This was simply the case of 2 young girls being very naughty and mischievous. The fact that people are so readily fooled and taken in by this makes me despair. They made the guttural sound with their throats; threw things around. they were quite gifted at trickery. I mean though, hats off to them-sort of thing I would do when I was young. I pretended to be 'possessed' once, aged 15 - and to this day my idiot mates still think I was!
What about when they used their beds as trampolines? Spooky stuff!
OOM POM PAH OOM POM PAH thats how it goes...
Did you all three episodes?
shareAhh... Aren't opinions great?! ;)
shareYou pretended to be possessed?! Hahahaha!!!
I bet your parents were chuffed when you started hurling up pea soup around the room. Lol!
As far as your synopsis goes, I couldn't agree more. In fact while I'm reading it, it reminds me of my post.
Even in the dramatised mini-series, it gave the impression that the girls knew what they were doing.
They got the right people involved, aka paranormal investigators, and they played their games with these people.
Obviously a skeptic would have picked up on that before hand.
That is exactly what I thought when I watched it. It gave me goosebumps big time! But that was the directing. I never believed the story, and as it can't be proven 100% either way, it remains plausible.
It remains completely implausible. I assume you saw her grin at the end?
Yup.
I must have been high when I wrote that, because if you'll notice all of my other posts on this page, they all say that it was a hoax I don't remember saying it was plausible, because a don't believe that for a second.
My thread is titled "who's buying this" and I make my feelings clear on the subject.
Implausible as hell!
I never viewed this as a true story; of course it wasn't. I watched as if it were just another horror movie.
From that point of view, it was OK, not great. The young actress who played "Janet" was quite good, but other than that, eh, nothing special. Pretty standard for that type of movie/TV show. I guess some people want to believe this kind of stuff can be real, but not me. This was fiction, pure and simple.
When you see a movie or TV show that says it is "based on a true story", you have to realize that you are watching fiction. Even the ones truly based on real incidents are jazzed up to make them more interesting for the audience.
No, I wouldn't agree that this was jazzed up. I'm not saying the poltergeist was real, but the events in this were accurate to what was reported, by the family and outside witnesses.
To me, the biggest concern is that we've (collectively) become so Hollywoodised that we have trouble finding stories like this scary or even entertaining without the hyper-drama. If I were in bed and a piece of furniture lurched across the room at me under its own steam, I'd lose my crap.
You might very well think that. I couldn't possibly comment.
