Most Haunted season 5 episode 10 takes viewers to the historic Oldham Coliseum, a theater with a long and storied past. The site was originally built in 1885 as a place for entertainment and cultural enrichment, and has since served as a cinema and music venue in addition to its theatrical offerings. Despite its long history, however, the Coliseum has gained a reputation for being haunted - and it's up to the Most Haunted team to investigate these claims.
Upon arriving at the Coliseum, the team is struck by the building's grandeur and history. Yvette, the host of Most Haunted, speaks with Jack, the Coliseum's chief electrician, about the paranormal activity that's been reported over the years. Jack tells Yvette about an apparition of a man that's been seen in the theater's upper circle, as well as unexplained noises and fleeting glimpses of figures in the wings.
As the team sets up their equipment and prepares for their investigation, they can't help but feel the weight of the theater's legacy bearing down on them. Yvette and her colleague Karl explore the upper circle, where the apparition has been seen. They try to communicate with any spirits that might be present, asking if they can make their presence known.
Later on, the team splits up to cover more ground. Stuart and Fred explore the theater's basement, which is creepy enough on its own, even without the added element of paranormal activity. They hear odd noises and see strange shadows moving across the walls, heightening their nerves and making them all the more convinced that something is amiss.
Meanwhile, Yvette and Karl head to the Coliseum's props department, which is said to be one of the most active paranormal hotspots in the entire building. They hear loud bangs and see orbs of light moving around the room, all while getting a sense of the dark energy that seems to hang over the space.
As the night wears on, the team experiences more and more unsettling incidents. Items move on their own, strange sounds fill the air, and everyone feels like they're being watched and followed. Yvette and Karl even go so far as to set up a makeshift Ouija board in an attempt to contact any spirits that might be present, but the results are unclear and the board itself seems to malfunction.
Despite the team's best efforts, they're ultimately unable to definitively prove the existence of any paranormal activity at the Coliseum. However, the sheer amount of eerie incidents and strange experiences they have in the course of their investigation leads them to believe that there is something deeper going on at the theater.
Overall, Most Haunted season 5 episode 10 provides viewers with a chilling glimpse into the world of the paranormal, as the team navigates the dark halls and secretive corners of the historic Oldham Coliseum. With its intriguing stories and eerie atmosphere, this episode is sure to keep audiences on the edge of their seats.
