Haunted

As the title suggests, this is a show about people with untreated PTSD... All of them have experienced something traumatic at a young age, and now they see ghosts.

Really, instead of exploiting them on TV, these people should be offered councelling, or some other forms of help.

The first episode drug me in.... very good, very believable 10/10! The second episode was just the opposite. I just sat there shaking my head... 1/10. I continued to watch the short series hoping for another like episode 1, but all the rest were just somewhere in the middle... Don't waste 3 hours of your life

First of all, You can't look at this from a "where are the facts" kind of way. It doesn't claim to be an investigative series. It's like telling ghost stores around a campfire. It says based on a true story bc the people telling it believe it to be true. Nothing about this show is actually factually based and I believe that to be the point. It's cool cinematography and is a bit scary/troubling. The slaughterhouse episode is outlandish, but it's meant to be taken at face value. Its not a damn documentary, like these people making the other comments are expecting it to be.

Usually Netflix tries to at least keep their original content somewhat interesting or at least decent caliber entertainment, but this show is down right ridiculous on all levels. They focus on "true" haunting accounts that showcase people that I just could just not even attempt to take seriously due to their hysterical demeanor and almost over the top claims that made it seem like they were paid actors to appear actually haunted. Now I'm not saying that some of these people haven't actually been victims of some form of hauntings, but the embellished stories on this show seem like watered down cliche horror shorts that the production team/Netflix came up with to pass as true accounts. The emotions portrayed just don't seem authentic from the people at all and the show overall seems like a cheap addition in time for Halloween. The production value is decently solid for the re-enactments with some ok visuals no matter how ridiculous. The only episode that was at least passable and effective at times was the abduction story which had some genuinely well done visuals and intensity though it might be embellished as well. As a whole, the series is almost more comical than anything.

What made this series so poor was that it is advertised as supposedly true stories based on interviews from the victims. Perhaps the "true story" aspect was intended to make it seem scarier, but in reality, it was a distraction. First of all, as other reviewers are saying, there was no evidence to back up any of these accounts. Second, the stories were so over the top that it was highly unlikely they were true. If they would have left out the true aspect, cut out the interviews, and just made this a scary anthology series of ghost stories, it could be pretty good.
