Portals to Hell

I was very reluctant to watch this show because of the name, "Portals to Hell". It kind of gives the impression that this show is about them trying to prove there is a doorway to hell in these locations which isn't actually an accurate assessment of what they're doing. They're going in with the intention of investigating these places like any other "ghost hunting" show.

What I like about this show is that they let you see and kind of get to know the behind-the-scenes crew. They actually show if one of the crew has an encounter while at a location which helps to add validation to a haunting. I also like that Jack Osbourne seems to have a skeptical nature which is nice in comparison to some other shows where every noise and every sight is a "demon".

I don't like that they had Cindy Kaza on as a "psychic medium". I've seen her in other things and I don't believe she's a psychic or a medium. When she joined them at Bobby Mackey's, the information she gave them was stuff that has been well documented in other ghost hunting shows, specifically Ghost Adventures, and the haunted tour guide that took Jack around at the beginning of the episode mentioned the one and only documented death was a man who got in a fight and basically dropped dead from a blow to his head. Cindy could have EASILY researched that. And I'm sorry but "automatic writing" sounds like a bunch of BS and it didn't escape my notice that you didn't really get to see what she was writing.

Suffice to say, that Portals to Hell isn't really a unique concept because just about every type of ghost hunting show that could be done, has been done. But if you're like me and like to watch these shows to see what kind of evidence people get, then give this a shot.

Would like to give no stars but hit 2 in error. I love paranormal investigation shows and wanted to give this one a chance. First one seeing, S1:E5, and already turned off by Jack's deliberate knock on the wall to defraud his audience. Sayonara PTH

I really like the show, but the only problem I have is that they involve the camera crew. Other than that Katrina is the best in my opinion, she's a fearless leader.

I really like show, but I would like to see more history of the location, and maybe a little bit of reenactments, but not to much. The parts that I dislike the most is that they involve the camera crew to much, I think that only Katrina ,Jack and the people being interviewed should be the ones on camera talking.

I really did like this show, but then they explored the Emerald Hill House, which is less than 5 minutes from my home. This episode let me see just home little work they actually do looking into backgrounds and area history. Internet rumor is not historical fact. The Colvin's were never accused of witchcraft and its NOT a witch's broom on the stone - it's an upturned torch. Even a little bit of research or a phone call to the historical society (or any of our THREE local paranormal groups) could have cleared up a lot. So as much as I enjoy the show, I now have to question every historical "fact" they give, which really makes it hard to enjoy.
