I love watching paranormal shows and movies, and will even confess to watching a few dismal ones in the past just BECAUSE it's paranormal. I first heard of this show a few months ago and decided to give it a shot. I do believe in spirits and I do believe there are people in this world with special gifts that Amy appears to have. First, the retired detective is such a cliché, that it's hard to watch him at times. When he interviews clients, he makes these facial expressions constantly that clearly are meant to indicate interest and awe, and also to show the viewer that they are saying something here that you should be interested and awed by also. Second, I would never assume that someone who says they are psychic, is not psychic. That is irrelevant and my rating has nothing do with her abilities. Amy Allan however, is very strange in her reactions to a "haunted" location. She makes weird faces, and noises, and stutters as though she can't describe what she's trying to say. It is just so bizarre to watch. There have also been inconsistencies with the show, namely her telling a child in one episode that she was obsessed with Lizzie Borden at one time, and then a few episodes later, they went to the Lizzie Borden house, and she made out like she had no idea where she was, or knew anything about the house. The last thing is the fact that we have to just trust they don't relay any information to each other about a case, since that is supposed to be one of the most interesting/compelling things about the show I guess.
