Creaking floors and bizarre apparitions turn up in old buildings. People in an old New England inn hear a young girl dancing upstairs, while patrons at a country & western bar in Kentucky are assaulted by characters who seem to emerge from a dark and violent past. The Unexplained: Poltergeist, from A&E, seeks to explain what could be causing these strange phenomena. Interviews with people who have encountered apparitions or have heard the strange sounds in empty rooms appear totally credible, yet psychologists suggest that the witnesses may be imagining more than they actually have seen or heard. The video takes a balanced and open-minded approach, letting the witnesses, ghost-hunters, and skeptics speak for themselves. As one would expect from A&E, the production values are excellent, and the material is presented in a highly professional manner. Still, there's no denying that some of the subject matter is extremely creepy. Are murder victims haunting old buildings and harassing today's inhabitants? If you don't mind the hair on the back of your neck standing up, you can watch and be the judge. --Robert J. McNamara

Product Description
" The name conjures up images of vengeful spirits and chilling manifestations. They have been the subject of some of the most successful and memorable horror movies of all time. But what is a poltergeist are they demons, ghosts or the manifestation of the psychic energy of a living person? POLTERGEIST investigates four very different cases of paranormal incidents looking for answers. In most cases, there is undeniable, physical evidence that something happened the real world was affected. But by what? Probe the minds of the people who have seen poltergeists firsthand and those who are trying to uncover the truth behind them. Dramatic re-enactments bring these terrifying encounters to life, and chilling interviews with victims detail exactly what happened. From a Kentucky honky-tonk to ancient English universities, visit the sites where the phenomenon have occurred. As psychics and scientists grapple with the mystery of poltergeists, the real answers may lie hidden in the minds of those who have met them."

5.0 out of 5 stars A VERY interesting look into the Unexplained................, February 26, 1999

By A Customer

This video is also a tv show that has been shown many times on cable and Satilite dish tv. This video shows a VERY interesting look into the mysteries of the unexplained. It follows several people's stories(which I believe to be true)who have poltergeists in their lives. The dramatic reenactment of theese occurances are VERY well done and interesting!!!! If you want to know more about ghosts, hauntings, the mysteries of the unknown, or if you just want a good scare than I highly recommened this video!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Thorough and objective study of unexplained poltergeist stories, January 3, 2007

By	Z. Freeman "Zach" (Austin, TX) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Unexplained - Poltergeist (DVD)

This is a pretty interesting documentary. It covers four poltergeist stories in various locations. What makes this documentary interesting is the thoroughness with which each case is adressed. There are in-depth interviews with the witnesses and people who experienced the events discussed, reenactments of events described, a history of the building or area where the events took place, and interviews with different scientists and psychologists explaining how the occurences could have been caused naturally. (i.e. old plumbing carrying voices from over a mile away so that they sound like they are nearby).

The overall objective feel of the entire show helps add to the credibility of some of the stories, and it really leaves everything up to the viewer to decide how they feel about the incidents. If you're interested in the paranormal and hauntings/poltergeists, it's definitely worth a watch.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a Great Vid!, May 23, 2001

By	Dingoes Ate My Baby (London, England) - See all my reviews

I must admit I really am super interested in Ghost, sprits, Poltergeists etc, and I absolutly loved this video!.

My favourite story was the one about the ghost haunting the two young sisters "Tara Walker 14" & "Devon Walker 7" it was really spooooky! (It was probably just a fix!..but I LOVED it anyway!. If you love things about ghosts etc. then I do not only recommend this Gem, I also recommend the first two Poltergeist movies as well (no relation to this vid accept for the theme).

Don't bother with the 3rd one it was really poor.

All I can really say is "Get you're Pizza, turn all you're lights off get a copy of this Vid & the two Poltergeist movies and get ready for a night of TERRROR!

P.S - NOT FOR THE WEEK AT HEART.
