Reader Reviews : Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files

User Rating 2.5 Star Rating (85 Reviews)

By , About.com Guide

The Syfy channel has a new show called "Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files," which is sort of a cross between "Ghost Hunters," "MonsterQuest" and "Mythbusters." The investigative team finds video clips of ghosts, monsters, UFOs and other unexplained phenomena and tries to explain them, debunk them, or prove them genuine. What do you think of the show?

Loved this show last season

An OK job

I think they do an OK job on the show, it's how they talk that DRIVES ME CRAZY, like "I'm all framed up" is just dumb, just say "I'm ready", or "Let's go green" when they get read for an IR recording…More

Mostly ridiculous

I have to admit, though I cannot seem to stop watching this show, it has mostly ridiculous debunking scenarios, to an almost comedic level. For example: the episode that is causing me to write this r…More

Emphasis on hype

Emphasis on hype, noise, flash... and that was just the SyFy bumper and constant background to work up a repetitive show (Great for the AD/HD crowd), and two constant leggy nit models... where's the …More

A stupid show

Wow this is a stupid show. There's nothing else on TV and I'm watching an episode right now, the only one I've seen, but I'm not going to be watching any more. There was the usual fuzzy video of a my…More

This show offends me.

This show offends me. It's offensive because they pick things that are solved by simple logic; yet they use extravagant ways to try to debunk them. Honestly, if there's a light on the water in a fish…More

It has good footage, but....

It has good footage, but there are many obvious ways that some videos can be proven. The team does not use common sense to prove their videos. Such as the Paulding Light. The very high powered flashl…More

Doesn't prove or disprove a thing

Dull and doesn't prove or disprove a thing. Of course everything can be faked nowadays. What's the point of telling us that? It doesn't mean the original is any more or less authentic. And whose dumb…More

Doesn't prove anything

This show attempts to show that all the various phenomena the cast investigates could have been faked. Well, almost anything can be faked nowadays. Typical show: "Someone videotaped an unusual light …More

I had my hopes

Before I began to watch this show I had my hopes up. This show was going to be as good as Destination Truth, or so I thought. My hopes quickly vanished after the first few minutes of viewing. The hos…More

Awful Show

Truly horrible, truly awful show. It is completely amateurish and the conclusions are clearly sloppily reached. I've given this show a few chances as I tend to be a fan of decent paranormal shows and…More

Cases not like originals

Yes I completely agree, most of their cases are not like the original at all. Some of them not even close! But they claim they proved it was a fake. And why do they never confront the people personal…More
