bearsfaneva I love most things paranormal. Especially if it doesn't put me to sleep. This is one of the better paranormal shows out there. Not only is it entertaining, it also has an educational side to it. I'm just a little confused about them advertising a new season on Destination America. I looked for new episodes and all I see is episodes from past seasons as far back as 2010. Is their really new episodes or not? Did they just change the network and call it new? I do hope they will come out with more seasons. Too many good shows get cut these days. I watch many paranormal shows. This ranks about number 2 or 3 in my top 10 favs.
clanced started off on the wrong foot with stock footage of a fishing village standing in for Halifax, the largest community in the province. Purported to tell the story of 'Veith House' a former orphanage in the north end of Halifax, the show used some unknown generic building that has zero resemblance to the actual site, at least look for some stock pictures, there are plenty online. Veith house is a community centre, it stands on the site of the Protestant Orphanage destroyed in the 1917 Halifax Explosion, it is rumoured to be a 'haunted location' because of the staff and children killed when the house was destroyed. The presentation of The details of the Halifax Explosion and the link to the location were scant and inaccurate. Presented in the first person about the speakers experiences in the house, acceptable. The inaccuracies not acceptable. As a lifelong resident of the area portrayed, having spent countless hours in and around the location, I have to say this is One of the worst episodes yet.
morganshs99 I've watched G.E. many times, hoping for a nice scare. I'm always disappointed. The format consists of sitting a nice Canadian down in a chair in an empty studio and just letting them talk about their "ghostly encounters" which, frankly, seem kind of boring. I think it might be better if they edited the monologues to be shorter, and add more dramatization. Maybe have 3 stories per episode instead of 2, and move things along a little faster. If you've ever seen the show "I Survived", that has a similar format: sitting real people down and letting them talk. But "I Survived" is absolutely riveting compared to "Ghostly Encounters", and doesn't even involve ghosts.
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.
