'Most Haunted' cleared of fraud

Published Monday, Dec 5 2005, 16:43 GMT | By Fiona Edwards
Ofcom has today ruled that Living TV show Most Haunted was not in breach of programme guidelines in its claims of finding paranormal activity.

The television watchdog ruled that the show contains "a high degree of showmanship that puts it beyond what we believe to be a generally accepted understanding of what comprises a legitimate investigation". As such the show should be taken as produced for entertainment purposes, not to definitively inform the public of real incident of paranormal activity.

The show, featuring "psychic" Derek Acorah and presenter Yvette Fielding is now in its sixth series.
