Ghost Stories (II) (1997– )
Chilling!
19 November 2005
I love this series and own all of the episodes. It's very informational, yet not dull like so many other paranormal series I've watched before. The variety of settings (Hollywood, the wild west, Europe, ordinary households, etc) in Ghost Stories keeps any person intrigued. Not only is there video footage of ghostly encounters, but there are also incredibly frightening pictures and dramatic reenactments. The information that I got from the series is so interesting; take for instance, in the episode about Hollywood ghosts, I learned so many juicy details about famous actors (Marilyn Monroe, Bela Lagosi, Joan Crawford, etc). It's really a shame that the series was canceled. I recommend going out and buying the DVDs!

Not Convinced
5 August 2005
I'm a firm believer in ghosts, but always remain a skeptic when not experiencing paranormal occurrences myself. Cathe claims to be a sensitive... highly doubt it. Anyone could have put on the performances that she put on. The orbs that were shown on the videos could very well have been flashlights in the forest. At one point, when the camera zoomed in on the orb, the shape of the orb was more visible and wasn't circular as it had formerly appeared to be, it was a perfect square (like those square shaped flashlights). And the fact that Cathe kept approaching every "spirit" like it was a little child was incredibly annoying. She would say, "It's OK, come out. I love you, I love you. No one's going to hurt you." I mean come on, if they were spirits, then they obviously used to be human and don't need to be baby talked like they've never been a part of the real world. All in all, not a convincing documentary and barely even entertaining. The only enjoyable parts were the interviews with people who actually lived in the haunted buildings being investigated. Cathe just seemed like an intruder and, unfortunately, she was in the majority of the video.
