Ghostwatch: The Night That Terrified Britain (2026)

In 1992, the BBC aired a brilliantly deceptive television program that convinced over eleven million viewers to believe in real ghosts. Hosted by broadcasting icon Michael Parkinson alongside co-presenter Sarah Greene, the series masqueraded as a legitimate paranormal investigation centered on an ordinary household located in Northolt, northwest London. What audiences assumed was a serious exploration of the supernatural was actually a masterfully executed satirical experiment, forever securing its legacy as one of broadcast history’s most iconic media hoaxes.
