Well here we go again, batten down the hatches for another 7 nights of Most Haunted Live .We are being promised a show that over 6 nights will conjure up 6 types of ghosts ending, on the 7th night with the ultimate entity (mmm I wonder who THAT could be?). I shall as usual be making my beguiled comments on the individual nightly events. Will they finally find the 'Evil' they have been searching for for soooooooooo long? Will Brain Shepard actually come up with something concrete? Will Torvell and Beattie perform a rendition of Spooky accompanied by the ever lovely Screaming Banshees (now there's and idea)? Who knows? I really Hope Billy's back on the books again.
NIGHT 1 -IN SEARCH OF THE POLTERGEIST - St George's Hall, Liverpool
The first of the 7 nights in search of 7 types of ghost, tonight's was in search of the Poltergeist.
Good to see Billy was back on board as the visiting medium and was finally given a lengthy part towards the end of the show, in fact hes really taking the shine of Brian's credibility (if he has any). Brian did not come up with anything tangible, Mr Ross was having to feed him lines at the end of the show. Billy came up with a lot of information, most which can be found easily on the net. Never the less hes far better than Brian.
OK Ive had me winging session now, so back to the nights events. I was very happy to see the inclusion of more scientific experiments which Keriann took the helm off. The PK experiment was very interesting and we shall see how this evolves over the next 6 nights. I did like his explanation of the power of suggestion too, nice one. We will know doubt find out the results of the pendulum experiment tonight.
All in all I thought a very quiet night, a few things being thrown but I am sure very disappointing to the crew. Will be interesting to see what happened after the show finished!!!!
NIGHT 2 -IN SEARCH OF APPARITIONS - The Empire Theatre, Liverpool
A most entertaining evening. From the off KO picked up something strange on the thermal imaging camera, and Billy at last was included in the whole evenings investigation.
The main point of the show was set in a reconstructed Victorian seance, on the main stage in the auditorium. A series of cameras were arranged in a semi circle in front of the table, KO would then take still photos sequentially on EF command. I was quit impressed with this set up, the only thing was that you never saw a distance shot off everyone in the stage ie from one of the remote cameras, so we had to take their word for it that there was know one else with them.
Audibles inthe form of whispers, whistles, sighs and actual words were heard. As KO commented, theatres are built to amplify sound from the stage area, so some of these sounds could have emanated naturally from the building.
The Snug Bar - again the audibles heard here was 'yes' the crew felt very uneasy.
Billy came up with the names Georgy Wood, William Fish (who murdered the young girl called Emily) he also came up Henry Walls who was also a murderer , so which one actually killed The little girl????? bit confusing. He said that Spirit have no voice box's so cant speak easily, EF commented 'well how Can they say the word YES then' good comment, he replied that 'they can' so very confusing there Billy. So can they, or are cant they speak and how and what with???.
Brian put in his usually hammed up performance (apologies I am a little biased here), suggesting that the crew are being stalked and that 'He will kill again' who??? Henry of course. So that planted a bit if the old fear factor in peoples minds.
Poor Kath was summonsed by EF to be strapped in the 'execution' chair (as i would like to call it). And didn't she do well.
Carl was the next victim in the chair and he commented on not being able to breath very well and passed out for a couple o minutes. He also felt as if there was something around his throat and as if something was being held over his face, temporally. Again this could all be psychosomatic due to the suggestions made through the evening.
Once very interesting thing that happened under the stage in the corridor is that all the lights came on...when Stuart said they had been shut off at the main control switch. SPOOKY.
Once funny incident that crops up frequently is when MS Fielding gets left on her own. This time it was Carl doing the dirty work. Carl and EF were in the balcony together she threw a wobbler when Carl walked off and lefter her for a few minutes. Well Ms Fielding 'if you can stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen' LOL.
I enjoyed the evenings events, it was good entertainment (as always) but its refreshing to see them taking an interest in techniques used in a certain time frame ie the Victorian seance, and the Tessler machine used at Denbigh. The audibles were very convincing but we never got a birds eye view of all those present so we have to trust that they are not setting these things up... which is hard to do.
NIGHT 3 -IN SEARCH OF LOST SOULS - Stanley Docks Warehouse, Liverpool
What a hilarious eve we had. The only 'devil' to be found was in master Beattie, the look on his poor forlorn wife when he announced that he had set up a secret experiment was just gold. I was rubbing my hands with anticipation to find out what this naughty boy had schemed up. Brian was placed firmly back into the medium seat and I shamelessly add failed yet again at coming up with anything worth listening too at all.
So last night they were in search of those poor bedevilled souls who are entrapped between this world and the next, not knowing they are dead, locked between 2 worlds. Were given the impression that there were dark entities slithering around in the dirt and Meir of the basement.
Interestingly this was the first vigil/location that KO had gone into cold.
Most of the vigil was centred in the basement of the old warehouse which had been used as a morgue in the 2nd WW (well I'm assuming it was the 2nd as they didn't tell us) and lots of body snatching, this shot up the warning signals, "mmm (I thought) what do they usually do when they are in a morgue!!!!"
Lots of hamming up from Brian and suggestion to fester the fear factor for Ms fielding (it never fails does it) especially when the seance spelled out 'KILL ME' well i near lost the will to live. THEN came Pièce de résistance when Carl announced his secret experiment. Well I was jumping for joy.
CARL'S BRILLIANT SENSORY DEPRIVATION EXPERIMENT:
He gave out numbered cards face down on the seance table, and asked the 'spirit' to choose one for each member. The last one left was for KO.
He then asked them all to follow him to the morgue area (o'er), where there was a coffin for each member (laid out in a circle). Each had a camera in the top and their corresponding number. Once they managed to get Ms fielding into the coffin, the lids were NAILED shut, yeeha how good was that. The Tessler generator was back and quickly swtitched on heighten the fear.
This was a great experiment spoilt yet again my Ms Fielding throwing her dummy down, everyone else got into the spirit (excuse the pun) of the experiment, but not Yvette. Shes very quick to dish the dirt out but does not like it when she has do it.
Stuarts lid was lifted up and down and you could hear knocks and scratches on the coffin lids. The only problem was we needed a wider angled view, someone could have easily been making the noises and those in the coffins could easily have misinterpreted them as coming from their coffins. In a situation like this your mind will play unmercifull tricks on you. I am interested in what KO thinks about this experiment tonight and would like to see it done again as a controlled experiment but with KO in charge.
The most horrible occurrence of the night was (in my opinion) Yvette spitefully asking the spirits to do things to Julian, you cold clearly hear it in her voice 'Go on, go on DO something to Julian', who was chosen (sorry) ordered, by Yvette to join them and go in the coffin..... may I add... ALONE (OK i don't mean IN the coffin alone). Give the man a gold star, I thought he did extremely well indeed. Especially when they did a seance on top of his coffin... nice one, I liked that.
NIGHT 4-IN SEARCH OF VOICES FROM THE DEAD-
Central Library, Liverpool
This was a very difficult location for the crew and team to investigate due to the ecoustics of the main dome area. We all know Ms Fielding loves the sound of her own voice but this was amplified by the echo reverb within the domb.
Lots of tapping and breaths accompanied by the whistling too.
An excellent Radio Frequency experiment re-created faithfully by KO with 3 telephone extensions and a reel to reel (now that takes me back) tape recorder. EF was tryinet to telephone the dead, unfortunately know knowone was home!!!!
When the team relocated to the stacks. Book titles were chosen for the spirit to push them off the shelves, which happend very quickly indeed, the first 2 were as requested, but the remaing 3 were random, so our spirt did not want to play ball.
Not much else happend that I thought would be of interest to any reader. Apparently things kick off back at St George's Hall (but I had fallen asleep by then) when apparently 'something' followed the team back Shapes, faces, disembodied figures were are reported by teh audience and crew. KO commented that statistically 1 out 10 people int the audience saw something... shame a I fell alseep the.
