A CULT television documentary crew are to descend on Wakefield as Most Haunted Live comes the city for its summer solstice special.
On Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, paranormal investigators will brave the depths of a disused mine to explore any unexplained paranormal activity from miners who have passed to the other side. They will also visit an decrepit and spooky textile mill to
investigate spiritual activity and spend a night at Wakefield Theatre Royal.
The programme, aired on Living TV, is now filming its sixth series and has attracted a huge national fan base as it travels across the country to document ghostly goings-on. Antix Productions has picked Wakefield to broadcast its 15th live show
Researchers contacted the Express after reading some of the articles we have printed about the paranormal activity in the theatre, including our over-night stay last Hallowe’en where we hailed it the spookiest building in the city.
Paranormal investigators Yvette Fielding and Derek Acorah will be looking for ghosts in four areas: the cellar, under the stage, the auditorium and the eerie dressing rooms. They will feed their findings back to a live studio audience in Barnsley with presenters Dr David Bull and Julian Clegg plus an interactive team, including historians, medium David Wells and sceptic Dr Matthew Smith.
Murray Edwards, theatre manager, said: “We’re delighted to be hosting the Most Haunted Live team for a night of investigation.
“Over the years, there has been a number of ghostly goings-on and we are looking forward to being able to share our building and its inhabitants with the world.”
The show will go out live each night at 7.30pm.
