Derek Acorah Uk Psychic Medium
from:Born on 27 January 1950, Derek Acorah is a UK psychic medium, most commonly known for his
work on the Living TV series Most Haunted. During his long
career, he has worked on television, radio and in theatre shows
throughout the UK, and the rest of the world. He also offers
private psychic readings to his clients.
When Derek was a child, the spirit of his late grandfather visited him and,
when he told his grandmother about this psychic experience, she
revealed that she was a medium too. Despite Derek's early
psychic experiences, he chose to spend his early career as a
professional footballer.
Derek enjoyed stints playing for Bill Shankly's Liverpool Football Club,
alongside Emlyn Hughes, as well as Wrexham AFC, Glentoran and
the Australian team, USC Lion. During this time, Derek married
and had one son, Karl, although, despite his success as a
footballer, he never lost sight of his psychic abilities.
After the end of his football career in the early 1980s, Derek
moved back to his native Liverpool and began to pursue
mediumship full-time. Initially, Derek didn't charge for
his readings and he soon attracted a substantial local
following. However, he soon began charging the small sum of
£1 after running into some financial difficulties.
Derek's reputation continued to grow and he became
a very popular medium in Merseyside. He built on this success by
writing his first book, The Psychic World of Derek Acorah,
alongside his then manager John G. Sutton. After the publication
of this, John decided to take Derek to the USA where his psychic
abilities were deemed powerful enough for him to join the
prestigious International Society
for Paranormal Research (ISPR).
In 1999, Derek's affiliation with the ISPR led to his first TV
appearances, which were in the award-winning documentaries ISPR
Investigates Ghosts of England and ISPR Investigates Ghosts Of
Belgrave Hall. After this, he appeared on a show called Psychic
Livetime on Granada Breeze, before going on to host his own show
on the same channel, Predictions with Derek Acorah.
Derek's stint on this channel led him to be headhunted by
Living TV to star on their Most Haunted programme, which made
him a household name.
Since appearing on TV's Most Wanted, Derek has also been featured on a string of other
programmes such as The Antiques Ghost Show, Derek Acorah's
Ghost Towns, Derek Acorah's Search for Guy Fawkes and
Paranormal Egypt. He no longer appears on Most Haunted, but has
said that he would like to return as a guest medium in the
future.
Derek is renowned for his dramatic and theatrical style of mediumship, which has been parodied a number of times on comedy shows. The most famous example of this is in
Marc Wooton's comedy series High Spirits with Shirley
Ghostman, although impressionist John Culshaw has also featured
a similar parody on his show Dead Ringers.
Now happily married to second wife Gwen, Derek lives near Southport
with his two dogs, Jack and Penny, and two cats, Mindy and
Toby.
