Ghost Stories is the bone-chilling series that takes you to the very places where terror lives, recounting the most intriguing, creepy and terrifying tales of the undead from far and wide. From the haunted beaches of Galveston, Texas where the ghost of a drowned nun still roams to the New Jersey prison still haunted by a former inmate who was hanged over 160 years ago for the vicious stabbing of his girlfriend to a Manhattan restaurant haunted by the ghost of a long deceased girl these morbid tales are not for the faint of heart.

Chillingly great!
Ghost Stories is a 2-disc collection of 16 episodes (includes a bonus episode), spanning over 6 hours. It tours reportedly haunted locations in the United States, and gives in depth historical facts, while making sure it doesn't become boring. I truly couldn't stop watching.A lot of the reviews are bashing the show for having a "cheesy narrator". I personally think the narrator added to the show, with his over-the-top humor and creepy voice. It makes the show more entertaining, and it didn't ruin a second. Do not expect any amazing special effects, just some documentary re-enactments and some theatrics and sound FX mixed in.Each disc contains a decent amount of episodes, with 10 on disc one and 6 on disc two. Most episodes have a runtime of 22 minutes, with a couple lasting 45 minutes. These are the episodes- --------- DISC ONE---------- 1: Boise Theater (Boise, Idaho) 2: Trans- Allegheny Lunatic Asylum (Weston, West Virginia) 3: Axe Murder House ( Villisca, Iowa) 4: Moundsville Penitentiary (Moundsville, West Virginia) 5: Peter Shields Inn ( Cape May, New Jersey) 6: Emma Sands ( Manhattan Bistro, New York City) 7: Fort Mifflin ( Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) 8: U.S.S Hornet ( Almeda, California) 9: Sammie Dean (Jerome, Arizona) 10: El Fumador (The Cuban Club, Ybor City, Florida My personal top 3 from this Disc is- 1- Axe Murder House, 2- Fort Mifflin, 3- Moundsville Penitentiary ----------- DISC TWO--------- 11: J.J Stark ( Moon River Brewing Company- Savannah, Georgia) 12: Prince Suleymam ( New Orleans, Louisiana) 13: Sister Katherine (Hotel Galvez, Galveston Texas) 14: Toni Jo Henry (Calcasieu Court House, Lake Charles, Louisiana) 15: Joel Clough ( Burlington County Prison, Mount Holly New Jersey) 16: Dr. Edwards ( Linda Vista Community Hospital, Los Angeles, California) My personal Top 3 from Disc Two, 1- Dr. Edwards, 2- J.J Stark, 3- Joel Clough Overall, it was a great DVD, I recommend it to anybody wanting hours of entertainment.

Stories pretty frightening but entertaining bad narration
I watch a lot of these ghosts videos and overall enjoying all the ones from Amazon but this one I do not understand why they let the narrator be sarcastic and sound laughing it's just icky and they show way too much over and over of bloody scenes when they should just tell the story but they showed a lot of knives and blood which isn't necessary these are ghost reenactment stories that should go on that merit with a little bit of added drama by the ghost stories are so should be the drama just wish they had a different narrator I can't stand listening to him the stories are pretty cool though

Spooky Good Time For the Whole Family
Like a lot of the viewers who bought this set, I happened to find this series while channel surfing and quickly began DVR-ing it after the first episode (for me it was the Villisca Ax Murders). I like the narrator. His dark sense of humor is the same as mine and he makes each episode fun and fast paced (unlike History Channel's dried up Haunted History series) as well as not making it too scary for kids. My only complaint is that this series wasn't given another season. Oh well. At least we have this set to rewatch over and over again.Also, as a bonus feature we are given Ghostly Lovers which is basically about a group of lonely women who are apparently having sexual encounters with ghosts. No need for toys and battery powered boyfriends here when you have Casper the Hot and Horny Ghost. Interesting side note but a little risqué for the little ones.

Creepy Fun!
I loved this series when it would come on either Friday or Saturday night. I was so glad to discover it on dvd. And of course, Amazon had it. Most reviews blast the narrator, but I love him. He takes nothing from the stories if anything ,to me he adds to them. You get 2 discs ( one has 10 stories and the other has 8. ) But you also get Bonus Features Ghostly Lovers. I'm only sorry that the series lasted only 2 seasons and Travel Channel doesn't always play them. You'll get a little of everything, haunted hotels and houses, forts and bars. Even a haunted ship and penitentiary. Plenty to choose from to get your creep on. So turn off the light, pop these in and enjoy the ghost fest.

2 much hype about orbs
Not so bad. Ive watched this on tv before so mainly wanted to just add it to my collection od paranormal real stories. Also a friend of mine was on the show up where I live, but that was on the new ones that just came out & not on dvd yet. There was a few in the set that I hadnt seen yet. Dont get this show on my tv channels anymore so it was cool to watch since I had nothing else to do. The Haunted I think are the best paranormal true stories tv show to watch also Paranormal Wittness. Anyways this set isnt so bad. Except for the shows where some of the people make a huge deal about orbs when u can clearly see they are dust or bugs. Other than those it pretty good. I gave it 3 stars cuz its not so awsome but a good add to the ol collection. ;)

meh it's ok. I noticed a few incorrect things in some of the stories. I do a lot of research on things like this and new some background information about some of these stories. Just don't take everything they say as truth. Look at it in a more welll..."This is what they witnessed." and "These are the stories they have heard." Just like anything with witnesses you have to understand it from there perspective and that perspective can be remembered in whole different light once they start questioning themselves.

Entertaining
Got this for a road trip and it was pretty entertaining for my son and I. The stories are great and keeps you interested. We love the paranormal and we were not disappointed.

I loved these ghost stories
I loved these ghost stories! I've bought so many ghost, hauntings & paranormal dvds, only to be disappointed by most, but these stories are exactly what I like, people telling of the histories of the buildings and the people who lived & died there and the sightings they have experienced. I wish there were a lot more stories like this from Travel Channel available to buy on dvd! Hint, hint, Amazon.

Almost five star but for the narration.
Great stories but the addition of narration with cheesy humor takes it down one star. Also note: box states 384 minutes.
