very underhand and narcissistic ... projecting their own failings and misdeeds onto Derek.

[@keithmclaren1766]

i think Evette was topping up her bank account at the same time

[@AndrewDaley-lr9qg]

She partly came up with the idea.

[@drjackdaw6627]

It's a very strange subject to dissect. I think the guy in this video has a hidden motive other than ' exposing Derek Acorah as a fake' , he talks about " blanket acceptance " of the spiritual phenomenon, but why do it on the very show ( that no doubt paid him well), why not try to persuade Christians in a church that they might be being hoodwinked? i think what he did with Derek was extremely cheap, surely, if Derek was fake then the whole show was, why didn't he voice his opinion on that and not just use one man as a scapegoat. It was always obvious that when youre paid to perform in front of a camera for big money, you'll dance like fred astaire. i had a reading from Derek, many years ago and found him to be a wonderful person and very genuine, i think sometimes the big limelight spoiled that. And as for a man no longer with us, unable to speak up for himself, i think its disgusting and should be laid to rest.

[@MaxineShannon.0351]

Stop bullying Derek he's passed away, if you wanted to bully him you should have done it when he was alive ..Fake or not Derek made Most Haunted now I don't watch it because it's boring without him!! Quit it he ain't here to defend himself ..And it's ACHORA NOT ACORA

[@keithwalton7922]

O'keefes sole purpose when going in was to out Derek,he destroyed the man and destroyed the fun,okeefes head was so far up his backside he didn't think for a minute we all knew it was bunkum.

[@tonycritcher3419]

These comments have to be the best on KZbin yet! I've read them all, laughed my head off and got tears in my eyes! So funny!

[@HauntedScouse]

And yet Most Haunted employed Derek for SIX, yes SIX, seasons before deciding he had to go. Sadly, everything about it looked more about removing the most popular member. Maybe, one day, the truth will out because Derek, god rest him, never spoke ill of them in his lifetime. Plenty of Liverpool people knew him well before MH and have nothing but amazing things to say about his abilities. MH needed 'evidence'... It NEEDED Derek... soon went downhill, and through medium after medium, following this... Forever thankful they were around though or we might not be as they did inspire us and many, many others.

[@Camille_Anderson]

We saw him live & he was very accurate.

[@michellelee3423]

2:38 Derek was a true gentleman. Quite unlike the awful couple in charge of this tv program!

[@stevemaclaine4547]

but fake

[@TraceyG6040]

Derek was coerced into hyping up his behaviour and faking stuff. He should have told them no. The way he was "exposed" was downright nasty. He was set up to fail and encouraged to fake in order to boost viewing figures.

[@troublebreathing8648]

you know what they say "speak ill of the dead"

[@ramblingrose1540]

I believe all the 'ghost hunting' shows are faked, to be honest.. They have to be.. Can you imagine how many people would tune into a show, where nothing happened every single week?🤔

[@Peter-m2u]

You are right, all total crap

[@arupian666]

I don't think anyone actually believed the show was "real" did they ? It was always just entertaining bollocks, be it Derek being the "medium" or anyone else.

[@omg_wtf_not_now]

Its all bullshit, they kicked Derek out because he was getting too big. Anyone can see that and when they did Most Haunted went down hill. Shot themselves in the foot.

[@timothybrown5999]

Recording psychic readings and showing it to those read would be very illuminating. “He knew my grandmother’s name”, well he first said he was seeing a letter and when you confirmed he guessed two names wrong before hitting hers. There was one guy who ventured to guess that a psychic hit on 6 names and only missed on 3-4. They missed on 31! They only remember the things that positively hit a nerve and forget all the mistakes.

[@RhondaKL]

I had a friend who was part of the Most Haunted production,and he told me about it before it aired. He said two names were planted,both anagrams,and Derek used both.

[@patrickhawthorneLS]

Dont care what anyone says,Derek was awesome and fpr sure he was under heavy pressure to perform and to also be right The rest of the crew were much less genuine

[@ninsters89]

My sisters Mother in law had all of her three chrildren years of birth predicted before she had them by Derek all of which were accurate.

[@stevebloomer7027]

So a show that was televised to look for *ghosts* made the claim that one of their number was fake? WTF!

[@apollonia6656]

I am extremely sceptical and not just about Derek Acorah. What about his replacements ?

[@beckscald3855]

My mother used to watch the show. I was forever tellimg her it was fake and to take it as a pinch of salt.

[@robertclivejones4400]

If you ask me, Kieran O'Keefe, and the rest of the most haunted crew are all the fakers, NOT the mediums. Especially not Derek Accora!.

[@Monicablackbelt24]

Acora possessed was comedy gold…:

[@DA11111111]

Alot of mediums are fake ie like the normal stuff they come out with like u know a guy called dave/steve etc(think everyone nearly does)!!! But one I see years ago came out with some stuff I couldn't really relate too but at the very end she told me my nans name,I was very close to her but lost her when I was very young.Theres no way in a million years she would of known my nans name! That was enough proof for me.

[@wkworld6741]

They are all fakes as far as I'm concerned. Not one of them has ever been proven to be real. There was a million dollars waiting for them from james randi if they could prove it- the money was never claimed.

[@elwolf8536]

Remember carl going off and having massive experiences on his own 😂😂😂

[@ricbonnici4878]

Thought most people knew that the whole show was fake Derek was good at acting different characters and made it entertaining

[@robertmcgivern6585]

Bollox ! Next he'll be saying Tommy Cooper wasn't doing real magic.

[@bongfonder]

😂

[@jackieeccles4825]

Im actually waiting for the moment when Ciaran O Keeffe actually faces the paranormal and shits his pants and gets admitted to a psych ward because what he witnessed was real 😂

[@annaoddi2257]

Me too. Better yet, I will send him, on his own, nobody else, to meet my family in my old home, which is MOST DEFINITELY haunted.... then let's see what he says. I don't want to hear logical explanations, for I know that that house holds a malevolent spirit, who is holding EVERYONE who has passed there. So yeah. I don't want logical explanations. Just what he thinks he sees, and don't worry, I would believe him 100 percent. I have been told by a female in touch ( supposedly) with that side. 😮

[@corinnewebb6424]

Yvette was a drama queen. Loved the limelight. Slightest noise and she had to scream blue murder. It was Derek who got sick of her.

[@winterroadspokenword4681]

I believe in spiritual matters. But people are far too willing to accept anything to take away their pain, rather than simply grieving.

[@PaulFrancis111]

I sat with Derek in his house, in his kitchen, we had a few beers and a great chat, I of course asked him about the problems and situations with most haunted, and you know, he didnt have one bad word to say about any of them especially ceiran o'keiff after how he was so badly treated. The problem was Derek became bigger than the show, and the rest of those idiots couldnt allow that, I advised him to revisit the Antiques Ghost Show that he did which was excellent, Rest In Peace Derek, and may all the nay sayers find the light in their heart, which they will as soon as they experience a sever loss, thats when the keyboard warriors pray that mediums are real

[@aremedyfrosty]

Can anyone remember what channel livingtv was on the old cable?

[@jaytay8637]

What about the other guy, bald, heavy set guy ? had hilarious paroxisms of terror almost ever episode, Stewart ?

[@sueq6]

oh he was awful

[@ajmartineau8221]

I despise fake anything. All for money and fame. Karma comes for everyone. Mostly all fake.
