Ghostwatch is a mockumentary where a poltergeist harasses a family while a BBC news crew captures it all. This program is often compared to Orson Welles' infamous radio broadcast of War of the Worlds since many credulous television viewers believed that Ghostwatch was a genuine live news program when it first aired; a hotline that was displayed during the broadcast was inundated with calls from frightened people at home.

A lot of one's enjoyment of this feature will stem more from the context that it arose from rather than the content itself, but Ghostwatch is still an intriguing curio for horror movie devotees.
