My Paranormal Nightmare

Every freaking episode. Over and over and over and over and ...

This show disappointed me greatly. The stories themselves wreak of falsity and many of the "victims" seem to be selling their services. Exaggeration doesn't even come close to the sheer ridiculousness of these episodes. One person described a goat headed demon with glowing green eyes standing at the foot of her bed. C'mon now. Let's not be ridiculous. Goats? Really? This show is sheer Hollywood. All the interviewees stare at a teleprompter; show zero affect; and their stories are simply not credible. Not to mention the truly bizarre music choices in this show. All of it screams "Money grab!" and "Make it scarier!". It just comes off as short B movies. Thank God for the short part.

Well as a sensitive who has ACTUALLY seen ghosts my whole life I came across this show and was hoping it would be good. It wasn't. You couldn't get a show that was more fake if you tried. Am watching season 2 Episode 3 and the couple can't even decide what the're being possessed by. A black shape, a girl and a tall man! Seriously make up your mind. And if the brothers had had paranormal experiences as children they would not be jumping around like novices. And the ghosts aren't going to leave just because you did some cleaning ritual with holy water. FYI ghosts do not sit around waiting for a film crew to start communicating with them, this concept is laughable. If you want some childish entertainment then watch it otherwise skip.

When recounting their experiences, the interviewees appear to possess no other descriptive words except "I started to get scared" or "I began to get nervous."

And these reactions come long AFTER frightening episodes have happened to them.

After several encounters with the paranormal myself, I have become addicted to the Travel Channel paranormal-ghost recreation shows. Alas, most of them never fail to disappoint. I'll save the trouble! In random order, the very best are:

Paranormal Witness (actually, that's Sy-Fy) Paranormal Survivor A Haunting Paranormal Nightshift Paranormal Emergency Paranormal 911 My Horror Story My Haunted House

Most of them are pretty bad, and disappointingly boring. Those would be:

These Woods are Haunted Hotel Paranormal (in spite of being hosted by Dan Aykroyd!) Haunted Hospitals (in spite of creepy entities) Scariest Night of my Life Believers Anything by Eli Roth

Anyway, I'm aware that a lot of these stories are fake (otherwise, every other house in America/Canada is haunted, as Dead Files would have you believe!) and I'm also aware that if you've never had any paranormal adventure yourself, then this will remain 100% fake for you. No one would have EVER been able to convince me before it happened to me. If anyone had told me it happened to them they were liars, seeking attention or on drugs. No other possibilities. Now, I know better. And yet i'm painfully aware of how impossible it is to make someone believe you.

Watch Paranormal Caught on Camera. If you're able to sift the bogus from the real video clips, you'll find the show fascinating.

This is 4/10 for boring execution, low production values/directing but Lost Souls I pretty much like that one.
