Could have been better.......2007-03-11

Well i'll start with the good. This DVD is actually pretty interesting and the ghost hunter knows all his tools very well. He talked/showed a lot of things that i've never seen before. I was very entertained and the movie was easily able to keep my attention for the whole 25 minutes. There is also a few creepy scenes to boot.

Now the bad... First of all, this movie is way too short. Should have been at least an hour. Also, had I been the one creating the DVD, I would have made sure to include something more concrete then just some "orbs" (looked like dust particles to me) and clammering sounds on a tape recorder. I also would have included some kind of special features.

This movie is not worth the near 25 dollar price mark... for 25 minutes this movie should be 10 bucks in my opinion. But hey, if it ever does go down that low, then its a great buy! Rent first like i did though.

Fascinating look at a real ghosthunter in action!.......2005-11-08

This dvd shows a serious paranormal investigator at work and explains how he uses various equipment to document unusual phenomena. Those who expected the dvd to be something like tv's "Most Haunted" would undoubtedly be disappointed. Those of us who actually investigate hauntings, however, realize that 99% of the time nothing happens--but that 1% is worth waiting for! It would have been a plus had the history of the house and the phenomena experienced by its owners been mentioned, but apparently the owners preferred not to share that information.

My ghosthunting group found it fascinating, and we hope this is only the first of a series of "basic ghosthunting" dvds by LEMUR.

INTELLIGENT INSIGHT ON PROFESSIONAL GHOST HUNTING.......2004-12-27

As a longtime ghost hunter, this documentary is the most realistic depiction I've seen of an actual ghost investigation. The host presents the material in an honest, straightforward way, and allows the viewer to see what does, or does not, happen. It's by far the best video I've seen on how to conduct a ghost investigation using a wide range of different tools. This documentary is not intended to be some cheezy scare fest, or a thrill ride. It's mainly an instructional guide for serious people who want to understand how to properly research a haunted house. The host not only explains how equipment works (like EMF meters, night vision scopes, etc.) but also theories about what a ghost might actually be. If you want to be scared, don't buy this documentary, but if you want some serious, mature, intelligent insight on professional ghost hunting, this is a perfect addition to your library. The location is wonderful and the documentary is never boring, especially considering it was a 100 percent one-man project. Warren has a lot of experience and it shows.

25 minute documentary in which NOTHING happens!!!!!!!.......2004-12-19

Do not, I repeat do not buy this DVD. I have loved documentaries about hauntings and ghosts since I was a kid and have seen them all. Usually even the bad ones are somewhat enjoyable - 'cause even if the "genuine" ghost phenomena part of the show isn't quite cutting it, they'll at least go the opposite route into the totally over the top, phony, Halloween-decoration / horror movie effects, where you know that, even though it's obviously a joke, at least the producers are showing you SOMETHING!
But ALONE IN A HAUNTED HOUSE is the first one I've seen where absolutely NOTHING happens! There's no coverage of anything that could possibly be accepted as evidence of a real haunting. There isn't even any entertainingly cheesy phony stuff.
Host JOSH cocks his eyebrows, nods his head, and speaks with self-important, "Mr. Hollywood" theatrics. He spends the first half of the "film" (I hate to call it that - at 25 minutes it's not even the length of a Bullwinkle cartoon) showing us his "scientific equipment" which consists of a silly hand-held radar dish, stereo headphones, a noisy battery tester, magnets, window fans, and strobe lights to explain how a ghost can be detected. A walking tour of the admittedly cool-looking haunted house is underscored by a pre-recorded soundtrack of hip-hop beats and "evil" whispering. Josh stresses to us that this house and the surrounding grounds are infamous, not just for being haunted but for a history of terrible events that happened there - OK, no problem - explaining the history of haunted places always goes a long way toward adding some creepiness - BUT HE NEVER TELLS US what the terrible events were!!!!!
Next Josh plays an audio recording which he says reveals sounds of unknown origin - but it's just static, with an occasional, microphone "bonk" thrown in. He tells us that the white dots flitting past the camera on the "night vision" footage are ghostly manifestations in the room. How dumb does he think the audience is? They are obviously moths or gnats zipping about. Josh makes a big deal of "ghostly orbs" on various still photographs. They are nothing but pin-prick-sized white spots on low-grade film. And then it ends. Credits roll. That's it. I've basically just described the entire show to you point by point.
I got a good laugh out of watching this vacuous, empty, noneventful DVD only because my friend was the one who bought it, only to discover that he had been cheated, not me. So I was able to laugh at its ineptitude without feeling the bitter sting of "Oh my God I got robbed!" which my friend was obviously suffering. That said, I have to ask: What's host Josh's angle? Did he intend this as a satire? An extremely dry-humored parody? Or just a good old fashioned scam? Either way, I beg you not to make the same mistake my friend did. If you buy this DVD you will feel like the joke is on YOU!
