My Ghost Story

A chair on wheels with air pressure spins a few inches. It's a ghost! I could easily make a show better than this. Cheesy show.

My dog has a physical reaction to this show. I am on S3E7, he whines at the TV. Not every episode so when I went back to watch it, thinking it has been whole week since I watched on Discovery+ my yorkie Prince would be alright I gave him a calming Peanut butter treat so we shall see. He does like watching TV and this show is not violent to watch. They say dogs sense evil because on the episodes that talk about possession or evil spirit, he gets upset. I love binging this show and so does my husband. The last season was in 2013, hope they can come back so I can see if my dog will react the same way. I'm gonna keep watching it and hold his little paw.

Since 2010, the Biography channel documentary series "My Ghost Story" (apparantly renamed this most recent season as "My Ghost Story: Caught on Camera", and based on two specials from 2008 called "My Ghost Story: Hauntings Revealed") is a fiendish, frightening and compelling reality- series for believers in the paranormal. It is one of several paranormal- themed reality/documentary series on the channel, and is arguably the best. Not only does it thrill audiences, but it also is quite comprehensive, and will often go into theories about ghosts/how they function/potential evidence, etc.

Each episode is broken down into a few segments, generally lasting 5-10 minutes each. Each story provides interviews with the ones who experience the paranormal activity, in addition to dramatic re- creations. However, most of the stories also give us good amounts of the back-story of each allegedly-haunted location and who has lived there, and almost always, we are given photographic, audio or even video evidence from the witnesses. This is part of what makes this series so compelling, especially for believers like myself.

The production is also very strong. Re-creations are well-made, the editing is top-notch. The atmosphere and music are first-rate. This is a very competently put-together series.

However, even as a believer, I have to seriously question some of the things on this show. Particularly, some of the evidence presented as fact on the show is highly debatable. (I'll vomit if I see another "orb" photos, because they are so easy to fake or confuse with dust in the air) Also, there is some stretching of evidence, and some severe pseudo-science that drives me nuts. This is a problem with most paranormal-themed shows- because paranormal is not definable by modern science, there has to be a certain amount of conjecture and theory, and it's sometimes hard to take some ideas seriously, even as a believer.

All that being said, though, "My Ghost Story" is an incredibly eerie and unsettling series. While it will be hard for skeptics to take seriously, I'd highly recommend this series to my fellow believers. It gets a very strong 9 out of 10 from me. Check it out, preferably in the dark, by yourself or with someone you can nestle up to when the chills run down your spine...

From production to the one's interviewed this was the most shody work done and people out of their dang basement could have produced something better. The one's telling the stories seem stuck in the 60/70's and/or on illegal psychedelic drugs. The stories are so short that you can't really even get what they are trying to show you or tell you. For one's living in these place's, they sure get like NO proof of anything beside's some dirty blurry glass or pic's taken. Think these people are one's to buy into their own lies. Let alone llike all of the would really know or have proper equipemnt to do a ghost hunt?? Yeah more like they are messing with things they shouldn't if they happen to have something real there. I think my unborn grandchild could have done something better...lol...
