Summary: Derek is one of the world’s most renowned Spiritualist Mediums having demonstrated to millions of people in theatres throughout the UK and beyond over his 25 year career in the public eye. Derek’s television career dates back over fifteen years when he became the first Medium in the UK to demonstrate live on air and without the benefit of an edit suite on programmes such as “Psychic Live Time” and “The Psychic Zone”. His audiences were enormous and not merely UK based but went out to Europe, the Middle East, India, Australia and New Zealand. He followed up with a further programme “Derek Acorah’s Predictions” which involved Derek conducting investigations of allegedly haunted locations. This programme became the forerunner for many of the ghost investigation programmes that have aired since in the UK. Derek has worked in America where in 1998 he demonstrated live at The Vogue Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard, as well as taking part in a number of Hollywood based paranormal investigations with the then International Society for Paranormal Research. Two years later a programme was developed entitled “Connections with Derek Acorah” which saw him going out on to the streets of Santa Monica giving live readings to passers by. Derek recently returned to America to conduct a demonstration and visit Salem, Massachusetts where the infamous witch trials took place.
