This is quite blatantly a scripted, fiction film, that is- for some reason- listed here as a "documentary".
It's not.
And is quite clear about that fact.
That being said...the reasons for this become obvious when you learn who the filmmakers behind the project are: the husband and wife team of Greg and Dana Newkirk.
A couple who run a museum and podcast dedicated to haunted objects, and stories about haunted objects.
So...this is effectively just an elaborate marketing pitch, and call for you to send them your claimed to be haunted items for free...so they can put it in their museum, and make bank off it.
Now...I do believe in haunted objects...I have a painting called "Evil Man", which has a demonic entity attached to it.
So...I am by no means a skeptic.
However...the story presented here- about an effigy found in the Catskills mountain, with nails driven into the eyes, that is said to be haunted a "Crone" type entity- is quite absurd.
And backed by no evidence whatsoever...other than unfounded, unreliable, unreplicatable "ghost hunting" techniques that can easily be dismissed.
As previously noted...when all is said and done, it's actually quite clear that the whole thing is scripted.
They not only allude to this fact...but even poke fun at it.
So, as a documentary...it has zero value.
Though, as a mockumentary...you might argue it's cleverly done.
That is...if you ignore that it's mainly a feature length commercial for themselves, and their museum.
Acting as a desperate plea for you to send them your thought to be haunted objects.
So it doesn't deserve anything more than a 2.5 out of 10.
Which is being generous.
