I think this show took two different stories and put them together, one is Stephen Akinmurele that killed elderly people in a Cul-De-sac and the other was a 13 year old boy that killed a 4 year old boy name Eric Smith. I can understand changing names to protect people but not to make up a story if it is false. Let people know it isn't true we will still watch it because of it being thrilling to watch scary stuff. I can't find anything on Eric Mandle but I did find something on a Susan Dawson but not the same Susan they one I found just died in 2015. So this show is a fake and it is sad because I do know from experience that there are Hauntings.

I don't normally leave reviews, but I felt the need to for this show.I started recording this show on my DVR a few days ago. The "promo commercial" or whatever you call it, played the show up and made it sound really interesting. I wanted to check it out so I set it to record to watch it later. I've been watching it for the last several days and I had a passing notion that the show may not be showcasing legitimate stories, after the episode: "The Boy Did It & Frozen Forest." In that episode, the father goes in to speak to his son about whether or not he pushed his sister out of the window, the boy is supposedly under the covers and it turns out he's really under the bed. That tale comes from those short little horror stories you can Google or find on Pinterest, but I thought maybe this story (the one in the show) is where the short story came from. However, the moment I really realized this show was fake was when I was watching the episode: "Hazel & House of Sacrifice." There were three people telling the story and I recognized the young girl, "Hazel," who's now grown up. A few months or more back I watched a movie called "Avengers Grimm." It's a B movie about fairytale characters getting vengeance on Rumplestiltskin for ruining their happy endings and one of the main characters, Snow White, was played by a woman named Laura Parkinson (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3034692/?ref_=nmmd_md_nm) and I realized they were the same person.I must admit to being irritated by the deception. I would have been perfectly okay with the stories being fabricated for entertainment value, but I personally don't appreciate being deceived by the title screen claiming that the stories are "based on" true events and that the "names have been changed to protect identities." The show is using the title sequence to sell the viewer a fake "true paranormal happenings" show, instead of being upfront and saying the stories are fictional. The stories are interesting, but they lose that interest the moment they begin lying to their viewers.

I've watched several of these and the eye witnesses seem very fake...and many of these people look familiar...LOL..you can absolutely tell the difference between this "witnesses" and the true witnesses on other shows...these actors seem to have been coached by the same person....THIS SHOW HAS NOTHING ON PARANORMAL WITNESS OR A HAUNTING. Those shows can be tracked and verified...My Haunted House cannot. The actors are good...they make you wonder initially...but if you watch enough..you will notice the similarities in acting..I hate I have to write ten lines on this review...I don't have anything else to say...this show is fake...I will probably not watch it any longer...takes the interest away.

I just finished watching a show I recorded earlier this evening. The title was "Dead Ringer." I have DIRECTV so when I hit the info button, one of the bits of information I get is the original airing date of thst particular show. As I said, it was recorded earlier tonight, July 25, 2015. After watching the main part of the show a message came on the screen saying "Seven Years Later." Well the events of the show were from late September, 2008 making seven years later...September, 2015. Hmmmm.... but the show was originally broadcast for the first time in July, 2015...a full two months before the show had its ending. Take it for what it is worth.
