This is your standard TV ghost story show that, unfortunately, tells the same story over and over again, but there is something I love about this show (more on that later).
People are "interviewed" about what they experienced, actors reenact events. After a while you realize the interviewees are actors too, which takes away from it. Also, the interviewees seem to be better actors than the ones doing the reenactments, oddly enough. Although it's not hard to see why, they are not bad, they are mind blowingly bad. I feel like the director just sits off camera yelling "look scared!" All day while filming, because that's the level of interaction you get. But what's great?
1 thing.
There's an episode in season 1 where a gay couple is being haunted. As I watched I stopped it several times to point out to my wife that the re-enactment actors didn't resemble their counterparts at all...and then I realized I had it switched, THIS WAS THE BEST / WORST THINV IVE EVER SEEN! Literally one guy is bearded with glasses representing a short bald heavy set guy. You have to see it to believe it. And be faded when you do, it'll save your life. It's so, so funny.
Gay haunted couple gets a star. Otherwise, crap show.

Just discovered this show on Netflix and have watched most of the episodes that are currently available, and while it is entertaining and less overdone than the series 'A Haunting' the re-use of various locations makes for a distracting experience after you've seen the same house used in exterior shots in different episodes. The actors in the re-creations are sometimes difficult to differentiate from each other as well, especially in the episode with the gay couple where the actors clearly should have been cast as the other going by what the 'survivors' actually looked like. If the so-called survivors are not also just actors participating in a scripted 'reality' show the tales are quite interesting but could be better re-created.

Ridiculous. The only saving grace (barely) is the interview segments with the actual witnesses. Everything else is laughable. Same locations being used over and over for different stories, actors who don't even remotely resemble the actual people, cheesy sound effects, cheesy visual effects... pretty much par for the course. And where's the evidence that witnesses keep telling us about? We keep hearing about video / pics / EVPs but instead of the actual evidence all we get is corny overly dramatic recreations. The only real entertainment value is laughs.

I have seen several episodes of this programme (I am watching an episode as I type) and very often the "survivors" claim to have installed CCTV in rooms and basements and captured footage of things being thrown about, entities, taps turning on etc etc. Never does this programme show any of the footage. In the episode I am currently watching a couple who own a tattoo shop claim their CCTV captured their shop being trashed by a ghost one night, and that photographs taken in the basement captured a large threatening figure at the far end of the basement. Guess what? The footage and photos are never revealed. Instead the programme provides a ridiculously laughable reconstruction of what the "survivors" claim they captured on CCTV/camera. The claimed footage/photos would be gold, a smoking gun, near irrefutable proof. Why is it never shown? Because it never happened. This programme is so fake, and so dull. And please, do not say that people lose things over time. Not that kind of stuff and not by every "survivor". Dire indeed.
