- The program is one of the most controversial that the BBC has ever made. Many viewers believed that the program was a genuine live documentary and that it had shown conclusive proof not only that ghosts are real but that they can attack and even kill people. Upon discovering that the program was a fiction, many viewers became extremely angry, accusing the BBC of perpetrating a hoax. The program was even linked to the suicide of a young man with learning difficulties.

The program was even linked to the suicide of a young man with learning difficulties. The BBC eventually apologized for airing the program and banned it from being shown again for ten years. Although the ten year ban has now come to an end, the program has never been repeated on British television. However, the program has aired in Canada and Belgium. In 2002, for its tenth anniversary, it was shown in some movie theaters in Britain and released on VHS and DVD. Notably, the first home video release of Ghostwatch was by the British Film Institute, not the BBC.
