Paranormal Survivor

I am amused by people's ghost stories. This program uses dramatizations to portray a personal experience, and "paranormal experts" that validate them somehow. I get the sense that a lot of the people are seeking attention. Of course, these are all fictional accounts of people that have either convinced themselves they experienced a paranormal event, made it up completely, or exaggerated a creepy moment or feeling. For all the accounts where paranormal investigators looked into a "haunting" and are interviewed, it's pretty clear it's phony when they claim there were strange things going on, but they don't have any evidence - which obviously is what any skeptic would expect. This is more or less how all these shows are, and even when so-called evidence is shown, it's at best a strange phenomenon and not proof of ghosts or demons. People carry all types of energy, feelings, experiences and superstitions, and psychologically, many factors contribute to these events, but they are not hauntings. If you watch, do it for entertainment purposes.

So far not one single "survivor" has teeth. They are either gone or rotten so badly. I'm sorry but that alone makes a viewer think all their encounters were due to drug use. Bad just really unbelievable.

It would seem that the eyewitnesses are geniune and the Canadian low budget nature of the reinactments are reminiscent of the old ghost shows such as "A Haunting" so it was quite nostalgiac. Also every single reinactment dinner scene uses nothing but some cheap looking spaghetti marinara.

Ridiculous. The only saving grace (barely) is the interview segments with the actual witnesses. Everything else is laughable. Same locations being used over and over for different stories, actors who don't even remotely resemble the actual people, cheesy sound effects, cheesy visual effects... pretty much par for the course. And where's the evidence that witnesses keep telling us about? We keep hearing about video / pics / EVPs but instead of the actual evidence all we get is corny overly dramatic recreations. The only real entertainment value is laughs.

I love these type of stories on tv that expose the activities of the paranormal. And this show is included. I know in the beginning it wasn't its best and obviously the people probably thought the cast and producers were a bit off, but you can tell they've gotten better and more comfortable with what they're doing. And it shows. I do wish they included a little more information or follow ups on smaller stories or any story really.
