Micransix Crappy film

Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Sub Rock I love investigation of mysterious and spooky phenomena. But, if there's not a hint of realism to it, then it puts me off.This show is pure garbage. The back stories are slightly interesting and then, this hokey "psychic" shows up to make it all a big steaming pile of ............ you know.I would put this show into the same category as "Finding Bigfoot", in which everything that makes a noise in the woods is quickly identified as a "SQUATCH!" Hokum.There are a proliferation of shows such as this, so apparently many people are like me and interested in the paranormal. It's a shame there are more quality shows out there. This show does not rate as quality.I won't bother turning this crap on again. It's terrible.

tsimm97 I so agree with your opinion. It is presented very bare bones, with little explanation. Much better than the other voyeuristic ghost hunting shows. Well worth watching. I read some comments from some who believe they have the 'scientific' explanation to what these people experienced, such as with the 'Hag' story. I was thinking also that she probably was experiencing sleep paralysis until she mentioned her roommate telling her about the/a spirit with her telling the roommate. I would not classify myself necessarily a True Believer or nonbeliever. I try to look at the situation with an open but rational mind, not being bound to my world view. I would just say, things are sometimesnot as easily classified and explained as we would like.

ksmorris-1 I find "Ghostly Encounters" to be very smart television entertainment. The show's producers use an empty, paint-peeling loft space (well lit natural light permitted by by large floor to ceiling windows typical of most loft space) as a setting for the host's narratives and probably also where the sit-down interviews with Ontarians who have had ghostly encounters takes place. The setting is cost-effective for production, and it works for the content. Very smart. In addition to production cost savvy, the program sells itself to viewers by emphasizing content over special effects or other "boogy boogy" factors that make other programs of the same genre unbearably boring. The program's producers seem to be able to locate credible Ontarians who are willing to go on air and tell the story of their experiences in a credible, rational manner. The producers seem to be very effective in screening out "experiencers" who may have psychological problems. I've only seen one story teller(experiencer) on "Ghostly Encounters" who I thought might have a psychological issue. What's interesting about these experiences, in general, is that rational people have them. And, in this instance, the events are occurring fairly close to home. I actually happen to meet someone in a bank queue who was personally familiar with the haunting prolems people had reported in Vaughn near the Indian burial grounds. That "in Ontario" factor makes the show particularly interesting. "Ghostly Encounters" reports the experiences (whatever make actually be causing them) in an unembellished narative format that is smart in that it counts on the content being unique enough to hold a viewer's interest. It usually is. The host's narrator (Laurecne Chau) puts a very sober and intelligent face on the program. Is it my imagination, or does Laurence Chau's demeanor seem a lot like that of Rod Serling? It's a shame the program doesn't seem to be attracting enough production money to have done more than 2 season's worth of shows. It's refreshing and relaxing entertainment.

meganisis Contains a Spoil of how the Show works! :O This particular show is one that I personally find annoying. They put people of all ethnicities and walks of life into a room with a spotlight shining on them and then ask them to tell the camera about their 'Ghostly Encounters'.Sometimes the encounters are rather interesting, but no matter what there are usually ways to disprove the stories, an inconsistency in the story itself or a medical explanation can be provided.Not to say that ghosts and spirits don't exist by no means, but the show is not the greatest to help prove that case.Often the show has re-enactments to obviously make it a little more interesting. These re-enactments are really well done usually, very complete with full details of the surroundings.I wouldn't recommend watching this show all the time but once and a while when there is not a single thing on TV most likely the WNetwork will have it playing.
