In 1992, seven years before the Blair Witch Project, the BBC aired a fictional ghost-hunting program – but didn't tell the British viewing audience that it was all staged.

Also, boy is there a lot of talk about gloryholes, for mostly very innocent reasons.

We are BACK! And we're bringing some deep bass rumblings with us.  This season, we're watching all the Paranormal Activity film in all their found-footage-y goodness. What possessed us to do such a thing? We blame it on Tobi.
