Nick Howes I think I can give you some serious insight on this ridiculous show. A friend of mine, a prolific author of books on ghosts, himself featured on this old show early-on (still accessible, for example, on YouTube) said he was called by producers complaining that they couldn't get anybody to return their calls. The show was very popular and they wanted to continue. He told them "no reputable ghost hunter will talk to you because you lie about everything." The show intermixed local experts with hired actors and passed them all off as authentic then twisted the facts to make it fit their agenda. The story about haunted Alton, IL, as one example, claims that limestone from the original old Confederate prison cannibalized for use throughout the community is responsible for the hauntings. No one has ever suggested such a connection! Why not stick with the facts? How about the occasional apparent dazed homeless person in rags wandering the parking lot around the prison ruins asking a passerby "where am I?" then disappearing. That's pretty cool. The agenda, of course, is the usual Hollywood agenda -- not "is it factual" but "does it make a good story for TV?" Anyway, that's why this show folded and is only seen in occasional reruns. By the way, they should have emphasized the narrator was Poltergeist's Zelda Rubernstein -- I always thought it was some kid who was trying to sound "spooky" which only made it amusing.

donbro62 It's too bad the show was canceled. Unintended or not, it was one of the funniest shows on TV. The real hoots came when the participants got "tough" by yelling and threatening the "ghosts." Where did they find these people; cast-offs from the other inane "reality" shows perhaps. It's an interesting concept though the manufactured scares are as laughable as the occasional false bravado. The show takes full advantage of the confusion between being startled and frightened. At least Linda Blair still looks good. Ah well, at least SciFi kept those buffoons on Ghost Hunters, who on a good day are at least as scared and funny, especially that guy who has a phobia list longer than Tony Shaloub's 'Monk' character, though he's not afraid of "ghosts." Too funny.

spikelovesbuffy2002 Now i have watched alot of episodes of this and it is really scary the stuff you see in it just scared the hell out of you they visit the most freakey places like castles from the 1800's haunted houses places that were built over graveyards watch this show if your dare cause this show is really scary!

zofa The locations, the cameras, the scares, even the show's tag line involving the word "dare" -- total rip of MTV's Fear. The only original thought this show has is to use a host - Linda Blair. And she's cool.Oh.. and the other thing different from Fear. This show stages stuff. (as they admit to in the credits).I guess if your jonzing for Fear and it's not on, this show's not a bad way to waste some time.
