Celebrity Help! My House Is Haunted

I love this show. I have recently discovered this and the non-celeb version on Discovery Plus. Previously I had been watching other paranormal investigation shows but this is my favourite.

Ian Lawman is a great part of the team as the psychic/exorcist. I recognise him from many years ago in Most Haunted.

Barri Ghai is the tech expert and comes across as a really sweet person.

Jayne Harris is a historian/psychologist on the show and is generally a very soothing person to have around for the people who live in the house and really knows her stuff as a paranormal investigator. Light years better than people such as Yvette Fielding!!

Some of the celebs have been a bit Z list except Toyah and Lawrence Lewellyn-Bowen but mostly interesting. Although I have to say that the scariest thing about the 'Lady Colin Campbell' episode was the lady herself. She would give anyone a fright whether it's day or night.

I can't wait for the new season to start. I have watched seasons 1 and 2 so far and I know they've been filming a new one recently.

By the way, whether you believe in the paranormal or not, this is top entertainment.

We got season 2 and 3 a good while back on #DISCOVERYPLUSUSA and I LOVE THIS SHOW!! They just now gave us season 1 in the States and I'm hoping for a season 4 soon! I love this rich history there and the places and lands are absolutely breathtaking! 🇬🇧🇺🇸 #HelpMyHouseIsHauntedSeason4.

Where to start? Oh my goodness this is the same predictable drivel every episode, it takes you about 5 minutes to suss the plot.

Acting is questionable, the "evidence" again is questionable, using an EMF meter in a house that cleary has TVs, and other electronic appliances in the vicinity, of course you are going to get readings.

I mean sure if you fancy a chuckle then give this a watch, but honestly you'd get more laugh's and actual results from mystery Inc, the only thing thia show is missing is a dog.

If you believe anything in this is real then more fool you, I know for a fact someone who's had these people round and it did hee haw.

Ghai, Harris, and Lawman yet again peddling their nonsense.

They have no credibility whatsoever - well, except for the myth they create of themselves.

Lawman is particularly annoying with his fantastic claims - particularly of being an 'ordained exorcist'. Doesn't he know exorcists are APPOINTED within the Catholic church? Obviously the truth doesn't matter to him as long as he can make some cash from his con.

Then we have Ghai, another fool who thinks he knows everything, but it soon becomes clear he knows nothing as soon as he opens his mouth. Or perhaps he knows very well he knows nothing an relies on the gullibility of the audience.

What to say about Harris. She claims to have all kinds of qualifications, from psychologist to herbalist, and an expert on haunted dolls. She still make claims about being a company owner - one which folded in 2015. Just another chancer.

And all of this really shines through in the programme, which is as ridiculous as the three presenters. It is junk.

A tweak on the usual formula, as it involves 'celebrities', which gives it another angle of interest. I love the local history & seeing the fab buildings - not the new 1970s-esque boxes - but the older, unspoilt, places are so beautiful, the Pubs are heavenly & I feel envious watching them explore!) Some screeching & swearing but less so than other shows, I appreciate Ian Lawman's more calm, dignified approach. Barri wigs out but is endearing with it, & along with Jayne the 3 of them make a great team.

All these 'ghost-hunt' shows have pressure to fill a paid TV slot (tho' I often wish this show was longer) so there's embellishment that can feel forced, pre-scripted stories with convienient interpretations of electronic 'messages', & I'm not convinced the Mediums really have no earthly pre-knowledge of a location! - but under it all there's interesting truth, some genuine activity that makes you think; all in all it's enjoyable entertainment that delivers.

*Roman Catholicism is not the only Christian denomination that ordains Exorcists :)
