Ghostwatch
Directed by Lesley Manning
A TV reporter investigates a haunted house in this classic British “documentary”, which was originally broadcast in the UK on Halloween in 1992. As experts in the BBC studio discuss supernatural phenomena, reporter Sarah Greene waits patiently for proof of a poltergeist named Pipes, whose bad behavior grows bolder throughout the evening. GHOSTWATCH freaked out gullible viewers across the UK (no warning indicated the special was scripted), leading to controversy, lawsuits and a devoted cult following who continue to search the doc for hidden glimpses of the ghoul.

Delightful
An actual, literal masterpiece in found footage. There is little better to elevate a film (or tv special) than to not reveal it as fiction beforehand. The War of the Worlds effect.
Sarah could get it. And by "it," haha, well. Let's justr say. My peanits.
Loved it! I can't believe they aired this live and didn't tell anyone it was real!! 😆
Fun experiment in form.
