Derek Acorah
 
Lets lighten things up a little!!!!
Does anyone know if in OZ there is an equivalent of Pyschic Derek Acorah.
I am really addicted to the tv series Most haunted and I am going to see him in Notts soon (sad I know) but I have my reasons!!!
I need to know if there is anyone as good as him in Australia and do they have a similar following.?
I will really miss it when I go to Oz maybe they will repeat it on Cable.

You were right first time :D I can't stand that show. I have an open mind on these things but that show is so staged. I mean, if they are real investigators, why would they position the camera so you can't see the edge of the tablecloth when it moves? :rolleyes:

Actually Mrs M loves Most Haunted and bought 3 DVDs before we came out here. We did see one show on one of the cable channels (forget which) but it might have been a one-off.

Ohhhhh it's the rethiduals :D .

Most Haunted is on Foxtel Digital here in Brisbane on Channel W (113) on a Saturday evening at 8.45pm.

Worry no more :) . (although they may be ones you've already seen, as I doubt they are new series).

Derek (and his psychic Sam) pop up on the James Whale radio show now and then. A good listen, if a bit weird!

"ooooooo, I can see a man with 2 arms! ........ oh hold on, (thank you Sam!), yes I see a man, with 2 arms, plus 2 legs! This man is talking to me from the other side!"

Do you know anybody who fits this description ?! .... :rolleyes:

Yeah I jest, but he IS good. I've listened to a few of his shows, and altho I'm highly sceptical, he can sometimes hit the nail right on the head with some people!

Or maybe they just go along with whatever he says, but a very enjoyable listen.

I see him once on TV, but only the once, catch him mostly on that radio show I mentioned.

I'm fairly open-minded, but Most Haunted is pure panto isn't it - about as close to real psychic investigations as WWF Wrestling is to a real sport. I watch it occaisonally because it's so funny - especially when Derek gets posessed. I think the best one was where he goes to Yvette "You're a hussy! You're a wench" or something. Pissed myself laughing. What a geezer. :D
