Bernard's 2025 walkthrough review.
#HauntedOrHoax 6/10.
I'm generous as I โค๏ธ wee Isabel Kanaan. This honest webseries on YouTube is much better done in bite size chunks over a week than inexplicably dragged out over 3 months. Loved the Twitter & multimedia tie-ins.

#HauntedOrHoax End of walkthrough.
Do I recommend?
As a webseries it's a decent watch. But it was vanity to put this out over 4 months. Should've been put out over a week. I'd even have kept a "live" stream going between eps and inserted eps as needed. It has no impact spread over 15 weeks.
#HauntedOrHoax "Grantham House" Webisode #30 (12-Sep-16).
Final ep.
I swear if Jac had run at the end with an axe!
Decent finale. They try to set up future stories but I don't thing this format works or particularly has legs.

#HauntedOrHoax "Grantham House" Webisode #29 (09-Sep-16).
Casey faces down the ghost of the witch.
Though this series missed every trick going in how it could've been formatted and aired at least it is ending strongly. The SFX aren't too "I used by laptop ok" either.

#HauntedOrHoax Webisode #28 (05-Sep-16).
Another strong ep as this nears the end so it's a shame the format for this show was so unhelpful to promoting the content.
Some decent scares on screen that we probably should have seen in that disappointing upstairs ep.

#HauntedOrHoax Webisode #27 (02-Sep-16).
The problem this had it should've streamed over a week. But finally 3 months in the story starts to deliver. The YouTube views didn't drop too much in that time maybe just 20%-25% to my surprise.
Witchcraft is introduced!

Although I've been following along on Casey's, Jac's and the show's original Twitter accounts from 2016 I just found out that Ellia also had a Twitter account. That might have been useful to know before now!

#HauntedOrHoax "Grantham House" Webisode #26 (29-Aug-16).
The love triangle resolves as Casey realises she loves Ellia and that Jac's love of Casey isn't reciprocated. The relationships are the best bit of this show, probably the only bit that worked as it should.

#HauntedOrHoax "Grantham House" Webisode #25 (26-Aug-16).
Casey works out the mystery of what happened in the past. Err maybe? Which ghost did they even see, Emily or Elizabeth? I like how Jac's twitter a/c shows her getting more isolated from Casey/Ellia.

I spun the cursed wheels and landed on Twin Paranormal โ because of course I did. Random timestamp, chaotic modifiers, no prep.

#HauntedOrHoax "Grantham House" Webisode #24 (22-Aug-16).
Ellia is snowed in so can't bail. She reveals all the women died age 27 and she is 27 tomorrow.
The plotting has been sporadic and it's unclear why Ellia would leave it to chance so late in the day.

#HauntedOrHoax Webisode 23 cont'd.
What they should have done with this entire series is run it in real time so like 2 eps a day, 2 a night to follow the events on the show as they happen. Spreading it out over 3.5 months was a very silly idea and meant this thing totally disappeared in the mix.
#HauntedOrHoax "Grantham House" Webisode #23 (19-Aug-16).
Now that Casey's theory about what happened in teh past apepars to be contradicted she is back at square one with no theorys. So Ellia quits the house.

#HauntedOrHoax "Grantham House" Webisode #22 (15-Aug-16).
A ceremony reveals a ghost. This is the show's problem you can't not show the ghost previously but then show it now in a basic ass effects shot. Ok I'll be interested how this ends but it hasn't worked.

#HauntedOrHoax "Grantham House" Webisode #21 (12-Aug-16).
Night 3: Casey and Ellia research the lives of the original owner and learn a few secrets. Pretty conventional fare.

#HauntedOrHoax "Grantham House" Webisode #19 (05-Aug-16).
The Wayback machine has only preserved the first 18 eps so I don't know the titles of eps #19-#30.
Casey is not for turning and is going upstairs but Ellia is scared now. I like super obsessed Casey.

#HauntedOrHoax "Grantham House" Webisode #18 'Hanging by a Thread" (01-Aug-16).
This was a longer ep. Maybe they are making up for that lost week.
Casey is not getting support from Jac. I still don't quite get what the in-universe HoH webviewers would be seeing?!

#HauntedOrHoax "Grantham House" Webisode #17 'Hallucination or Manifestation' (29-Jul-16).
The actors are doing all the hard yards here as the director is not bringing any scares with the choices. Casey's dream is recounted. Ellie is interested in learning more.

#HauntedOrHoax "Grantham House" Webisode #16 'Her" (25-Jul-16).
Night #2.
A decent attempt at a scare for once I guess. Ellia and Casey bond further. Jac feels threatened.
I still think HoH's live cam idea has not worked at all in any way for these webisodes.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDlb...
#HauntedOrHoax "Grantham House" Webisode #15 'Harboring Doubt' (22-Jul-16).
Ellie and Casey are bonding over the need to discover the truth whereas Jac is a doubting Thomas. So Jac is starting to get isolated.

If this show hasn't delivered weekly well next up is a week's hiatus,
We get 3 cast interviews to cover the gap...
None are earthshattering much like the show alas.

#HauntedOrHoax "Grantham House" Webisode #14 'Here in My Dreams' (11-Jul-16).
Casey is tied into the house so her interview has become her own testimony.
The actors are doing all the heavy lifting to deliver as the director has not got a single scare going in 14 eps.

This has problems.
The webcam angle is silly and needed to have sfx on it to show it is a webcam.
There simply isn't enough story for the 2 eps each week. It needed to be daily and take 1 month max overall not 3 months.
Plus the one room location is a big let down.
#HauntedOrHoax "Grantham House" Webisode #13 'Holding Back' (08-Jul-16).
Casey interview Ellie but it's Casey who reveals her own dad died researching the house.
The direction starts with that one webcam angle but then goes to a more intimate style for Casey's reveal.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsJH...
#HauntedOrHoax "Grantham House" Webisode #12 'Helping Hand (04-Jul-16).
Jac is starting to feel threatened by Ellie.
Each ep does actually have a title. They are only preserved on the Way Back Machine site. Every title begins with the H which I admire as it's silly.

#HauntedOrHoax "Grantham House" Webisode #11 (01-Jul-16).
I like how much better Casey is in terms of interpersonal skills compared to Jac. Jac is a bit of a dummy in this ep.
Ellie and Casey have a bit of sexual chemistry but I'm unsure it'll go that way.

Even in universe I don't get what's going on. Is the laptop supposed to be on the whole time broadcasting live? That doesn't work in in-universe or as drama. Likewise did they not get permission at the location to shoot outside that one room? It's really odd.
