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.

At first I thought it was boring and slow, but did things ever ramp up in the last 15 minutes!
I heard about it for years and finally got to see what the hype was all about. And it is worth the hype, in my opinion.
i cant wait to ghostwatch this movie you know what im saying
I was pleasantly surprised! I'm not really into ghost horror, so it's very difficult for me to be 100% invested, because the whole premise it's not very "real" as opposed to a killer and they usually don't have the visual of a grotesque monster, BUT THIS WAS GREAT. The ending is amazing, as well as the build-up. Also, releasing this as a live special but not telling anyone? Extra points for mischievousness.
Cool movie. Even better if you look into the story about its original airing.
