What was the name of this Ghost programme.

[Dizzy Lizzy]

Hi,

This was a ghost programme that I remember seeing in either the late 80s or early 90s. I think that it was a one-off programme, (maybe shown at halloween) and it was hosted by Michael Aspel.

It was filmed in an old country house, where one room was supposed to be haunted by an old lady. When the clock on the mantlepiece would strike midnight, she was supposed to come in to the room. Because the programme was being shown live in the evening, they put the clock forward to see if this would make anything happen. It started to strike 12, but you didn't see anything. It was only when they then showed you the footage that they had just filmed, that you saw a ghost like figure of a lady wearing old fashioned clothes and carrying a candle enter the room.

This programme scared the life out of me and I has nightmares for years.

If anyone can help me remember the name of this programme, I would be really grateful, as I have asked loads of other people, but nobody remembers it!

Thanks a lot,

Dizzy Lizzy

Hi,

I don't think that the programme that I am thinking of is Ghost watch, as that was set in a more modern house and was to do with poltergeist activity and involved two young girls. Thanks anyway though for your help.

Was it 'Strange But True' Lizzy? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDWQ-...eature=related

Re: What was the name of this Ghost programme - nobody seems to know!

Hi,

No, it wasn't Strange But True. I think that it was just a one-off special. I still occasionaly watch Strange But True on what I think is the Paranormal channel. IMO, it's the only thing worth watching on that channel. I don't care for any of their other programmes. I can't stand Yvette Fielding and those so Most Haunted programmes that she fakes/makes, (you decide).

Thanks any way for your help.

I'm now starting to wonder whether I imagined this programme as nobody else seems to remember it!

Micheal Aspel did a series called Strange but True, maybe it was one of those?

Hi again Heather,

Someone already suggested Strange But True, but it wasn't that show. I think that it was a one off show and I don't think that Michael Aspel had started the series Strange But True when I saw the programme.

I hope someone will be able to answer this question, as it is driving me crazy!
