        One for the spook fans
        HAUNTED PALACE is a documentary short in which a chap by the name of Desmond Shaw, who founded the so-called International Institute for Psychical Research, narrates tales about one of the UK's most famous haunted buildings, Kensington Palace. I admit that I've never heard of Shaw or indeed his institute despite having some basic knowledge of the paranormal, so I took his credentials with a pinch of salt.

        This documentary is very much to the point and clocks in at just over half an hour. It doesn't attempt to recreate too many hauntings on a non-existent budget, but it does shoot at Kensington, which is something. The staged recreations are all very tame and more than a little laughable when watched with the modern mindset. Given that the majority of this production consists of old men talking and narrating to the camera, it doesn't make for very gripping viewing and is a little dull despite the short running time.
