Full Of It #175 - Ghostwatch (Patreon)

First broadcast on BBC1 on Halloween night, 1992, Ghostwatch is a horror mockumentary starring British TV presenters Michael Parkinson and Sarah Greene as show hosts investigating paranormal activity in a home on a West London council estate. Traumatising an entire generation of children and parents alike, the show would become infamous for its realistic and terrifying depiction of the haunting of a mother and her two daughters. The BBC would go on to receive so many complaints that to this day, it has never been broadcast again.

I would recommend that you watch the show in full before listening (if you haven't seen it) but the pod does not contain spoilers if you want to get the backstory first. I've listed a link to the video below. While there are parts of the film that remain scary today, it's largely very dated and reads like a particularly smart episode of Most Haunted should you need reassurance before clicking play.

This pod features strong language and references to suicide.
