Worth watching

A

s someone

with a keen

interest in

the subject,

I watch a lot

of programmes based

on the paranormal.

I just can’t help it!

So, for those of you

who can’t get your fill of

all things spooky, here

are the shows that I

recommend you look at,

most of which can be

found on satellite

TV, or on the good

old Internet.

Scientific

My all-time

favourite

paranormal series

is Ghost Hunters,

narrated by William

Woollard (this isn’t

the American

show by the

same name).

Ghost

Hunters is a

British show,

and dates from

the late 1990s.

It features

accounts of

paranormal

incidents from

witnesses, and

has a scientific

point of view

from people in

the field, such as

Professor Archie

Roy and

Mary Rose

Barrington.

Mediums

also feature

regularly

in this

series. It covers stuff

from ley lines to poltergeists.

There were four series of

Ghost Hunters,

and the DVDs are

now available to

buy if you can’t

find the episodes

to watch on TV

or online.

I’d rate this

10 out of 10!

Worth it

Another of my

favourites is

Paranormal

Witness.

Today,

it’s on its

fifth series,

but I don’t

know if

it will get

a sixth, so

it’s worth

catching.

It features

all kinds of true

paranormal-

themed stories,

and includes interviews with

those who were involved

in the experiences and

dramatisations.

There’s not much in

the way of scientific

analysis, but it’s still

very interesting.

This is an

American show,

so focuses on

that country,

but there’s an

episode or

two based

elsewhere, such

as Mexico.

I’d give

this production

eight out of 10.

Scary!

Another

American show

that I watch is A Haunting.

It’s been on air since 2005,

and there are nine

series for you to

catch up on, covering

hauntings, exorcisms

and possession...

Some of the accounts

are truly scary!

I would

award this a

seven out of 10.

List

Now you

wouldn’t

think that

a show from

New Zealand

would be in my

list, but you’d be

totally wrong!

Sadly, only one

series was ever

produced of Ghost

Hunt (2005).

Featuring

three paranormal

investigators, each

of the episodes

explored some of

the country’s

most ghost-laden

locations, from theatres and

cemeteries to old mansions

and railway stations.

If you can

catch an episode,

then it’s definitely

worth watching.

Another eight

out of 10.

Well, there you

go, my list of some

great paranormal

shows for you to

enjoy until next

month’s Chat it’s

fate comes out.

Settle down and

turn off the lights...

On

second

thoughts, leave

them on!
