WAIT THE CHURCH PAID FOR "A HAUNTING"? I USED TO BITCH SO MUCH ABOUT THAT SHOW BEING SATANIC PANIC PROPAGANDA (and then kept watching it because it was the spookiest thing I had access to at the time).
YES LITERALLY!!!!
In the early seasons of the show, when it was just exclusively on Discovery, you could see a little blurb in the credits that indicated some funding for the show had come from the Catholic Church. I just checked and it looks like that was removed when the show shifted over to the Travel Channel / Destination America. (It's not in the videos posted on their YouTube channel and there's no mention on their media pages. Also any mention of "A Haunting" is pretty much taken up by the forthcoming Agatha Christie film, "A Haunting in Venice," so I couldn't find any articles related to prior funding.)
Whether the Church still provides any funding for the show is unknown, but it looks like it's still in production through New Dominion Pictures and still airs in syndication on Discovery Networks channels.
And yes, it is FULL of Warrenisms and Satanic Panic propaganda. And it's because of "A Haunting" and shows like it that this misinformation became gospel to an entire generation of witches and spiritualists and paranormal seekers, and continues to be viewed as such to this day, to the point that even though we know the VERY mundane and non-satanic origins of things like Ouija boards and poppets, these things are automatically viewed as open doors for demons by most people you'd ask on the street or social media.
If you ever want a fun bingo night or drinking game, watch a few episodes and spot all the Warren Bullshit, Satanic Panic talking points, and complete ignorance of things like mental health problems and families that don't know how to communicate. If you're feeling brave, pick an episode that deals with witches, magic, or curses. Also, MST3k that shit with friends or provide color commentary, it's a riot.

I finished Boo Bitch, and Erika speech about Gia was super sad and cute, I wish the audience reacted to it better, because Erika was crying on stage and they didn't really seem all that sad her friend was dead.
I mean I know Erika has been a lot and they didn't know Gia, but if someone told me their friend died and they did a whole speech about how great of a friend they were, I'd be tears for them. Making Gia prom Queen was really sweet. 👌
I can't help but think we missed out on them putting Gia body to rest, or being there when Gia mom finds out. Someone said Gia needed her own episode and they weren't wrong. Feels like a missed opportunity tbh.

Are you interested in ghost shows?? Stuff like Ghost Adventures, Expedition X, or Ghost Files on YouTube?
Used to be moreso than I am now. But never hugely got into it. I'll watch any recommended episodes, though.

I have a bad habit of stumbling upon shows that have already been cancelled but I don't ever look up ahead of time if said show is cancelled before starting it. That being said, I started School Spirits on a whim and got v nervous once I started to get into it that it would be another show that I'd never see the ending to only to find out it does have a second season coming (eventually) !!!
I highly recommend this show especially if you like teen dramas, paranormal shows, or mysteries. The show follows Maddie who is a recently deceased person who doesn't remember what happened to her after her death. She spends the series using the resources she has (given she's stuck in the school as a ghost) to try to piece together what happened to hopefully solve her own murder and maybe even pass on to the other side. All in all the characters are great and it's a fun show that would take like a weekend to catch up on.
Heads up though it is rated MA and does involve a lot of death talk/some crime scene imagery if that's not something you're up for rn

I feel like on ghost shows when they go into a house like "this spirit is said to have moved a chair once," and they do the investigation and are like "hey, ghost, why don't you move the chair for us?" The ghost is just like "omg the chair again? You touch a chair one time in your entire unlife and then nobody shuts up about it."

Every Nico Di Angelo fan focusing more on the background of the episode than the actual plot

Y'know what I wanna see? A ghost show where they go to places without being told the story of the place. They just go there, gather evidence, and learn the story after to compare. Bonus points if that sprinkle in places that have no previous legacy of hauntings.
