A Bump On The Head


Just after Sarah Greene looks behind the bed, the bit where she and the girls rush out of the room, watch the youngest daughter. She appears to run straight into the door-frame, then clutches her forehead. I think this is a genuine goof. Anyone else notice this? Not spooky, just funny.

I found it funny when I first saw it, if its a goof, then it adds to the realism. When I first showed my brother that bit he played that specific bit over and over laughing at it.

it's a genuine goof that they didn't bother doing a reshoot for.
I mentioned it in my review ;-)
it's the funniest thing about Ghostwatch.

Yeah, I notice that everytime, probably because I did something really similar walking offstage during a play (smacked my forehead off a piece of setting, grimaced very visibly). She does seem to hurt herself quite a bit though, hope she was alright, but the goof as self doesn't matter in the context.

One thing that does bother me is the explaination as to how Dr Lin Pascoe met the Earlys. At first she says they chose the house for the documentry because a census of parapsychologists all said it had the most tangible ghost activity. Later she says she met the Earlys after watching them on a chat show.

reply

I just took it to mean that she nominated them as one possibility for the show after she met them following the chat show an the parapsychologists chose them from a selection of options
could have been clarified better though, but perhaps it was one of the hints the BBC insisted they'd put in to stop viewers from mistaking it for reality
