Caution: Baby Witches At Play
What did I watch? Women who are hitting middle age acting like high school girls as they discover witchcraft. So where do they go for training and ghost hunting? Why, the biggest tourist attraction in the world! Salem, MA! And they spend an entire week training!
Any pagan went through the baby witch phase, but most a good bit younger than Vanessa and GG. But they seem to not be more evolved than teenagers.
Ladies, if you can't follow the directions to bake Toll House cookies, your would be really amusing to watch trying to cast spells. Learn to follow a recipe first.
Yes, this is a disaster. The viewer gets no information about paganism, or even about ghost hunting. There is no rational side offered either. Oh, voices in the basement of a liquor store? Is there a basement of another building adjacent to the store, with voices carrying through the pipes? Hearing people on the street, or upstairs? Nah, it has to be ghosts.
It is amusing to watch these two scare themselves, so they should have just gone with that angle. Instead, we get style over any modicum of substance.
