• Ghostwatch Explained: The Haunted TV Special That Fooled Millions

  This week on Killers, Cults & Queens, Cheryl and Nikki revisit one of the BBC’s most infamous moments — Ghostwatch. Broadcast on Halloween night in 1992, the show appeared to be a live investigation into a haunted house… but what viewers didn’t know was that it was entirely scripted. The result? Panic, confusion, and a scandal that would see the show banned for over a decade.Join us as we unpick how Ghostwatch blurred the lines between fact and fiction, why it terrified an entire nation, and how it paved the way for the modern horror genre. From Michael Parkinson’s chilling final moments to the real-life consequences for viewers, this is the story of the hoax that went too far.Expect spooky nostalgia as we explore the show that made Britain believe in the supernatural — if only for one terrifying night.🎧 New episodes of Killers, Cults & Queens every week — hit subscribe and join us for more true crime, cults, and creepy tales.👑 Hosted by Cheryl Hole and Nikki DruceThis weeks episode is sponsored by London Nootropics.
