5.0 out of 5 stars Creepy and unforgettable...Heidi Wyrick inspires, December 20, 2008

By	Kristin J. Johnson "Three-time published author" (Palm Desert, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I recommend buying The Veil: Heidi Wyrick's Story The Veil to find out all the details this haunting documentary doesn't reveal (because of time constraints and storytelling).

As it is, this documentary can stand on its own. I caught this on the Discovery Channel by accident and was stunned to realize this was the same family from "Mr. Gordy's Ghost" in Unsolved Mysteries: Ghosts Unsolved Mysteries.

I have nothing but respect for the Wyrick family and especially Heidi, who innocently befriended a man long dead. Their faith and fortitude are sorely tested by the bizarre occurrences and by the spirits---some good, some neutral, and some downright evil--that are drawn to Heidi.

The staging, as with the rest of this series, is definitely Hollywood and calculated for effect, but it works, it makes you keep watching. The narrators achieve the right somber tone. The actor playing "Mr. Gordy" as well as the one playing "Con" tug at your heart, they are so believable.

And the actor playing the menacing "dark figure" (shadow person) that terrorized Heidi deserves his/her kudos for being convincingly creepy. In every scene with the dark figure, I had to cover my eyes for a moment (there's a moment in the DVD when Heidi is following the ghost of a little girl, and the dark figure appears casually in one room Heidi passes in a blink-and-miss-it moment).

But it is Heidi that shines in this documentary with her vulnerability and her strength. It was also nice to see Dr. William Roll of "Unsolved Mysteries" fame.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty Good, November 29, 2008

By	M. Reinhart - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This DVD is pretty good. In this episode, a young family moves into a new house and their three-year-old encounters an "imaginary friend" that they later learn is the ghost of a man that died before the girl's birth. Years later, the family learns that both their daughters are actually psychic, an ability they inherited from their mother's side of the family. It's pretty good. The scariest part, though, are the couple's parenting skills. At one point, the father arms himself and jumps in his truck to go driving around looking for an old man that wanted to play with his daughter. I'm just curious to know how he would have found the right old man, and what exactly he would have done if he had encountered an elderly man within the vicinity of his house.

This segment of A Haunting was a little slow, but really good. I enjoy having it in my collection. If you like the series, you will like this one.
