Has anyone confirmed even a single story?

Pretty sure the Sleepwalkers one is completely fake. The hospital they used in the episode is that Linda Vista hospital in LA area (they've shown it on several other ghost hunter shows where they go to investigate it). I live in Northern California and I had never heard of anything about an abandoned hospital in Sacramento area or people committing suicide there. I googled it and nothing. Completely fabricated. I guess they want to set themselves apart from the other ghost shows by just fabricating stories to make them sound better than the ones on A Haunting or Dead Files.

I was wondering the same thing after watching the most recent episode. Waking up in an abandoned hospital after having the same sleepwalk-dreams as your dead roommate sounds like a creepy pasta.

I also did a google search on the suicide and couldn't find squat. They never even named the hospital. The show is conveniently ambiguous vs. something like A Haunting (ie, Summerwind was a real place). I'm not really surprised by the fakeness though, and it doesn't bother me as much as some of the people here...but I figure they could have used a more accurate name than "My Haunted House" for a show with decidedly fake experiences.

I tried looking up that hospital in Sacramento and found NOTHING. You'd think there would be something about a suicide in the news online somewhere. I think the whole show is fake and I'm sad about it because I liked it. There's something about this show being all made up because the stories are too perfect in a sense. It's more like campfire stories than real stuff.

First off I think this show shoots in California! So it would make sense for them to use that hospital if it's completely convenient. It probably fit In to the production costs or whatever. They also said they changed some names and locations and if you haven't noticed the people who are telling the stories are actors. I have no idea if the sleepwalkers episode is accrurafe because the girl was altogether stupid but some other episodes like the one where the girl kept witnessing her moms suicide and the stepmom who manifested the poltergeist- those are real- you can see the real people on paranormal witness for those episodes.

Heath Ledger Come Back,
This isn't funny, at all.

I wonder the same thing myself. I just watched one on a killer named Eric Mandel I did a search and could not find anything on him.

I googled the one about under the porch, about the culdesac killer. Nothing. It's all fictional but fun to watch

I think they're very well done in terms of low-budget horror, but I don't believe they are real stories. I think the show is basically a fictional horror anthology series in the format of a reality show.

As far as why people don't leave, there are generally pretty good reasons why they don't, along the usual lines with haunted house stories. They can't afford to move, or sell the house, or they have an emotional connection to the house. Sometimes, they are determined to clean up the problem and not leave it to someone else. Sometimes, they are protecting someone else. Sometimes, they are trapped in the situation and events are moving very quickly. Sometimes, they are being gaslighted, either by the ghost or living people. Sometimes, the escalation is so subtle, or sporadic, that they just don't see it until it gets very bad.

I think one of the most disturbing along those lines is the one about the guy on the job in rural Texas where he's having night terrors. Nobody believes him and his bosses make him feel stupid for even mentioning it. He's out there in the middle of nowhere, working weird shifts. He would both have to move *and* ditch this well-paying job to escape a situation even he isn't sure is real. He feels slightly ridiculous asking for another room and that's what actually saves his life--listening to the gut instinct even he thinks is just silly nerves. The way he's trapped in what turns out to be a horrendously dangerous situation is so creepy because it's so plausible.
