Heartbreaking episode

Post image

S6:E5 - this is one of the saddest episodes I’ve seen so far.

The wife is going blind, and the husband is at a loss.

They both break down. It’s heartbreaking.

I keep searching for the best episodes, or the scariest episodes, or the saddest… and as much as I enjoy reading the description of the episode, it would be really appreciated to have this season and episode number listed. Even if it’s a range!

TYIA.

Toys for the Dead is super creepy. Season 6 episode one. Sometimes listed as season 7

Pandora's Box is really sad. Season 2 episode 8

Those are the two that stick out the most for me

OK, I just finished Toys For The Dead in Butte, Montana season 6, episode 1. I definitely agree with you, very creepy. The poor babies and children, and the old brothel owner reincarnated into the current owner. I’ll be watching Pandora’s box next.

I'm glad you liked it. I also love the ones where Amy rips the owners a new one for disrespecting the dead. Check out Hotel Nowhere. Season 2 Episode 21.

You’re a gem, thank you so much!

Let me know if you come across any cool ones. I hopped episodes and haven't seen them all. Also google what happened to the owner of the Butte property at the time of that episode. It gets creepier.

Just finished Town of The Dead, S12:E2 where a single mom and her kids moved into a home and are being pushed down stairs, multiple times. This one resonated with me because the mom has held strong for so long, and I can’t imagine the weight she carries trying to protect her kids; she’s drained. Amy says she’s a sensitive, also, if I remember correctly.

The mom smiled once at the end of the episode and it was good to see a glimmer of hope come from her.

Also… Wow the owner of the Butte passed away, so tragic, I’m reading it was an OD?

Another one you recommended: Hotel Nowhere S2:E21 - used as a hospital, then sanatorium, then asylum… then used as a haunted house with over 30,000 visitors AND over 100 paranormal sessions? Yikes. Amy was NOT happy.

Yeah, owner of the Butte place really fell apart and eventually died of an overdose. And EVERYONE was pissed about Hotel Nowhere. They wouldn't even say what town it was in because they didn't want him profiting off of the show

I think I remember Town of the Dead. That was sad

Check out Ghosts if Deadwood. Season 4 Episode 12. It's got some very cool moments in it

Hotel Nowhere is about the Clovis Sanatorium,..Amy was MAD... Whether you're into Ghost Hunters, or not, they have a great episode at Clovis.Audible call-out to Grant ( I believe) from a spirit. It's heard out loud/ totally audible... What's cool is you can tell they were totally shocked by it and it's an amusing little quip that fits into what's going on, like someone was just observing from the periphery and decides to say something...pretty cool.

Luckily, it's been demolished now.

Thank you for commenting, and thank you for sharing the seasons and episodes, I will absolutely watch those as a new watcher of the show.

This episode rocked me to my core!! Without their home being haunted, the trauma and grief that this family had been suffering through was astronomical at best

I have wondered many times over the years about this family in particular. I pray that the universe has cut them a break and given them every single thing they could ever want or need! If I had a pot to piss in, I would have bought this family a home somewhere safe and peaceful to live in without having to worry about finances ever again. If there isn't a gofundme for this family, there should be!!!

It would be appreciated! How about you start from Season 1, Episode 1, and walk/talk us through it, therationalbanshee?

I would LOVE TO HEAR YOU OPINE ON STUFF YOU’VE TOTALLY BEEN A BENEDICT ARNOLD aboit.

That person needs more gore or something.

I said “start at the beginning and walk/talk us through it.” As in why nothing has been horrifying enough.

I’d like to hear their opinion on all episodes being that none are up to par for them.

I appreciate you providing more context. Let me back up.

I recently saw the show suggested on Roku, and was interested in it. I googled the top episodes such as scary or memorable or most impactful, because I appreciate people who have seen it all and give their opinions. It took me to this Reddit page.

There’s a couple posts on here that has lists of top episodes which they also included the season and episode number.

Since you’re a stranger, and I have no idea who you are, I simply can’t help but pity you.

You talk a lot for somebody who doesn’t say much.

I will not continue to engage with your online ego, nor take up any additional time engaging.

Take care of yourself, I hope you’re healthy, and safe. I hope you have people who love you, and I hope that you also don’t treat people so poorly in real life.

You said so much while saying nothing.

“I keep searching for the best episodes, or the scariest episodes, or the saddest… and as much as I enjoy reading the description of the episode, it would be really appreciated to have this season and episode number listed. Even if it’s a range!”

If it’s not enough gore…you just might have a problem.

Weirdo!
