Introduction
Turn off the lights and prepare to question everything you think you know about the paranormal. Executive-produced by the undisputed master of modern horror, James Wan, a terrifying new documentary series that is already sending shivers down the spines of viewers everywhere has arrived. True Haunting is officially available to stream, having just dropped on Netflix.
The name behind The Conjuring universe is attached to a new project where the stories are real. The show is already getting attention for a chillingly good reason: it masterfully blends genuine eyewitness accounts and documented evidence with the high-quality, terrifying horror filmmaking that has made Wan a global icon.
From the Architect of Your Nightmares
When James Wan’s name is attached to a project, you know you’re in for a terrifyingly good time. The mind behind genre-defining hits like The Conjuring, Insidious, and Saw has a unique talent for crafting fear that feels deeply real and unsettling. With True Haunting, his production company applies that talent to real-life paranormal cases, and the result is one of the most frighteningly effective docu-series ever made.
The Chilling Format: Real Testimony, Cinematic Terror
What makes True Haunting so unique is its groundbreaking format. This isn’t just another show with grainy footage and talking heads. The series features in-depth interviews with the actual people who lived through the terrifying events, allowing them to tell their stories in their own words, supported by real audio recordings and archival evidence.
Then, the show unleashes its secret weapon: bone-chilling cinematic reenactments. These are not cheesy, low-budget dramatizations. They are shot with the same suspense, style, and heart-stopping scare techniques that you’d find in a blockbuster horror film, bringing the eyewitness accounts to life in the most terrifying way imaginable.
Stories That Will Stay With You
The five-episode first season tells two distinct, well-documented stories that are sure to stay with you.
- The first story, titled “Eerie Hall,” spans three episodes and follows the terrifying experiences of college student Chris Di Cesare in a haunted dorm at SUNY Geneseo in 1984.
- The second two-part story, “This House Murdered Me,” chronicles the harrowing paranormal disturbances faced by a family in their Salt Lake City home.
Each case is a deep dive into a nightmare that, for the people involved, was all too real.
Why It's Getting Buzz: Authenticity Meets Horror
True Haunting is a hit because it delivers on a premise that horror fans have always craved: real stories told with the craft and terror of a great horror movie. The blend of genuine, emotional testimony from the witnesses with the signature filmmaking style associated with James Wan creates a uniquely immersive and believable experience. It’s scary because it feels true, and that’s a level of fear that fiction can rarely achieve.
