Haunted Hospitals

Scared the life out of me specially the young 16 year old boy part !!

Programs that have the actual witnesses tell their stories are my favorite. But the over-the-top dramatizations and "gotcha!" moments to make viewers jump is so unnecessary. A good ghost story doesn't need to be embellished. And what is with the **INCREDIBLY LOUD** background music/effects?!? It completely drowns out the dialogue, and is more annoying than creepy. Tone it down and get rid of the Halloween screampark getups.

The words they use are repeated by different people......."chills", "hair on the back of my neck stood up", "Black as night", "eyes penetrated", "eyes looked right through me", "I thought......but, I was wrong". Also, all "shadow people" don't have to "growl". If you are going try to make this sound authentic, you need to use different writers, with different styles and vocabulary. At a minimum, you need to get input from sources to change it up a little. Using a thesaurus might help. Also, don't go over-the-top with the demon stuff. The more sensation you try to make it sounds, the more ridiculous it becomes. The actors are good, but the writing and crazy stories don't work.

Why do all the ghosts gargle and snare like a choking cat? Really drags you right out of what could have been a potentially entertaining show.

So the Travel Channel recently ran marathons of Paranormal 911 and Haunted Hospitals. Well I like a good ghost story especially if it's told by the people that actually experienced it. Well both of these shows must be produced by the same people (Canadians according to their accents) and were dumb enough to have the same "actor" telling different unbelievable stories. In one he's wearing a 3-piece suit claiming to be a federal policeman for homeland security and in the other he's wearing a knit shirt claiming to work for a funeral home transporting dead bodies. Really??? This stuff is so fake it's pathetic!!
