Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files

First of all, forget all you read before about this show in previous reviews.

This show is fun to watch, it tells you about videos/pictures/stories out there about the mysterious that you might not have heard before, and they go out there and investigate some of them.

I never really believe anything they come to conclusion because really, it could be ANYTHING, but it is definitely a very fun show to watch. I've seen both seasons out now (they are also up on Netflix) and honestly, if you like "the mysterious" stuff out there, you should sit and watch it.

At least it's genuinely entertaining instead of the Ghost Hunters crap and anything alike.

I love all flavors of paranormal shows even yours providing insight if something might be fake!! You definately show how it could be fake but you can't prove it really is fake and your team doesn't say that! You can create what was seen and recorded but that only means that it is possible someone faked the whole thing! The thing I'm saying is it still could be paranormal/Alien!? Thank you for listening, Linda

I'm at a loss. I really am. I've read the other reviews on this show and I have to remind myself that we are talking about the same program. I had just looked up the Josh Gates show 'Destination Truth' which, correctly, received applause and I had expected the same here. Fact or Faked is a hugely entertaining, well researched, comprehensive look at the paranormal, cryptozoology, Ufology and the general unexplained. The program looks at these phenomenon without bias and I love the fact that they never ridicule anything, everything is possible. For those of you who enjoy Bigfoot, Ghosts, Lake monsters, Aliens, Conspiracy theories or if you simply enjoy the very lovely Jael De Pardo, then Fact or Faked is an absolute must.

A group of straight unsuperstitious people set out to prove these supernatural/paranormal videos are fake. Simple premise - dumb but entertaining.

Unlike awful paranormal investigation shows this one tries to prove real "evidence" is fake as opposed to lolling in the dark for 50% of the episode and using the other 50% for an unfulfilling context dump. The show is best when they debunk it as quick as possible. Some of their attempts to replicate the footage can be dumbfounding, but hilarious.

Sometimes after failing to prove it is fake, they'll do a "paranormal investigation" from which they always get nothing from. Luckily it's heavily edited, unlike most boring ghost shows.

Nothing on TV? Put this on, it kills time effectively and it's quite addictive and engaging. Give it a go, don't expect much.

When this show first aired I think on SyFy Channel, I loved it.

Upon recently watching reruns on Destination America, I've come to realize that these people were trying way too hard to be the paranormal MythBusters.

It's OK, but not as amazing as I once thought.
