Purports to be a documentary of recreated real events, however there are lines that are evidently scripted. For example, every show has someone saying at least once: "all the hair on the back of my neck stood up" and "the temperature dropped and the room got very cold; it was ice cold in there". Everyone who says these same lines, speaks them word for word. This is true of all the similar Travel Channel paranormal topic series. This betrays scripting, and scripting puts in question the veracity of the people's paranormal accounts.
Utilizes at least 6 notes from the Vanessa Williams 1992s hit song "Saved the Best for Last". They are repeated in this show as "mood music" and they can be heard in the song, right before Vanessa sings: "sometimes the snow comes down in June".
Haunted Hospitals only lasted a dozen or so episodes, like similar interviews-reenactment horror series of the Travel Channel. They will advertise their premieres repeatedly, with great fanfare, as if it were their must-see, future hit-series lasting 100's of episodes, but they are soon canceled after merely a handful, without preambles nor so much as an announcement or disclaimer. This has been the case with dozens of similar format Travel Channel shows, including These Woods are Haunted, Fear the Woods, Paranormal 911, Paranormal Nightshift, Paranormal Emergency, Believers, Extreme Believers, Paranormal Witness, Extreme Paranormal Witness, Hotel Paranormal and many others. Since 2024, the Travel Channel has aired no new episodes of any of their horror recreation series and appears to be content broadcasting nothing but perennial re-runs. It is unclear if they ran out of writers or far-fetched ideas for these entertaining shows.
