What Parents Need to Know

About Most Haunted

Parents need to know that this documentary-style series investigates paranormal activity and -- with its graphic descriptions of murder, torture, and assault -- is purposely designed to scare viewers. Although some team members are skeptical, the general consensus is that the crew regularly witnesses paranormal activity. Participants claim to feel and see ghosts, and one medium seems to become possessed by a spirit during many episodes. Some folks will certainly enjoy the brief thrill that all of this offers, but younger and more sensitive viewers should steer clear.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about the appeal of scary movies and TV shows. Why do people purposely choose to watch things that will frighten them? What's the appeal? Families can also discuss ghosts and spirits. Do you believe in otherworldly beings? Have you had any experiences that can't be explained by logic or science? What role does the belief in spirits, ghosts, and the paranormal play in our lives and in our culture?
