Just watching the first episode, I really haven't formed an opinion, one way or the other.
The "Ghosts" downstairs, need to be identified, just as the ones upstairs were, and the audience told why they are in the basement in the first place.
Also, please be real. The hot water heater will be bad after 40 years. I had one for 22 years, and that was a blessing, considering it was only suppose to last for 15.
