About this Event
BANNED FOR OVER A DECADE, GHOSTWATCH received up to 1,000,000 complaints after it aired on Halloween 1992, and has never been screened since. If you saw it, YOU KNOW!
Hosted by iconic, and highly respected Michael Parkinson, alongside Mike Smith with Sarah Greene and legendary Craig Charles out on location, viewers witnessed what they believed to be a live broadcast investigating supernatural activity in the West London home of Pamela Early and her young daughters Suzanne and Kim. Viewers could call in reporting ghostly activity while crews investigated the house.
Tormented by 'pipes' a poltergeist names after the consistent knocking from within the family's heating system, the TV crews go in to try to gather solid proof of any paranormal occurrence. The family claim Kim is regularly possessed by Pipes, who takes control of her body and behaviour, causing serious harm to her body, her family and their home.
What unfolded was a one-off opportunity in TV history for audiences to truly believe they were witnessing other-worldy harm and chaos, live on TV, as it happened.
TONIGHT ONLY, we will replicate that experience, in a space styled and dressed like your 1992 living room, inviting you to witness the unsettling phenomenon that is GHOST WATCH. We will try to keep the lights on, and things running as they should, but who knows what Pipes might have in store (our radiator is currently leaking pretty badly).
TICKETS are limited for our small in-house cinema.
