Derek Acorah? What a fake. Also, has anyone noticed the correlation between people who believe they're psychic and paranormal activity? It is all a state of mind.

Good old Derek. He got booted off there when they found out he was a fake. That phsycologist fella used to think he was a fake and was cheating on these places he was going on and looking up the history before he went there. So he started leaving bits of information about on notes were old Derek would find them. He left this name of this supposed ghost that haunted the place, 'RIK EEDLES' so good old derek started carryng on about this RIK was possesing him when actual fact RIK Eedles is an anagram of Derek lies. Also another one was Kreed Kaffer (Derek Faker) They both got the sack then when it was in the paper. Ha

My flatmates have become utterly convinced that our halls are haunted. Apparently there are unexplained bangs and things keep going awol... not experienced any of these things myself, and I'm normally a right scaredy-cat when a place feels a bit spooky, and am dubious as the building is brand spanking new. But just out of curiosity, do any of you knowledgeable peeps happen to know what was on this site previously, or of any spooky goings on in the area? The halls are Opal Court on Burley Road, the ones with the weird multicoloured metal things outside the windows, just down from the Fox and Newt pub.

According to the 1908 OS map, just back to backs and a small iron foundry. On the opposite side of Kirkstall road was the tram depot.On Derek Acorah, I remember one programme where he started going on about Oliver Cromwell's presence. It turned out that the building had connections with Thomas Cromwell. Rushed research, methinks.

Well i tell you what the guys made a lot of money out of it. He might look a complete clown when he's throwing a wobbly but at least he's a rich clown! That's given me an idea!!
