Description
Welcome to New Hope Pennsylvania, where even death it would seem is not the final departure for many of the towns residents. Paranormal sightings and stories from townspeople and visitors alike are as numerous as they are unexplainable in this exciting documentary. Witness firsthand images of spirits in various forms exactly as they were revealed to the cameras!

Don't waste your money! August 31, 2008
What can I add that the other reviews haven't? A DVD with an annoying, ridiculous psychic. If I hear her tell a spirit "I love you." one more time, I will be sick. She talks to dust orbs and street lights as though they are "spirits" so I suppose it's a good laugh.
It's too bad--New Hope has so many incredible ghost stories and Cathe Curtis ruined this venture.
Flashes and Dust December 24, 2006

It's hard to add much to the reviews already posted below. This video is disappointing and totally unconvincing. The "orbs" which are meant to be spirits caught on film look suspiciously like something I've seen in several of my own photos, which I've since learned are caused by dust particles caught by the flash of the camera. In fact, I have several photos which have far more impressive orbs than any in this film, and I certainly don't attribute them to spirits.
I learned about this when I took a photograph in a barn and the resulting image came out with dozens and dozens of "orbs." This effect is most pronounced in dusty areas (basements and attics) but could occur in any room with even a small amount of airborne dust - not unusual I would think in these old manors. The end sequence is totally unconvincing with a steady light beam in the distance which looks completely ordinary and caused either by a flashlight or home light in the distance.
Another reviewer mentions the weirdness of the supposed-psychic's entreaties to the spirits, where she continually tells them, "I love you." No wonder there are no convincing photos of spirits in this film - if I were a spirit, I would stay far away from some strange human drifting from room to room whispering, "I love you." This is actually embarrassing and reminds me of the crazy guy in Grizzly Man who keeps telling the resident grizzly bears that he loves them - right up until the moment he's eaten by one. Really a waste of time and money. New Hope looks like a nice historic town to visit; it may well be haunted, but nothing in this video supports that even remotely.
 Disappointing December 9, 2006

This DVD is more of a home-grown documentary than the captivating evidence of paranormal entities I was hoping to see. The people in the DVD are sweet and well-meaning, but that's not what I bought this for. If you're looking for a ghost "sightings," voices or supernatural behavior, you won't find it here. The final scene in which orbs are filmed outdoors is somewhat intiguing, but not enough so to recommend this item.

I'm a firm believer in ghosts, but always remain a skeptic when not experiencing paranormal occurrences myself. Cathe claims to be a sensitive... highly doubt it. Anyone could have put on the performances that she put on. The orbs that were shown on the videos could very well have been flashlights in the forest. At one point, when the camera zoomed in on the orb, the shape of the orb was more visible and wasn't circular as it had formerly appeared to be, it was a perfect square (like those square shaped flashlights). And the fact that Cathe kept approaching every "spirit" like it was a little child was incredibly annoying. She would say, "It's OK, come out. I love you, I love you. No one's going to hurt you." I mean come on, if they were spirits, then they obviously used to be human and don't need to be baby talked like they've never been a part of the real world. All in all, not a convincing documentary and barely even entertaining. The only enjoyable parts were the interviews with people who actually lived in the haunted buildings being investigated. Cathe just seemed like an intruder and, unfortunately, she was in the majority of the video.
