Paranormal Egypt is a British television series that paired medium Derek Acorah with historian Tessa Dunlop, combining historical research with claimed psychic investigation to examine some of ancient Egypt's most enduring mysteries. The eight-part series aired on LivingTV in 2007, following Acorah's earlier run on Derek Acorah's Ghost Towns.
Format
Each episode paired Dunlop's historical research with Acorah's claimed psychic impressions at a specific ancient Egyptian site or subject, using exclusive access to locations including the Great Pyramid, the Sphinx, and the tomb of Tutankhamun. Episodes addressed specific historical mysteries — including whether Pharaoh Tutankhamun's death involved a conspiracy, how the Great Pyramid was actually built, and the causes behind the collapse of the Amarna period under Akhenaten and Nefertiti — approached through a stated "blend of history and paranormal investigation." Egyptologist Ahmed Seddik appeared as a specialist contributor.
Reception
The series drew a mixed response, with some critics finding the pairing of Dunlop's historical presenting style and Acorah's psychic claims an awkward fit for the subject matter, compared with the more straightforwardly ghost-hunting format of Acorah's earlier television work.
