Best approched with an open mind, Most Haunted is more of a psycological foray into the afterlife that a physical one. This set, from the seasons 2 and 3 , is a very entertaining, amusing, and at times, scary ride. Most people believe this is the first two seasons, and the packge claims it is season one and two, but these episodes are from season two and three. Most Haunted's first year was in 24 minute episodes. The first year had a different parapsycologist named Jason Karl, and a different make up girl with black frilly hair that screamed at everything and ran faster than Yvette ever did.

Each memeber of the team brings something different to the table. Yvette Fielding is a great host, speaking clearly and precise, explaining the history of the investigation. But when things get going, she freaks, and sometimes it is quite funny. For example, Yvette and her paranormal investigator Phil Wyman were investigating some rooms in the castle where Mary Queen Of Scots was held several times. As the night progresses, thier fear grows, and when a scratching begins at a window, they both freak and shove each other in a desparate bid to escape the room. Her freak out moments are legendary, and as we learn in the extras from the historian of the group, they now lable anyone's freak out moments a "Yvette". Even Phil Wyman warns Yvette, "Don't you start, because when you do, you set me off, too" First clue she's scared: her hand goes right to her mouth and she wimpers.

In this set, Yvette bring medium Derek Anorak to the investigations. He is not told of where he is going, or of any history of the places to be investigated. As he reveals his readings in a dramatic, engrossing way, we are informed by foot notes if history can back up who he claims to see or speak to, and if what he says is accurate. Mostly he is right on the mark, but Most Haunted is not afraid to show you proof if he is correct or incorrect. To me, this makes what transpires believable. This also gives it two angles to think about. Is what Derek saying totally true? Is what he coveys from his spirit guide garbled and sometimes causes misinformation? Or is Derek trying to pass off his tales as "readings" but has secretly researched a little before the actual investigation?

I also like the historian Richard. At first I wasn't sure, but his speaches on history are very interesting. In one scene, the crew are chasing noises through a castle, and he seems sort of confused as to what is happening, even perplexed, and then he seems genuinely afraid when Yvette and the sound man see feet under a door. When ghostly happenings begin, he gets bewildered and lost in the shuffle. Richard usually seems baffled by the noises, and unsure what to do next.

Karl, Yvette's husband, is always cool and collected...and here you can hear all the language without many beeps at all.

Cath, the hairdresser/ investigator is just adorable. She has a child like quality about her and it actually makes you feel sorry for her when she is terrified. Poor thing.

Some of the members are afraid of their own shadows, which add another dimension to the spooky goings on. One of the girls screams at a coffee pot light when it blinks, she is so on edge.

Showing so many different members and how they react to the ghostly going on enhances the believability. Some of the members you grow to learn they are over reacting and think everything is caused by a ghost, then others want to find out what the
