Just saw it come on late at night on the Travel channel - these three guys with cameras and other equipment go to the 'most haunted' places in the US, being locked in overnight and investigating... Most of it is hearing sounds, EVPs and running about during the night after getting history from individuals about it the day before.

To be honest, I think most of it is hyping up. Ooh I felt a chill, but they can't pull out a temperature gauge in time. Or they hear tapping in another room. All of their stuff seems.... well, not concrete. Even the EVPs seem false to me, honestly.

I wondered if anyone else had seen it and had any opinions about it. I'm not saying that all their evidence isn't true, after all they did find a mist moving away from the camera in a hallway and a flower moved. But aside from that... most of it seems to be for spook effect.

yeah i caught that last night too. i didnt really like it. everything was "paranormal" to them, they didnt try to find normal reasons for any of the things they experiences (or at least they didnt from when i tuned in, i saw the last 10 minutes of one episode and the whole episode of the next, then something else came on about the smithsonian). even the evp's they got that they claimed were "voices" i couldnt hear anything. yeah, they were strange noises, something that may have been out of the ordinary for them, but to me they just sounded like noises a room makes or something silly like that.

there fake

I concur with your assessment. They are sometimes entertaining but nearly scientific enough to give much credit. Perhaps the best most scientific approach is the series "GHOST LAB"...if you get that program.
They have state of the art equipment and the latest in technologies to help debunk something or prove it's existence.
Ghost Adventures boys also never seem to be quite in the right place at the right time,....they need to get serious and do it right if they want to capture the audience of the truly interested.

Did anyone see the most recent episode? The crew of three were at Wolfe Manor I believe, where "thousands upon thousands" were killed. The thing that was really crazy was that a guest on the show had developed this camera with a chip to show ultraviolet and the other form of color on the other side of the spectrum. The used this camera to see the ghosts and it seemed like the one they encountered in the basement was listening to him and doing as he said.

I don't know if I really like the show yet, but I thought it was ironic and wanted to see some other opinions or views on this camera they used. Also in the episode Zak was grabbed around the neck by a demon which he provoked. I don't know about that either...

I put it with most of the "reality based" ghost shows. Intersting but that's about it. Nothing special and I haven't learned anything from it I didn't already know. Not as bad as Ghost Hunters or Ghost Hunters International. Wish they would replace the cast or replace the show.

I was listening to the show and they were investigating a Masonic Temple and whoever gave them the info about Freemasons was soooo far off, it sounded like he was talking about something else but labeling it Freemasonary. I think the team does need to do SOME research about any esoteric places they visit and not leave it up to their guide.

I've seen them on the tube. They seem a little bit too headstrong about their investigations, I'm trying not to be a downer, but they should never provoke a spirit... Bad things are known to happen.

Just my thoughts.

i like watching the show actually. i mean yes it is bad to try and provoke a ghost or spirit because of the consequences that can happen later on but i like how they're not followed around by a camera crew and that they at least supposedly catch things on camera and video. I mean to me they are better than Ghost Hunters TAPS in a sense. i like them...i sometimes get a little annoyed when they make noise and you probably heard something they were hearing but one of them was talking and provoking and such

I enjoy watching the show, right up to the point when they start yelling and trying to talk over eachother, which drowns out anything that the microphones could have caught for us to hear... i got a chance to watch the pilot documentary that got them onto the travel channel. That was good. They seemed to take the investigation part very serious, and they were professional about it. I think now, they're into the "show" aspect of show business and left the professionalism at the side of the road to make room for ratings...
