Haunted State: Whispers from History Past (2014)

Haunted State: Whispers from History Past: Directed by Michael Brown. With Michael Brown, Chelsy Stine, David Williams, Amy Flunker. Come along for a journey investigating Wisconsin’s most famous historic buildings and the paranormal folklore inside. Is history alive? Are ghosts real? Does scientific equipment exist that allow us to communicate with “ghosts”?

“Even in 2014, ghost hunting was mainstream and everyone under 80 already knew everything that this filmmaker chose to drone on and on (and on) about…nAlmost immediately, you know this is going to suck…when the opening clip asks u0026quot;do ghosts exist?u0026quot; And the response is u0026quot;what IS a ghost?u0026quot; *Hint, that is the type of response given every time someone is trying to avoid an answer*nNext, the narrator decides to list every single person involved in the movie, one of which is named u0026quot;Big Eu0026quot; (no scientific breakthroughs were ever performed by someone named u0026quot;Big Eu0026quot;. Also, why do you force us to listen to 2 minutes of listing cast members, then immediately list them all one by one in the next scene?nAlso, we could have done without each cast member listing adjectives THEY believe describe them.nThe entire u0026quot;movieu0026quot; was incredibly amateurish, poorly filmed, and narrated with a god-awful Wisconsin accent.nThere was nothing about this film that I enjoyed. The techniques used were overly simplistic, the cast was unattractive, and the entire thing was unappealing.nThese were amateurs, portraying themselves as self-proclaimed u0026quot;expertsu0026quot; who jumped at every shadow and found u0026quot;evidenceu0026quot; in everything they could justify to themselves. Every creak was a u0026quot;spiritu0026quot; and every flash of light in photos were spectral eyes.nItu0026#39;s been my experience that ghost hunters typically fall into two types, those who NEVER find evidence and those who ALWAYS find evidence, this crew definitely falls into the later.nAll-in-all, this is definitely one of those Amazon prime movies that exists only to serve as a filler, so they may boast the quantity of their library. Itu0026#39;s not worth the time or effort it takes to watch this movie. Avoid it!”
