Meh

If you want a show that is just a ghost story, then this is not to bad. If you want a good paranormal documentary with evidence forget it it's tripe.

Paranormal Activity (2009) all over again

[kaye1118 · 3/10 · 5 February 2023]

Being into paranormal documentaries and shows, this show feels off; 80% of the show seems rehearsed or overexaggerated, and not authentic. It's like it's trying too hard to be real. To me, the only thing(s) that seem legit are the few paranormal events and poltergeist activity. I have changed my rating from 5 to 3, being generous. I say it's like Paranormal Activity (2009) not because it is not found footage, but because it's supposed to seem genuine, when we all really know it's not. A now 10 year old show that is moreso 'thriller & suspense drama' than 'horror' documentary. With just 3 episodes and minimally listed cast/crew listed as 'self', I believe this show is laughable background noise.

FAKE, FAKE, FAKE!!!

Don't waste your time. Here is season 1 episode 1.

Episode 1. Someone cuts their arm with a knife, it's bleeding badly, and they go back to bed. In the morning, they wake up, see the amount of blood in the bed BUT, they do not take them to the hospital, no stitches were needed, police never called, and the knife covered in blood just laying in the kitchen sink. The real catch is, YOU NEVER SEE THE CUT ON THE ARM! NO ONE HAS A BANDAGE ON THEIR ARM, AND THEY ALL ARE FINE!!!

That did it for me, but if you like hokey, this shows for you. If you want real stories. Keep on scrolling by., so much better to find that waste any time on this show like I did!

What is this garbage?

You want to make a scripted show cool. But so trying to sell it as legit. This is so fake. And if it's supposed to be scripted is badly done. Even the "paranormal experts" are pretty hokey. I think the shifting shadows really dumpstered this whole thing. Five minutes into it I knew it was bunk. Even for the horror genre is pretty bad. I'm really getting sick of the mocumentry trope. Only because it's never clearly stated is fake, and in this day and age you goto really get up early to fool people. These half hearted attempts and really pulling down the whole genre. Just stop. I'd rather watch them get half good communications than over the top nonsense.

Fake

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this is all fake too! Especially the 3rd episode. They claim activity has been going on for 4 yrs since he brought home an old car. Then they play "old video" of him bringing home that old car and his family and the children all look the same age!

I'm disappointed A&E. All the paranormal shows that are Soo good that y'all shld be running, you're not. Let's do better. We don't want fake!!

Ghost Hunters, ghost brothers, jack osborns shows, etc etc. So many shows that are better

Or please. Prove to us this is not fake. That it's all legit and I'll change my review.

FAKE!!!

FAKE, FAKE, FAKE!!!!!!! WHY, WHY ,WHY?????

Do these producers of these FAKE PARANORMAL SHOWS really think that were so desperate for paranormal entertainment that they can just churn out any old garbage for us to buy into? I don't understand for the life of me how the hell it's got a 6/10 * rating! I personaly gave it a 1 in the hopes it will go some way towards lowering it so at first glance ppl can tell it's nothing but faked tv for tv sake!

I by the way am a firm believer in the paranormal, i have seen and had physical interactions with ghosts, including seing my grandfather. I am a fan of many paranormal shows which is why i get so pissed when i find one that's so obviously fake.

Umm, yeah. Nope!!

This is so dang fake. Out of all the shows doing paranormal activity, this is just crazy fake. Zak Bagans, in all his 25 seasons, still hasn't caught activity like this. Doors all slamming at the same time, people getting cut and scratched, beds shaking, etc. The teens all use Ouija boards (no wonder the spirits are restless and mean). It's weird because the teenagers look like they're telling the truth about their accounts of the events, but then when the action starts playing, all you can think is "pfft, yeah right". One of the episodes, the home owner does go to the library historian, that seems real.
