Ghostly Encounters is an interesting little show that's been showing on the Biography cable network for the past few years. It comes from Canada, and it's hosted by a very pleasant young man, Lawrence Cho.
Cho stands in what looks like an old, abandoned ball room as he introduces each segment. An allegedly true ghost story is then told by the person or persons who experienced it. Seated in a spotlighted chair on an otherwise empty set they tell their stories as the viewers are shown a dramatic recreation of the events they describe. At the end of the segment Cho sums up and comments on each story. Ghostly Encounters is a half-hour show with two stories covered over each episode.
This show is very entertaining and some of the stories are very interesting. The only problem is they often times can not be verified. Typically there is no evidence presented that could back their stories; no photos, no videos nor EVP recordings. It's just a man or woman telling a story of their own personal ghostly encounter, and it's up to the audience to decide whether or not they're telling the truth.
I enjoy this show. I don't go out of my way to watch it, nor do I think it's as good as another Biography Channel show, Dead Famous. But it's still entertaining, and it's the kind of show your kids can watch without getting scared out of their wits.
Ghostly Encounters airs on weekends. Check with your local provider for times.
