Okay, so I’ve been seeing this “Captain Grant’s Inn” thing popping up all over my Netflix recommendations. It’s categorized as a “reality” show, which, let’s be honest, can be hit or miss. But the picture looked kinda spooky – old house, maybe haunted? – and I was bored, so I figured, why not?
First, I looked at the show’s description on Netflix. It mentioned something about a historic inn and guests experiencing paranormal activity. Sounded interesting enough. I’m not a huge believer in ghosts, but I do enjoy a good ghost story.
Getting Started.
I grabbed some snacks – because you can’t watch a potentially spooky show without snacks – and settled in on the couch. The first episode started with a quick overview of the inn and its history. Apparently, it’s been around for a long time and has a reputation for being haunted.
- The owners seemed pretty normal, maybe a little quirky.
- The guests, well, they were a mixed bag. Some were clearly there for the “ghost hunting” experience, while others seemed genuinely freaked out.
As I watched, I noticed that a lot of the “evidence” was pretty standard stuff – creaking doors, weird noises, cold spots. Things that could easily be explained by an old house settling, you know? But then there were a few moments that made me jump. Like, I actually yelled at the TV once (don’t judge!).
I binged a few episodes in a row. It was one of those shows that’s easy to get sucked into, even if you’re not totally convinced it’s real. I found myself getting invested in the guests’ experiences, even if I was a little skeptical.
My Takeaway.
I’ve gotta give this show for doing what its meant to.
After finishing all available episodes, I’m still not sure what to believe. Part of me thinks it’s all staged, but another part of me is like, “What if…?”
I probably wouldn’t stay at Captain Grant’s Inn myself – I’m not that brave – but I’d definitely recommend the show to anyone who likes a good spooky story, real or not.
