Stuart Torevell's Most Terrifying Most Haunted Moments

When it comes to scary phenomena on Most Haunted, it seems that the long-time team member Stuart Torevell is often at the receiving end.

Stuart's cousin, the show's host Yvette Fielding, recently said her overall scariest moments are the ones where "those you love get hurt," and there's been a few of them. Yvette said, "even going back as far as Edinburgh Vaults being scratched and burned at East Drive, those for me were turning points where I was in tears both times after those locations, and praying and I couldn't sleep and then it really freaked me out at home."

Below are eight of the most terrifying incidents that have occurred to Stuart during the 16 year history of the show, one of which resulted in life changing consequences.

The team were about to move on to their next location, when Stuart was hit by a flying object in the form of a rock. Talking to camera, he said "this thing came from nowhere, hit me on the leg and landed on the floor. Whether it was aimed for me I don't know. But I don't know where that one have come from".

Throughout the filming of the episode filmed at the former Ripon Liberty Prison, the team seemed to encounter problems with batteries inexplicably draining in their cameras and lights.

Stuart was forced to go out to get some supplies, while he was gone demonologist Fred Batt managed to get one of his trademark chants in, "Lucifer prince of darkness if you are here, or any of your servants, come forward at let yourself be known. Kick one of us, push one of us."

No sooner had Fred said the words, Stuart who was walking back towards the jail cell with batteries tripped and fell right in front of a camera he'd earlier placed on the floor. Whether Stuart was push by a demonic spirit or if it was just a coincidence we'll never know.

Stuart, was manning the camera at the time, he shouted "holy ****, what is that?" and ran to the room at the end of the attic where the doll had been placed. On seeing the eerie toy, he screamed "no way! The doll's on fire!"

While at the infamous poltergeist house, 30 East Drive, Stuart was involved in another terrifying incident, this time with Karl Beattie. Yvette and the rest of the team were filming downstairs when they heard a scream upstairs.

It turns out that the source of the scream was Stuart who dropped his camera and cried in pain after feeling something on his arm. But it wasn't just Stuart in pain, Karl was also in agony too.

When Yvette and the gang joined them, they turned the lights on in the bedroom to find that both of them had identical marks on their arms which looked like rope burns. After calming down, Stuart said, "it's actually hot, it's burning."

Yvette said that over time the marks worsened and we were shown photos of some quite gruesome looking burn marks on Stuart and Karl's forearms.

It was Stuart who was the first to spot a ghostly figure in the 2017 series in the stables, a wing of Wentworth Woodhouse, a Grade I listed country house in the village of Wentworth, South Yorkshire.

Karl, who was with Stuart at the time, caught the apparition on camera. Yvette described the clip as the show's "most groundbreaking footage" to date.
