GHOSTMAP

We all watch them from time to time and regardless of your favorite show a few things will ALWAYS be missing from paranormal television.

1) A clear photo or tape of a spirit: I don’t care if your friendly neighborhood ghost got gussied up and went down to a professional photo studio and posed for a pic it will NEVER come out. You see ghosts are comprised of energy and even if they went corporeal the amount of energy they are burning threw just won’t allow itself to transfer itself to film. The best pics you will see will be grainy or blurry regardless of the power level of the ghost.

2) You will never see what goes on with most TV psychics: That amazing stuff you see on TV is just edited down to a two minute section where they take the info the psychic gets right from a 30-60 minute read. Ghosts are never as clear as you are led to believe on TV. The other thing there is a psychic on a cable show that will remain nameless for legal reasons who is so fake he must have a copy of the house history, report of whats been happening in the house and where, and a report of what any previous investigators have uncovered before he does a reading on camera. Pretty easy to guess things when you have all that info right? Guess you need to be holding all the “Chips” before you make your reveal to the home owner of the home over a cup of “coffey” err I mean coffee.

3) The last thing you will never see is how many investigators manipulate viewers. It’s easy to do in fact find a person who believes in ghosts and create a scenario where a haunting is possible then add screams and darkness and viewers will believe.

The show Ghost Hunters is already Syfy’s longest-running original reality television series. Now the supposedly unscripted and “real” show is extending its run with an 8th season pickup. The 20 episode season eight will premiere on Syfy in 2012. This season the show has averaged one million adult viewers between the ages of 18-49. Since its 2004 premiere, Ghost Hunters has spawned 2 spin-offs, with over two hundred episodes among the 3 series.

I actually have a few things that bug me when it comes to modern day ghost hunter TV shows. First off why do we call them ghost hunters? They’ll never capture a ghost so wouldn’t ghost observers be more fitting or paranormal evidence hunters? Also most of the  emf stuff in most cases is your mind taking a random regular everyday noise and convincing you it’s a ghost because thats what you want it to be.

Please stop showing me pictures of dust, firefly’s and lights reflecting off of shinny objects and trying to convince me they are ghosts. Also viewers are smart and thanks to HD we can tell when your using wires and other objects to fake shots *cough Grant Wilson*. However my biggest pet peeve of all is why do they only look at night? Do they think a ghost will not be out in the day time? They shoot at night because darkness is  spooky and it aids in playing tricks in the viewers minds. Please guys of all the ghost shows on TV start realizing we’re not idiots and treat us right or we’re going to start changing the channel.

Who said you’ve gotta watch films like It’s a Wonderful Life, Elf and A Christmas Story on Christmas Eve? A lot of people prefer something a little bit  spookier around the holidays and no, I am not referring to one of the numerous adaptations of A Christmas Carol. This Dec 24, Syfy will be airing a big Ghost Hunters marathons for people prefer their holiday entertainment to be presented for the most part in night-vision.

Syfy has Ghost Hunters set to start airing on the evening of December 23rd all the way through to 11:00 p.m. on December 24th!

This is just way to funny  Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson are pimping their co-owned Spalding Inn as a “haunted inn”. They claim they have had personal experiences here and even brought their wives in on it. Now thats all well and good but it just strikes me as super odd that the only people who say it is haunted are on a ghost hunters show and on top of that they feature their new business on an episode of Ghost Hunters.

The experiences recounted ALL could be easily explained and debunked and anybody with half a brain should be able to see all this is just an attempted to make money off the ghost hunter names. If Pilgrim and Sci-Fi give these guys so much pull that they can blatantly conduct a fake episode and promote to death via the  web this “haunting” they own then I ask all you ghost hunter viewers to turn off scifi in protest.

It makes me sick that these guys are playing like the Spading Inn in Whitefield, NH. is the next Stanley Hotel or  Hotel Del Coronado and this is just crazy.  There are no facts to support this and actual experts I’ve asked actually claim the area is actually on the low end of paranormal activity so low in fact your just as likely to see a ghost in your own home.

Has it only been 5 seasons? Ghost Hunters started in 2004 and I’ll admit the first season was ok except for the ocassional faked scene and the whole fake roto router guys. Here we are it’s 2009 and now nearly every event that takes place on the show is staged and they still want us to beleive they are plumbers. Come on SciFy almost nobody is dumb enough to beleive this show anymore.

I do admit I still watch it from time to time to see Laurel and Hardy err I mean Steve and Tango. They are the shows written in comic releif. I guess the only way to prove to some people may be to post a copy of a script from one of the episodes I happen to get my hands on. It hasn’t aired yet so let me see if I can legaly post it.

Til next time keep it spooky.

On October 23, 2008, TV Guide reported that Sci Fi will launch a spin-off of the show called Ghost Hunters: College Edition, which will feature co-eds in the ghost hunter roles.

Is it just me or does seem like somebody is trying to get the audiance Parinormal State has stated to draw. What’s next Ghost Hunters Senior Edition with Senior’s having hart atacks from the fright. Come on guys 2 shows is enough.
