Some time ago, I discovered, and subsequently got hooked on a new show. I was channel surfing and found something called "Celebrity Ghost Stories". I've always been fascinated by the paranormal and decided to check it out. Within minutes, I was engulfed.
It's setup is pretty simple, get celebrities of varying grade to sit down and recount instance where they've come across spirits. There aren't any A-listers, I doubt you'll see Brad Pitt or Johnny Depp on there anytime soon, but they get some recognizable people.
While the celebrities sit down and tell what happened, we get a visual representation via re-enactment. They're well done, but the fact that the actors are played by other actors is perplexing. Even so, they add to the viewing experience. There are times where they try to do a scary voice for the ghost, but it falls flat, beyond that though, it can be creepy when it wants to be.
Even if you're a skeptic who doesn't believe in ghosts, I still think this is a good watch as the stories are fascinating in their own right. Who knows, it might open your mind up to the possibility, but I'll admit that that might be a long shot.
Believer or not, this show is highly entertaining. It has a strong atmosphere and you get to see a side to celebrities that even the tabloids won't cover.
