This was a documentary that Jaime and I watched while we were vacationing in Savannah, Georgia. The first night that we were in this city, we did a haunted pub crawl and from that point on, we thought our Air B&B was haunted. I don't believe in ghosts, but I kept hearing weird noises in the night. While being half-awake, I was convinced it was something more, but it took me until the morning to know it was logical things from the people next door and upstairs. We decided to watch this while resting in between adventures. The synopsis for this doc is an excursion into the paranormal from coast to coast, in search of the country's most interesting hauntings. Visit some of the spookiest, scariest and most haunted places in the United States of America.
For this, we start with Hollywood and going to a few different places where it is said you can see the specters of famous stars. This spends around 15 minutes of it almost one hour runtime before taking us to places like New Mexico, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Maryland and ending in Massachusetts. I did like the cross section of different hauntings we get here.
Since I don't believe in ghosts, I like to watch this as something that is spooky. We do get experts like Barry Taff, Daniel Cohen, Arthur Myers, Laurie Jacobson and Jeff Wheatcraft to tell us their experiences with what they do. They also interview eyewitnesses for the documentary. Personally, I would like them to also have someone on the other side. This movie is pushing what they believe and it feels like they're expecting you to believe. I will give credit; it does ask for you to come in with an open mind though.
I don't think this is a great doc, but it is fine being made for television. It passed an hour before we needed to be somewhere. The effects are a bit dated. This is from 1996, so that does explain some of this. Don't come in expecting anything too crazy. It was just cashing in on something to make money for sure. I'd still say this is over average. Nothing groundbreaking here, but enjoyable enough.
My Rating: 6 out of 10.
