Parents need to know that real people discuss their real-life experiences with hauntings and other paranormal activity in this hourlong documentary series, which amps up the fear factor with creepy lighting, angled camera shots, and photographic and video "evidence" of the experiences. Though not much violence is actually shown, many of the stories involve very vivid descriptions of violent acts, such as hangings, shootings, murders, and suicides -- which makes it too scary for younger viewers.
Positive messages:The overall message suggests that spirits are everywhere, which could frighten younger kids. Not every ghost is friendly, either.
Positive role models:A few ghosts seem benevolent, but many of the stories involve ghosts who are said to actively torment the living from beyond the grave.
Violence:Although the show isn't visually graphic, many stories involve vividly told incidents of violence, including murders, suicides, and other deadly accidents. People talk about dead bodies, mutilated corpses, hangings, shootings, etc.
Sex:A few stories involve the ghosts of presumed prostitutes or "women of the night."
Nice Show, But Scary Effects to Actually MAKE IT Scary.
Well, I LOVE this show, man! I mean, I understand why commonsensemedia decided to review it for 12+. It actually just depends on how mature the kid/teen watching it is. I really am a bit scared, because when I was watching it I felt something on my back, like two hands pushing me down. But I ignored it. So, I thought it was my imagination, because I was a little scared, so that's why I think it's for 11+. There are MANY sound effects and other effects that make the show scary, so I'm with the rating of the show; Parental Guidance Suggested. Hope this helped!
