I do find moments of this show interesting and enjoyable,there seems to some scripting.Faking paranormal sticks out like a sore thumb and there are hints of it here.

I frown upon the all mighty psychic medium who claims to have powers to cast away curses and demons,The whole idea that some ghost "never walked the earth in human form" its a hard pill to swallow,They cant prove that or even disprove it

To me a demon is like an angry grizzly bear,a simple growl or saying demon doesn't cut it with me ,Anybody can do that.

Nick Groff built his reputation on facts and evidence here there more speculation then investigation.

Whenever paranormal investigators cannot explain something they turn to folklore to fill in the gaps rather then say I cant explain it...

There's just too much focus on the cast overreacting to something then actually showing us what their experiencing ..too much presentation rather then investigating

As a descendent of Thomas Shepherd I plan to watch this show closely. There is a strong possibility some of these ghosts may be related to me.

This has so much potential and it's such a shame to watch Nick one of my favourite ghost hunters act and staging a lot of what's going on . Some staging is allowed but not everything . But still 7 stars worth the watch and thanks nick keep up the good work .

I'm an avid fan of paranromal investigation shows which have become a bit stale on the premise. This show offers a completely new and original premise that is actually rather fascinating. As some other reviewers said Season 1 has parts that may seem a bit stiff and rehearsed sounding but after all, there are some reinactments and storytelling by the people who reportedly experienced the activity, not professional actors. The premise of the show is that several haunting are happening in a quant and picturesque West Virginia town rife with history. They do a good job of tying in history and research and don't rely on the cliched "what was that?! " and "oh my god!" exclamations.

Season 2 is even better! The premise in this season is that the paranormal activity has spread to nearby towns. It pulls you along tying the paranormal activity together into a pretty believable story. This is a well organized storyline that is both entertaining, intriguing and chilling. If this were the storyline of a horror movie, it would be a hit. This is one of the most original paranormal investigator shows out there.

Seriously this is the worse paranormal show I've ever seen. I've watched wall to wall paranormal shows for about 3 months and this one isn't the slightest bit scary, how on earth did it get renewed.

The only highlight was the psychic sensitive investigator who looks like a mix of someone who has just smelt something bad or Dr Steve, a face of permanent confusion.

All the cliche "what was that?", "Is that you?" & "Are you with us now?"

Absolute fake garbage.

I used to love watching ghost of shepherds town and tell Laurie Johnson left. She was the most important investigator of the series. Now the series has become quite bland

So much criticism about it being "fake". You really think the other like genre of shows are "real"? Its definitely more entertaining than Ghost Adventures.

I have NO problem admitting I'm a fan of Nick Groff however I am NOT a fan of Ghosts Of Shepherdstown. at all! I tried to like this show, even watching some episodes several times but it didn't help. It doesn't take a medical degree to know that if something isn't breathing & doesn't have a heartbeat feel free to stick a fork in it, it's DONE! Unfortunately this show never had a beating heart, therefore it never connects with paranormal TV fans. Many paranormal need to reenact scenes but, unless I missed it, this show doesn't make any mention of reenactments. If a good number of the scenes aren't reenacted by a traveling theater group from Possum Grape Arkansas & we're supposed to believe they're all real.....ummm, NO! Thankfully for fans of Nick Groff he has another TV project that IS worth your time each week. Add to the cast former investigator on Paranormal State, Katrina Weidman, and you're sure to be ENTERTAINED by Nick & Katrina on Paranormal Lockdown. If you're a glutton for punishment feel free to tune in to Ghosts of Shepherdstown but you can't say you weren't warned! BTW - I recently read an article but have NOT been able to verify, that Ghosts of Shepherdstown is coming back for a season 2, oh....that's ... yeah, that's ......

Since watching ghost adventures from the beginning Nick Groff was my favourite as he has genuine empathy for people passed or present and I think and have always felt from day one that he is what he seems to be which is an honest and down to earth guy, no fakeness which is extremely rare ( especially in the land of T.V where there is alot of ego ) A good family man and a really good investigator and especially love watching him and katrina in paranormal lockdown as there is no frills or bullcrap when they investigate but omgoshhh... I reallyyyyyy don't enjoy watching the ghosts of shepherds town as it just feels soooooo scripted 😐

Where do I start? This show is terrible. I love paranormal shows, but this show makes me roll my eyes so often. Elizabeth and her constant "not feeling good" and confused look on her face..ugh! I wasn't surprised when I looked her up that she was an actress.

I love Nick and his show with Katrina. Paranormal Lockdown is so much better than this. It's too scripted and the overacting is just not my style for paranormal shows.

Ok, it's not the worst thing I've ever watched, but it's really high on the list.

It's over-scripted, over-acted and borderline unwatchable. The storyline makes absolutely no sense, the "investigations" are a joke, and the miraculous "finds" that link each episode to the series plot are so clearly planted it's laughable.

I love paranormal shows, they're one of my favourite things, but this is pathetic.

This girl on this show is such a fake physic. Look her up. She swings a pendulum like we did a nail on a string to see if baby is a boy or girl and then calls it how she chooses. She has no history of being a physic she is a actress and a bad one at that. She must be somebody's girlfriend to get these gigs. But same guy seems to be involved in the same projects as her.

I had a lot more respect for Nick Groff as a paranormal investigator before I saw this show. Very disappointed! So fake and scripted!

Good luck on your future endeavors Nick! 👎🏼

Anything here that might actully be true is overshadowed by the fact that it's so scripted. It's painful. I'm embarrassed for them. Yikes. Don't waste your time on this show, there's better out there.

I have seen some shows that are as fake as they come and where the ignorance burns, but none as much as this. Spirit board during an investigation at a time when there's a "Spike in activity"? Sure folks, open a portal...I triple-dog-dare you. Start something you can't finish.

Upside down crosses as a sign of witchcraft (utter crap - witches do not use crosses. Go call the Church of Satan to get more info about upside down crosses). As a witch, I am disgusted. Wrong belief system, folks.

They may as well have had the old lady in squeaky shoes say, "This house is clear..." As entertainment, this was frustrating and downright ridiculous.

I'm not saying all shows like this should NOT be silly and funny because most are, let's face it, however, they should NOT throw people into more dangerous situations. Put the freaking ouija away - as a tool, it can work too well - and I've yet to see anyone who can handle what they call up. This is as bad as trying to piss off a spirit to spike activity. Sure, you may see/hear something, but that can attach to you and when the fun runs out...well...who are you going to call?
