Famous Ghost Hunting

Hey, has anyone caught ‘Dead Famous’ on Living TV?

I am mightily impressed with this ghost hunting show. The title virtually tells you what this show is all about.

A highly skeptical Scottish lass, Gail Porter, and American ‘sensitive’ Chris Fleming set out each week to attempt communication with the spirits of the famous folk who have passed over e.g.; John Wayne; Houdini; Lucille Ball; Charlie Chaplin; John Lennon; Buddy Holly, Marilyn Monroe, James Dean etc.

What I like about this programme is that not only are Gail & Chris a great double act, they appear to take their task very seriously.

And when someone guests on the show who they suspect is faking their psychic powers - as was the case of a guy who was seemingly possessed by the spirit of John Lennon and attempted to speak, (badly), in Lennon’s distinctive Liverpudlian voice - they are quite happy to expose them as fakes.

There are some seriously spooky moments too, but not on every show, which is as it should be. Chris is pretty impressive, (at least to me he is), with his ‘sensitive psychic’ powers and Gail, though at times scared witless, really comes across as a true sceptic, difficult to convince and offering logical and thoughtful explanations regarding ghostly occurrences.

They also use cool gadgets including a digital audio recorder to capture EVP’s (electronic voice phenomena), supposedly the voices of the dead. Also, at times, pretty impressive.

Check it out. If you’re into ‘Most Haunted’ or ghost hunting type shows, I think you’ll really enjoy the quite unusual....
