The Stories Inside
Eerie Hall
This first arc narrates the experiences of a college student, Chris Di Cesare, in 1984 at SUNY Geneseo. Strange voices, apparitions, and a creeping terror begin in his dorm known as “Erie Hall”.
Part way through the arc, journal logs, photography and claims of attacks or physical marks surface, making it more than just “something unseen”.
This House Murdered Me
The second arc shifts to a historic Victorian style home in The Avenues neighborhood of Salt Lake City. A young family moves in, starts renovations, and discovers their dream home has something far more sinister beneath the surface.
Why It Stands Out
- The involvement of James Wan brings a potent horror pedigree known for films like The Conjuring and Insidious, his team ensures high production value and tension.
- The docu format blends real testimonies with cinematic reenactments, giving it both authenticity and visual drama.
- Releasing just ahead of the Halloween season gives it strong seasonal appeal for horror fans.
Viewing Tips & What to Watch For
- Watch with the lights low: Given the supernatural subject matter and atmospheric visuals, the show benefits from spooky ambience.
- Mind the tone: Even though it’s based on “true” stories, accept that dramatization is part of the format for cinematic effect. Some reviewers point this out.
- Pause & reflect: After the first arc, pause to digest what you’ve seen. The series prompts questions about belief, memory and the unseen.
- Go deeper: If you’re intrigued by the college haunting in Eerie Hall, you might explore more about Chris Di Cesare’s accounts online.
Final Verdict
True Haunting is a compelling pick for horror doc lovers who like a mix of “real story” + dramatic flair. It may not reinvent the genre, but it packages what works haunted locations, firsthand accounts, expert production into a tight bingeable series. If you’re seeking something eerie, atmospheric, and grounded in the supposedly “true” supernatural, this one belongs on your Netflix queue.
