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.

Re: Derek Acorah
 
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

Just logged on and seen your reply.That's brillant news I will be fine now and will be in my element knowing that I can still have My most Haunted.

What I find most frightening is when Derek gets posessed by a spirit enterty and he goes all weird.

Do you have physchic powers then Trish?

Dreamaway 10 Sep 12th 2005 6:33 pm

Re: Derek Acorah
 
okay for some of you non believers out there you might take the piss,but as far as I am concerned its brillant.
I know some of the stuff does seem a bit dodgy but I mainly watch it to see Derek Acorah.
I would love a private reading with him.I believe he is 100% genuine.

Hi Dreamaway

there's loadsa interest in all things psychic and a great following in witchcraft and all sorts of mediums in Australia.

Here's a link to to the Mind Body Psychic Expo in SA:

http://www.body-mind-psychic.com.au/

Although there won't be very much info just yet - it's a bit too far in the future!!!

gd :)

I'm not knocking that there may be something in it, just how they go about 'proving' it in the show. My great-grandpappy was a spiritualist medium so there's a bit of it in my family's blood. I like to keep an open mind about these things until somebody conclusively proves one way or the other ;)

I am absolutely fasinated by it but darent watch it on my own :scared: and Col will not entertain it.

I used to go and see spiritulists, mediums and do the tarot cards. Those days are gone now though you can get too obsessed with it all. Found I was forever checking the cards instead of getting on with my life.

Still cast the odd spell though ;)
