it was my nans house. was all fake, i rushed home to get a coat so i could be an extra on the street as it was filmed in summer and they needed to make it lok like winter. by the time we got back they had filmed the shot :(
I saw 1 and 5 first time im 14 an my parents bought this on dvd an jus watched it by myself i had no idea it was fake so SPOILER ALERT when Parkinson got posessed i was so scared an im quite brave when it comes to horror films id have loved to be around 20 years ago when it first aired
i lived in that house as a baby as it was my Nan and Grandads house. It was all fake, i watched them film it and met Craig Charles and Sarah green. i was 8 at the time. i was filmed weeks before the night it aired. go on google street view and search 23 bourmead close in northolt, thats the real street name. i live round the corner still ;)
This was the previous generation's Blair Witch Project. Those sorts of things have to be watched at the correct age, too young and you don't really get it, too old and you think "Why am I watching this crap?". That said I was about 8 in 92 and it would have scared the crap out of me then, "luckily" I missed it and they've been too scared to show it again.
Watched this when it was 1st on t.v. It messed wiv my head so much 4 years after. Easily the scariest programe/film i watched growin up. Man they should do another 1.
Oh my God we watched this at school years ago! Don't know why.. think it was to give us inspiration for our ghost stories lol but I slept with the light on for a long time after!
possible 10th sighting near the end when chris the camera man switches the camera from infrared to standard and then there is a explosion and the suspended apples swing once again pipes appears in the reflection of the glass sliding/patio door very blured though
there is a 9th sighting and not refering to the behind the scenes vid
u know when the mirror in the hallway shakes and parky said "it looks like an earthquake" you do get a fine frame shot of pipes in the reflection of the mirror
i think half the fright came from the subtle eerie mood music! it gets to you without you knowing it! i saw this when it aired too as a kid, i taped it and thought it was brilliant! but my grandma wouldnt let me keep it!
the scariest is in the crowd cos he's fully formed not an apparition and he looks like a crash test dummie in that like almost like he has no nose eyes or ears which is what i thought when i first saw him maybe that is the case as the pic at the end could just be early drafts of the finished make up effect of pipes but either way pipes is now at the top of my list of most scary fictional entities beating the blair witch and the demon from paranormal activity
I watched this when BBC1 first broadcast it on Halloween night, I must admit I wasn't convinced at all.It was obviously faked imo.I actually preferred watching the Halloween horror movie all-nighter on BBC2 following it
it was brilliant, i was a wee lad at the time and was shitting myself, had to run down stairs and watch it with my mum and dad hahaa. Gr8 to see its on youtube now, memories,
Sadly, I read a preview of this in a magazine at the time which spoilt the "real or hoax?" angle for me. That said it was worth going to a pub and seeing two fully grown men watching it on TV and on the point of tears, terrified! A pity someone killed himself after watching it and the BBC lost the bottle to try and do things like this again
A kid with learning difficulties killed himself a couple of days after this aired, he thought he could hear his pipes banging when it was just the heating.
I wasn't alive wen it aired but my mum told me about it.
my mum was telling me how scared she was when she saw it on telly so you told me toi get it up on youtube,i will admit its rather creepy, but its obv fake, v.good though
its just a really creepy movie...even when you know its a movie!! well put together, and great storyline! just a shame some of the acting is awful lol!! but great movie - creeped me out and i have nerves of steel lol!!
@ryanbickham I slept in my parents bed for about a fortnight afterwards! The BBC received so many complaints & some actually DID have heart attacks! ;/
I think that's good effects for the day, still creeps me out a long time after! I think Number 5 is the best done, while the camera is panning, and then immediately shoots back and theres's nothing, that is great camera work and effects. Cheers!
Me and my brother watch this on the Halloween night in 1992 aged 11 & 9 and it scared us half to death, I just randomly come across this and called my brother and as soon as I said Ghostwatch he replied "pipes". Its left a lasting memory for the both of us lol
omg i remember watching this with my family on that halloween in 1992 and it scared the shit out of me. the worst bit was when the door under the stairs opened and you saw a small part of 'pipes' lol i had to sleep in my mum & dads bed that night lol sad! watching it now 18 years later, why the hell did i get scared by THIS???
when i was about 8, my big sister made me watch it with her in the dark, and as i truley thought everything was genuine, was terrified for years!! lol
i lived in that house as a kid and was there when they filmed it months before it was aired. completely fake. the kids room was my grandparents bedroom! craig charles was funny!
Genius editing! This scared the living crap out of me at the time! MUCH better than anything "Most Haunted" ever pretended to find! Thanks for posting x
haha yea i remember watching this as a kid with my granparents..they missed the intro bit and thought the whole thing was real..the bit where hes behind the door fkin scared the shit outa me bigtime when i was young..i wouldnt sleep alone for ages..lol
A fabulous job by the BBC, really excellent. For everyone's information - people were informed it was a drama before it aired, but some people missed the intro, causing a bit of an uproar as you can imagine! A joy to watch, though, very nicely done. Thanks for the collection!
when it was on tv i only remember the one where he is near the curtain. it shit me up!!!!!!!!!!! i couldnt remember craig charles being in it tho! he was seeing a lot of pipes and i dont mean the ghost :)
same!! i was wondering for years what the hell i had seen on tv when i was a child that left a memory in my head for so long! although i thought the image that i had seen was the man 'behind' the curtain not in front of it! Maybe i seen a different show but i am sure it was this tv programme. All i knew was it was on halloween in the early 90s so this has to have been it! British show, halloween night, appearing like a documentary and a bedroom scene with a figure behind the curtain.. i googled
the second one would have me crapping my pants if I watched it right in front of the telly. It's like as if it's a reflection of him behind the you. That one was well played. :D
Rewatched this on Halloween night. I saw the original when I was young. I remember seeing the mother in a play a few weeks before the broadcast so kind of ruined it. Still scared me though and even watching it as a 38 year old guy, I gave me the creeps. If the acting were better it would have been amazing! One thing both my friend and I kept laughing at, and has not been mentioned here, is that the cupboard under the stairs was called a GLORY HOLE!! Means something totally different now!!
Get it on DVD. The bite back video on youtube also has a bit of a debate about the film. No way could they make someting like this these days. Proper freaky shit.
i dunno how i managed to watch all of this when it was on, i must've been 6 or 7 at the time.. and the one thing that i still remember perfectly is the girls voice when pipes possessed her.. that creeped me out for ages just thinking about it....
impressive that it got a 10year ban and is likely to never be aired on TV again...
It was a fake. 5 idiots seem to have thumbed down your comment instead of explaining that this was a fake designed as entertainment, but it seemed so real people had PTSD after watching it... Hope that explained it.
I just watched this for the first time, what an incredible piece of television. The sad thing is, this would never be allowed today, there'd be too much controversy.
When I was a kid, I didn't speak for 2 days after watching this program, my Dad made me drink holy water and everything. I look back now and laugh, naughty BBC!
This program scared me when i was a kid. I remember one guy actually comitted suicide cause he also had noises in his central heating at home and said the film had cursed his house.
imagine how it wouldve been if they went with the original ending... apparently pipes was supposed to use the broadcast signal to "possess" every tv watching it
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i dont understand why so much people put fake crap on here i hate ignorant people i want to see the real thing now and days to many people are make fun of it and its just a hoax
@tommyboi9 No, your wrong. It isnt a hoax or a mockumentary. Its a drama. It was in no was suppose to trick the audiance. Thats why in the beginning they put opening credits, with even 'Written By' in them.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i still think this is so fake though what happened to me was real i wasnt investigating at the time but got interested just cause alot of my friends died and i seen some weird crap but now i have proof of the paranormal wouldnt put it on youtube maybe when i get my evidence notarized
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i think its fake im a paranormal investigator but when i saw the one with the little girls sleeping in the bed and all of a sudden a shit starts flying around and the girls start screaming and they get up and run out and the lamp light bulb explodes that was the only reason i thought i was real cause i seen a light sealing light bulb blew up when my ex switched on the light but it was a switch on the wall it was crazy as soon as she turned it on it blew
it was a halloween drama in 1992 but was took off a real story of a polterguist in enfield in the uk look it up on you tube for the enfield polterguist in 1977
I remember this I was 11 yrs old at the time and I was do scared!!! Toward the end I turned the tv off and didn't dare put it back on!! And then the next day found out it was a hoax!!!
even though i knew it was a spoof, i managed to convince myself it was real. When i saw him in the curtains, i nearly called the show. It really shit me up!
I'm actually scared to so much as start the video! LMAO! My mum told me she was scared of this when she was younger, so I think I might leave this page now :P
I remember watching this last year in English my teacher said its not scary and we was all scared by it...totally thought it was real...really freaked me out lol
I was 19, on my own babysitting. I was so scared I sat through it all, scared to move . I plucked up the courage to find the remote and accidentally turned the TV OFF instead of over! The room went pitch black and THEN I could hear someone saying my name. turned out to be a mate calling up to the window! It's the scariest thing I've seen (especially the part where the girl appeared from behind the sofa covered in scratches) I've got the willies now!
In sighting 3, look between the woman with blonde hair and the woman with the blue jacket. You are looking for a pale-faced man with a black (injured) eye.
Once you have seen him, you will be able to recognise him reflected in the window in no. 4. (His face is just beneath and to the right of the light in the ceiling.)
Hope this helps you to enjoy one of the best horror filme ever made!
i watched this "live" when i was a kid. It was the scariest thing i'd ever seen. I recently rented it and watched it again, the effects are a bit dated now, but still very very unsettling to watch, especially given when it aired, so many people thought it was real, including a ten year old me!
Oh man. I remember when this was on - I didn't watch it, because I assumed it was going to be a boring panel discussion programme. I'm almost glad I missed it, I would have been terrified.

@tommyboi9 No, your wrong. It isnt a hoax or a mockumentary. Its a drama. It was in no was suppose to trick the audiance. Thats why in the beginning they put opening credits, with even 'Written By' in them.

@CADAVERHUSK and because he was supposed to bang on the heating and water pipes at night, so the kids nicknamed him pipes.

I was 19, on my own babysitting. I was so scared I sat through it all, scared to move . I plucked up the courage to find the remote and accidentally turned the TV OFF instead of over! The room went pitch black and THEN I could hear someone saying my name. turned out to be a mate calling up to the window! It's the scariest thing I've seen (especially the part where the girl appeared from behind the sofa covered in scratches) I've got the willies now!

I love that you have this story to tell. It means the BBC did something kind of special for a night.
It left an imprint. It's a shame when I first saw it I'd been told it was a hoax.

Couldnt see him on sighting 3+4. But sighting 2 was REALLY SCARY
(5 Stars)
GhostwatchFan 2 years ago
In sighting 3, look between the woman with blonde hair and the woman with the blue jacket. You are looking for a pale-faced man with a black (injured) eye.
Once you have seen him, you will be able to recognise him reflected in the window in no. 4. (His face is just beneath and to the right of the light in the ceiling.)
Hope this helps you to enjoy one of the best horror filme ever made!

i watched this "live" when i was a kid. It was the scariest thing i'd ever seen. I recently rented it and watched it again, the effects are a bit dated now, but still very very unsettling to watch, especially given when it aired, so many people thought it was real, including a ten year old me!

Oh man. I remember when this was on - I didn't watch it, because I assumed it was going to be a boring panel discussion programme. I'm almost glad I missed it, I would have been terrified.
