Totally Lost All Interest & Belief In Most Haunted!

August 30, 2007 3:26pm CST
I am an avid fan of the paranormal and i have been to a few paranormal investigations. I have been watching Most Haunted since the second series and i absolutely loved it. I am a believer but when i watch the show, im not 100% taken in by every single thing they see or hear. Now i know there are people that either love it or hate it and when this topic comes up in conversation with family and friends, there is a great divide! I defend the show and Derek's abilities to the bitter end, but i also appreciate everyones opinions at the same time. However....about a month ago my friend showed me a clip from a site which showed why Most Hanted was fake. The clip showed a piece of an episode where Yvette is with Derek and Derek has become a young girl called Anne and he is speaking in this girls voice saying allsorts as he does. Then you see the part of filming come to the end and Yvette and Derek are standing round obviously waiting for someone to shout `cut'...now you see the cameraman lower th camera a little and the crew starting to chat BUT the camera is still rolling. When Derek and Yvette think the filming has stopped and they are ok to go on their way, they burst out laughing, both of them and start taking the micky about the impression Derek has just done of the young girl. I was absolutely horrified, completely disappointed and angry and i felt stupid for ever believeing this show was real and telling people it was. What an idiot i was, but it was such proof that all along it was fake...how could they? I no longer watch the show, but i am still a believer. Did anyone else see this clip and have now changed their mind?

i used to be a avid viewer of Most Haunted! i loved the show. then after a while i realized that Derek gets "possesed" in every show! i believe in the paranormal. i havent seen a ghost myself, but there are just too many unexplainable things that happen you know? i can even grant that Derek might be a real psychic. but as we all know the "ghosts" dont perform on command..so how is it that he was possessed all the time?!! it was just happening far too often to be credible anymore in my opinion! i havent seen the video clip you're speaking of. but its rather disappointing to realize that they are taking advantage of ppl who believe! makes me mad too for that matter! im sure the masses of their fans would be very angry too! you should find a way to post a link to the video on their website or something..maybe in the message boards? if they have one that is. im sure it wont last very long before they remove your posting and link..but hopefully it will reach some ppl and they will in turn tell ppl they know. nothing worse than feeling like a sucker is there? by the way..what does "taking the micky" mean?

Sorry! Taking the micky means to mock someone or something. I'll have to ask my friend where she found this clip cause it would be great to post a link for it, im sure loads of people would like to see it....and like me, im sure you would be shocked and disgusted at the way they were behaving! Im never watching another episode in my life. Anyway, apparently that was the real reason Derek left. He was forced by the tv bosses to fake it for ratings and eventually he was so fed up of it all and fooling viewers that he left. Thats why he was replaced.
