Invitation to take part in research (Most Haunted)
Invitation to a discussion on haunted house television programmesResearchers from the University of Westminster are conducting a study on television programmes such as Most Haunted, Derren Brown’s Trick of the Mind, or related television, films or websites. During April 2008 we would like to interview you (for one and a half hours, with others) to talk about these programmes. We are interested in discussing what you think of ghost investigations, mediums, magic and illusions in the media. In today’s society, why do we still have a fascination in traditional ghost stories?This is a non-commercial project, led by Annette Hill who is writing a book about ghosts in contemporary society and culture. Please be assured your confidentiality would be respected and no names would be used in the project. Your input will be invaluable to our research.The group interviews will take place over a series of evenings from Monday 7th April to Thursday 24th April, with the first session from 6pm-7.30pm and the second session from 8pm-9.30pm in the University’s Regent Street building at 309, Regent Street, London, W1B 2UW. You would only be required to attend one of the sessions. We can provide light snacks and £20 to say thank you for your time and contribution. If you are interested in taking part, please email Lizzie Jackson at ghostmedia@hotmail.co.uk indicating your interest and giving your contact details including the best telephone number to call you on, and a good time of day to call. We will telephone you to ask a few initial questions and organise a time for you to attend the group interviews. We would love to know what you have to say on this subject.Thanks,Annette Hill and Lizzie Jackson
