Most Haunted: The official behind-the-scenes guide

Product Information

Series 15 started on 12 May 2010, with an investigation into Berkeley Castle and continue to show every Wednesday on Living at 22:00 BST.

Theatre audiences will be shaking in their seats as Yvette and the team present MOST HAUNTED’S ALL-TIME TOP 10 SCARES complete with unseen video footage from Haunted Castles, Manor Houses, Hospitals and Prisons. Most of the photography in Most Haunted focuses on "general views," also known as "GV's," of a location and its surroundings. Even though O'Keeffe exposed Acorah, the paper also claimed that O'Keeffe had exposed the rest of the Most Haunted team. This section outlines changes across the 23 series of Most Haunted, with detailed look at major changes through the programme's original run (series 1-14), broadcast on Living and a brief series overviews and filming location lists if the revival series (15-23), broadcast on Really. Essentially, the latter two are intended to create an even balance between paranormal and scientific explanations for the various phenomena that occur.

Producer and Director Karl Beattie clarified in a Tweet that he considers Midsummer Murders a Most Haunted series and the first series broadcast by Really as Series 16. Most Haunted Extra became a 30-minute programme, broadcast for half an hour after the main show on LivingTV. This was Derek Acorah's last Most Haunted series owing to the controversy he was involved in during its production which cast doubt on his ability to perform his role. Following complaints, the broadcast regulator, Ofcom, ruled that it was an entertainment show, not a legitimate investigation into the paranormal, and "should not be taken seriously".

He shared this role with his colleague Matthew Smith who frequently attended the early Most Haunted Live events. Before the filming, Acorah had been fed misinformation twice about the non-existent ghosts of Kreed Kafer and Rik Eedles by the show parapsychologist Ciarán O'Keeffe.Yvette Fielding and the team investigate ghostly phenomena in Wiltshire's prehistoric monument Avebury Stones and at The Red Lion, a four-hundred-year-old pub that is on the top ten list of most haunted pubs in Britain. Included in the online series was 10-minute discussion featuring Yvette and Glen Hunt, the resident sceptic, on " the elephant in the room" after the investigation at the Wentworth Woodhouse Stable Block as to whether the footage of the 'Wentworth Ghost' was faked. Following a change in the format of Most Haunted before Series 16 began filming, it was decided by the production team to no longer have mediums in the show. The show's presenter, Yvette Fielding, said in an interview that she believes it was a fake possession. This took some of the pressure off Derek Acorah who had been the only medium in the first three series.

Between series 1 and series 15, Most Haunted featured a main presenter, a historian, a psychic medium, and a parapsychologist. So far, these have been Ian Lawman, Ian Shillito, Israeli-born Uri Geller, Rochford's clairvoyant Kevin Wade, American-born Johnnie Fiori, Barrie John, Liverpool native Billy Roberts, and American-born Patrick Mathews. This series featured guest mediums Gordon Smith, Ian Lawman, Ian Shillito of Braintree, Essex and Kevin Wade. The beginning of series 16 was shown online before other episodes for the series were broadcast on television.This series featured three psychic mediums: Johnnie Fiori, Nottingham native Barrie John and Brian Shepherd. Most Haunted USA was an eight-part mini-series that aired on the American Travel Channel from 12 December 2008 to 30 January 2009.

The psychic also claimed that there were spirits of animals in the fort, perhaps from horses who had been involved in its construction and claimed to have encountered the spirit of a pilot named Jeff and other air force men around the fort who had been there during World War I. However, it has since been revived on TV and online, via an official mobile app and YouTube Channel. In the first series, many elaborate shots were set up in an almost "theatrical" style, with illuminated windows and dry ice.
