Amazon.co.uk Review
Most Haunted's seventh season continues its tried and tested formula: take some psychics and a film crew to haunted locations and film the mayhem. After the departure of discredited ‘psychic’ Derek Acorah, it's down to Gordon Smith and Angus Purdey to step into his shoes; with David Wells, Richard Felix, Ciaran O'Keefe and the inimitable Yvette Fielding along for the ride.

Season 7 of Most Haunted visits the Castle Keep in Newcastle, Woodchester Mansion in Gloucestershire, Mains Hall near Blackpool, and the Granada Studios and Coronation Street sets. Everywhere they go, chill winds and ghostly orbs seem to follow, as centuries of murder and intrigue are uncovered (though usually nothing that can be corroborated by any historical records, though).

Most of the time, the camera misses the action, swinging around just in time to catch some ‘ghostly’ activity in creepy green night vision --and for most of the scares, it’s evident that they’re just caused by the camera crew messing about. Atmosphere is everything, though, and the overreactions of the presenters, together with the long complicated tales spun out by the psychics make for compulsive viewing. It’s even occasionally a bit scary, however much you know you should know better. -- Sarah Dobbs

Synopsis

Ooh...best aparition caught on camera so far
I have to admit that as a fan of MH, and owner of several boxsets, I too thought that only six episodes was a bit of a swizz, but, the price is much less than buying all of series 6, so is not really that bad all things considered.

But if you are a MH fan, you've got to get this set for two reasons: 1) It has Gordon Smith in it, who is a stunningly good Psychic (watch the Extras for Gordon delivering a personal reading to Richard Felix, and see Richard's amazed reaction!), and 2) The best aparition caught on camera so far - at Mains Hall. It even has Karl shook up and reconsidering his personal spiritual beliefs. I paused this footage to look closer and could definitely see a spirit face of a young girl in the aparition.

Not to mention the easily audiable deep sighs and breaths that scare Stuart and Karl...I won't spoil it anymore for you!!!

Can't wait for series 8 to be released!

Most Haunted - Still scary and brilliant!
Many Most Haunted fans stopped watching the show once leading professional ( I use that word, loosey!) spirit medium Derek Acorah left Most Haunted. Yet season 7 proves they didnt need him. This season has the same old crew, Yvette Fielding with David Wells and the new spirit medium Gordan Smith travel to different locations in order to find ghosts. Lets talk about the places:

Lower Southwood Cottages in Devon - Best moment is the kitchen séance during which Gordon is overcome with emotion and has to leave. As he does so, a sound is heard and a knife is found to have fallen at Yvette's feet!

Castle Keep in Tyne and Wear - Psychics Gordon Smith and David Wells, both identify a woman spirit either holding or handing out flowers. Many strange noises are heard, including a brass band, though no such group are in the area. After a vigil, the chairs used in this particular investigation have apparently shifted on their own. During a solo vigil in the Gallery Room, Karl's recitation of the Lord's Prayer is interrupted twice by loud bangs - Very freaky indeed!

Woodchester Mansion in Gloucestershire - During a vigil in the upstairs corridor, a stone is thrown across the room and captured on camera. Stuart attempts a solo vigil in this area, which leads to more stones being thrown and a number of audible sighs and groans caught on camera. When the rest of the crew join him, their equipment mysteriously drains of all power and an evil presence is felt around them.

Coronation Street, Lancashire - During Karl's investigation of the alleys behind the set, a barrel rolls out of the Rovers Return yard, though no one else is in the area!

Old Church House Inn in Devon - Gordon Smith detects a connection between the inn and a nearby church, claiming a tunnel would run between the two. He also senses a robed figure, possibly a monk, who is responsible for a great deal of paranormal activity. David Wells also picks up on the tunnel and a monk as well as a figure in back in Room One and the name Robinson. Table tipping is attempted in the bar, but when sounds appear to be coming from an adjacent location, the team try the experiment in that room. The table moves quite violently and many knocking sounds are detected. In Room 12, the sound of footsteps and bells are heard from above. While in Room 17, nails fall from the floor without obvious explanation, when the team asks for a sign.

Mains Hall in Blackpool - In the Main Bedroom, during the night vigils, the spirit of a girl makes herself known and seems to make a sound when asked. In another room, Karl is convinced he has seen a shadow and a strange shape is indeed picked up on camera.

All in all this season proves they still want proof, they want to be scared and want to see a full on ghosty vision! David and Gordon work so well together, they seem to flow as one and make each show great to watch. You can tell these guys really care for their work and you know they aint faking anything. Also for everyone who is fed up with the show, dont watch! I bet u would freak out if something spooky yelled in ur ear! The team do so much and get scared to death, u can help but run off!

Buy this DVD to add to your collection. Also this DVD proves there is life or shall I say death after Derek left! Most Haunted is still brilliant and still very very very scary! Roll on Season 8!

Watchable - with some good paranormal footage.
I agree with the previous reviewer, there are only six episodes in this series, and it's in the normal Most Haunted format. I have watched two of the DVD's so far out of the three that come in the box set. However, with Derek having being exposed as a fraud, the new mediums that have replaced him (David Wells and Gordon Smith) make it more enjoyable and real, without all the "drama and acting" that Derek used to do when he was apparently seeing apparitions and being taken over by spirits. It's a good purchase, if you want a night in and there are some genuinely good scary bits in some of the footage that can not be explained - and seeing as MH has had a lot of bad press in recent years, this still makes interesting viewing.
