Happy Halloween!

Also, I can’t believe I recorded 7 hours of the Ghost Hunters Live show on Sci-Fi. I know they’re not going to find anything, at least not what I consider “finding” something. I’m sure they’ll get tons of hits on their infrared and thermal cameras, etc… but it always seems like the camera filming the show is always fixated on the hunters, and not the surroundings, so instead of getting to see anything, we always just see the hunter startled and say something like “did you hear that?” or “did you see that?” — hell no we didn’t see it because the damn camera was filming YOU.

The show is having horrible audio and video problems so far. Probably because of the ghosts, right?

I’m obviously a bit of a skeptic, although I do believe in paranormal/supernatural occurrences, I just don’t really believe in these ghost hunting shows. I think I could grab a thermal camera and go walk around my property and make an interesting ghost hunt as well. Maybe not, I don’t know. I will watch tonights show and enjoy it, simply for the history if nothing else. I enjoy history, and I enjoy seeing the various places (in this case, Fort Delaware) that these shows go.

Man, they just encountered some “voice” that told them they were “not supposed to be here.” It honestly sounded like a fake movie electronic voice, and the whole scene seemed scripted for television.

This is so much horseshit. One of the ghost hunters just told a ghost that the little EMF detector would “not harm you or burn you in any way”…how the hell does he know what will hurt a ghost? LOL.

There is also some dude that came into the room while the Ghost Hunters were “investigating”, so they asked him to leave. A few minutes later they start talking to the ghost again, and ask the ghost to knock on something to answer them. Sure enough, they hear a knock. Of course, to me, it sounded like it came from where the random dude came into the room a few minutes ago. We know there are people in the VERY NEXT ROOM, why the hell should I believe that knocking sound came from a friggin’ ghost and not the people in the next room?

I can’t believe I’m wasting my time watching this crap.

There are “guest investigators” on the show, who I assume are some kind of celebrities on the Sci-Fi cchannel. One of the hosts keeps asking the girl celebrity chick if she is OK and he’s acting like she is terrified, he says he’s not sure if she’ll make it through the night without a heart-attack. However, the chick does NOT seem scared about anything at all, she seems bored to be there.

I can’t watch 7 hours of this.
