I never had any much interest in MH, but after hearing about this it disgusts me. I would like to read Derek's autobiography to hear the whole story now. Anyone know where I can get it and whats it called? I have looked up the books that he has written but none of them say if its his autobiography.
I don't know whether Derek Acorah has a yet published autobiography, but I do know that a while after he had left
Most Haunted he did an interview on
White Noise online radio, where he spoke quite candidly of his time spent on MH; including graphic accounts of bullying by 'certain individuals' and other such unsavoury goings on during the making of the TV programme,
Most Haunted. At the time, that interview was posted up on the Spiritlove forum along with other
White Noise Radio interviews, as it had been a regular thread on SL. Some other places
(including the Bad Psychics forum) had also posted a full transcript of the interview. However, a short time after the airing of that interview, the White Noise site went down for a short time - and when it came back up, there was a notice where the interview had been, saying they had been forced to take it down by the legal team connected to the MH programme makers - who had also
threatened ... given a warning that they would sue anyone found publishing either the interview or the transcript of the interview.
I subsequently took the post down from the
Spiritlove forum - and left a notice saying that the interview was still available to listen to privately, and that if any of the registered forum members were interested, to let me know by PM and I would send it to them privately by email. This was the case for some time afterward, and during that time a new member registered on the forum, but never posted, simply PM-ing me to ask where they could get the interview. I had no idea who that person might be, and they were not very forthcoming when asked, and so I declined their request.
Some time after, one of the long-term members
(known and trusted by me, as I knew that member personally) requested I email it to them, which I did, sent as an attachment by email. When it arrived at their end,
- the attachment had been wiped clean!
I then went back to the place where I had it kept privately hidden, to try and re-send it to that person - only to find that it had also been wiped from there!
All that was left was a shell inside the interview container.
After that, another anonymous, non-posting new member registered on
Spiritlove, with the same sole PM request asking if I knew where 'the DA interview' could be found.
So ... make of all that what you will.
PS: All that is to be found now on what was the
White Noise online radio, once full of interesting interviews and such - if you look it up now, all you will hear on there is - literally, just a recording of white noise.
PPS: At least I
think that's what the radio site was called ... it's such a long time ago now.
Definitely
White [something] Radio ...
