I love, love this show!! I discovered it one night, where I was living in a creepy old 1920s building in a not so safe area. I turned off the lights, cranked up the a/c and had me the most Halloweenish experience in the middle of the year!
The voice-over makes the show, along with the cool intro credits, bathed in an eerie teal blue light. Production selected a very capable narrator who clearly rises up to the occasion and makes this show very entertaining.
I'd like to point out that this is a show for Zillennials, so yes, all the Travel Channel "interviewee/based on a true story" series are recapping the last 7 minutes shown, after commercial break. (Not sure how that would fare in a DVD without commercials? Might be weird!) And yes, I was very upset myself the first time I watched A Haunting (I think that's the first of this kind that I saw on the TC). Yes, it was very unnerving or frustrating, but once I knew what to expect, I relaxed about it. I can take the time to look at my computer screen, grab a bite or go to the loo. It's a pity that there's a lot less show because of that, but they take care of viewers who "tuned in in the middle of the show". (Think Dragnet, where Jack Webb had to tell us, at every single episode intro, that he was a cop and his partner was Gannon, while he was Friday!) Like that.
One thing that I lament: the production must read these reviews here and cancels shows on a whim. Please don't! Millions will not make an IMDb account. Millions won't vote. Millions don't leave reviews. I represent millions who are thoroughly entertained by this show. Please, please: we NEED entertaining shows like these. They are very spooky without gore. Perfect! (I like to be thrilled and spooked, not grossed out!)
Other similar shows that came and went but need to give us many more episodes: Paranormal 911. Paranormal Emergency. Paranormal Witness (though that's SyFy channel!) Believers. Extreme Paranormal Witness/Believers. A Haunting. My Haunted House. My Horror Story and (maybe) Haunted Hospitals. (I always get bored watching that last one!)
I hope the production reconsiders. IDK if they'll ever go back to reviews of 4 year old shows, but come on now! 4 idiots leaving negative reviews do NOT represent America! When we love something, we are guilty of not leaving reviews, we are often only moved when we are discontented.
Kudos to the production and PLEASE MAKE MORE on time for Halloween. Thank you! (Please rate YES if you agree, and what a pity that this website doesn't allow non-users without account to vote reviews. THAT would accurately reflect America's opinion!)
