TRAPPED IN A MASONIC WORLD

- 312 -
series by presenters Daniella Westbrook and Angus Purden and also by Myleene Klass and Rhodri Owen
for the third and final series.
To mark the 400th anniversary of the Gunpowder Plot [1605], Living TV commissioned a one-off
programme called; Derek Acorah‘s Quest for Guy Fawkes, which broadcast on the 5th of November 2005.
In 2007 Acorah travelled to Egypt to film Paranormal Egypt with Tessa Dunlop. This six-part series was
commissioned by Living TV and produced by Ruggie Media. [18] In 2008 he appeared in the feature film
documentary Tattoos: A Scarred History. In November 2009 he featured in two programmes where he
attempted to make contact with the spirit of Michael Jackson. - Michael Jackson; The Live Seance and
Michael Jackson; The Search for His Spirit.
However; Acorah‘s time was up, and his true colours where to be exposed, when his credibility was
questioned following his work on Most Haunted. On numerous investigations for the program, Acorah
would appear to become possessed by spirits or an evil entity or would appear lost and confused. On one
such occasion, Acorah claimed to be possessed by the spirit of a man called ―Kreed Kafer‖. In a later
interview the programme's parapsychologist Ciaran O‘ Keeffe, claimed that the character was entirely
fictional. O‘ Keeffe claims that he invented and completely fabricated the Kreed Kafer character, which is
an anagram of ―Derek faker‖, and then miss-fed the information to Acorah, who then subsequently
presented Kreed Kafer‘s spirit as a fact. - In a separate interview, the show‘s ex-presenter and executive
producer Yvette Fielding said that she believes it was a fake possession. [19] This revelation has of course
slaughtered his reputation and image, yet there still seems to be plenty of fools out there who still believe
in him and his Crowley like account of how ―Sam‖ became his trusted Spirit Guide.
In his own biography [20] about his spirit guide, Acorah proclaims the name of his guide is Sam. He
reckons his story began over 2000 years ago when he was incarnated to this earth as a member of a poor
black family who lived in Ethiopia and was one of five children. He was bit of a naughty boy and would
often go missing and on his walk about‘s away from his village. He recalls the day when a large group of
men invaded his village, and that there was much screaming and shouting, and some homes were set
alight. Many people were killed, including his entire family. He was 9 years old at the time.
What‘s quite odd about Acorah‘s account of this story is that he doesn‘t mention what ―his own‖ real
name used to be, or is he expecting us to assume that he was also called Derek as a young Ethiopian over
2000 years ago?
After four days, some local man who knew him, and was named Masumai, befriended Acorah after he
had relayed the tragic story about the slaying of his family. Masumai was a kind of wise man of the
village, whom many would listen to his advice and philosophies. Time went by and they travelled to
various regions and places over the years. Masumai became like a father to him. Masumai told Acorah
that one day he would be like him, but not yet, as he was only 13 years old. He then admits, although he
knew it was wrong to steal, he thought of how hungry and tired Masumai had looked, and how much he
had helped and cared for him, so he crawled very slowly up to a shelf where loaves of bread were on
display and stole three small loaves and crawled away.
He was almost back to where Masumai was sleeping, when he heard shouting and screaming. Before
he knew it, he was surrounded by a circle of men, and given a good beating. He felt as though he was
falling backwards and backwards….but at peace…and no more pain. The next thing he heard was the
voice of Masumai, who held him in his arms and cried. Masumai tried to stem the blood flow from his
wounds but he knew that he could not save him. He told him that he would have to come back to a new
life and that when the time arrived, he would be by his side; his guiding influence from the heavenly side.
[20]
He told him that the stealing of the bread was a spiritual act because he had not stolen it for himself,
[‗Three‘ loaves, try telling that to the Judge Derek!], but to help another. But, he said; ―...There is a
payment for all things‖. Anyway the day came when he heard his name ―Derek‖ being called by
someone/thing he couldn‘t see, it called his name three times, before realising it was Masumai alias Sam
who was calling his name. He told Derek that he was fulfilling the promise he made 2000 years ago
[better late than never] when he said that he would be his guiding influence from the heavenly side; that he
would never forsake that young boy who had given his life in order that Masumai might eat. Acorah then
say‘s: ―But why the name Sam and not Masumai, and that the reason is simple, it is Sam‘s wish that he be
known by that name and not by the ancient name of Masumai of those long ago days in Ethiopia. He knew
that I would be reincarnated into a white, Western world and I would not go back to the country where we
both met‖. [20] - Which still doesn‘t explain the absence of Derek‘s own Ethiopian name from back in the
day, now does it our kid!
