Paranormal TV. Whats On?

There seems to be quite a few programmes based on the paranormal at the moment, both fictional, factional and somewhere inbetween .

What are your favourites and what do you suggest we take a look at?

I haven't seen any since Animal X. To be honest, I don't think there'll ever be anything as good as Fortean TV, with father Lionel Fanthorpe.


Incidently, Fanthorpe is doing articles for a new magazine called BBC Countryfile. The first issue is out now. It's got an article about haunted pubs as well. Quite interesting. I doubt it'll include this sort of thing every month, but it's interesting nonetheless. WOuld be even better if it included a Folklore section, methinks

Lionel Fanthorpe is the President of ASSAP, the association I am a member of. I got to meet him when he attended a Paranormal Conference at Muncaster Castle a few years back. He is a very nice, very knowledgable and very entertaining bloke

I agree, and I think Lionel said he'd driven all the way up to the conference from the south on his motorbike with his wife on the back. Fortean TV I liked, a sort of alternate news show.

Ghosthunters on Living isn't too bad. They are American, but they don't run around screaming and try to find logical explanation for things before jumping to conclusions that things are ghosts. This means that they often don't find any evidence of a place being haunted, which is more realistic than the spooks turning up just because a camera turns up.

Hi Swift. I've not watched Ghosthunters but I'll give it a look.

The "Is it real?" series on National Geographic has a good one on hauntings....

Guys, look no further than "Fit and Fearless" on Nuts TV. It features a range of dubiously clad "hotties" scaring themselves whilst Ian Lawman lurks in the background.

You can actually feel your intellect ebb away as you watch it....
