The thing I like about the show is its not your typical over hyped American nonsense plus the stories are told from credible witnesses like serving police officers etc.
It's much better than shows like a haunting etc.
The problem, as always, is you feel the hand of the editor in pushing the 'paranormal' explanation of the events. Ultimately, the implausibilities are glossed over and many questions left unanswered. You end up with a sense of only getting half the story.
I agree; I love a good scare. I have watched Sinister and Paranormal activity recently but find PW scarier than both of those films!
Would someone be kind enough to tell me?
It's a completely different type of programme that reconstructs reported events and it can be found on the Really channel which is on Freeview, Sky and Virgin TV - see http://uktv.co.uk/really/item/aid/653273. (It's on tonight at 10pm on Really)
A couple of months ago, there was a poignant case where mother and son went off the road in a car accident and the mother was killed. An apparition of a dead woman appeared on the road where the car veered off the road. This "body" was reported by a passing lady driver and a police investigation started and they found the dead woman still in the car together with her still-alive son who was rescued. It came across as help from beyond the grave.
Last week's episode was creepy because it gave every indication of being true. It featured a UFO abduction case and all 7 witnesses passed polygraph lie detector tests (85+% accurate) and the chances of all them misleading the investigators were astronomically low. The Arizona state tester said their accounts were true and that he believed them.
Season 2 is on my planner ready to go its just I have had lots of other stuff to watch before this but its good and I like Paranormal witness
I think the way round that one is to record them and watch them during the daytime/early evening and not at 9pm/10pm when Really shows the episodes because the images stick in your mind when you're trying to get to sleep :eek:!:eek:
Thank you for taking the time to type all that
I found it last night. Forgot about TIVO search function because never really had use it before. Spotted it on and hit record....
Was last night's episode similar in quality to others that you folks have seen?
At your service, Minnimo. I'd suggest watching a number of episodes because some events are more credible than others and some incidents featured on that series have actually been witnessed by law enforcement/military officers which, in my view, makes them more credible as does passing polygraph tests.
PS As I suggested earlier, this programme is best watched during the daytime and not late at night!
:eek:! I think you are very brave to do that, Suzywong - it's not something that I'd do (if there were a "scared" emoticon, I'd have inserted it right here)
According to the Sky TV Guide, Episode 1 of Series 2 is on Wednesday next week at 9pm directly followed by Episode 2 at 10pm:
Man in the Attic
The spine-chilling series returns with more scary stories. A divorcee sets up home with her young children, but there are some sinister goings-on in the loft.
The Real Haunting in Connecticut
Real-life ghost stories. A family move house, only to find that their new pad used to be a funeral home and strange incidents begin to occur.
(l'll bet the estate agent who sold the house didn't tell them it used to be used as a funeral parlour :eek:)

Thanks for that link, fmradiotuner1, and I voted for Paranormal Witness because there's a variety of phenomena featured and it's not the "same old" every week.
Now you can have more than one but if I had to vote for just one it would still be MH.
No one has stayed in that house for more than a few months before leaving.
