Celebrity Ghost Stories (Biography Channel)
common sense media says
Stars' supernatural encounters are theatrically spooky.
parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this series -- in which celebrities describe their personal encounters with the supernatural -- features often-eerie reenactments of the hauntings. Some of the reenactments have violent content too, including distorted images of physical abuse and discussion of potentially upsetting topics like children's deaths. Celebs sometimes use salty language when narrating their stories (words like “hell” are audible, though those like “s--t" and “f--k” are bleeped), too. Bottom line? The show offers plenty of creepy thrills, but younger and/or more sensitive viewers may find it a little too spooky.
Positive role models:
There's not much in the way of obvious role model content here. Some of the celebs respect the idea that the dead are communicating with them, while others are just frightened by the experience.
Violence:
Some stories describe how the deceased were abused during their lifetime. Children's deaths are also sometimes discussed. Some ghosts allegedly throw, push, and/or harm things (including animals). Some of these events are reenacted, but the actual violence is blurred.
Sex:
Not applicable.
Language:
Words like “hell” are audible. Occasional stronger curses like “s--t” and “f--k” are bleeped.
Consumerism:
The show's focus is more on the celebs' creepy encounters than their fame and/or performances.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
Occasional references to drugs and drinking.

Some of the best ghost stories you'll hear!
Although some of the stars are people you may have never of heard of before, some are well-known. This is one of my favorite shows, though. It's really interesting, some stories are creepy and I watch it every Saturday night! Some are really good, and others aren't bad, but every episode is awesome.

Pretty Good, From What I Remembered.
Well, I watched it once, and I remember a little of it. As I remember it, it's not even scary! I thought it was very interesting! Man, I sound like a nerd O_O. Well, maybe the effects, yes. But aren't shows based on paranormal activity supposed to be scary? Yes, yes they are.
