Hotel Paranormal

This is one of the worst ghost reenactment productions from the Travel Channel: it has bottom of the barrel production values and by that I mean it's the cameraman's fault and the editor's, or whomever told them to film in this way: every time there's an evil entity, the camera zooms past them really fast, so that you cannot see anything beyond a blurry black mass, and that's the most important thing when making a ghost show!! So if you cannot see the entity, it's not scary it's not horror and it's renders this show completely useless.

Every time I watch it, I can't wait for the commercial so I can take care of stuff and every time the commercial ends I'm annoyed that it ended so quickly; that's how bad this show is LOL.

The narrator's nasal voice is unpleasant and all around horrible, shouting his lines with a silly affected intonation that does not work at all with this show; so imagine my surprise when I figured out it's one of my favorite actors, Dan Akroyd! Every time I try to watch this show it's so boring I find myself distracted on the computer, like it's on right now and that's what I'm doing.

All the recreation scenes seem to be bathed in a golden light, which makes me wonder what possessed somebody to throw a bucket of camel urine at the camera.

There is no scare factor here whatsoever, and the filming is totally boring and not entertaining at all. The cuts to the interviewees are too much! They happen way too often and kill the momentum. Whoever created this show doesn't know how to create a show: everything about this production is horrible and none of the stories are thus interesting in the way they're presented.

And this is coming from a reviewer who, throughout my life, happens to have rented 3 different hotel rooms that were extremely haunted, so that's why this was interesting to me. Look, I wouldn't even care if the stories are fake, as long as you entertain me, that's all I ask, but this is absolutely unwatchable because it is boring AF.

Excellent in every way, especially as they are true stories told by the people that experienced horrific events..

Although I have experienced a paranormal event at a hotel famous for having a ghost, I watched this show expecting to learn something, or even just where other hotels have such events. Although this series could have taken a legitimate path, I can say as a fact that they, at best, exaggerate and embellish if not make up the events. It seems as if they might be combining events from other properties in with the hotel they're profiling. Ask yourself, for example, why they do not actually name the hotel specifically. Just "a hotel in the southeast" for example. Before my own experience, I considered 95% of these stories to be fake. I still do, and programs like this are the reason. Usually someone is trying to sell you something. In this case (as with all such programs) it's ratings and advertising dollars. And hey, at least some B-grade actors get a little work for a while. Watching this series is generally a waste of time. It's not entertaining, and definitely not fact-based. It's easy enough to Google hotels known for ghosts. Go. Take a trip. Stay in one. You may or may not have an experience, but your time will be better spent than watching this crap.

What a shame Sandrea Mosses was chosen to "commentate" as the show progresses. This old biddy is totally useless, and obviously has no idea what she talking about. It spoils the show that I have to sit with my finger on the fast forward button every time she opens her mouth to say something totally irrelevant. At least the other commentators seem to have some sort of knowledge of what the subject is about. Please, get rid of this woman, who's voice sounds like he's on balloon gas!

Dan Ackroyd has an irritating voice also, almost as if he doesn't believe a word which is being said by the participants in the program.

Well writen, represented and the narrator is the best. Keep going. Great work. The scenarios are very well represented. The photography is excellent. But just as I said, the narration is no doubt the best part.
