@OceanicMetal i only found out about it about 2 yrs ago because i was looking for horror mockumentaries. big horror fan myself...there are a surprising number of good ones...oddly enough some of the best are the ones with the lowest budget
As has been stated it was the first of its kind. It does seem obvious now but remember this predates a lot of the mockumentaries +satires to which we've become accustomed since.Also having some1 trustworthy such as M.Parkinson, not a comedian or entertainer as such added to the authenticity. The genuine phone-in number (I recall it also being used for Sarah Greene's other show 'Going Live') + Parky insinuating that subsequent programmes would be suspended, all adds to the credibility.
I cant believe i have now found this video. I was just thinking about it the other day. I was 10 when i first watched this and was terrified when i went to bed. I thought it was real until now. I have just wasted an hour watching this and what a lot of rubbish. How crap is the mother, her daughters and the woman in the studio at acting. I thought coronation street was bad but this takes the biscuit, No wonder it was banned
I got caught hook line and sinker by this back in 1992 and even though I know this is all total hoax it still makes the hairs stand up on the back of my neck! Yes, the acting is hammy at times but Parky is great at keeping it going.
Now shit starts happening. Man, those noises and that creepy voice is f'ing scary! And awesome! Those noises reminded me of Silent Hill. This show was pure genius.
*random moment* is it me, or does Sarah look an awful lot like Alice from Shadow Hearts. hair color and style, even that bow. From England too.....hmm, makes me wonder....
I think that was to mess a few people up as during the early to mid 90s everyone was into this stuff! The X Files came out just a few months after this show in '93' I remember watching quite a few programs about houses with "paranormal activity" it just seems silly now!
the main reasn this caused a stir was that sarah greene was also a kids tv presenter at the time and advertised it on her show adding to the reality tv feel
Just curious- on 50 seconds, Parkinson mentions that the next programme has been cancelled. I just wonder what that "programme" was? Given that Ghostwatch is a drama, they must have known exactly how long it would last. So, I guess, they put a phoney programme in the TV guides?
Must have been funny if people DID tune in for this programme!
Either that, or Ghostwatch was scheduled correctly, and there WAS no other programme in the TV guide. IE its fake talk about another programme.
that double-take with the curtains at 3:50ish shat me up so much 20 years ago! I was 9 though, to be fair.

No program was canceled. It was a clever throw away line put into the program.
It ran it's entire run time. Amusingly, it was listed as Drama in the Radio Times.
Also, I just knocked a cup of my desk and nearly jumped out the house! :-)
