Haunting in the Heartland

Haunting in the Heartland, aside from Hometown Horror, is the best of the new paranormal programs on television. One way I gauge quality is level of boredom, and each episode is fascinating, well-organized, well-paced, and well-made.

The introduction provides a glimpse or a "hook" to reel you in. The music and photography helps create tension. The house history research is always interesting, and evidence is often compelling, the most of any investigative show. I notice that Shippy also uses the Geoport which I haven't noticed any other investigative group use.

A major strength of the HITH is that the investigator, Steve Shipping combines brains and heart, presenting a very capable and caring person and providing well researched histories of the haunted properties while offering emotional support to his clients and making sure their homes are cleansed of any malicious or negative spirits.
