Haunted & Hallowed - The Derek Acorah Memoir

He saw beyond the veil-but never lost sight of the real world.

In this moving and richly detailed memoir, Gwen shares the extraordinary life of her husband, Derek Acorah-footballer turned psychic medium-whose spiritual journey led from the football pitches of Liverpool to stages and television screens across the world.

Charting Derek's unexpected transformation from aspiring athlete to one of Britain's most famous clairvoyants, this compelling account offers a behind-the-scenes look at the highs and lows of life as a medium. From uncanny childhood visions and spirited grandmotherly guidance to fame on shows like Psychic Livetime and Most Haunted, Derek's story is one of courage, controversy, and conviction.

Told with warmth and honesty, this memoir reveals not just Derek's professional triumphs, but also the toll that spiritual work took on his health, marriage, and wellbeing. A sensitive exploration of belief, loss, intuition, and resilience, it shines a light on the man behind the headlines-flawed, gifted, funny, and deeply human.

For believers and sceptics alike, this is a heartfelt portrait of a man who dared to follow the whispers of the unseen.
