Horror fans are remembering BBC\u2019s fake investigation film, Ghostwatch, ahead of the anniversary of when it first aired.<\/p>\n

On Halloween night in 1992, the supposedly \u2018live\u2019 investigation into paranormal activity aired on BBC One at 9.25pm.<\/p>\n

The mockumentary special was presented by famed talk show host Michael Parkinson, as well as children\u2019s TV star Sarah Greene and broadcaster Mike Smith.<\/p>\n

Ghostwatch followed the fictionalised Early clan, who lived in Northolt, north-west London, and documented the eerie goings on at their family home.<\/p>\n

Viewers were first invited into the \u201cmost haunted house in Britain\u201d where Pamela Early and her two children were being troubled by an unearthly being.<\/p>\n

Viewers were also told that a team of “researchers” had been investigating the movements of a poltergeist called Pipes.<\/p>\n

During the film, Sir Michael urged terrified viewers to ring in with their own ghost stories before they watched Pipes \u201cseize control\u201d of the TV cameras.<\/p>\n

Back at the Early\u2019s house, Greene was seen disappearing into blackness while she searched for Pamela\u2019s daughters. Police and paramedics were also seen arriving on the scene.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s said that if Ghostwatch viewers did ring the BBC hotline, they were allegedly met with a message that told them the show was a hoax.<\/p>\n
