The BBC aired Ghostwatch on Halloween night in 1992. The production team put the film together as if it were one of the station’s popular live broadcast documentaries. To make this all the more believable for viewers at home, Ghostwatch starred Michael Parkinson, Mike Smith, Craig Charles, and Sarah Green – all well-known BBC presenters – to lead the paranormal investigation.
Ghostwatch centered around the four hosts investigating a haunting of two young English girls, Kim and Suzanne Early, by a ghost called Pipes. Pipes was the ghost of a deceased child molester. Throughout the film, furniture moves on its own, and the children are shown with scratch marks.
