Ciel DuMort It seems that early voting came in fast and furious for Haunted Highway from viewers who were either not really that into this genre and/or from those who have been conditioned to watching paranormal hunting shows that have been commercially and professionally filmed, edited & produced.Unfortunately for viewers who matched up with the above, many probably never watched another episode beyond the first before entering their rating, and then summarily probably just never watching the show again. Given that as of this review the bulk of the ratings came in right after the first episode, with only a trickle coming in later, this is probably this case.As has been mentioned by others who have actually taken the time to write up a review, Haunted Highway is *extremely raw* - this is not the usual kind of reality television shown on SyFy. The genuinely heart-pounding action that takes place in the world of Haunted Highway does so without the added benefit of much dramatic pre-planning, professional film crews, and such.Jael De Pardo and Devin Marble bring their energetic professionalism over to Haunted Highway from the well known Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files. These two have amazing chemistry, and pull no punches during their investigations together.Jack Osbourne brings a refreshingly candid skepticism not really seen on paranormal TV shows since Jason Hawes' early Ghost Hunter days. Not known for her interest in the paranormal, Osbourne's very sharp investigations partner, Dana Workman, brings a sort of surrealism to each case they explore together.One final thing. I won't say which exact case, as I do not want to cause any sort of spoiler, but there was one in particular that was just... astounding. I put it right up there with the 2006 "St Augustine Lighthouse" Ghost Hunters Season 2 Episode 219 in terms of quality. Maybe even BESTING it! If Haunted Highway comes back for a second season our household will definitely be watching.

yellowdevel Ghost Hunters, Ghost Adventures, Destination Truth, and Haunted Highway. One of these shows is different, one of these shows doesn't have a camera crew. That show would be Haunted Highway. The fact that the Haunted Highway team doesn't have a production crew following them around on their hunts makes for a more dramatic show, with a better foot in reality than other paranormal reality shows. That doesn't necessarily mean that the shows aren't good, it's just that Haunted Highway grasps attention better than, say, Destination Truth, a show which keeps me wondering what parts are fabricated for the cameras, and what's unscripted. I've been a HUGE fan of Destination Truth since the beginning, but the atmosphere is utterly non-existent in contrast to Haunted Highway. The smaller 2-person teams, the choice of cryptids, all make the show that much better.Jack Osbourne is a wise man. He knows his ghosts, and he knows his cryptids. He will be on the hunt, looking for evidence, but he won't try to fool you. He has the ability to say that not every investigation comes up clean, not every place is haunted, and not every cryptid is more than legend. That being said, sorry about the sclerosis, Jack! :(Jael and Devin have experience from being on Fact or Faked, and Jael has also previously been on Destination Truth. She's as professional as you can get in the monster-hunter world.If you haven't seen Haunted Highway, I suggest you give it a shot. It's not for everybody, but for the believers out there..

losinglouie I caught a glimpse of a trailer, and liked the concept. When I saw Dana I was hooked. She is gorgeous, and should be featured much more. Please don't take her off. I like that the show focuses on a mix of monsters, ghosts and legends; not just pure ghost stories. I also like that there is an element of danger in that there is no large production company at their side. The equipment they use is cool and I find no problem with the hand held shots, although the running scenes can be a bit silly. I keep thinking look our for that tree. Do they really go out into the wild with nothing but a buck knife? Seems hard to believe when they have encountered Bobcats and such. In any event, its a fun show, and the kids like to try to decide if any of the encounters are real or not. The people they interview are a hoot. But,really, Dana is the reason I watch. More of her and less of the goofy girl who is always saying the stupid stuff to would be ghosts like "do we anger you?". Sorry about the M.S.; tough break man.

kralnor warlockrox Nice show. Love the overall style. Somehow jack and crew managed to make an original looking and styled paranormal investigation show. Plus, I would tune in weekly to watch jael depardo read the phone book.I have to admit I wasn't expecting much. I mean, how can here be another one of these damn shows?? I'm glad to report this show comes off nothing like the others of its ilk. Very little forced humor, very few (maybe none?) Distracting post- production sound effects, which I appreciate greatly after every episode of ghost hunters now opens with a failed evp it seems.Definitely recommended add to your ghost hunters/ destination truth /fact or faked line up.
