Is There a Ghost in this Image? 1

Dr. Ciarán O’Keeffe is well-known in the United Kingdom – at least, to the paranormal-inclined – as a result of his appearances on Living TV’s paranormal television series Most Haunted, and also on account of his criticism of that show for misleading viewers using “showmanship and dramatics”. The problems he came across while working on TV features about the paranormal led O’Keeffe to set up his own team, with whom he is filming investigations under the name Ghostlands.

On Halloween the Ghostlands team posted their first outing on YouTube, an investigation into a supposedly haunted World War II bunker on the Channel Islands. The 20 minute mini-documentary shows the setting up, possible manifestations of EVP, and finishes with a ghostly shadow fleeing the researchers’ cameras (screen capture at the beginning of this post). Those that enjoy ghost-hunting shows should find plenty to enjoy in Ghostlands, especially if you’re sitting home alone on a dark and stormy night…

This is a brief insight into a paranormal investigation conducted over a number of days where I had control and was not bound by the rules and expectations of television. Where I could choose a location that had never been shown before, one I wanted to investigate, one that I thought you would find as fascinating as I have and with a team I had chosen. But most of all, I wanted to present you with the evidence, to “let the evidence speak”.

But this will also be about you. You are ghost enthusiasts, investigators, paranormal fans, cynics, sceptics and believers and those who simply want to find out if the “truth is out there”. So get involved by contributing with your comments. It’s about recognising that this show is organic and can develop if there are the means available. So say what can be done differently, what can be done better, what you are expecting, what you don’t like, but more importantly what you do like, what you’ve learned, but also…did you notice anything I didn’t see?
