What I liked

The doctor takes us through a presentation of the Davidsons’ “experiences”. There is strange audio to listen to, “cursed” objects to look at and hold, and stories that…just don’t seem to make sense. If you’re a fan of paranormal investigating, you should definitely see this show.

The dichotomy between the researchers builds up throughout the entire show. The tension, uneasiness, and frustration comes to a head in the final act and makes you really feel for them.

What I didn't like

When I realized the show was over, I was hoping to have a better resolution with what just happened. You do find out what happened, but I think that could have happened within the show and it would have still made sense.

My overall impression

I always say that I can judge on how good a show is by forgetting I’m at a show. Once the lecture for “The Witnessing” started, that is exactly what happened. I wasn’t at a Fringe show, I was at a Paranormal lecture with Dr. Daugherty who was debunking any and every thing that could be considered “paranormal”.
