[1] chronicles the "terrifying true stories of the paranormal told by people who experienced real-life horror tales." It presents the stories of people who believe that they have lived in
haunted houses, or have been the victim of a personal haunting. ''A Haunting'' can be seen on the
Discovery Channel. Season 4 premiered on

2007.
Format
Each one-hour episode dramatizes ghost stories based on claimed-to-be true events. The show presents these stories through cinematic reenactments of the events along with accounts from the eyewitnesses themselves. However, Discovery Channel, an institution in scientific research and the quest for truth, has been criticized for the apparent lack of its research missing from the show's content.
The show began as two feature-length specials ("
A Haunting in Connecticut" and "
A Haunting in Georgia"). They were developed by
Allison Erkelens, who also served as head writer. The specials were executive produced by
Tom Naughton and
Nicolas Valcourfor
New Dominion Pictures. Based on strong ratings, "A Haunting" became a one-hour series on The Discovery Channel produced by
Larry Silverman.
