Some one enquired about the Patrick Mower supernatural drama series 'Haunted' on some thread or other sometime back. There was reply that it was an ABC(uk) series and consequently there was nothing left of it.
I have recently noticed that it was actually distributed in the States !
The company 'Prism' use to distribute all sorts of old tat feature films.... as well as
British TV programmes like ' tales of the unexpected'
They went bust around 1992 i believe, so its just a case of who bought the archive to maybe find another lost item?.

I'd always wondered about this series myself. I was too young to stay up for it at the time but it has always seemed intriguing, another long-forgotten item. Anyone here have any personal memory of watching it or what it was like?
I'd always thought it would be good if an episode turned up...

I have never seen it myself, and it was cancelled pronto, but it sounds intriguing.
From what i gather, the premise is something like a 1960s X Files.
Also i may have goofed about 'Prism' I wonder if maybe its the same Prism that now does the cheap DVD releases?

I remember this one from my childhood, my sister and i used to watch it on saturday nights. I for some reason always thought it was called ghost hunter, anyway a clip of the show was shown on tv a few years ago when patrick mower was the subject of this is your life.

Was the clip definitely from Haunted? Up till now, this series was supposed to have been completely missing. Wonder where the clip was sourced from if true? Anyone know more?

laurence, the clip that was shown was 100% haunted . i think at the time T.I.Y.L was made by thames tv, maybe they can shed more light.

I'm sure you're right! Well, it may make sense if Thames made the show as they inherited ABC's Teddington studio of course. It's long been thought that Thames may still have more ABC material than they admit to. As i'm sure the current owners of the ABC library don't have copies of Haunted (as far as I know), I bet they'd be interested in this little fact...
Curioser and curioser.
