Featured reviews
This documentary went on far longer than necessary. It was overly repetitive, with the same information being presented multiple times. While it is sometimes necessary to remind the audience of something previously presented, it happens so frequently that I would pause to ensure I didn't accidentally restart the video, as much of the information was already covered. This could have been cut in half, and even then, it would still contain a lot of repetitiveness.
I enjoy watching this type of video for the witness accounts, in particular. If memory serves me correctly, there were only a couple of first responders who shared their experiences (which were very limited) and one or two students. Yet these students aren't the ones that claimed to be possessed or witnessed some of the supposed paranormal acts (like the girl levitating).
By the end, I didn't feel compelled to believe that this had happened (as claimed in the video) or that it was even remotely close to the truth of what had actually occurred (as presented in the documentary). It sounds more along the lines of mass hysteria, and I wish they would have discussed that as a potential option for more than just a couple of minutes or so at the very end (which they, of course, quickly shut down to explain why it had to be paranormal). I am not saying that there wasn't anything paranormal involved, but I don't believe any of the 'proof' claiming that it was. It feels less 'unexplained' and more like it was overexplained to fit a narrative.
This felt like a waste of my time and would have only been marginally better by being shorter or by containing some compelling proof/information. In the end, I just felt like it was a case of mass hysteria that took on the role of a paranormal urban legend of sorts.

In 1979, police and firefighters responded to what seemed to be a riot at the Miami Aerospace Academy.
Was it a prank carried too far, a rebellion by abused students, a hypnotism demonstration gone wrong, or a widespread mass possession? Maybe some or all of the above? I have no idea, the excessive hearsay and conjecture made it difficult to determine what actually happened.
This really doesn't deserve a lengthy review. It's just another sensationalized Shock Docs episode that twists facts to suit a biased narrative, relying more on dramatization than well-researched evidence, and raises far more questions than it answers. I'm not saying that nothing paranormal happened, just that this particular account didn't convince me it did. It can't even be used as a drinking game for every time they say "demonic" because most people would die of alcohol poisoning.
