MTV's Fear

»MTV's Fear Summary

MTV's FEAR was partly about paranormal investigation and partly about pushing one's limits of fear. Taking 5 everyday normal people and placing them in a haunted location FEAR stretched our imaginations and paved the way for shows like Celebrity Paranormal Project and Ghost Hunters.

The people were chosen from videotapes sent in. They were blindfolded led to the location and left alone. Given cameras, recorders and EMF detectors these people were asked to go beyond their limits of fear and investigate haunted locations.

Whether they found evidence of a ghost or other paranormal activity or whether they just scared themselves silly MTV took us along on the ride. We were able to see every scream every jump and all the terror we could want. If the contestants could make it through the night and complete every task assigned to them they won $5000 dollars. Could YOU face your FEAR for five thousand dollars?

The show MTV's Fear is entertainment only and not a serious ghost hunting series for those looking for information. However it's always entertaining watching perfect strangers get their wits scared out of them. That's MTV's Fear.
