GHOSTWATCH (BBC, 1992)
The show claimed to be a “live investigation of the supernatural.”
You had wholesome Sarah Greene in a haunted house, Craig Charles wandering around with a microphone, and Michael Parkinson calmly hosting in the studio like it was a normal chat show.
Which meant millions of viewers thought it was real.
About 2,500 people complained to the BBC - not because it was scary, but because they’d been made to look like mugs!
