SPOOKY TRUTH: TV'S MOST HAUNTED CON EXPOSED TV
By Matt Roper
THE TV show that has spooked millions with its footage of hauntings
and poltergeists is
today exposed as a fake - by one its own stars.


Resident parapsychologist Dr Ciaran O'Keeffe has sensationally lifted
the lid on the
ghosthunting series, Most Haunted ... and claims that the public are
being deceived by
"showmanship and dramatics."


He accuses the show's medium Derek Acorah of hoodwinking viewers by
pretending to
communicate with spirits and obtaining information about locations
prior to filming.


The Mirror has also obtained unedited footage which appears to show
presenter Yvette
Fielding and her husband faking 'paranormal' occurrences such as
ghostly bumps and
knocks.


Most Haunted has quickly achieved cult status since it was launched in
2002 and is
LivingTV's most successful programme.


Millions of viewers tune in regularly to watch Ex-Blue Peter girl
Yvette and her team of
ghost hunters spend the night in some of Britain's most haunted
locations.


It has made Acorah - who claims to be guided by an Ethiopian spirit
guide called Sam -
into one of the country's best-known psychics.


Tonight the show will start its biggest ever live vigil, a four-night
Halloween special from
East London following the murderous trail of Jack the Ripper.


Yvette Fielding has said of the show - which is made by her husband
Karl Beattie's
production company Antix Productions: "There is no acting in this
programme, none
whatsoever. Everything you see and you hear is real. It's not made up,
it's not acted."


But our investigation reveals how the programme uses careful editing
to mislead viewers
and, on at least one occasion, has even lied about the location of
filming.


Ciaran, a lecturer in the paranormal at Liverpool's Hope University,
knows speaking out
will probably put an end to his media career... but he believes
viewers should know the
truth.


He says: "I think it's time to open the dialogue about what I've
experienced on Most
Haunted. There have been many incidents with the medium that have been
brushed under
the carpet.


"I was put in the show to give a professional slant to it, to give it
an element of credibility,
but the sceptical argument is just swept away.


"In my opinion, we're not dealing with genuine mediumship."


He says he isn't the only member of the crew who feels viewers are
being cheated.


"Other crew members have been irked by Derek and what's going on,
because it turns
what should be a serious investigation into a laughing matter."


And our exclusive footage shows other members of the team occasionally
forget they are
on camera.


One of our clips, later edited out, shows Karl push an unwitting sound
man in the dark and
pretend it was a poltergeist attack.


In the remaining footage he says (after surreptitiously hitting the
soundman): "S**t, did
you feel that?"


Yvette: Are you all right? What's happened?


Karl: I felt something touch me on my shoulder.


Soundman: I felt something hit me.


And in another edited clip with medium Ian Lawman, Yvette is seen on
camera making a
deep sigh. In the scene that eventually went to air, Ian (after Yvette
sighs) says: "What's
that noise?


Yvette: What noise? Like a moan?


Ian: Breathing or something.


Yvette: I heard like an 'arrggh'.


Ciaran, who joined Most Haunted in April 2004 became suspicious of
Acorah's antics on a
shoot at Castle Leslie, Co Monaghan in Ireland where a 17th Century
four-poster bed has
been claimed to levitate.


Ciaran recalls: "As we walked into the bedroom, Derek touched the bed
and came out with
extremely accurate information.


"He insisted he got all the information just from touching the bed.
But it was the wrong
bed."


Antix Productions claims the mediums have no idea where they will be
filming or know any
details about the history of the locations.


But Ciaran says: "Derek must have had prior knowledge of the
locations."


He devised a plan to see if Derek was deliberately deceiving the
public.


While on a shoot at Bodmin gaol he invented a long-dead South African
jailer called Kreed
Kafer - an anagram of Derek Faker.


"I wrote the name down and asked another member of the crew to mention
it to Derek
before filming.


"I honestly didn't think Derek would take the bait. But during the
filming he actually got
possessed by my fictional character!"


On the next shoot at Prideaux Place, Cornwall, Ciaran made up another
fictional character,
highwayman Rik Eedles - an anagram of Derek Lies. Sure enough, Derek
made contact
with the dead outlaw.


Ciaran says: "In my professional opinion we're not dealing with a
genuine medium.


"When Derek is possessed he is doing it consciously - all we are
seeing is showmanship
and dramatics."


Ciaran went a step further at Craigievar Castle, near Aberdeen.


"I made up stories about Richard the Lionheart, a witch, and Richard's
apparition
appearing to walk through a wardrobe - the lion, the witch and the
wardrobe!" True to
form, Derek mentioned all Ciaran's stories - even though Richard I
reigned 500 years
BEFORE Craigievar Castle was built.


The final straw came last month when Most Haunted presented a
three-night special from
Manchester.


On the second evening, the show claimed to be broadcasting live from
the site of
Cheadle's Victorian asylum, a place where - according to presenter
David Bull - thousands
died in torment. In fact they were in the derelict remains of Barnes
Convalescence Home -
where nobody died in torment.


Ciaran remembers: "Derek was communicating with spirits that sounded
as if they'd been
in an asylum, but it was never an asylum."


Yesterday the Mirror confronted Derek Acorah with Ciaran's
allegations. He told us: "I've
worked with Ciaran for many shows and he's got every right to say what
he says.


"However, it does shock and surprise me. Not only do I believe that I
am a genuine
medium - I live my work 24 hours a day. If I thought that I wasn't a
true medium, I
wouldn't work as one."


A spokesman for LivingTV said: "Ciaran O'Keeffe has worked as the
programme's official
sceptic for 18 months and during this time has not brought any of his
concerns to our
attention.


"LivingTV has not seen any of your filmed evidence, but will fully
investigate your claims."
