A lot of the alleged CCTV disappearing animals and people has to do with the type of cameras used. Some cameras have a time delay of a few seconds, where the camera records for a bit then pauses for a couple seconds. When playing back, it appears seamless but the skipping will cause moving targets (people, animals) to seem to disappear when they are simply being obliterated out of vision. Looking closely, the animals outlines can often be seen after they seem to have disappeared, and if the entire clip was played, they would then seem to "reappear". The same is true of CCTVs used in Japan and showing people disappearing in telephone booths etc.

More and more, this production is featuring the same handful of ghost hunters who allegedly are not part of the cast. Week after week, the same contributors are interviewed for 20 minutes at a time while they repeatedly show their footage which does not feature anything paranormal; those people are not sharing video of ghosts, entities or invisible activity, but simply start screaming that they're being attacked by an invisible ghost, and somehow this has become good enough for the production to present to its docile and non-objecting audience.

Many of this show's shared videos have been debunked in Strange Evidence, the TV show of the Science Channel. On Tuesday September 5th 2023 they debunked the video of the woman in England who claimed her dead black cat appeared on her couch seemingly out of nowhere; this was recreated by scientists who proved that it was the change from night vision to regular daytime filming that caused this seeming apparition caused by whatever stuffed toy she had on her couch. Furthermore, the woman was not even looking at the couch when she walked in, and the armrest would have blocked her view.

In the 2023-2024 seasons, the show has taken to showcasing the same handful of YouTubers who call themselves paranormal investigators, but the brunt of their videos is making a spectacle of themselves by screaming very loudly and over-exaggeratedly, often while running away from a ghost, but nothing paranormal whatsoever is shown on-camera. The latest production hires for PCOC expect viewers to take this at face value. Some of these new recruits include CJ Faison; the bald guy who claims he was trapped by a ghost in closet and started crying; Chris, the Black man who claimed that ghosts were running past him (this could be audio added post-prod) and Kalcee, the broad who keeps claiming that ghosts are touching her or that she sees shadows, while nothing is seen on video. Those people appear to simply be trying to become famous and glean more subscribers. If Chris had one interesting video of a couple of mothmen eyes in a tunnel, for some bizarre reason, this show keeps on airing the others' nothingburger videos. The gig appears to bring comfortable remuneration: in his latest appearance, CJ Faison claimed he was filming from his newly purchased "haunted" house.

This show appears to have been canceled sometime in Fall 2023, as no new episodes ever aired in 2024 nor 2025. As is typical with the Travel Channel, no announcement was ever made. However, the more than 1 year hiatus would indicate that a cancellation is the case. In fact, no new episodes of any show whatsoever aired on the Travel Channel in 2024, nor have there been any trailers showcasing any upcoming TV shows whatsoever. They appear to be coasting on nothing but reruns.
