A case study in the culture of Internet Sleuths and how people just don't have all the information needed to know the truth...and how conspiracy theories can go right down the rat hole:

They turned a 10 minute clickbait youtube video into a four part series with hours of pointless content. The whole thing could have been boiled down into one hour. I was underwhelmed. [Reply]
First couple episodes were good then it fizzled into conspiracy nutters getting too much exposure.
I came away thinking less about the girl who died tragically and more about how truly fucked the internet is making people. Imagine being that emotionally impacted by someone you've never met, then using their death to generate clicks on your conspiracy laden youtube channel. [Reply]

Agreed. Which is why I called it a case study in Internet Sleuths. I also agree that this could have been probably 2 episodes instead of 4, and the last episode was complete filler and unnecessary.
But, I still enjoyed it on the whole. It's a fascinating story about the place itself, it's history and some of it's nefarious tenants. I've never heard of the place, but I guess it's quite infamous. [Reply]

Eh, it's not a bad watch. Good waste of an afternoon\evening if you've not nothing better to do. It was longer than needed, but it kept my attention. [Reply]
though, once they started talking about how she was bi-polar etc...I was like "oh, ok. she's either on drugs/ LSD, OR she wasn't taking her meds.
So the remaining episodes were a little long winded to arrive at the point I thought as pretty obvious. I thought they tried to make it more dramatic / suspenseful than it needed to be, when at the end of the day it was as simple as crazy chick didn't take her meds.
