This show is all about personal accounts. It is okay, except they only seem to focus on one type of haunting, which is the demonic haunt. My guess is that those types of haunts make for the best TV because they produce varied reactions in people and they also produce varied paranormal events. Even so, the show is fairly tame in the scary department.

If they wanted to improve, they could try to make it a little more educational by branching out into different types of haunts. The acting in the show is fairly believable but the special effects need some work.

Overall, it's not bad for daytime TV, but I can't help but think that if you've seen one episode, you've seen them all.

Discovery channel claims that they are "The #1 nonfiction media company" in the world. I'd believe it if it weren't for "A Haunting." This show insults my intelligence and I'm always quick to change the channel. This show should be dumped into the hands of the programming geeks over at Sci-Fi network.

As daytime entertainment this is a decent show. However Discovery has always been about having shows that educate and inform as well as entertain and in that way this show fails miserably. The episodes are formed around unverified personal accounts and embellished by special effects to the degree that they become little more then a type of urban legend, too amazing to believe. Don t think that being on Discovery makes this show anything more then modern fantasy.

Quite possiably the best kept secret on cable television. "A Haunting" has great narration, believable actors, grade A special effects, and most importantly, scary! It's hard to believe that a paranormal dramatization t.v. show can be spooky (let alone entertaining), but somehow Discovery Channel has managed to create something special here. I just finished watching the "Summer Wind" episode, and I jumped violently twice. Great fun!

This production is always a treat. Usually done well.

I look forward to Thursdays because of this show. It opens your eyes to how much we don't know about the world we live in and it adds relevance to the reasons to be spiritually armed, prepared and aware.

less of special effects and dramatization.. what makes this show great is a simple narration of actual incidents with least of effort to add spices to original story. knowing that it is real, it has chilled me more than even my favorite horror - The Ring.
