Reply to comment by Aleon-Dakota in TIL the BBC ran a paranormal investigation show called Ghostwatch on Halloween in 1992. The fictional program was filmed to appear as real as possible, using a BBC broadcaster as the host. It only aired once due to the uproar of a frightened public. by kevlarbuns

It was an 18 year old with a learning disability and mental age of 13. The central heating pipes in his parents house would knock due to air in the system. You have to question why his parents thought it was suitable for him to watch if he was that impressionable and unable to separate fact from fiction, despite there being many, many clues that suggested it was staged.

It scared the crap out of me, but I was 9 years old. Deep down I understood it wasn't real though.
