In 1917, two English girls, Elsie Wright and Francis Griffiths, claimed to have met a band of fairies while playing near a brook...and they had pictures to prove it! Even Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, creator of Sherlock Holmes, wanted to believe the pictures were real. Soon believers and skeptics alike were demanding answers from Elsie and Francis...but they were reluctant to discuss the whole affair in public...until 60 years later or so!

Subscribe, rate and review Join The Spookaroos Tonight host Eric D is joined by three guests: Emily Ferguson, Brian Toney and Tom Cole to watch and discuss the landmark 1992 BBC Halloween special: Ghostwatch! Ghostwatch was a show about a "live" investigation of a haunting, but it was presented as real. Reality TV is nothing new these days, but in 1992, it was not widely known. This caused some viewers to think what they were seeing was real and this caused something of a panic through the nation....or did it? It seems a lot of urban legend has grown up around this special and it's aftermath. We couldln't wait to watch it for he first time and share our thoughts with you on episode 200 of Spooky times with Eric D! Now go learn about the ghost named Pipes who haunts a glory hole. No, seriously. Music by Occultic Overtones/Brian Toney Listen to this episode
