“Changes to "Dead Files"”

Rebecca E.
9/18/23

Sorry to see Amy go but Cindy is an excellent replacement. I hope they will revisit some of the cases from previous "Dead Files" shows. Often when watching reruns I wonder what ever happened to these people? One in particular was a girl that a "shadow man" tried to pull through her bedroom wall badly bruising her. And there were some where Amy believed they were being abducted by aliens, and many other bizarre cases.

I'm watching Ghost Town Terror on 10/12/23. I won't be watching it for much longer. The special effects in the background are exceedingly distracting. They are so loud at times that the character's conversations cannot be heard. I am just flabbergasted at how the programmers think this helps make the show more interesting. It's so bad that it is insulting to viewers. I will be turning the program off as soon as I finish writing this review. Wake up programmers. Your audiences don't want to hear all the noise in the background. It ruins the shows. No wonder the reviews for Travel Channel are so bad.

Great Programming. Horrible Presentation.

I'm watching UFOs The Lost Evidence. Incredibly interesting; however, the background effects are so loud it's difficult to hear or concentrate on it. Disturbing at best.

For the past decade or so, the travel channel has been showing nothing but paranormal and extraterrestrial crap. It would be nice that they showed Rick Steve's episodes or actual shows about traveling but that sadly doesn't happen.

I taped what are your segments on flight 40 one the crash in the Everglades in 1972. I have from Miami I was a child back then but I remembered if it was yesterday. But you people did not betray what actually happened on that flight. I had nothing to do with anything that is with the supernatural nothing why you did not portray it that way I will never understand but you need to be honest what you tell people on the shelves. It was pilot error and everybody knows it so why are you doing this to these people I've heard the stories for years and years decades about what happened is a flight but would you portrayed was so inaccurate. It is wrong to do this on the 50th anniversary of that plane crash you might want to update your episode

Why is it mostly paranormal caught on camera and the museum? Where's all the other shows. I'm not watching nearly as much anymore. So disappointed. Bring back the Bigfoot shows, terror in the woods, etc.

Why do you continually list your shows as current? You rebroadcast shows dated 2020-2021 when 10 years old. Just because You purchased the show in 2021 does not mean the show is. Are you so desperate for viewers that tricking them in to believing these are new shows. Several of your shows deliberately dated this way. Try producing your own current shows and stop misleading the public.

These overweight back woods hill billy idiots that never went beyond elementary school (if that) are a complete JOKE! If anybody has any time on their hands to watch something like this seriously needs to get out more often!

Travel channel involves itself in a subject that their guest do not know about what they are talking about.
This is dangerous whether you believe or not. These supernatural entities are very real & ALWAYS very evil. No such thing as ghosts. Human spirits just do not roam the earth.
I always know when someone knows absolutely nothing about what they are talking about when they use the word "paranormal". Dead giveaway that they are completely clueless & their antidotes on dealing with these things are not only bogus but are also very dangerous. Please just stop. Humans are very dumb.

I just watched a couple of episodes of Ghost Loop. Really? This is as scripted and stupid as Mountain Monstors. WTH Travel Channel?
You used to be one of my favorite channels.Im sure that you guys dont read your reviews because of you did you wouldn't keep putting on these stupid shows.It just keeps getting worse.
Who decides what shows goes on Travel Channel? I dont know if your catering to a bunch of stupid hillbillies but no thank-you.
I am done with Travel Channel.

Tip for consumers:
Dont watch it!!

I'll tell you what, 4 solid days of ghost adventures is just pure punishment. This show is so fake. Are they so hard up for programming that they scrape the bottom of the barrel like ghost adventures fakery. Some of their shows like A Haunting or My haunted House actually make the hair on my arms stand up. My wife likes Dead Files although I am not a real fan, The Osborne's Want to believe is just plain stupid. I don't think the the few good shows save the channel. Expedition Bigfoot is very interesting but it is one big tease. Terror in the woods is good and a little scary. Paranormal camera is good the first time but by the seventh time it is repeated I get very bored. They have the bad habit of repeating shows over and over again. I really think the cable companies should drop it. I feel I get no ROI from this show on my very expensive cable bill.

All the fun ghost shows I've paid for and watched for years are now gone! Why is Discovery plus allowed to take all the new episodes that millions of us have been paying for. Barely watch your channel anymore. Everyone just wants to charge more money in this extremely expensive economy. I will NOT pay them more money! Thanks for nothing.

While watching Kindred Spirits, Devil in Salem, both the original and return visit, I couldn't help but notice how Dana Newkirk "selected" the "Devil" card so many times. But, just watch how she scans the deck carefully, before selecting the card - she's looking for the scuffed-up lower edge, clearly visible! She calls herself a practicing witch, but anyone familiar with Tarot, knows you shouldn't have to make such an issue of finding a card with your eyes, but rather than with touch. She makes so many mistakes, I can't help but think she's a fraud.

You are the most racist channel on television you did a piece on John Hanson you portrayed him as a white guy when the world now know that John Hanson was a proud African American Moore that did something that Caucasian could not do organize and run a country..

This channel used to be original and my favorite to watch. The last few years, they are losing me. Each day is filled with endless hours of the exact same show. If it's not Mysteries at the Museum, it's Paranormal Caught on Camera, Ghost Adventures or some other series I've already seen too many times. Gone are the really good paranormal shows. We're stuck with the silly Osbornes, the endless prattle of Zak Bagans, or hours of Expedition Unknown. The Travel Channel is BORING!
Bring back Paranormal Lockdown, Ghost Brothers, anything but Paranormal Caught on Camera and Ghost Adventures. Bring back the Holzer Files ANYBODY BUT ZAK!

Why do you show the same "OLD" reruns of Ghost Adventures after the Ghost Adventures crew abandoned their original, loyal, and faithful audiences. And then travel channel will run an old show and then put "new" next to it. Discovery+ has stolen most of the Ghost hunting show's and left travel channel"paying" customers with the leftovers. FYI this sux's.

I just recorded an episode of "These woods are haunted" on the Travel Channel. It was advertised as "new", but was a rerun. 3rd time this has happened. False advertising and annoying as hell. Not to mention you have to basically hold the remote in your hand to fast forward through the asinine amount of commercials for "discoveryplus". Done watching this crap channel.

Here we live in a wonderfully diverse world with hundreds of countries and cultures each with unique customs and traditions, thousands of wonders both natural and man-made, and an impossible myriad of 7.5 billion individual perspectives and counting... and the best the "Travel" Channel can offer us is a bunch of pseudoscientific nonsense about ghosts and monsters. What an amazing opportunity for diverse, eye-opening programming sure to inspire and connect us all... and they throw it away. This channel is pathetic, shameful, and unbelievably stupid.

I really enjoy watching the ghost stories on your show. But what I don't understand is why are most of the actors former fbi agents and wanna be investigators. They have no place in this business. They didn't attend film courses and their just in it to make money and their phoney and fake about them selves. Seems like everybody wants to be a paranormal investigator with no experience. Bring back NICK GROFF what's the problem with you guys

This channel is beyond stupid all that pseudo paranormal stuff and nonsense. I deeply mourn the old Travel Channel and its educational interesting enlightening and intelligent content. Whoever took over the Travel Channel should change the name because the name itself is "fake advertising" a non existent content. Something like "Silly Morbid Channel" or "Just a Fright Channel" would be far more appropriate.

It's absolutely unbelievable you show the vomit tv osbournes. Talk about GARBAGE TV. Ozzie dropped too many tabs of ACID. He's a COMPLETE BUFFOON! And his worthless wife is no better. I'd rather watch PAINT DRY! 86 the losers ASAP!

I'm giving up on your reruns and especially Jack Osborne and his family. Too much supernatural and no travel. This used to be my favorite channel. I'm done.
