Product Description
What do ghosts sound like? What do they look like? What do mediums see? What exactly is an orb? How can you develop your own psychic abilities? This companion book to the smash-hit series Most Haunted will answer all the questions you've ever wanted to ask about the paranormal. Based on indepth interviews with presenters Yvette Fielding and Derek Acorah, and with their intrepid TV crew, it provides a behind-the-scenes insight into the ghoulish goings-on in haunted locations around the country. Find out what really happened at Owlpen Manor, Brannigan's Nightclub and the Drury Lane Theatre. Did the antique baby's crib really start rocking back and forth of its own accord in Athelhampton Hall? Who, or what, punched Stuart in the stomach at the Ancient Ram Inn? And how did Derek feel when he was possessed by the spirit of the evil Mr. Godfrey Parks? Most Haunted will fascinate and intrigue both sceptics and believers alike.

 Love Ghosts? Watch T.V.? Read this, it's great! August 19, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
This great book by Yevette Fielding and Medium Derek Acorah takes you behind the scenes of one of the most popular T.V. programs in the world today on paranormal phenomea and ghosts. I strongly feel it is the very best show of it's type and sets the standard for exploring the world of ghosts and hautinngs. The book tells in great detail of some of the more interesting invetigations the crew has been on, and additionally, the book goes further and clearly explains the meaning of many paranormal terms; the questions you have always wondered about and until now, never got an answer to. I highly reccommend this book for everyone.

 Pretty good, but not perfect... January 6, 2006
I have become a big fan of LivingTV's show "Most Haunted", so when I saw this book on the shelves at a bookstore in the UK, I picked it up without hesitation. After all, it promised to give you a behind-the-scenes look at the series as well as tips to discover your own medium inside yourself!
For the most part, I did find the book interesting. However, I felt that there were a few things that took away from the experience. First of all, I'm one of those people who don't like endings spoiled, and in this book there were a lot of re-caps about specific events that occurred on specific locations (a passage about Derek being possessed by someone evil at location X for example). So you might want to skip certain sections if that bothers you.
Second, some of the 'behind-the-scenes' interviews and such that the book highlighted were actually just transcripts of what the people had said on the diary camera when the show aired.
Third, I found the section on discovering how to become a medium a bit disappointing, although I guess I don't know what I was really expecting from one chapter. Basically, it just said if you hear voices in your head, listen to them, or try and visualize what might be behind a door before you open it. Not exactly earth shattering stuff.
I probably sounds like I'm complaining, but overall I did enjoy the book. I think that the word 'companion' to the TV series is accurate, is it can be fun to read over the crew's descriptions of what happened during your favorite episodes and some of the information is new and interesting. I think it's still worth a read if you're a fan of the series, but just don't expect it to move mountains.
A Must-Have for Most Haunted Aficionados September 8, 2005

Fans of Living TV's Most Haunted will enjoy this book immensely. An engaging companion work, it provides that extra "fix" of detail we all crave following an episode of this amazing British paranormal investigation documentary series (now seen in the States on the Travel Channel).
This work is not a scholarly treatment, but an informal and familiar behind-the-scenes look at the filming of all the spooky and ghoulish goings on at the Most Haunted locations. In which episode did make up artist Cath pee her pants in fear? What crystals did David provide all crew members for grounding? What terrifying events happened to Richard at Craig Y Nos before the filming even started? Just what do the shows mediums see in their minds eyes? All of these and more are answered in Most Haunted Behind the Scenes Guide. Those interested in a more academic treatment of the locations can eagerly anticipate the imminent release of Richard Felix's series of books in the fall of 2005.
Sit back, enjoy, and "Sleep Tight"!
