Most Haunted Live

[kaliha]

I've not watched Most Haunted for a fair while (it was a combination of the sacking of the mighty Derek Acorah, having social life on the nights it was on the telleh and His Lordship refusing to let me watch it when he was home (I think he was scared o_O)).

I've been watching the current Most Haunted Live on Living this weekend and it's gone really bad, hasn't it? The new medium is awful, he doesn't have the personality of Derek or the other bloke (David?) and I think the live show are much too long.

However, investigating the London Underground is completely made of win. I'd love to go exploring the abandoned stations, I know that there are some down there that have been abandoned since the war (for whatever reason) and I've even seen some on the Northern Line when we've been through engineering works very, very slowly.

This leads me to a question for London-based peeps. Are there companies that do tours of abandoned stations (not unnecessarily ghost tours, historical tours would be just as ace)?

Being a geek about (a) London (b) underground stuff (c) trains and (d) history, I would be stupidly excited to find out if there was anything you could do that wasn't mostly illegal or at least likely to get you in some sort of trouble. As it is your best bet is probably things that go on during London Open House weekend.

I'll have to live with videos of Firestarter and a rewatch of Creep for my abandoned Underground needs.

There was a brilliant Channel 4 (I think) documentary that collected together ghost stories from the Underground. It was very good.
