Hi. Has anyone been to Hauntings - A Live Ghost Show? I find precious few reviews posted on the net so I'm not sure if its worth including. Anyone care to post their experience? Thanks.

The Great Chinese Circus folded so I added Cirque de Chine, formerly known as The Legends of China (I can smell the cease and desist letter now :-).
