While the PRAOI were wandering around Charleville in the cold... I was lovely and warm with a full tummy and a glass of white wine, watching MH Live - the series - very close to where I once lived - they were exploring the Old Hall at Tatton Park near Knutsford in Cheshire... everything was going okay until Chris Conway was interrupted (AGAIN..) and Ciarán too was brushed off - ARGGGGGHHHHH! This is so annoying - the part I did like was near the end when Yvette was saying there was no way she'd stay in a particular part of the old hall on her own - she then asked Chris C - he replied "Oh yes.. I love this sort of thing" and she turned to Ciarán who was also delighted with the prospect too - maybe they should - in fact I HONESTLY think it would be VERY interesting! Neither man would scream or say "did you hear that?" Both would conduct themselves with respect, we would be able to hear what Chris has to say.. and we would be able to hear what Ciarán says and see what his gadgets come with!!! I'm looking forward to next Saturday night but only to see the 2 C's!!!

Have to agree Druidsgirl.....the way Yvette kept 'shushing' them drove me mad. She does it all the time, doesn't she?! It's especially annoying when she asks them a question, and they begin to reply and then she rudely stops them and begins her 'what was that?' crap......grrrrrrrr!

yep Dom... with all her shushing the viewer CAN'T hear the audibles... maybe she should do hand signals so that we can hear the audibles AND hear what Chris Conway has to say.. Ciarán then can also do his experiments and tell the viewer what he is picking up on... I do like Yvette but sadly she likes the camera on her all the time! The live series is a HUGE improvement but needs more input from experts in their field!

Capesthorne Hall near Macclesfield was the subject of the investigation last Saturday (more will be shown tonight Tuesday 9th Feb on Living) and once again both Chris Conway and Ciarán O'Keeffe were subjected to having to be quiet whilst we watched Yvette's face as she "saw" things off camera - as a viewer I want to be able to get the CHANCE to see phenomena - what are Ciarán's gadgets coming up with? Can he explain previous phenomena captured due to magnetic fields? Why can't Chris Conway finish his description of those in spirit he has picked up on? Why don't they REALISE that spirits choose to come forward and if they find they are given the respect as they are by Chris they will communicate with him.. by doing that Chris could ask them to do something which would give proof of their existance and that proof is caught by none other than Ciarán.....
It is INFURIATING to watch especially as they continue to leave those who KNOW what they are doing behind...... however I will have to watch it as I'm hooked on Ciarán, Chris and Lesley!

I think Ciaran is the best thing that has happened to that show. Saying that the producers, Karl and Yvette all cut Ciaran short during the investigations. If they actually used him to his full potencial and allowed him to actually do all the experiments the show would be alot more tolerable. Ciaran himself has said that out of all the experiments he comes up with only a very few of them end up on the show. It's a real shame but the truth never the less.

Indeed Dave... however on another forum it was agreed to bombard the production company saying that we wanted MORE of Ciarán's input and indeed Chris Conway's input as both of them were SEEMINGLY given the "cold shoulder" - I noted that last Saturday and indeed last night's follow up programme that we DID see Ciarán's thermal imager and also heard much more from Chris without interruptions...(whipppeeeeee!!!) As a viewer and a "fan" of MH I want to be able to hear EVERYBODY'S viewpoint... a few weeks ago I couldn't understand why Ciarán and Chris were forced to watch a monitor away from the investigation proper when BOTH of these men have far more valuable expertise that should be aired... whatever the viewer believes or not! Anyway.. I'm hooked I'll be honest... and once again whilst you are wandering around in the cold this coming Saturday I'll be in my own house, glass of wine at hand watching MH! I do intend to join you in the future, but can't this time around!

Last Saturday they were at a rather beautiful building near Ormskirk in Lancashire... at long last......... they got the balance right! Both Ciarán and Chris Conway were given a chance to speak and be heard which has been lacking in previous live nights.. however I still believe that this is the way to go for MH - as the Tuesday night follow up programme was vastly improved last week too, as it was based on the original pre-recorded shows we got used to before demanding indisputable evidence of paranormal activity... Sadly Lesley couldn't make it on Sat BUT we had Fred Batt who is, in his own right, an EXCELLENT person to have on MH. Of note - instead of watching Yvette all the time we watched FEET when knocking was heard... GREAT... we want this as we can then eliminate foot tapping... now of course we will want a camera on hands too! Who knows if there is a table or door that can be tapped in response to questions!! There were a few light anomolies which would have to be checked out... I think that the MOST impressive phenomena on Sat night was when Chris Conway was at the "table" with Ciarán overseeing that, whilst on the investigation proper was being filmed live and a door slammed with those on live broadcast only to have Ciarán come over on his walkie talkie that Chris had asked for that to happen.... I HOPE that tomorrow night's follow up programme is as good as last week's and will say to everybody "have a look and see what you think...!" Living TV 10pm Tuesday 23rd Feb!

Oh dear...... last Saturday and last night's follow up programme was based at Golden Grove in South Wales.. the building itself had a long history with the Vaughan family featuring quite prominently - one of these Vaughan's tortured his servants and indeed tenants with stories of mutilated hands and the removal of tongues etc... so I sat down ready for an interesting night waiting for what Ciarán would find and what Chris Conway picked up on.... Well I waited... and waited some more.... nope? They were sent to watch the monitors in the hub... what is the point of having somebody who has gadgets which can prove / disprove rational natural / paranormal explanations for phenomena watching a screen? Instead the viewer was once again subjected to having to keep the remote control of the TV in hand with finger constantly on volume control! Yes the screamers were back and at full pitch! What really annoyed me most was on the follow up programme (before I switched it over) Matt and Simon were alone for a while in the upper floor and they DID pick up on phenomena had Ciarán been there he would have been delighted.... and the guys were CALM or as calm as they could be. However the live meant we were once again able to watch faces and very little else. The building itself did have bats - we saw one swoop low over Karl's head at one point, and of course other scurrying animals and birds could have made their home in this large empty building. So with Ciarán and Chris C banished to a distant corner of the building - for me PERSONALLY I didn't think much of the investigation as a whole... there is still not enough balance.. yes I do like the live series as there is less chance of phenomena being "manufactured" but is that also the reason why Ciarán and Chris are left out? Hmmmm..... I will say that I do like each and every member of team, and yes I did laugh my head off when Yvette Cath and Lesley were in the cellars, if for anything that footage made the "show" worth watching but NOT for the investigation itself!

Well the last 2 nights of the Live Series could have been much better - the first was in Lincoln Jail and we didn't have too many screams but once again Ciarán and Chris were subjected to sitting in front of a monitor... WHY???.... This really makes me feel that something is going on in the "manufactured" phenomena stakes as the 2 HONEST members of the team were kept away from the investigation proper.. Then last Saturday night they were in Cumbria and once again after a very short intro with Ciarán and a just as short "well who are you picking up on Chris?" - "Nobody at the moment.." we find that once again the 2 HONEST members of the team are watching a screen when everybody else goes on the investigation...

This morning I wasn't surprised one bit to note that Chris Conway has resigned from the show... and I applaud him of his honesty....

MH are supposed to be going to Prague and the "Evil Within" not every haunted site has "evil" entities....... hmm. we'll see I might not watch it!
