Holzer Files - Chroniken eines Geisterjägers

It's a whole different take on paranormal experiences. It's great to see them open up old Holzer cases. All the episodes are enticing and full of history and facts and great paranormal activity. Keep them coming!

First of all I want to say that the people who reviewed this show after 1 or 2 episodes, have seriously undercut it. The amount of work/though that has very apparently gone into this show is astonishing. The on-site investigation seems the be the easiest part and that's the way it should be. These guys are really digging into the history of these cases and looking at things from different angles. Dave enunciates because he's got a radio voice. That's bad? The one thing I do have an issue with is the over production part. The beginning back and forth roundtable into meeting needs to be more loose and less scripted. It sets the tone for the whole show and that's misleading people. Dave, your narrating in between segments is terrific. Just change that initial tone at the beginning. Maybe bring in Shane and Cindy for it. Shane is getting more relaxed. He's gonna bring you that "Goodwin" element that's really important. Loosen up big guy.

I liked the concept & execution of this new paranormal show on Travel Channel. It was different than your normal ghost hunting show. It provided much more of the history of a location which always seems to be spookier to me than any kind of "evidence" anyone finds. However I do think its a bit overproduced. For example, we dont need the -cut to- Case Log video diary segments, etc. Just tell the story. Maybe in time some of the forced acting will be evened out too. But I like this new entry. I'll watch again.

It's pretty well done but there's one aspect I cannot stand. Most of the time they do not point out video evidence. Almost always I have no idea what they're seeing. Why they don't point the evidence out with a white arrow like other ghost hunting shows is beyond me.

The use of scientific equipment to demonstrate "science" is yet again so overplayed. They find two maybe three evidentiary snippets and then decide the case is solved and boss man stows the file away in a safe. What was accomplished? They're never actually clear. Why is there never anything that witnesses see like full apparitions or demons? I think we know why.
