Haunted

As the title suggests, this is a show about people with untreated PTSD... All of them have experienced something traumatic at a young age, and now they see ghosts.

Really, instead of exploiting them on TV, these people should be offered councelling, or some other forms of help.

First of all, You can't look at this from a "where are the facts" kind of way. It doesn't claim to be an investigative series. It's like telling ghost stores around a campfire. It says based on a true story bc the people telling it believe it to be true. Nothing about this show is actually factually based and I believe that to be the point. It's cool cinematography and is a bit scary/troubling. The slaughterhouse episode is outlandish, but it's meant to be taken at face value. Its not a damn documentary, like these people making the other comments are expecting it to be.

Usually Netflix tries to at least keep their original content somewhat interesting or at least decent caliber entertainment, but this show is down right ridiculous on all levels. They focus on "true" haunting accounts that showcase people that I just could just not even attempt to take seriously due to their hysterical demeanor and almost over the top claims that made it seem like they were paid actors to appear actually haunted. Now I'm not saying that some of these people haven't actually been victims of some form of hauntings, but the embellished stories on this show seem like watered down cliche horror shorts that the production team/Netflix came up with to pass as true accounts. The emotions portrayed just don't seem authentic from the people at all and the show overall seems like a cheap addition in time for Halloween. The production value is decently solid for the re-enactments with some ok visuals no matter how ridiculous. The only episode that was at least passable and effective at times was the abduction story which had some genuinely well done visuals and intensity though it might be embellished as well. As a whole, the series is almost more comical than anything.

I don't know if the people telling these stories are actors or if they're real and they believe what they're saying. Either way, this show is freaking depressing. I've watched two episodes, and both hinge on small children who have suffered neglect and abuse witnessing violent murders. I have a feeling all of the episodes are going to be this way. If these people are real, then what they need is professional help, not a tv show exploiting their trauma and encouraging the delusions they created to cope with it. If they're just actors, then presenting the storytellers as real and their miserable stories as true is in seriously poor taste. This show is not scary, just sad. I love horror, and I love the types of stories that make me suspend--or even question--my disbelief in the supernatural. This show didn't make me suspend disbelief; it just made me want to get the storytellers to a therapist.

Beggining with episode 1 i was intrigued, but my questions kept piling up.. then when it came to episode 2 i stopped watching. Netflix needs to understand they have to give more information to these accounts. it's one person telling their story, poorly. there are no names, facts or evidence period. I'm really aggravated with Netflix's sloppiness on this show because it had potential to be very interesting. After watching the second episode, you will have one million questions & zero answers leaving you completely unsatisfied.. Would absolutely not recommend to anyone.
