4.0 out of 5 stars Leave the Lights On!, September 7, 2000

This review is from: Ghost Stories [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is an entertaining series. Done in a news magazine style each tape takes a look at a different region or different type of haunting. Since each tape covers a wide range of hauntings, only a few stories are with any sort of depth on each tape. There are a few stories that I wish that they would have delved deeper into and that is one of the reasons I took off a star and because of the last tape. The last tape in the series is a historical look at folklore all over the world and seems really out of place. I think serious ghost hunters might be disappointed but someone just starting out getting into ghostly legends and stories will really enjoy it...just skip the last tape.

This review is from: Ghost Stories [VHS] (VHS Tape)

If you're intrigued by the paranormal, you'll enjoy this collection of documentaries. I bought mine from an e-Bay seller, who advertised that these stories will give you the chills. I was intrigued and entertained, by these stories didn't keep me awake at night. Most of them take place in Texas and Arizona, while a few were in the midwest and California. They also talked about the Native American and Asian customs concerning the spirit world which I thought were fascinating. I was surprised that there was no coverage of the eastern seaboard, which is teeming with all sorts of spirits, ranging back to the colonial and Civil War periods. Perhaps the original show was cancelled before they got the chance to seek out these places. At any rate, I think you'll enjoy the stories on these tapes. The reason I give this product a 4-star review instead of a 5 was the quality of the tapes. I had problems with the second and sixth tapes jumping all over the place before my VCR adjusted them. Still, I recommend this video set.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Ghosts For Teachers, June 18, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Ghost Stories [VHS] (VHS Tape)

If you enjoy ghost stories from different cultures and the histories behind them, you'll love Vol 6. in this series. Classic folklore about each story is told by a scholar from that culture and the story is re-enacted. A lot of information and fun is crammed into this one hour video. I would think writing teachers and reading teachers could use this in a classroom setting. A good lead into the classic horror stories.
