He says the documentary True Hauntings is « creepier than most horror films » – and can easily be binge-watched in one evening.
He said: « Netflix have dropped a brand-new documentary series that you need to add to your watch list immediately. »
It tells the story of two different hauntings – one involving a young boy who is being haunted in college by a « evil spirit, » and the other involving a haunted mansion.
EccyReviews adds: « If you’re a fan of hauntings and paranormal activity stuff then this is going to be right up your street. »
Commenting on his video, one user said: « Watched all tonight, very scary to think these things are happening. »
Another user added: « The twist at the end makes it even creepier! »
A third user said: « Went to Geneseo during this time. Lived in Erie. Everyone knew it was happening. I was always spooked out staying alone there when my roommate was away. I didn’t know the kids that this happened to. I’m in the picture in episode 3. »
One more user added: « I’m on episode 3, dude it’s creepy. I’ve never seen anything like this. »
On IMDb, on viewer commented: « Are the re-enactments dramatised? Yes. Did they give you that disclaimer that at the beginning of every episode? Also, yes.
« Overall, I felt like the actors did a pretty solid job in portraying their characters. The stories were well told and it’s understood that re-enactments can tend to be a bit embellished to keep an audience engaged.
« They held interviews with the real people who experienced these hauntings, the emotions felt authentic, and the creators did a great job in bringing these experiences to life.
« Overall, I was drawn in, entertained, and I felt like this hit the perfect spot for the spooky season. Don’t skip this one. »
Another added: « So I’ve watched a lot of these kinds of series. Most of them are cheesy and make my eyes roll.
« This one, however, had a real true crimes feel to it… The series has you connecting with the individuals when sharing their experience with death.
« The feelings that everybody was sharing seemed really genuine and everybody seemed a little shaken up by what had happened. They did a good job with the theatrics and re-enactment as well.
« I jumped a couple of times. It was kind of scary and I haven’t said that about any of the series I have watched so far. Definitely worth watching forming your own opinion! Watch with a friend… Tis the season. »
