Ghost Stories Vol. 1 - 648

Amazon.com "Most often ghost stories are frightening, but even more frightening when the story is true." Hmm, I suppose that's true. Thus begins one of most interesting segments on this first volume of a three-volume set. Hosted by Patrick Macnee (The Avengers), it covers numerous ghostly sightings, including the Tower of London and the Orantia mansion, using many matter-of-fact interviews with eyewitnesses. But it runs pretty low on intellectual curiosity. One of the few segments that tries for the appearance of serious investigation is simply wrong-headed. The segment concerns the site of a railroad accident where a school bus stalled on the tracks. All the children inside were killed, and now the site is haunted by the ghosts of these children, who push stalled cars uphill over the tracks and to safety, leaving their hand prints on the backs of the cars. Our reporter tries to document this phenomenon by setting her car in neutral before the tracks and powdering the back of the car to capture the prints. You see the car move, but there's no proof in that. Everything captured on film about this "experiment" could have been faked very easily. It insults the audience to have such hokum passed off as serious investigation. Just the facts, please. A note on the quality of this disc is in order. If you recall the quality of early streaming video on the Web, you know what to expect here. You might expect low-res images on the Web because of the bandwidth problem, but there's no excuse for that on DVD. And no excuse for the poor quality of the sound, either. --Jim Gay
