Product Description
As Seen On The Discovery Channel
Based on true events, A Haunting in Georgia is the chilling story of four-year-old Heidi and her imaginary friends Mr. Gordy and Con. As Heidi reveals mysterious details about the two, her parents become concerned...could her playmates be more than make-believe? When the rest of the family begins experiencing terrifying phenomena--waking with deep gashes on their bodies--it seems there's little they can do to stop the escalating nightmare.

 Creepy and unforgettable...Heidi Wyrick inspires December 21, 2008
I recommend buying The Veil: Heidi Wyrick's Story The Veil to find out all the details this haunting documentary doesn't reveal (because of time constraints and storytelling).
As it is, this documentary can stand on its own. I caught this on the Discovery Channel by accident and was stunned to realize this was the same family from "Mr. Gordy's Ghost" in Unsolved Mysteries: Ghosts Unsolved Mysteries.
I have nothing but respect for the Wyrick family and especially Heidi, who innocently befriended a man long dead. Their faith and fortitude are sorely tested by the bizarre occurrences and by the spirits---some good, some neutral, and some downright evil--that are drawn to Heidi.
The staging, as with the rest of this series, is definitely Hollywood and calculated for effect, but it works, it makes you keep watching. The narrators achieve the right somber tone. The actor playing "Mr. Gordy" as well as the one playing "Con" tug at your heart, they are so believable.
And the actor playing the menacing "dark figure" (shadow person) that terrorized Heidi deserves his/her kudos for being convincingly creepy. In every scene with the dark figure, I had to cover my eyes for a moment (there's a moment in the DVD when Heidi is following the ghost of a little girl, and the dark figure appears casually in one room Heidi passes in a blink-and-miss-it moment).
But it is Heidi that shines in this documentary with her vulnerability and her strength. It was also nice to see Dr. William Roll of "Unsolved Mysteries" fame.
Just like on Discovery channel December 14, 2008
It's exactly like the special on Discovery channel.
If you like the series it's a must have.
 Pretty Good November 29, 2008
This DVD is pretty good. In this episode, a young family moves into a new house and their three-year-old encounters an "imaginary friend" that they later learn is the ghost of a man that died before the girl's birth. Years later, the family learns that both their daughters are actually psychic, an ability they inherited from their mother's side of the family. It's pretty good. The scariest part, though, are the couple's parenting skills. At one point, the father arms himself and jumps in his truck to go driving around looking for an old man that wanted to play with his daughter. I'm just curious to know how he would have found the right old man, and what exactly he would have done if he had encountered an elderly man within the vicinity of his house.
A little slow, but good. October 24, 2008

This segment of A Haunting was a little slow, but really good. I enjoy having it in my collection. If you like the series, you will like this one.
Almost like a good horror movie! This is my favorite from Discovery Channel August 15, 2008

I love this one! I am so excited it is coming to dvd, because I keep wearing out my home video tapes, by watching it so much! We used to live in Augusta, and I miss it so bad! I love this because the characters are really like people I remember in Ga., and I lived in a house VERY similar to theirs, minus the haunting of course. In fact, I feel homesick everytime I watch this one!(I watch this one all the time, because I don't like where we live now.) There is one scene where the (camera) flies into Ga, and they see the Savannah River, (if you used to fly (home) there it will make you homesick too!) It reminds me so much of Ga.! The story line is excellent, and it's not "cheesy" and boring like some of the episodes in the series, "A Haunting" from Discovery Channel. It is about a family who moves into a house in Ga. and not only is the house haunted the three year old daughter has a friend no one can see! This one is spooky! If you want a good ghost story, order this one! You won't be dissapointed!
