I am quite obsessed with the paranormal and found myself running out of ghost shows to watch, so I decided to give this show a try. I have seen every episode out of the two short seasons and have found myself displeased with many things about it. First off, these people are relatively pampered and live cushy lives. Even though Jael has roughed it in Destination Truth is some very inhospitable environments, it seems that none of these people have ever taken the time to familiarize themselves with the sights and sounds of nature. I highly doubt they would ever willingly put themselves out in the wilderness for any other reason than their show. I could be wrong, but when they were unable to tell the difference between an elk print and something that is canine, it screamed 'We're total novices'. I feel like if you're trying to legitimately (and I use this term loosely, as this is reality TV we're talking about) investigate into something like the Shunka Warakin or the Ozark Howler, you should at least familiarize yourself with animal tracking before just blindly assuming every print is mysterious and/or a print from what you're looking for. In fact this can be said about a lot of their investigations, a lot of the noises they're hearing are the sounds of the surrounding fauna. For example in the Louisiana Swamp Woman episode, they were freaking out over 'screams' they were hearing; Those were owls and possibly even frogs. Another thing that I've noticed is that they'll capture something really compelling on camera and in the end during their 'evidence review' (another thing I'm referring to loosely here) , literally never mention it or ever bring any attention to it ever again. For example in the last episode of season 2 during the investigation into the Black Angel, Devin catches not once, but twice some floating orb thing that disappears into the trees. At the end of the investigation they only talk about the heat signature on the angel (possibly caused by the sun, because, you know metal can retain heat and the sun hadn't set too long before) and some weak 'EVP' that they caught. However, when I say this as an artist myself, its questionable if the things they don't talk about in the end were not faked in the first place, some of these things they show you look pretty manufactured.Overall they aren't reinventing the wheel here when it comes to 'no camera crew' style investigation. Ghost Adventures has been doing that since 2008, and though its not spectacular, you can tell that they also edit it themselves as well by their aesthetic choices.It is sad to see this show go however just for the sheer fact that it is pretty funny to watch rich people scare themselves silly in the middle of nowhere and call it 'investigating'.

In the scene where the rocking chair starts rocking, you can see the string that is pulling it. This show is completely hysterical in the fact that the actors are so dramatic. It is not surprising that this show is being canceled. With all the technology today and all the experts in special effects I'm sure there are plenty of ways to make a rocking chair move without strings or ropes being attached. And, Oh My Goodness, a ball falling off a log, what a scary thing to happen. I almost fell out of bed laughing. I have watched many of these so called paranormal shows and Haunted Highway is probably the worst yet. Instead of being scared of ghosts I am now scared of the people that are trying to prove that they actually exist.

I watched the Darkman of Standing Rock episode and have no desire to see any more episodes of this show. Everything is so fake and ridiculously cliché. Most ghost shows manufacture situations and drama, but this show so obviously fakes things that it isn't even fun to watch. This is like a really boring version of the Blair Witch Project (and that is saying something).Evidence that they presented for the existence of their so called haunts could easily be explained by non paranormal events. One event, and I will be vague so as not to give spoilers, was obviously purposefully caused by the camera person.Don't get me wrong, I actually believe in the paranormal and enjoy paranormal shows (even if they are all filled with bad science and some manufactured drama)... but this show was so bad, I almost stopped believing at all.

Ghost Hunters, Ghost Adventures, Destination Truth, and Haunted Highway. One of these shows is different, one of these shows doesn't have a camera crew. That show would be Haunted Highway. The fact that the Haunted Highway team doesn't have a production crew following them around on their hunts makes for a more dramatic show, with a better foot in reality than other paranormal reality shows. That doesn't necessarily mean that the shows aren't good, it's just that Haunted Highway grasps attention better than, say, Destination Truth, a show which keeps me wondering what parts are fabricated for the cameras, and what's unscripted. I've been a HUGE fan of Destination Truth since the beginning, but the atmosphere is utterly non-existent in contrast to Haunted Highway. The smaller 2-person teams, the choice of cryptids, all make the show that much better.Jack Osbourne is a wise man. He knows his ghosts, and he knows his cryptids. He will be on the hunt, looking for evidence, but he won't try to fool you. He has the ability to say that not every investigation comes up clean, not every place is haunted, and not every cryptid is more than legend. That being said, sorry about the sclerosis, Jack! :(Jael and Devin have experience from being on Fact or Faked, and Jael has also previously been on Destination Truth. She's as professional as you can get in the monster-hunter world.If you haven't seen Haunted Highway, I suggest you give it a shot. It's not for everybody, but for the believers out there..
