Extremely stupid
sebpopcorn31 October 2009
You'd be forgiven for thinking this is a parody of popular ghost shows like Ghost Hunters and Ghost 'Dude' Adventures. Because there's a lot of those shows now the only way to get a piece of the action is to be more extreme than them so that's what they've gone for. This basically translates into a lot of stunts like burying the fat eunuch looking guy alive while chucking their own blood around as an offering.

How about a summoning...in a lake? Extreme enough for you yet? This is so over the top I'm sure even the Paranormal State team are watching and laughing at them. It's heavily scripted (check out their 'surprise' when their friend turns up at pen state) and they turn up nothing interesting at all.

Just don't get too attached to these guys because I don't think this is second season material. It's one thing to wander around with a video camera looking for ghosts, that can be fun to watch but seeing a bunch of fat guys bleeding themselves so they can perform rituals to contact the dead? No thanks, that's not healthy on any level and nor is it interesting to watch.

Juvenile and Irresponsible
jlg-6790911 September 2022
This show features overgrown juveniles conducting investigations, and it's pitiful to watch. They lack any ability to connect with and communicate with the other side, and as a result, they jump to conclusions without any real evidence to support those conclusions. The whole gist of the show is to draw out spirits through bullying, taunting, agitating, and playing with whatever toys they brought. Such methods are known to create increased activity that tends to escalate long after the investigators have moved along, leaving a bigger mess for those who tend to the property to deal with down the road. Don't waste your time with this crap. There are plenty of other shows in which the paranormal investigators use responsible methods. Support those shows instead.

Turn the channel!
afamouspetty1 November 2009
Save yourself the 1/2 hour to hour this is on by finding something else to watch. This should never be portrayed as reality. It is anything but. The producers should be ashamed of themselves for ruining their resume with this garbage. It is a complete waste! They do the weakest things to "envoke" spirits. Maybe a 2 second blurb that will make you want to laugh- although they are suppose to be serious. It doesn't even come across as serious.

As for the episode where Nathan "cuts" himself, they cut it real fast, then flash back where some colored stuff is on his arm, but it- to me- does not look anything like blood. Then when he is "cleaning it up" there appears to be no cut.

They yell and freak out and claim things happen yet you see absolutely nothing. All this show is going to do is to teach kids who are followers to vandalize and harm themselves in an attempt to reach a spirit. It is not a very good example. However, once they get sued for that, they might wake up.

I sincerely hope A&E does not allow this trash to continue to poison the channel. It IS seriously that bad.

Ugh... Bad doesn't even begin to describe this train wreck
nancylmarine18 October 2022
I made it to 22 minutes into the first show before I turned it off.

I started watching this because I thought it was a legitimate ghost hunting show. After a couple minutes of watching it, I decided it was a parody of the ghost hunting shows. I came here to IMDB to find out who the actors were.

Not only is it NOT a parody but the people in this show actually believe they're ghost hunters!

Really bad how with a really bad script with really bad actors.

All the "evidence" occurs off camera. The "shadow figure" they saw? Nope, didn't believe it for a second. Then, there was a laughable moment where one of the guys slit his wrist to do a picture on the floor? Really?

This show is an incredible joke and don't waste your time.

Turned it off so I could watch a show with good actors in it.

Way over the top!
sherripadgitt-5553613 September 2022
This gives real paranormal researchers a bad rap. This show is nothing to look to when imagining paranormal activity. This should be under the comedy section. Not to mention the fact that they like to bleed for offerings. This is so out there, I have no idea how it got the green light to go, but yet here we are reviewing it. I didn't see this getting great reviews from others and so I came here and saw that it is not doing well. This is a good thing because this isn't something you would want your family watching. A warning label would be good: Too bloody stupid to watch!

Don't take my word for it. Head on over to Hulu to give it a watch. I bet you don't last the full episode.

Waste of time
spcdlemmers20 February 2024
I was trying to find something new to watch as I finished the last series I was watching. I figured I would give this show a chance a it seemed interesting. All I can say is that's 20 minutes I'll never get back. These guys try really hard to make themselves sound hard core, their not even close. This was by far the dumbest thing I've ever seen. They have no clue what they are doing. Real paranormal investagteors know you can't do the stuff they were trying to do. These guys need to go get schooled in how to do this and make it look real. Don't waste your time watching this beyond stupid and unbelievable crap.

Don't Waste Your Time
willledger19 October 2022
Warning: Spoilers
This show is so obviously and horribly staged, and the obvious acting isn't even convincing in the slightest. In the first episode one of the guys "slits his wrist" with a razor blade to offer a blood sacrifice. However, before he actually "slits" his wrist, the camera cuts out, and we see a bunch of obviously fake blood with no close ups of any wound. Conveniently in the next shot, his arm is completely clean as if nothing happened. There were a series of bang noises, yet none of the sources were caught on camera, and it was all speculation. One of the guys "caught" a noise on the microphone. Which sounded like a horribly recorded whisper that was obviously studio edited. And about 80% of the show was the guys yelling "hey, come here I got something!" Which each time that was said, it was for something stupid and unrelated to anything paranormal.

Where is the evidence?
stpcarly22 January 2010
I watched this accidentally the other day, cause if I knew what I was going to see I wouldn't have wasted my time. It isn't even funny, they are so over the top it borders on stupidity. With all the rituals they did you would expect something to happen to freak you out, instead you see them running around like idiots and yelling all over the place. Obviously they were not going for professionalism here, more like "let's confuse the viewer and they'll believe we are seeing ghosts". They seem to be trying to combine Ghost Hunters & Paranormal state while throwing in a dash of "omg there is a shadow we have proof the killer is here" drama lol. This isn't even good to watch when nothing is on but fishing lol.

More Extreme
spectreagenda18 December 2009
This show had a lot going for it. It was exciting, fun, and not so full of its self as some of the other shows out there. If you are the kind of person who likes to sit around and have a good scare or wishes you could do something crazy, this show is for you. I watched it when it first came out and have been waiting for more. Some of it seems to be a bit out there but no more than any other paranormal show and this one is really a lot more fun. You can see yourself with these guys having all this crazy stuff going on around you. The three main people on this show each have a different way of investigating. You can tell they don't agree on most of the things they try but they work together to see what will work best for gathering paranormal activity. I really want to see more Extreme Paranormal in the future.

Very Entertaining... Possibly my Favorite Paranormal Show not on TV?
dad33327 January 2013
I really liked this show. I have watched others like it, only finding myself to place this closest to the canceled show entitled Paranormal State, in terms of overall appeal and like-ability. I watched this straight through Season 1 Episode 1, both parts of the only two part episode of this show that exists, and can honestly say I was not bored not even once. Very entertaining, very sadistic, very exciting. It's a take on paranormal investigating from the point of view of a more reckless group of people.. and it was fun to watch them try to taunt the dead. I wish I could watch more of these episodes. The other shows like this on television try to give a point of view from a crew or group of folk that are generally more modest and approach the paranormal with caution. The crew in this show is raising hell in hopes of getting a spirit to manifest. Cool idea. Love the concept.

Couldn't even finish, SO DUMB
dsalazar-2671514 September 2022
I'm not going to go into much detail to waste my time more than I already have, but what a joke! I watched only half the show if even that. It's such a embarrassing show, I'm surprised it was even aired! The way they disrespect the dead and all the rituals... I really cannot see why this is even being shown hahaha. Such a ridiculous tv show no wonder I never heard of it before I was bored trying to find something to watch on Hulu.

I was hoping to watch a good investigation show on the New Mexico State penitentiary, but this is such a freaking joke and even the sounds are ridiculous, it's just all out embarrassing and I highly DO NOT recommend this horrible show. It's such a JOKE.
