TV can’t get enough of the paranormal

MEDIA. Two of Britain’s best-known television psychics, Colin Fry and Tony Stockwell (right), will be joined by Tracy Higgs (left) on a new TV series, Psychic Private Eyes, which will be screened from 19 December in the UK on Sky Zone Reality 150 and NTL/Telewest 146.

Its aim is to take a fresh look at unsolved murders and unexplained disappearances, following a similar format to Stockwell’s successful previous TV series, The Psychic Detective.

The mediums will work individually to piece together what happened in an attempt to solve a mystery or locate a missing body. The cases will be ones that have been closed without a solution and been forgotten by the police and the media, but not by the victims’ families.

Also in the UK, Living TV is to broadcast John Edward: Cross Country, featuring one of America’s best known mediums. It has already been screened in the US. The same channel also broadcast Edward’s earlier series, Crossing Over.

On a different level altogether is VH1’s Celebrity Paranormal Project which takes a group of individuals who are (or were) celebrities for varying periods of their lives and puts them together in a haunted place with a TV crew. Some, it has to be said, are scarier than the ghosts they are hunting.

Favourite haunts of this reality TV series, which was filmed in the US and started on 22 October, are lunatic asylums, hospitals and prisons. A different group is featured each week and participants have so far included Gary Busey, Mariel Hemingway, David Carradine and Ernie Hudson (right) – who, appropriately, was one of the stars of Ghostbusters.
