I really do like this show as it does a WONDERFUL job telling the stories and depicting them! It will really give you constant goosebumps! However I started to become skeptical on how real it may be when I noticed in the first episode about the driskal hotel that there was an image shown of a white figure on a stair case and the women states that the ghost they saw on their hotel staircase "may be the same one from a hotel across the street" and then in episode 5 the same picture is shown to be in the pride house. I looked up to see how close they are & if it could have traveled but they are over 5 hours from each other. I wouldn't call that neighboring enough for a ghost to travel to. The facts seemed to be a bit off and makes me wonder how much more isn't accurate. I wasn't sure also if I was the only one to notice this inconsistency. I still however love the show and will still continue to watch it!!

My dog does not like ghost stories
csmcmackin7317 July 2023
My dog has a physical reaction to this show. I am on S3E7, he whines at the TV. Not every episode so when I went back to watch it, thinking it has been whole week since I watched on Discovery+ my yorkie Prince would be alright I gave him a calming Peanut butter treat so we shall see. He does like watching TV and this show is not violent to watch. They say dogs sense evil because on the episodes that talk about possession or evil spirit, he gets upset. I love binging this show and so does my husband. The last season was in 2013, hope they can come back so I can see if my dog will react the same way. I'm gonna keep watching it and hold his little paw.
For believers in the paranormal, "My Ghost Story" is a fantastic and spooky reality-show!

Since 2010, the Biography channel documentary series "My Ghost Story" (apparantly renamed this most recent season as "My Ghost Story: Caught on Camera", and based on two specials from 2008 called "My Ghost Story: Hauntings Revealed") is a fiendish, frightening and compelling reality- series for believers in the paranormal. It is one of several paranormal- themed reality/documentary series on the channel, and is arguably the best. Not only does it thrill audiences, but it also is quite comprehensive, and will often go into theories about ghosts/how they function/potential evidence, etc.
Each episode is broken down into a few segments, generally lasting 5-10 minutes each. Each story provides interviews with the ones who experience the paranormal activity, in addition to dramatic re- creations. However, most of the stories also give us good amounts of the back-story of each allegedly-haunted location and who has lived there, and almost always, we are given photographic, audio or even video evidence from the witnesses. This is part of what makes this series so compelling, especially for believers like myself.
The production is also very strong. Re-creations are well-made, the editing is top-notch. The atmosphere and music are first-rate. This is a very competently put-together series.
However, even as a believer, I have to seriously question some of the things on this show. Particularly, some of the evidence presented as fact on the show is highly debatable. (I'll vomit if I see another "orb" photos, because they are so easy to fake or confuse with dust in the air) Also, there is some stretching of evidence, and some severe pseudo-science that drives me nuts. This is a problem with most paranormal-themed shows- because paranormal is not definable by modern science, there has to be a certain amount of conjecture and theory, and it's sometimes hard to take some ideas seriously, even as a believer.
All that being said, though, "My Ghost Story" is an incredibly eerie and unsettling series. While it will be hard for skeptics to take seriously, I'd highly recommend this series to my fellow believers. It gets a very strong 9 out of 10 from me. Check it out, preferably in the dark, by yourself or with someone you can nestle up to when the chills run down your spine...

My Ghost Story: S06E12

So, please let me know if anyone else found this odd. During the section on the haunted hotel (Hotel Palomar) sp? There is the photographer who shoots the models in period clothing. Anyway he shows a picture of the model heading up the stairs and in it is a blurred figure of a man in period clothing. The man says he can't explain it and that he believes the figure moved a stack of brochures. But my problem is it looks like two pictures together. I cannot remember the exact term for this, something with exposure. I believe he snapped a photo whether accidentally or on purpose of the model moving the brochure stack or he snapped a photo of the man picking up the prop gun off the table. It sure looks like the prop gun and the figure sure looks like the model. Now I am a believer but I have a healthy dose of skepticism saved for fakers. It annoys me when people try to fake things. It makes the paranormal seem as wacky as it once was instead of a serious and newly explored realm of science.
Listen save your time on this one...

From production to the one's interviewed this was the most shody work done and people out of their dang basement could have produced something better. The one's telling the stories seem stuck in the 60/70's and/or on illegal psychedelic drugs. The stories are so short that you can't really even get what they are trying to show you or tell you. For one's living in these place's, they sure get like NO proof of anything beside's some dirty blurry glass or pic's taken. Think these people are one's to buy into their own lies. Let alone llike all of the would really know or have proper equipemnt to do a ghost hunt?? Yeah more like they are messing with things they shouldn't if they happen to have something real there. I think my unborn grandchild could have done something better...lol...
