Scariest Places on Earth

I have seen some episodes of this series.

Most of the episodes are questionable and based on second hand eyewitness accounts and there is absolutely no attempt to get a balancing neutral/critical opinion. It is the paranormal equivalent of Von Daniken.

I noted a particularly laughable episode on "ghosts of the colosseum" where a pyshcic with a lenghth of string comes to the conclusion that he "can feel" a ghost somewhere in the dungeons and finally "it" leads him to a street (somewhere else) where "it" was apparently buried. I mean who the hell is this guy and how do you know it is true? Then there are a whole bunch of "paranormal investigators" with infrared scanners and electromagnetic detectors claiming they see ghosts and presences everywhere and we just have to take their word for it.

There are pics caught on cam of people running scared when they "felt" the presence of a spirit. These people have been already hyped up by being told the place is haunted and there is a ghost waiting for them somewhere. There is no effort to go back and analyse what happened or interview the people involved. All the episodes follow this pattern: shallow and full of tricks.

This is one of the best shows(and the scariest shows) that have ever been on TV. I must say, the first episode I saw with the Jersey Devil, the possessed prison and the castle,scared the mess out of me.

Since then I was addicted. The best episode in my opinion was "Return to Chillingham". Damn, I coulden't even sleep that night.

ABC has since taken over the once great FOX Family and gotten rid of the show. In it's place is a buch of crap,such as "Switched",and reruns of "Full House". They diden't even do the 13 days of halloween this year. I don't use the word hate to often,but I really ,truley hate ABC.They destroyed what was once the finest show and channel on television.

As far as SPOE is concerned,I don't care at all what everyone else says,this show was the BEST,and knowone can tell me otherwise.

I normally don't write in, but I worked on Scariest Places, and these people were truely scared out of their wits. The hard part was taping what they were scared of - hence most of the footage is of them just screaming - but a couple of them got so scared they pee'd their pants. Imagination, maybe. But these people were not faking. They saw something, and yes, they were scared.

In recent years we have lost Unsolved Mysteries, Sightings, Haunted Lives, Paranormal Borderline and several more good shows which discussed true ghost stories. Hosted by Linda Blair and narrated by the creepy voice of Zelda Rubenstein, this show is definitely going to give you nightmares with its shaky angles, out of focus shots and provoking images as it goes in search of ghosts through some of the most haunted houses and edifices on the earth, and takes families to some of the most frightening places in the world to find spirits more unnerving than anything in the movies. Even if you don't believe in such things, this is the show for you.

Okay I would just like to verify that it is NOT fake! I LIVE in Athens Ohio one of the places featured and it is all real. Every story is real. It may look like it isn't real, but it is. Many people that live in these places can definitely verify that these are real. Maybe in other places it isn't but I know that at least in Athens its all 100% Grade A real! I would recommend this because its really awesome and scary. Well at least it was for me since I live in the town, but anyone can get creeped out by these. My favorite was the scariest the one in the torture chamber in England...that was scary! So I think that if one can get this TV series you should definitely watch it. It really is enjoyable!
