The Rise of the Straggly Man

A little while ago the charlatans behind Most Haunted spent 4 nights buggering about in the dark in Prague.  Despite my best efforts (and those of the people I roped into helping me) I was unable to demonstrate the whole thing was a steaming pile of excrement.  Fake plastic excrement.
