margohulseillu I am quite obsessed with the paranormal and found myself running out of ghost shows to watch, so I decided to give this show a try. I have seen every episode out of the two short seasons and have found myself displeased with many things about it. First off, these people are relatively pampered and live cushy lives. Even though Jael has roughed it in Destination Truth is some very inhospitable environments, it seems that none of these people have ever taken the time to familiarize themselves with the sights and sounds of nature. I highly doubt they would ever willingly put themselves out in the wilderness for any other reason than their show. I could be wrong, but when they were unable to tell the difference between an elk print and something that is canine, it screamed 'We're total novices'. I feel like if you're trying to legitimately (and I use this term loosely, as this is reality TV we're talking about) investigate into something like the Shunka Warakin or the Ozark Howler, you should at least familiarize yourself with animal tracking before just blindly assuming every print is mysterious and/or a print from what you're looking for. In fact this can be said about a lot of their investigations, a lot of the noises they're hearing are the sounds of the surrounding fauna. For example in the Louisiana Swamp Woman episode, they were freaking out over 'screams' they were hearing; Those were owls and possibly even frogs. Another thing that I've noticed is that they'll capture something really compelling on camera and in the end during their 'evidence review' (another thing I'm referring to loosely here) , literally never mention it or ever bring any attention to it ever again. For example in the last episode of season 2 during the investigation into the Black Angel, Devin catches not once, but twice some floating orb thing that disappears into the trees. At the end of the investigation they only talk about the heat signature on the angel (possibly caused by the sun, because, you know metal can retain heat and the sun hadn't set too long before) and some weak 'EVP' that they caught. However, when I say this as an artist myself, its questionable if the things they don't talk about in the end were not faked in the first place, some of these things they show you look pretty manufactured.Overall they aren't reinventing the wheel here when it comes to 'no camera crew' style investigation. Ghost Adventures has been doing that since 2008, and though its not spectacular, you can tell that they also edit it themselves as well by their aesthetic choices.It is sad to see this show go however just for the sheer fact that it is pretty funny to watch rich people scare themselves silly in the middle of nowhere and call it 'investigating'.

simplymefire In the scene where the rocking chair starts rocking, you can see the string that is pulling it. This show is completely hysterical in the fact that the actors are so dramatic. It is not surprising that this show is being canceled. With all the technology today and all the experts in special effects I'm sure there are plenty of ways to make a rocking chair move without strings or ropes being attached. And, Oh My Goodness, a ball falling off a log, what a scary thing to happen. I almost fell out of bed laughing. I have watched many of these so called paranormal shows and Haunted Highway is probably the worst yet. Instead of being scared of ghosts I am now scared of the people that are trying to prove that they actually exist.

smbgti So here is the deal, roaming reporters/Investigators pair up and check out stories of strange sighting and alleged paranormal activity on highways and remote roads around the US. To kick of the action the reporters gather some back ground info on the activity's to be investigated .They Conduct Interviews and hear eye witness reports from quirky looking locals about the spooky goings on.So the scene is set and its time for the reporters to move into the field and see for themselves what is really happening. Picking up the action in episode four there have been reports of dog like creatures named by locals as hell hounds. The always attractive Dana Workman is set up as the guinea pig with a lump of tasty meat in the dark of night awaiting some doggy action. Jack Osbourne, the most prominent of the reporters uses a thermal imaging camera to catch any possible events. And right on cue, would you believe it a dog like creature runs within close vicinity of the Dana and the spooky image is captured on camera. It surely must be a killer dog hound right? More likely a coyote you my thing, and with good reason as this is verified later in the episode as the most likely explanation much to jack's disappointment. So the spookyness continues and we move on to a cave near the sighting. At the entrance of the cave Jack balances a lantern on a rock while making a point of commutating on doing so. How strange! Perhaps this may come into play later in the episode! They move further into the cave and to kill there's and the viewer's boredom, they play with some gadgets. Suddenly they hear a scratching noise and the lantern falls of the rock. Holy cow! Run for your lives we are all gonna be eaten by the ghost of scooby doo! Well no, actually the excitement is over for the night and they head home unscathed with no wounds to lick. Perhaps rubbing essence of scooby snack on Dana Workman's petrified naked body would of enticed the dogs from hell and entertained us a little more. To offset the boredom, the reports predictably over dramatise proceeding. With the help of some clever editing and a back pack full of gadgets Jack and his sidekicks hope to hold the attention of the viewer . To their credit they do it well, but with so little to work with in the form of real action, coupled with a distinct tendency to take itself seriously, the show holds little substance and soon becomes painfully predictable and pointless . So if you want to be scared out of your skin, head to the nearest forest wearing little more than a scream mask , eat some wild spindly mushrooms and chant 'ace of diamonds, queen of spades while tilting your head but don't bother watching haunted highways .

kralnor warlockrox Nice show. Love the overall style. Somehow jack and crew managed to make an original looking and styled paranormal investigation show. Plus, I would tune in weekly to watch jael depardo read the phone book.I have to admit I wasn't expecting much. I mean, how can here be another one of these damn shows?? I'm glad to report this show comes off nothing like the others of its ilk. Very little forced humor, very few (maybe none?) Distracting post- production sound effects, which I appreciate greatly after every episode of ghost hunters now opens with a failed evp it seems.Definitely recommended add to your ghost hunters/ destination truth /fact or faked line up.
