YouTube - Ghost Stalkers



After Nick Groff left Ghost Adventures, he launched Paranormal Lockdown and also served as an executive producer for another paranormal television series, Ghost Stalkers. This series only lasted for one season (end of 2914) and has six episodes, each devoted to one (supposedly) haunted location. Each episode lasts about 45 minutes.

Ghost Stalkers features two hosts, actor Chad Lindberg and author John E. L. Tenney. Both have a lot in common: not only do they believe in the paranormal, but they both also experienced an NDE (Near Death Experience). Because of this, they believe that haunted locations contain a portal (to hell), where the dead can cross over from one world to another. And it's their mission to find this portal in the locations they investigate in each of the six episodes. For this, they use a device, called a wormhole detector, built to discover gateways that connect different realities with each other.

The two men have different personalities though and this is exactly what makes this series entertaining to watch! John is calm and composed, whereas Chad is of a nervous disposition and is easily startled. This is especially clear when they each spend one night in a haunted location: John stays as calm as a cucumber, whereas Chad screams like a little girl with the smallest paranormal occurrence. The most frightening episode is without any doubt the one that takes place in Holmesburg Prison where quite surprisingly John - and not Chad - ends up with a severe panic attack.

To be honest, I don't believe in this wormhole detector or these portals to hell. Moreover, it remains a mystery throughout the six episodes of how the detector actually works! It all seems like an excuse to do some ghost hunting in spooky locations. And again, it is really entertaining and fun to see how both men react so differently when they each investigate a location during one night. In that light, this series doesn't differ that much from Ghost Adventures.

Maybe this is the reason why Ghost Stalkers lasted only one season; maybe viewers saw it as a clone of Ghost Adventures, which until now is still the most popular paranormal television series in America. I, on the other hand, was actually disappointed that Ghost Stalkers ended after only one season. I really liked the two hosts - who treat each other with a lot of respect, by the way - and they did investigate lesser-known haunted locations.

Right now it is damn hard to find complete episodes of Ghost Stalkers on YouTube. There is however always a coming and going of paranormal television series and one day, you might find the 6 episodes again on YouTube. There are lots of interesting fragments, however, usually the best bits of each episode.


As you might have seen, I have been absent for one month due to illness. During that time I discovered a lot of interesting stuff on YouTube - such as (short) horror movies, paranormal series and the like - which I will be sharing with you very soon!

2 Headed Shark Attack (2012)/3 Headed Shark Attack (2015)

About 2 weeks ago, I had never heard about these 2 movies. But when I did research about Shark Night , one of the movies that Google recommended was 3 Headed Shark Attack. Since I had never heard about this movie, I did some research. According to Wikipedia, this is the sequel - as you might have guessed - of 2 Headed Shar Attack. And there are by the way more movies in this series: 5 Headed Shark Attack and 6 Headed Shark Attack. In case you wonder what happened to the one with 4 heads, there is already a movie called Four - Headed Shark - apparently, this one doesn't attack! Anyway, probably to avoid confusion, there is no movie called 4 Headed Shark Attack... The production company behind all these movies is called The Asylum. Maybe the name rings a bell, especially if you are into B - movies or have spent some time on Netflix lately. They are actually the ones responsible for the Sharknado movies, which by now have reached cult status amongst horror fans. The Asylum produ

Fresa Y Chocolate (1993)

It's the end of August and slowly but surely, Oscar season is heating up. Right now, a lot of countries are selecting the movie that will represent them for the Oscar of foreign language film. 16 countries - and counting - have done this so far. Flashback to 1993, when Cuba chose its most successful movie ever... In an ice salon, somewhere in Cuba, two men meet. One is David, a student in political science, in favour of the Cuban revolution, who has just been dumped. The other is a flamboyant gay photographer, Diego, who opposes the revolution and is clearly smitten with the student. From the beginning, it is clear that these two men are each others' opposites and not just on a political level. The movie follows the budding of the unlikely close friendship between the two men through a series of conversations. Diego can not help but fall with the gorgeous student and David gradually comes to a better understanding of Diego's political choice. Enter Diego's lovel

Oscars 2020 - Update 2

November has finally come and the Oscar fever is rising! Soon the first nominations and awards will be announced and you will be able to follow it all here. But let's have a look at some of the recent news. I will also give you my opinion of some movies that I have seen in the meantime. A couple of weeks ago the Academy announced its longlist of countries submitting their movie for the International Feature Film Oscar. The list was 93 titles long, which was a record. Unfortunately, the Academy had to disqualify one movie; the Nigerian film contained English dialogue, which is a big nono. Really too bad, since it was the first time that Nigeria participated. Ford vs. Ferrari has been released in the meantime and the reviews are mainly (very) positive. Quite extraordinary is the fact that the two main actors - Matt Damon and Christian Bale - will be competing against each other in the Best Actor category. What happens when you have 2 very strong actors in one movie, is that u
