Most Haunted Live on the Summer Solstice of 2004 came from Derby, renound as the 'Dead' centre of Britain. The team visit the mysterious fallen stone circle of Arbor Low, a site of unique archaeological and cultural interest thought to be constructed in around 2500 BC. The crew also return to investigate Derby Gaol, while the climax to the event takes place at the magnificent Elvaston Castle, built in 1817 for the 3rd Earl of Harrington and home to an multitude of ghosts from a troop of phantom 'Roundhead' soldiers and a mysterious white lady in the graveyard.

NIGHT 1 began with an early visit to the mysterious stone circle of Arbor Low, where Derek made a remarkable suggesting that he felt the stones were in some way connected to extra-terrestrial activity, believing them to have been intended as some kind of beacon to the heavens. Strangely enough the team also caught a strange hovering light in the sky at that very moment. The crew then moved on to the house belonging to reverend and renowned astronomer John Flamsteed. Here some unexplained sounds were caught on tape but little else of any significance. The team then visited the Derby Silk Mill which now serves as an industrial museum, where the team experienced some strange activity in the Mill’s disused lift. Yvette got trapped in a lift which is stopped by ghosts and Derek became very stressed at some spirits. The opening night culminated with a visit to Derby's reputedly most haunted pub, ‘The Dolphin Inn’, dating back to around 1530. Here both Yvette and Jon started to feel sick while Cath suggested she had felt as if she had been touched by something.
NIGHT 2 began with a visit to McCluskey's Club where the crew managed to pick up some anomolous EMF readings. The investigation then moved on to the infamous Derby Gaol which the team had already visited during the 1st series of Most Haunted. Here Derek became possessed while a few strange unexplainable sounds were picked up. The night concluded with a visit to the Friary Hotel which was built on the site of an old monastery. Here the crew experienced strange smells similar to body odour, while a strange experience affected Derek when he lost his sight for a short period of time.
NIGHT 3 concluded the investigation with a vigil at the impressive Elvaston Castle. Here the crew experienced some strange, possibly poltergeist activity. Initially during the walk-around the team returned to a room where a number of cardboard boxes appeared to be neatly piled up on the floor, however some members of the crew distinctly recalled that the boxes were originally laid out in another part of the room only minutes prior to them being found. When the investigation moved downstairs a loud crash was heard from the hallway, and upon investigating the sound it appeared that some masonry had fallen from the stairway just missing a member of the crew. A number of anomalous lights were also caught an camera, while Derek underwent another possession, this time by a kindly spirit who revealed significant information about the castle which was all historically verified.
