Boo to the Hoo
I lurve to watch the ghost-hunting shows. I adore Ghost Hunters, and think Jason and Grant are at least sincerely trying to figure out the paranormal. Jason is the stoic one, the one who doesn't want to admit a place is haunted unless a ghost does cartwheels across the room in front of witnesses and three different types of cameras. They have filmed some freaky stuff. I've posted one of my favorite GH moments.
The Civil War Ghost on Thermal Imaging Camera
Another show I watch is "Ghost Adventures." Three young guys get locked down in so-called haunted places. They spend most of the night trying to provoke ghosts (and overreacting to noises, and seeing things either not caught on camera, or that turn out to be flying bugs or dust particles). In their defense, they are exploring some creepy-assed areas in the dark. I'd be freaked out, too. (Wait. I wouldn't ... because I wouldn't be there. Why do you think I watch this stuff at home?) Mostly I enjoy the wide variety of tones used when they say, "Dude!" Which is a lot. What got the ball rolling for Zak, Nick and Aaron was footage that they caught at the Goldfield Hotel in Nevada. Watch this 20-second clip. Note how Zak flips his shit. Heh.

Next Monday, I'm going to talk about Paranormal State and Most Haunted. I may also write a little something about A Haunting, which airs on Discovery Channel in the afternoons. Please put your favorite ghost shows in the comments. I can never watch enough paranormal drama.

Anyhoo - The Locked In crew's original documentary scared the living beewhosis out of me. Did you watch TAPS when they went to the Goldfield? That shadow dude in the corner...spooky!
I got hooked on TAPS after touring the Battleship NC in Wilmington and having a paranormal experience. I had no idea it was even haunted until afterwards when I saw Danny's book in the giftshop. I later met Danny bot then and a year later when I returned and he told me some goodies about TAPS investigation there that wasn't aired. We didn;t get to see everything that happened there apparently. I was hooked on TAPS after I saw the footage on the Battleship NC.
Most Haunted annoys me because they scream all the time and it hurts my ears. They ask a spirit to knock, but when it does they scream "OMG did you hear that?" And then there is all the stupid beeping for the bad language that pops out of their mouths during the screaming episodes. Just let us hear the cuss words, don't annoy us with that stupid beeping. Argh!
Don't get me going on the ghostie shows, I'll never shut up. Oh what the hell, I never shut up anyway.
Can't wait for Over My Dead Body! Broken Heart OK rocks!

DC :)
that's a freaky one!.... i haden't seen it before. My husband and two kids (ages 6 & 9)always watch this show!
One of my favorites is when they are in someone's house, in a bedroom, and the ghost or spirit, keeps throwing a hanger out of the closet!
Have you seen that one?
