Duncan and Sarah, paranormal investigators and the hosts of Ghost Hosts, are not happy when Jenny is added to the cast. They’re catty behind her back about her qualifications - does she have any? - and the amount of make up she wears.
The team is investigating the Carothers Estates where there is supposed to be activity. Jenny says she saw something in a hallway, but they brush her off saying it must have been the crew. This is a weird reaction for a team sent to find ghosts.
The team trots out Dan, who owns ghost hunting equipment and a ouija board. After getting a few reactions on equipment, they decide to go into the lobby and try to contact the spirit.
Here is where things get even slower. First the cast and crew stand around in a circle trying to make contact. Then they pull out the board and crowd around it. It’s like watching someone use a ouija board in real time.
After fifteen minutes of people sitting around the board, we get fifteen minutes of Dan alone using various equipment to try to get proof there are ghosts in the closet. Then Jenny disappears and everyone searches for her. You’ve never heard the word Jenny so much in one film, as they shout her name repeatedly.
So between sitting around the ouija, Dan alone in the closet, and shouting Jenny, this is forty minutes of the movie. Then at the one hour eighteen minute mark, we get a possession. But it’s a calm, seated, and conversational possession.
This is a movie where nothing really happens. If you’ve seen an episode of any ghost hunting show, you’ve seen this. You will get sick of the hosts saying, “hashtag ghost hosts.” The best part of the movie is the catty narrator who adds some color to the first third of the movie.

| The equipment shows a figure with knees facing to the right… |

| It’s a ghost, I guess. |
