“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.

Top Critical Review

“Loud background music”

Eddie C.
11/7/24

All the programs on the travel channel, such as Mysteries At The Museum, have background music so LOUD that it drowns out the speaker. Get ready for a migraine after watching one program!

Can you be a little more biased? I love the shows on here but All I see is Biden ads. Can you support both parties please. Maybe do less political and more shows. Say no to Joe... Trump 2020

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!

Who on earth is watching these IDIOTIC, IMBECILIC, MORONIC ghost shows, vampire shows and wondering spirits? Are there really that many stupid people in this world to carter to by the "Travel" Channel? How about catering to the real travel audience like your namesake is?
I wonder if the Executives of this company read the reviews... or they're too busy looking at their pay checks...

When the Ghost Hunter Show first came on television it did meet a need... to bring paranormal experiences in to everyday conversation.
But the personal issues of picking on certain members of the group as a part of the show was CRUEL and unnecessary.
Then every episode became either there was nothing going on or just tell the spirit to "go away"! Take control!
The shows of today bring forward so much more than Jason Hawes ever did. The investigators now try to bring in the history of why there is a haunting not just try to dismiss an issue but to have a solidified wall of purpose which contains prayer, priests, clergy and demonologists. Jason he's still claiming the same thing today... just reclaim your house. Tell the spirit this is my house.
I'm sorry but houses and facilities are haunted and those spirits don't always want to go away either because they are strongly attached or sadly they are evil. What do you do then Jason? Bully a demonic?,

There are so many other shows better than Ghost Nation! Just go back to working as a plumber.
Your show hasn't changed, you haven't changed and you need to move on. You opened the door and that was your purpose. It's over now. Let the younger more knowledgeable ones take over.

The Travel Ch will set out to promote some obscure hotel in Mexico under the title of the 10 best resorts in the World. The other 9 are and the #1 is mediocre. They pull this stunt all the time.

In the area of best beaches in the world they are very good, finding Ipanema in Rio consistently #1. Maybe it is harder for a beach to influence the ad department than some hotel.

I am a huge consumer and user of travel information so I am hyper-aware of bias. There are endless specials that end up promoting the gambling or alcohol industry.

One of the most reliable people on TV is Anthony Bourdain. Not just travel and food. Lets see how the Travel CH treated him. At every commercial break they warned women and children to beware of Bourdain's spicy language (No warning about ads for alcohol or gambling). They tried to turn him into a circus geek eating disgusting food in foreign countries. CNN had the good sense to let him write his own ticket, treat Bourdain with respect, and use his image to re-brand CNN as cool.

If the Travel Channel had nothing but paranormal reality type shows on the order of Kindred Spirits, Destination Fear, Ghost Adventures and renewed some of the really good shows like Haunted Hospitals, These Woods Are Haunted and My Haunted House, I would literally never need to change the channel.

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.

Travel channel AKA paranormal channel stinks & I enjoy GOOD and NEW paranormal stories. They claim shows are 'new' yet, they are repeatedly recycled old stories except for paranormal caught on camera which viewers write, film & present. I thought that narcissist's Zac Bagan's shows were unbearable crap until seeing (about 2 mins) of the Osbourns watching re-runs...'new show' Extreme Paranormal Witness? It is old, RE-RUNS. We liked Deadfiles but now they only show re-runs. DONE paying big bucks for directv. TV in general stinks but travel channel is unbearable garbage.

There is NO TRAVEL PROGRAMMING on the Travel Channel, it's been like this for years. That is unless you're watching from like 5am-6am, and that's only on weekends it seems, if you're lucky. All of the paranormal programs are tired and lame. The niche audience that this programming caters to is dwindling, and even they are now disillusioned with the cheap content. I have family that are certified paranormal nuts, and they laugh at the "Kardashian ghostbusters" shows as they call them. So the smaller demographic they're going for with their content are laughing at it, and not watching it. When Ghost Adventures is your anchor show you know it's not good. Don't turn on the Travel Channel for any reason, save yourself from the loss of brain cells. The "Ghost-douche" channel isn't even good for real paranormal enthusiasts. However, if you are looking for the discount aisle Dane Cooks/frat bros/sorority chicks of ghosts then you will probably like it haha.

The bark is still on the trees the guy is taking pics of the tree tops cut off from an alien crash in 1965 Let me tell you if the accident happened in 1965 the trees would not still have bark on them. Or still standing thats 57 years ago look at the tree tops those tree tops have been broken off by wind and not that long ago. Then the guy is scanniong the ground with a sonar machine and gets a hit and its an old soda can. Then they show the guys with black hats walking into a house with black coats and they use the phone. Then they show a pick up truck leaving the area with a piece off metal thats looks like a acorn covered with a cloth How did they lift the acorn on the truck in the woods was it that light LOl LOL Do you really think that show was realistic or B/S Look at the witness that said he saw it leaving the area LOL come on travel networth show anyone that believes what yopur showing is a moron

Short and simple... this is no longer the Travel Channel and the owners should be hit with fraudulent advertising by keeping that name. There is nothing to do with travel... only supernatural crap.

Sucks now. Never anything travel related. Thankfully, YouTube is awesome. Just plug in anywhere in the world and it does the job travel channel used to. Change the name to weirdo ghost crap!

Recently watched "Ghost Nation" 2 hour special in a jail where they brought in 4 additional investigators to do research. From what i understand they were at the location for 2 weeks time and their entire "reveal" to the owners was 2 audio clips where they guessed what was said, a total of about 10 seconds of information. I'm trying to process the amount of money that goes into flying this team out to these destinations to come back with that for "evidence" and these guys are the "best" in the business. The girl they added to the team has zero personality and is basically a background character at best and absent of anything valuable to add when shown on screen. For this team to be in this business for over 20 years and still act surprised when they hear a sound is obnoxious and pathetic, i would think at this point the basic stuff they would have less shock effect to, waste of time and network money along with the other 85 paranormal shows with oerhaos the exception of destination fear where it is a fun different approach. Bring back the "travel" shows like the Anthony Bordain style and the Bert The Conqueror type shows where they are actually entertaining and fun to watch.

You were my favorite channel jow I barely watch thing of canceling my subscription. I watched travel Channel everyday I like the spooky, but there hasn't been any new show for a while, where's dead files? Destination fear was canceled and that was a very good show actually one of my favorites and nick Groff every show he had on your channel is gone? I and holzer files is an awesome show I don't understand there'd nothing new except ghost nhuner? It makes no sense to me at all and I'm not the only one I don't like ghost adventures he's very arrogant and I use to like that show but now I feel it's all fake. Anyways please let me know when something new is coming Where's dead files? My favorite of all of them? It's been months since something new I'm not paying for this channel just to watch two shows I'd the shows aren't coming back let us know I'm your going to have cancel discovery plus I know I am.

It is absurd to conclude you can move a 1 ton stone on log rollers, the same as a actual 25 ton stone would be moved. It asinine to mathematically come to this conclusion...

Use to be one of my go to channels, but all this paranormal programming has taken the fun out of watching. Please go back to travel or rename your channel to the ghost channel.
