Fake ghost hunter channel
December 18, 2019

It's too bad that a quality network resorts to using phonies with disreputable equipment to entertain us. I watched one show and decided to look up one cast member. Funny how the article on him proved him to be a con and charleton. Why not get back to TRAVEL. Josh Gates is cool, zak bagans isn't.

Travel?
December 10, 2019

I used the travel channel quite often, but now everything is paranormal all the time. Paranormal shows are ok during Halloween or maybe even once a day... but this channel broadcasts paranormal programs all day long. There's nothing that relates paranormal to traveling... except maybe haunted houses or buildings in a particular state. They may as well rename it to the paranormal network... I no longer watch it!

I refuse to watch the travel channel for the paranormal venue has nothing to do with travel in my opinion. I can understand around Halloween. This channel has lost a great audience throughout the great country of the USA

I like travel, travel logs and travel food. The paranormal crap holds no interest for me. It is no longer a travel channel.

I used to love watching Travel Channel shows. Now, it's only paranormal, treasure hunts, etc. A good ghost hunting show is interesting; Zak Bagans DOES NOT give viewers such a show. I no longer watch the Travel Channel. When there are excellent programs elsewhere, the Travel Channel is a waste of my time.

Travel?
November 18, 2019

What have ghost and paranormal activity got to do with travel. This use to be my favorite channel. I loved the adventure of seeing and learning about new places. Bring back Samantha Brown and get back to traveling please.

Rename the channel
November 14, 2019

Sucks now. Never anything travel related. Thankfully, YouTube is awesome. Just plug in anywhere in the world and it does the job travel channel used to. Change the name to weirdo ghost crap!

They are not pioneers. They hardly ever use any scientific equipment and they are constantly saying"did you hear that?" Just like the original show. Sooooo boring.

Trump Supporter
November 11, 2019

I love all the shows as a Trump Supporter its all true. I believe everything even that monsters are real. I am so glad we do not live in a democracy and we live in a republic so my vote here in Ohio means more than all the votes in CA. Go electoral college. Glad I decide who becomes president not a NY or CA person. I decide who becomes president and i believe in ghosts.

Use to be one of my go to channels, but all this paranormal programming has taken the fun out of watching. Please go back to travel or rename your channel to the ghost channel.

Reruns as new shows
November 4, 2019

I used to love Dead Files, but now, all the "new shoes" are reruns. Same for Portals from He'll. So what the he'll is going on, Travel Channel?

Mountain Monsters
November 3, 2019

One can only pray that the mountain monsters these hicks are "hunting" (always in the same location BTW) will eat them one by one till the show can no longer sustain itself. Starting with that morbidly obese disgusting poor excuse of a man. Put your squirrel guns away hillbilly bobs and cut your losses. There ain't no proof of your imaginary Monsters. You're too full of White lighting to distinguish reality. So sleep it off and get yourselves real jobs. I'm Out!

I don't mind a good ghost show once in a while but this channel no longer deserves my attention. Either go back to TRAVEL programming or rename the channel to "The Paranomal Channel" or "Ghost Network". You have lost a viewer with this new format.

Disappointing!
November 1, 2019

Mountain Monsters... ridiculous. I know exactly what's not going to happen before it doesnt. Poor acting. Absurd. The only people that must be watching are those that believe everything they hear on the nightly news. I do believe in paranormal experiences but any school age child should be able to see through this farce of a tv series. Travel channel used to be my favorite but I only watch 2 shows on there now. If this is the type of show that sells... me and a group of monkeys have a pilot for you!

Do Not Watch This Show! Waste of Time.
1. The show is full of unnecessary fillers. Oh please tell us what "EVP" means, for the nth time. Yes, I enjoy the rewind when the show returns from the commercial break, because I don't remember what I just watched before the break. (SARCASM). And last, 25% of the show is setup, 20% is rewind and explaining the obvious, 20% is THE REVEAL, and the rest is "Did you hear that"???
2. The lame so called scary music score in the background is completely annoying. End the special effects and spooooky music. At least try to make it seem like you want your audience to participate and not just watching for entertainment. Because it is not entertaining, for anyone. It appears to be designed for children, so change your time slot to 6PM and leave the late night time for adult shows.
3. Drop the superiority attitude, you are lucky to have a show like this being televised, and it won't last considering my points. Listen to your audience.

Waste of time
October 12, 2019

I had to changed channel when I was watching holzer files... I don't think that woman medium is real medium. She seems she doesn't know at all or she just so bad of acting. I hate watching paranormal if this group are on.

Less is better. You have ruined the paranormal shows with integrity by adding idiot shows. Such as... Ghost Adventures, Ghost Brothers and the absolute worst is Mountain Monsters.
Please ask your programming people to get their head out of their rear and put on shows with a little integrity. You have done it in the past and we are certain you can accomplish it again.
