The long-running British ghost hunting show, Most Haunted, cleaned up at the first Paranormal Entertainment Awards having been voted the winner of each category it was shortlisted in.

In total the show picked up five awards, including Best Paranormal Reality Show, beating channel-mates and new comers 'Help! My House Is Haunted', which took the silver award. The show's host, Yvette Fielding was also voted Best Female Ghost Hunter, while her husband and co-host, Karl Beattie, picked up Best Male Ghost Hunter.

Most Haunted's public ghost hunting event videos, which are streamed via their Facebook page won Best Paranormal Live Video. The show was also recognised for capturing the Best Paranormal Evidence of the year for a memorable moment when a cursed doll spontaneously burst into flames during the team's investigation of Codnor Castle Cottage near Derby.

As well as these categories, the awards also recognised the best paranormal movies, podcasts and publications of the last twelve months.

UKTV's Really channel, which airs Most Haunted, also picked up the award for Best Paranormal Broadcaster. US paranormal investigator Zak Bagans' film 'Demon House', which aired on the channel over Halloween won in the Best Paranormal Documentary Film category.
