Amish Haunting

If you loved the original A Haunting series, you will LOVE this show. Even the original narrator is back! This is even more true to the original series than the A Haunting reboot.

As for the controversy, sadly, even though it is not intending to portray the Amish in a negative fashion, it is doing so inadvertently through issues like shunning (seriously, how does one NOT get shunned by the bishop). Those that are looking at this show as some kind of anthropological study of the Amish will be disappointed. However, those looking for entertainment true to form of the original series of A Haunting are going to be very pleased.

Another tedious "_____ Amish _____" reality TV series brought to you by the same guy who created "Breaking Amish", "Amish Mafia", "Return to Amish" and a host of other uninteresting series. This uninspired gem repackages the worst of ghost hunting, demonology and Amish life with the eerie pumping, squealing, clanging and pounding sound tracks that bring to mind a family of raccoons let loose in a closet full of unused musical instruments.

There's lots of shunning, family disgrace, and even a "demon camp" (apparently the Amish equivalent of a possessed kid's summer camp.) It's a rich tapestry of clichés likely to last two seasons at best.

I don't know why but I love these stupid shows, it's got a cool angle with the Amish people and some decent effects for its age. I love the goat boy episode🐐. Worth watching if you like these spooky shows. I prefer this to those stupid reality ghost hunter shows. Just appreciate it for what it is and it's only 6 episode's sadly.

Once again, just as in the asinine "Amish Mafia," our kindly Protestant friends are picked on and picked at for no other reason than that they wish to be alone. The Amish are devout Christians who also adhere rather closely to the spirit of the original 613 commandments; as such, they will have absolutely nothing to do with ghosts, spirits, poltergeists, witches (all covered by the Hebrew term "ovoth"), or even the merest suggestions of such phenomena. They stick close to God and distance themselves maximally from the Devil; any other considerations are, well, not considered. Against my better judgment, I watched a second episode, where we learned that (a) tombstones come in all shapes and sizes in an Amish graveyard (WRONG: they're all the same), and (b) electric appliances are not allowed in Amish homes (WRONG: connecting to public power lines is disallowed, but battery power and private water power and such are used regularly). PLEASE avoid this absolute drivel as a courtesy to your conservative neighbors who have never bothered anybody.

I grew up in Lancaster PA. #1 The Amish would NEVER let anyone film them, or take pictures of them. #2 The Amish would NEVER get into a white vehicle for transportation. No WAY would they consider being interviewed on film. They are private people, and live by their own beliefs. This is an unrealistic show about the Amish, and obviously actors are portraying the Amish. Good for the show for making money on a culture they obviously did not get educated on!! Shame on all of you for creating this!!!! How dare the television industry prey on the Amish. They are good people, and although many "English" disagree with their way of living, just leave them alone! If the world came crashing down, the Amish are the ones we would turn to, because they truly do know how to live off the "GRID".
