"The programme you're about to watch is a unique live investigation of the supernatural. It contains material which some viewers may find to be disturbing." #Ghostwatch#NationalSéance
"I think that is such a cheap shot, I have to say." There are so many layers to Sarah Greene's performance, it's just extraordinary.
She's playing being calm on camera, acting talking through the lens to her husband who really is her husband. Through all that you can feel the sincerity.
"I've got to say to everyone watching. Please, please, we don't want to give anybody sleepless nights. We don't want to start panic. Don't let your imaginations run riot."
There you go, 30,000 complainers. It's after the watershed. You should have been in bed. #Ghostwatch#NationalSéance
(To make, just add a #Horse's severed head, a pole and some #Runes. Not to be confused with the #Vindgapi, which uses a #Ling#Fish head instead, and which is used to summon storms.)
And then there's this 1977 report on the #EnfieldPoltergeist, made all the more eerie with the use of scratchy 35mm film, the utter mundanity and creepiness of the setting, and some child-scaring renactments of the evil spirit (or was it?) doing its thang. #Hauntology aplenty.
No evil nuns appear at any point. Anyone for #Ghostwatch?
"So welcome live, this Halloween night, to the first ever TV Ghostwatch"
30 years today since #Ghostwatch was first broadcast, and the 12th #NationalSéance over on the bird site, when we all start watching simultaneously at 9.25pm... Alas, I can't find anything happening over here (do Toot-alongs happen?) and I won't go back there... but fortunately I have the new bluray release so I will focus on that.
Though I may not be able to resist the occasional Toot "It's Pipes, Mum…Pipes is here!"
