Derek Acorah's Ghost Towns (2005)
Ghostly viewing
Without a doubt, Derek Acorah's Ghost Towns has brought the ghoulish tales back to the people. Investigating the everyday places of local people, Derek attempts to put names to the shadowy figures, the women in white and the lurking spirits reported by those who see them all the time.
Aided by Daniella Westbrook and (might I say) the gorgeous Angus Purden, Derek and the team travel round in a shiny truck hunting for ghosts. With one series and a live show behind them, the show is now into its second series and has already become cult viewing for many, including this avid viewer.
Channeling spirits, holding séances and knocking on strangers doors for a late night "Doorstep Divination" are all in a days, or should that be nights, work for Mr Acorah. Although many may criticise Derek's credibility and the comparisons between this show and Most Haunted, this show makes for a great hours worth of television.
Whether you be a sceptic or believer, Derek Acorah's Ghost Towns has everything for everyone. Whether you take it for face value or for entertainment, I see no reason why this show wont see an impressive run and let us see where it will lead. Will they prove the existence of ghosts? Only time will tell.
