I'll always give a haunting doc a try, but often times they are lame and I turn them off. This one did not disappoint. It's 5 episodes, the first three are about one Haunting in the 80s at a college in New York. The last two episodes are about a house that a couple bought in the mid-2000s near Salt Lake City. The stories themselves are intriguing, but the accounts that people have about what went down plug a lot of holes that often times you see in these types of stories. It left me truly believing in ghosts, which I generally don't. The crazy connection discovered after the fact in the first story is mind-bending. Definitely worth watching. I actually watched it twice.

Not a TV show, but have you been listening to the Otherworld podcast? Great firsthand accounts of paranormal activity. It gets pretty creepy at times.

Agreed, looking forward to where this goes. Hoping it doesn't get all "Severance" which started out great and now feels like it could just go on forever and never resolve. Pluribus gives us an idea of possible endings already, which is reassuring. I hope it keeps to one season, two tops.

But it's Vince Gilligan. He's been knocking out of the park since X Files.

He's had some duds.

The Wire took a full season to get itself together. Some things need space to grow. We'll see.

Nouvelle Vague, coming to Netflix on November 14, 2025 in the U.S. This looks like it'll be worth a watch.
