Haunted – Incredible testimonies

In the documentary series “Haunted – Incredible Witness Reports”, different people in each episode describe their eerie, paranormal encounters. In the second episode, Terrilyn and Sadie talk about growing up with their serial killer father. The sisters’ nephew, Jacob, who now lives in the family home, reports that the house is haunted by his grandfather’s victims.

The typical horror genre is at the beginning of each episode: “The following is a true story”. The stories are re-enacted with the actors, but according to the creators of the documentaries, they were actually meant to act as well. Whether this is really the case remains to be seen. At the end of each episode, you should ask yourself “X-Factor-style”: “Did this story really happen, or did we (or the show’s producers) make it up?”
