Haunted History is a 1998 UFA/Cafe Productions series exploring the supernatural. Executive Producer Ed Babbage for Cafe. The American version of the show also debuted in 1998 with the same premise of exploring the world to investigate the "haunted history" of reportedly haunted locations.
It is leaps and bounds above the 2013 series...and mainly because of John Glover who has the absolute creepiest narration I have ever heard in a documentary since Jean Simmons fro "Mysteries of the Bible."
And then it has the edge on the 2013 rendition because of the locations, it covered more and the stories were better. And, again, coupled with John Glover's creepy narration and it can send a serious chill down your spine that the ghost hunting shows of today could only hope for.
It's spooky as all get out and well worth viewing...especially on Halloween
