In the original 4 season run, A Haunting generally had good reviews, as it was aired on the Discovery Channel. Millions of people in the US alone would sit down every Friday night at 10 to watch these spectacular stories evolve before their very own eyes. The show was cancelled however, in 2007 and ended its original air on Discovery.
In 2012, A Haunting was revived by Discovery's sister channel, Destination America. Although fans were absolutely thrilled at the news, A Haunting's ratings for the 2012 season, were not good.
In 2013, outrage hit many of A Haunting's loyal fans when a measly, 4-episode season was released. It was discovered soon after that many viewers in the U.S. hadn't had a subscription to the channel, as it is premium on most providers. That was discovered to be the relevant cause of the significant drop in ratings.
Even with the 16 episode, 2014 season just around the corner, fans are fearing for the worst in ratings. We love A Haunting and thank you, Destination America, for reviving it for us!
We are asking that season 8 in 2015, or possibly even season 7 (current), be aired on another network that more people are subscribed too. This will cause higher ratings, which means more episodes, and more seasons, which is ultimately what fans want.
So we are asking Destination America, and the rest of the Discovery Networks to revise their network placement for 'A Haunting'. The spectacular stories on this show need to be heard by many, if not all people. Please, consider placing 'A Haunting' into a non-premium channel where more viewers will have access.

I never thought we would see this kind of momentum when I first started typing this out in a total panic about the channel situation. It feels surreal that so many of you are actually paying attention to this and honestly it makes me think we might actually have a shot at getting someone higher up to listen to us (finally).

Please make A Haunting, available to all whom have a Tv. Not all of us can afford premium channels! I guarantee the ratings will go up, if you do.
Love the series. It helps give insight to investigators when situations arrise while on a case as well. It needs to be reacable by a larger audience, make it viewble on a network equally accessible. Please!
If only being aired in certain country then there us going to be a drop in ratings.(Australia)
There is a good reason for the drop in ratings. I am not bashing but the paranormal gets old hat real fast when you have nothing new. Yes I know they are different people with different stories but in this field, in telling ghost stories and the like things go south quickly.
I always have to wait for the DVD's to come out since I don't get that Destination America channel. It kind of sucks, but I deal with it. It would be nice not to have to wait that long though. :)
Keep it on
One of the best shows i have watched.

I love the show. The actors are wonderful. It is unbelieveable that there are so many experiences and the kind of phenomena leaves you breathless. I wish we knew more about how to deal with them. A wonderful show. There must be many cases that need to be heard.
