"Prozak" tries to be tough
kissthecooks14 August 2019
I can't take "Prozak" seriously through the film. First, his name is ridiculous. Second, the gold chain and DG hat is just stupid. Yes, I know he's supposedly a rapper, but do you really need to wear those at a ghost investigation? Also, when he does the narration in between clips, he lower his voice and tries to sound, IDK, scary? Tough? Intimidating? It's just horrible. Speak in your normal voice, dude. While I think they did find some evidence, the presentation of it was just meh.

Nothing to see here

This is just guys roaming an old station speaking in hushed tones and asking the shadows things like, "Can you give me some kind of sign?" I couldn't see or hear most of the "evidence." The station has an interesting history. I hope someone makes a program about its renovation.

Creepy violin crescendo and then BANG! Jump scare!
shm_616200020 January 2020
Wow. Let's see how much more creepy we can make this by adding overly loud sound effects. Please please please stop it. I'd like to be hiding in the corner of one of their investigations and make a loud cymbal crash. Overly dramatic voice over by "Prozac". Done with this wanna be series. BONK! WHAM!

Laughable

This was not good. I can see what they were trying to do making a film that seems like a ghost hunter show only trying to be just scary enough to seem real. It failed. By giving the audience just enough visual to be obviously more than a dumb fake ghost hunter show, they unfortunately danced a weird line between the two. Maybe if the ghost hunter shows weren't so lame and obviously fake then this could be more successful, but that is not the reality we live in. I do, however, applaud the attempt and obvious thought that went into this film, keep trying to scare us guys, you'll get there.

Endless paranormal wandering
Leofwine_draca8 October 2017
Warning: Spoilers
A HAUNTING ON POTTER STREET: THE POTTER STREET STATION is another one of those paranormal documentaries consisting entirely of a couple of guys wandering around a supposedly haunted locale at night, shooting via night vision cameras and looking for spirits which never materialise. This one has the brief of introductions before lots of long-winded 'investigation' footage, this time in a huge abandoned train station. This kind of thing is fun to do in person, but it's not at all fun to watch someone else doing it.

Try to stay awake
ehsaylor11 July 2018
This is a docu-drama which is somewhere between Blair Witch and an episode of Ghost Hunters. They try to portray this as an actual real documentary, but there are too many EVPs, apparitions, noises, physical interactions, etc to be real. There have been many case studies done in places suspected of being haunted that don't provide more than one or two of these in a week's time of rolling cameras. It may have been worth watching if there had been better lighting so we could see the architecture of the building. I don't think there is a rule that says ghosts only come out in the dark. I suggest looking elsewhere for a ghost story.

Sound leveling is garbage
tomgresavage21 April 2023
The sound engineer must have had absolutely 0 idea what they were doing. Even if you forgive the presence of cheesy jump scares they are about 100x too loud. So if you adjust your sound so they don't blow your ears out the EVPs are completely inaudible.

They seem to catch good evidence but the sound leveling completely detracts from the viewing experience.

The editorial style of over dramatic voice overs and brow beating jump scares, which have become commonplace in this genre is not lacking in this documentary. Too many cliches to count.

Otherwise it seems they caught some good evidence.

And Harnois is insufferable as usual.
