The Ghosts of Crowley Hall (2008)

Summary: In early 2007, a small team of paranormal investigators led by Arron Kasady, entered the building to conduct some preliminary tests. Photographs were taken, that produced images of strange orbs in certain rooms, particularly the old children’s nursery. Erratic temperature readings were recorded throughout the hall, and the team had the feeling of being constantly watched. A ghost team that includes a parapsychologist, spiritual medium and journalist, together with a film crew, spent a night at the hall. Throughout the night, various experiments designed to provoke paranormal activity took place. The centrepiece of the night was a séance, conducted by Arron himself. However, not everything went as planned. The investigation was abandoned, with the investigation team and film crew returning a few months later to continue what they had started. The whole event was filmed and photographed for the documentary entitled 'The Ghosts of Crowley Hall.'           Overall: I liked the documentary feel to the movie. We had some good ideas and very nice camera work which made me buy into the while docu-drama that we got. I felt though that the film was just too slow…featuring periods with just not enough action. Sure ghosts won’t magically appear because you want them too, but there just was some dead time during periods, I just wanted for them to get on with it. When the action was there, it was some nice stuff. Some nice apprehension and some decent scares.           Comparison: Blair Witch meets House on Haunted Hill
