The only reason I am reviewing Haunted Encounters is to warn people not to waste their time! I watch a few Haunted shows for the entertainment value but this show is just plain insulting! Just because they use terms like "pandora", which is simply a tape recorder and "a ripple in time", which is an idiotic role playing thing they do, does not make this show unique or watchable! In fact, anyone on the show is obviously desperate to be on TV and will do anything for the attention! The majority of the show is the women saying "oh gaaawwwd" and "I'm scared" to the main dude twisting an ankle and again saying, I'm scared!! The only sensible one on the show is the dog, who is often told to bark when they want to make a point. This is even worse than Haunted and Haunted Australia, which I thought couldn't be possible!

i cant believe they put this garbage on as a paranormal show. A bunch of people that don't even know how to investigate running around screaming and faking evidence. No wonder the paranormal field is getting such a bad rap. Please don't bring this show back for another season it sucks Scooby Doo is a better ghost hunter than this. I don't understand the why production companies don't take the research serious anymore it is sad that it comes down to making everything into joke when there is real people out there that need help and after watching programs like this they will shy away from the real experts and not want to contact anyone for help.

Oh, my Lord where do I start??? From the girls "oh my gawd"ing to the whispering this is just inane drivel.The funniest thing was when they reenacted the murders in the Lizzie Borden house -- complete with period clothing!!! "How dare you do this -- all I have done for you, this nice house..."The announcer is more douchey than that Zak turd.Stay away from this driveling trash.No wonder no-one has posted a topic in the message section.!! I found the page on IMDb so I could bitch and moan about it and quazi shock -- no one has posted. This is what I call accidentally inane.

I was a bit confused on the first episode with all the different gimmicks the show presented, but I really grew to like the dog investigator a lot, he seems to be like a Mel Meter, but I really liked him. The places were different and the wrinkle in time is a neat idea, I can see how changing something in somebody's life story can provoke ghosts into speaking. I do remember Daniel and Jordan from Zak's Paranormal Challenge show, but I guess they've just been doing it for a while, plus Dan was on that SyFy School Hauntings show, which I really liked but was hard to believe. Overall, this show is different from Ghost Hunters, but I like it enough to tune in and see what kind of stunts they are pulling each week, plus I like how everything is in real time since I don't like watching TAPS analyze evidence. It's not Ghost Hunters, but a close second in my book and more puppy!!!
