Summary: Originality
Review: I think it is a very original approach that I have never seen before. The elegance and way the images are showed and it is a documentary very deep about the existence of such energies. Rob invited me to give my participation with the Music "Tedeum" and I am very glad with the results. Don"t miss this VHS. Musically yours, Anaya.

Summary: Yes, real spirits ARE on this video
Review: In the New Hope Cemetery, on a completely clear night, the camera captured ectoplasmic mist moving over the fence, as well as filming the "orbs". And you can also see the main spirit "orb" in that segment change color and shape. I've NEVER seen flashlights or "light reflections" do that. Nor have I seen flashlights with the intensity of color and brightness as those spirit. And the video of Logan Inn Room Six is amazing in the number of spirits who "flood" the room. But, I suppose if a person is not inclined to believe in spirits, and is cynical about images recorded by others, no amount of evidence will be enough. I guess belief in spirits will always, in the end, be a matter of faith. But if you open your heart, this video will give you amazing visual proof of the existence of spirits. Even more proof (sound and images) is seen on the producer's other video, America's Most Haunted Inns-Bucks County.

Summary: Boring but great orb videos
Review: Overall I thought this video was pretty boring. It's mainly just story telling and non of it are re-enacted. At the end of the video they did have some of the best orb videos I have ever seen. I've watched this video twice already. The second time I watched it, I fast forwarded to the orb videos.
I think this video is worth seeing, but I don't think it's worth the price at all.

Summary: New Hope, PA
Review: Overall, I liked the documentary 'America's Most Haunted Town'. The documentors set up the basic history of the town nicely and Cathe Curtis was a wonder. The historical background of the town was concise; however, some of the interviewies still weren't quite convincing - even though they stated to "see" some remarkable paranormal phenomenon, this kept the documentary from being completely believable for those who are skeptics anyway. Though not a skeptic myself, my contemporaries were found still wanting believable proof of paranormal phenomena activity. The photo/didgital proof of (for lack of a better term) orbs was remarkable. The inner spirit of Cathe Curtis conversing with these 'spirit people' was extraordinary, and how they came to her sometimes enveloping her was amaizing. This sort of documentary brings us closer to proving or helping to prove that the living are not alone - we share a great deal of our world with the dead.
Nicely done.

Summary: Disapointed
Review: The description of this video states there are actual sightings of spirits in their many forms. I viewed the tape several times in hopes of at least catching a glimpse of something, but to my disappointment - nothing but a few orbs, which are easily produced by light reflection.Ms. Curtis' approach to the spirit world is cutesy, but seems somewhat demeaning. "Can we take your image? Aren't you precious." Even my 8 year old daughter rolled her eyes at that.

Summary: Don't waster your money!
Review: This DVD is horrible! I can't believe I am out $24 dollars for it. First they put this ugly woman on as the introduction. She's got a mole on her face the size of a tire. Then they have the nerve to have us believe that little white spots on people are ghosts. I have seen so many films on TV that showed us so much more, and was much more entertaining. I bought this DVD as an investment. I like to share my movies with others. Please don't waste your money. bba

Summary: The most amazing footage of ghosts I've ever seen
Review: This video is so different than most ghost shows...and for that reason it is GREAT!! There are no silly "ghost" reenactments... but, instead, some absolutely incredible photos and VIDEO of spirits in their "soul forms" and "ectoplasmic forms"...you can actually see spirits "floating" (I don't know how else to describe it!) by the camera...and you can tell they're not dust, flashlights, whatever else a skeptic may suspect. And because the director just lets you watch without "slicking" it up with fancy editing or graphics, you can actually watch the spirits in real time, as they were filmed. And the "sensitive" featured on the show, Cathe Curtis, is utterly believable: down to earth, funny...how many ghost shows make you laugh? All in all I thoroughly enjoyed this show. And I have to admit, the last segment, in the New Hope Cemetery, brought me to tears it was so absolutely beautiful and moving. You simply have to watch it to know what I mean. I cried like a baby...and I still tear up when I see watch it..but as Ms. Curtis says in the show, it was a "happy cry."

Summary: America's Most Ridiculous "Sensitive"
Review: When I saw another documentary, or docudrama, made for tv, called "Saved By The Light," I found it very fascinating; "The Peter Hurkos Story..." now there was a real psychic; the story of "The Rain Boy," featured on "Unsolved Mysteries," there too was a remarkable account of a true ghost story! Every Monday I watch "Weird Travels" on The Travel Channel, and often the accounts showcased in many of the hour-long documentaries are just excellent and, for the most part, believable. But Cathe Curtis' touchy feelie love affair with ectoplasm, if it is that, and her seemingly fictional ghostly "beautiful people," made me want to cry real tears it was so ridiculous!
Everyone else in the film, the hotel owners; the theatre owner; the man who wrote ghost stories and who is a rather interesting person to listen to when he discusses the local lore, even the ghosts, whom you don't really see (I didn't see anything except a few "orbs") and they could have been light reflection or swamp gas for all I know? Really, all you do see are a few lights caught by the camera and a lot of insects and dust. I saw something but I'm pretty sure it wasn't ghosts I saw, no matter what some of the other reviewers said they saw.
I believe strongly in the "spirit world," and know when someone is really a "sensitive," like Dannion Brinkley or Peter Hurkos or Rosemary Altea, a true medium. But this gal, Cathe Curtis with all of her "I love you,"; "Come here, come on! Come on everyone!" nonsense made me just laugh. That woman needs some counseling.
If you want a real ghost story buy the book, "Grave's End: A True Ghost Story," by Elaine Mercado, R.N., Llewellyn Worldwide Publishers, at www.llewellyn.com, a book which is the most amazing ghost story I have ever had the pleasure and wonder to experience in any form. I pray one day someone will make an accurate film of that remarkable book! Or buy the film, "Grave Secrets: The Legacy Of Hilltop Drive," if you can find a copy of the DVD (Try Ebay). It was based on the true story recounted in the book, "The Black Hope Horror: The True Story Of A Haunting," by Ben and Jean Williams and John Bruce Shoemaker, William Morrow and Co., 1991. But whatever you do, unless you collect documentaries about hauntings and just have to have "America's Most Haunted Town," consider purchasing the two books mentioned above, or at least the DVD, "Grave Secrets," rather than spend $24.95 on this 59 minute visit to New Hope, which wouldn't be so bad if it were not for Cathe Curtis and all of her "I love you" touchy feelie ghost banter.
I would rather put some pebbles in my shoes for pennance and walk around in them for weeks on end, or knash my wrists with jagged stones rather than listen to Cathe Curtis talk to another ghost to whom she insists on professing her love. Do you remember Lucia Pamela's recording of "Walking On The Moon"? Well, Cathe Curtis, I'm sure, is her daughter: "Come on, come on, come on! Let's take a walk on the moon!"
One thing I really did like about this movie was the music. Listen to the music and at the end of the film pause it to write down some of the names of the composers of the music used in this film (especially the music used in the segment on Pineapple Hill B&B, I think it was; the music alone is worth the purchase of this rather disappointing documentary, or mockumentary.
To be fair to the neophite viewing this film, I understand how you could be conned into thinking this film is different and perhaps even good, explain sex to a six year old; and to the others, the novelist at the film's beginning, to the historian whom I could have easily listened to throughout the film, and to all of the hotel owners and tour guides, and the others who were obviously serious people, I have to say as long as any of them are telling us about this or that spirit, the film is just fine, but whenever Cathe Curtis appeared I wanted to murder her. I'd like also to murder the narrater at the film's introduction who tries so hard to sound like Rod Serling.
By the way, some spirits are not full of love; some were (probably) and remain truly scary "people" who like in the tv documentary, "A Haunting In Georgia," would definitely hurt you. Not all ghosts are so loving as Ms. Curtis says they are in "America's Most Haunted Town," which if it is (the "most haunted town"), would better be served by getting Elvira to walk us through the locations in New Hope than the very unremarkable and unconvincing sensitive Cathe Curtis. At least Elvira would have been believable.
The last scenes at New Hope Cemetery made me wish terribly that it would begin raining radioactive fallout and that the dead would rise up and eat her. The only thing worse than listening to Cathe Curtis talk to spirits is imagining another four years of George W. Bush. Now that is something to fear!
