Hill said, 'Paranormal Witness, is not what I would consider a fair documentation. Reviewing the show's 'Long Island Terror' episode, science writer Sharon A. New York Times reviewer Neil Genzlinger criticized the show, saying, 'It doesn’t bother hunting for hard evidence it simply uses first-person testimony and re-enactment to sell the idea that someone has had a psychic encounter'. This leaves little, if any, room for intellectual challenge or edification'. According to Rappleye, 'Paranormal Witness” simply tells the story, insinuating that everyone should simply believe it as having actually occurred the way it is presented. While Deseret News writer Mark Rappleye characterized the show as 'full of mind-numbing creepiness', he said that the show 'will likely appeal more to believers and less to the even mildly skeptical'.
