I kind of felt like a sucker after watching this. The episodes are long and too much talking, no action. If you like to see how paranormal investigators operate, this is for you, otherwise...not much story. It falls flat.

I'm just your average person with a lifelong fascination with the paranormal and unsolved mysteries. I've checked out the Week in Weird occasionally and listen to various podcasts when i have time. That's the extent of my paranormal experience. I'm not a hardcore skeptic or a true believer. I'm simply open to the possibilities. I did originally read about the David Christie emails on the website but had no idea there would be a documentary till I heard about it on a podcast. My only bias here is I like a good story. This is a good story.

I have to wonder what the negative reviewers expected when watching this. Beyond the good story, I enjoyed the inside view of an investigation. The mystery only became more mysterious in my eyes. Your enjoyment of the movie may depend on your perspective going into it. I wasn't expecting them to present proof on a shining platter at the end. I'm left with even more questions and that's ok with me. This was certainly better than anything in the paranormal genre on tv in quite some time. I'd definitely watch more documentaries by this team.

My review of season 1: Every time I thought it was about to get interesting, it didn't. Best "watched" as background noise.

My review of season 2: Here's where things get interesting; however, paranormal research is always so filled with bias. They loosely acknowledge their bias at times but it's still systemic. I like to believe. I want to believe. But it's hard to believe. Also, there's an unethical psychological experiment included In the second season that is very problematic.

If you enjoy the word "synchronicity", you're in for a treat.

First of all, I was totally hooked by this show. I love all the things they were discussing and half chasing. I completely understand the poor reviews. Let me explain.

The reason that none of these shows actually never find anything, ever, is because they more than likely don't exist. Yes, you can keep pointing into the forest and saying things are being thrown or sit there with "noise cancelling" headphones and spouting out words. "Giraffe", "Purple roof"....see, I just did it. But, at the end of the day, WE WANT TO BELIEVE! But what we are all actually looking for is someone braving than we are to search for these things. I'm a decent sized man who has been in a few fights here and there. I'm not afraid of much, but I'm a firm believer in, "If you go door to door searching for the Devil, eventually he's going to answer!" That's when I nope the hell out. Well.....apparently that's when this shows cast does also. They finally find the great tunnel, and tin can, they've been searching for......and they go twenty feet in! WTF! NO!!!!! You are the nerds( used affectionately) who are supposed to be braver than I am, but you won't actually search for anything. I truly believe that's why people are upset with this show. If this was my passion, and I found this cave, I would be spelunking the heck out of this thing. Well, they don't......even a little bit.

However, great show with an extremely interesting topic.

P.S. The music/sounds over the talking, is absolutely annoying and could possibly give you a headache.
