msc 18,480 Posted January 4, 2020 DAMN IT! I've been convinced for a few years he had limited time left, just on subconscious gut feeling, but never picked him in any pools because you can't back up that with stats. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Prehaps you could sense the problems that caused his coma and death whatever they were. He did have issues with the Booze. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was convinced someone had picked him in the Hare's a few years ago... Can't find any record of it, mind you I don't have records of subs prior to this year and you get some bloody weird subs......

TQR 14,405 Posted January 4, 2020 His ex-colleague, Yvette Fielding, is getting a slating by the Daily Fail for only posting a short, ‘curt’ tweet of condolence. Reminds me of when Fielding and Acorah fell out because Acorah’s bullshit was proven to be bullshit (he got possessed by the spirit of a dead person someone made up). Yvette was absolutely raging that he could bring charlatans into disrepute. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,480 Posted January 4, 2020 I saw a few Most Haunteds back in the day. Hilariously crap TV. But one bit that nearly killed me was Acorah or some other sod trying to explain the history of the "ghost" they were investigating, some young woman murdered in a castle. "And later that night", he said ominously, "The lord sent his two most violent guards down to the dungeons to the young lady..." Which immediately conjured an image of a Vincent Price bad guy going "Right, you two, you are my most violent guards so I've got a job for you!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toast 16,155 Posted February 15, 2020 I've only heard of her because of the court case re her assaulting her boyfriend. " Her former fiancé Andrew Brady, who claimed he would have died if he remained in their relationship, took to Twitter in the early hours on December 14 to pen: 'Sad that I'm not more surprised by the news' ."
