The Haunted

I liked this show far better than many of the others. It doesn't show any dramatic reenactments to scare the viewer and it allows the witnesses to tell the story without any presumptions as to how much or how scary the event was to make it seem more frightening. They focus on the real people and animals without relying heavily on actor portrayal. And the best part? They actually show the real evidence! I'd rather watch this any day over other programs such as A Haunting or investigative shows like Ghost Hunters or Ghost Adventures where they don't find anything and jump at every little noise.

While the series depicts the sensitivity of animals, it also depicts a lot of glossed-over animal neglect. If you feed and water, you're awesome. One day, there's an unexpected issue, and the next day, they're dead. It displays how animal "lovers" fail to recognize the sentient nature of their pets; and how long they ignore their misery. They watch them suffer and die and blame the paranormal. If you had an infestation of vermin or insects that threatened health, you would hopefully protect your children. But the "babies" that everyone professes to love like children ...

This series is very interesting as to the question of the paranormal, but it ignores the plague of animal abuse, neglect and hoarding.

I'm not sure why it's rated so low. It's a entertaining show, similar to A Haunting, I recommend it to fans of A Haunting.

The story, the acting, none of it's bad. I personally think it's great that we have shows like these on TV.

I think the show has a low rating simply because people do not believe in the super natural and don't think it's scientific enough to be featured on the Animal Planet channel.

I find it very interesting that animals may be sensitive to the paranormal, but there are people who obviously don't believe in such things and think the shows entirely stupid.

As some one who both likes animals, and the paranormal, I'd say that I'm in the target audience here and I enjoy this show fairly much. Yet, people will judge, even if they don't believe in such things.

At the least, hopefully people who have a interest in such things can be open minded and enjoy this program.
