Deadly Possessions

Imagine Sally Jesse Raphael, but instead of confronting cheating spouses or lying family members, the guests come face to face with inanimate objects that they address, often crying. The only unfortunate things is that the host/producer/museum owner plays so heavily on the instability of people's emotions. I love horror, love true stories (or well-written fiction). This is none of those things but it is campy and hilarious, assuming you can get past the mental wellness issues that this series highlights.

The questions with this show aren't so much 'Do demons exist?' and 'Can they possess physical objects?' so much as 'Does Bagans expect us to believe this?' and 'Does he himself believe it?'. It's essentially Pawn Stars for the credulous, hosted by someone on an ego trip (Did we not get attention as a child?) interspersed with acting that would be woeful in a porn movie let alone a horror movie. If you want a programme that tackles the paranormal in an objective manner that doesn't make assumptions, look elsewhere. If I had to say anything positive it would be that it's unintentionally hilarious. Knock back a shot every time Bagans looks stunned and make a drinking game of it... actually don't, you'll ruin your liver. I'm guessing the 10/10 reviews are from people who Bagans has paid, as was obvious in the equally awful Demon House (Be disappointed by one Bagans show, shame on him, be disappointed by two, shame on us) or they are by the exceptionally credulous. I don't disbelieve the paranormal, I do keep an open mind, but I can't buy into it when its presented THIS badly.

Sadly I was very annoyed with this series It so dramatic and its just and just plain Disney its not the objects or the stories its the way they present the show over dramatic , unrealistic and very childish and a bit of a joke to be honest.

If this show is supposed to represent the most haunted objects in History or the world it really bad that I feel like I am watching another cheap quick scare cheesy show.

There is a real Museum that holds real famous objects in side of Ed and Lorraine Warren's: The Occult Museum.

If you ever watch Lorraine Warren the most famous Demonologists talk about these objects of possession you can hear that she is not over dramatic she is very straight to the point and very honest and very respectful.

Sadly the presenter Zak does not have these qualities but rather sounds like a child playing with a toy. I feel like he has a little understanding of what he is doing. It really does not inspire confidence and does not for fill my expectations.

I understand that this show may go far but only for the reasons of the fan base with the previous shows.

This is a waste of time for people who have a serious interest for the Occult and the history of these objects.

I really do hope they make some changes to the show because this could be a hit with out the dramatics. rating 4/10. unsure emoticon .

Apology's for any bad Gramma.

I'm a great fan of Zak & Aaron for there contributions and investigations in to the paranormal, until now they lived up to there standards. After little research myself found one to many question marks that they should have caught researched before interviewing some of these people, now they are being mislead and duked. All though its chilling and entertaining, a great watch. But can lead to false myths and false information to fester in the field. As anything look at it with very objectively and open minded, do not take it as fact. I'm a layman in the field, spired to work with it myself someday, to find my own answers just as these guys started. I support there efforts, but just be careful going down this rabbit hole guys.

I like Ghost Adventures, even though Nick is gone and Zak has become increasingly given to pontificating and wearing art school clothing (black on black and thick rimmed glasses). That show is still interesting, both in the historical places they visit and the experiences they have. I guess it's not easy coming up with interesting places that are reputed to be haunted on a consistent basis, so they ventured into Aftershocks (which is okay) and Deadly Possessions. This show feels cheap and slapped together, and not authentic, a bit like the Ryan Buell paranormal show with Penn State students. People come in with objects they think are linked with the paranormal, and Zak sits listening, trying to ask overly provocative questions, and even with cuts to dramatic recreations of events, nothing really happens, it's just rather dull storytelling on the whole. If I had watched this show first and had never seen Ghost Adventures, I'd imagine GA must be a boring, hokey show and avoid watching it. It's a poor effort, and fails primarily because it has a premise that is hard to make interesting and believable. I don't know, what does a ghost hunter do in his spare time? Is it possible to make staying at home and talking to average people with objects they think might be bad interesting and worth watching? Not in this case, unfortunately.
