Naquada

Now Derek Acorah is the one medium who actually looks like he could communicate with the dead (based on the fact he looks it!) but he’s not probably that well known outside the UK. The ‘communicator’ with the spirit world has gained somewhat of a degree of cult celebrity, although his choice of proof and resources for this is a bit dubious, such as the fact he swears to keep in contact with an Ethiopian guide in another dimension.

Thankfully though he’s parted ways with his first big television series under allegations that his producer secretly invented a fake dead person that happened on possessing Derek’s body, after the producer leaked the name to the crew. You have to hand it to the producer, the phony ghost’s name was Kreed Kafer, an anagram for Derek Faker.

Of course, he vehemently denies the charges and has moved on to greener pastures in terms of television exposure when he’s not playing packed houses with his live show.

I love the quote from Derren Brown on Acorah:

“If I die I’d like to haunt Derek. I hate everything he stands for.”

But I mean, given deep proof provided by Harry Hill, who couldn’t believe ??
