Help, my House is Haunted, is a UK-based paranormal investigations programme. Things have moved on since the early days of the genre. When a few \u2018orbs\u2019 (that looked like moths, or dust!) were enough to claim some paranormal activity when any actual ghosts declined to perform on camera.<\/p>\n
Thanks to US programmes, investigators now have a lot of interesting kit, for a start. Things like REM pods and SLS cameras. And there\u2019s the ovilus, and the evp recorder\u2026 All familiar tech to regular viewers. Who (like the people using it) have to take it on trust that any of it actually works and isn\u2019t recording\/mapping stuff that isn\u2019t there.<\/p>\n
And viewers therefore expect to see\/hear something. Because let\u2019s face it, an hour of people asking: \u201cIs anyone there?\u201d isn\u2019t riveting viewing if there is no response.<\/p>\n
I’m not about to accuse anyone of faking things (unless I have 100% proof).<\/p>\n
But in the case of the visit by the Help, my House is Haunted team to Norfolk, I do think they got the ghost’s name wrong!<\/p>\n
Cumbrian Characters is primarily that: a blog about Cumbria\u2019s history and people. It\u2019s also about family and social history, and based on my expertise as a genealogist (amateur) and journalist (professional). So two years ago, when I saw an episode of Most Haunted that purported to have contacted a named ghost, of a man who died in 1901,\u00a0I dug into the archives and newspaper records. And found it was a total fake.<\/p>\n
That post is the most-viewed on the blog, by several thousands \u2013 mind, the others are more \u2018niche topic!<\/p>\n
