Title: "A Haunting" is Bullshit
Post by: Hijiri Byakuren on February 23, 2014, 03:48:40 PM
My mom loves "A Haunting." It's a show about supposed ghost stories that "really happened." Always resolved by psychics and Christian priests, of course. I know this show is bullshit, but the one she was watching today took the cake. The story was almost word-for-word lifted from an old Slenderman story I read a couple years ago. I wish I was exaggerating.

Since they're re-enacting reported "eyewitness" accounts, that's entirely possible.

A TV show is lying to people? Well color me shocked! I'm going to write a sternly worded letter to the editor about this one!

Not necessarily lying to people. It's based off a true story. So that probably just means it's based off of people imagining that they are getting haunted.

Indeed it is.  Can't say that I'm surprised, either.
