Stupid ghost shows on T.V??

[Neil350]

I could run around my house with the lights off and sony handicam at night and provide the same results. I can't believe any one would watch these shows. I'd rather take my chances with the ghosts then I would with half these crap shot paranormal experts. :face_shocked: Most people have a healthy interest in the occult and out of the ordinary, but this stuff is horrible.

Hahaha...

Yeah I hear ya Neil, Ive been forced to watch a couple of those with a couple chicks (really, the only thing that could force me to...) and I feel the same way. Seems pretty fake, and I dont even believe some of the people who claim to be "harassed" by the ghosts. Some of the stories are more believeable than others.

Now, I believe in the possibility of ghosts.... Just not everyone and their mother having an encounter.... Seems like alot of publicity stunts to me.

this^^
i believe in ghosts, but not EVERY story out there.
i will say paranormal activity was freaky, but i knew it was fake. it's amazing what movies can do with special effects. they had america thinking it was a true story,

[RoboLuke]

Paranormal Activity is more real than any of those shows.

It's just like Monster Quest. If they actually found something I wouldn't just be hearing about it on that show.

I worked at Fort Delaware State Park for many summers. I am also a lifetime member of the society for the Fort. Halloween of 2008 TAPS (Ghost Hunters) ran a 7 hour special out at the fort. Now i have been all over the fort, even places they did not go. I have been there overnight several times. I have NEVER seen anything. I think you need to believe in that stuff to see it. That being said, the TV show really made an impact and attendance to the Fort has been a lot higher. The only thing I dont like is more ppl come more for the "ghosts" and less for the history. South Park did an excellent job poking fun at TAPS.

I've been to St. Augustine right after TAPS went, even to the bar they hung out at. I went through the neighborhood and an abandoned house (2 story), I tell ya, what an experience. We did capture some stuff, but some stuff was also lost. SD card malfunctioned and a little over half the pictures were either too distorted or corrupt.. I kept the distorted ones just in case, and some pics did come out with some apparitions..

Would I go back to St. Augustine? Hell yea, kinda why I bought my 1080p HDV camera ;) ..

I do live and used to live, in a haunted house.. I got a video from my current house, and previous house was all personal experience from both me when I was a little child and to my parents... I believe in ghosts very much..

I haven't had any "experiences" but my wife has. Growing up she always thought the house next door to her parents house was haunted. Come to find out all the ghost hunter type people in the stl area know the house and have done many, many investigations on it and consider it one of the most active houses around. I have seen footage they got, pictures and video, and it is pretty freaky stuff.

My wife saw 3 figures when she was 16 or 17 on there road. She says they were an older lady, young lady and a child. She never told anyone about them except for her mom after it happened and me about 8 years ago when we were watching a ghost show. We happened to run into the people down there one day and started talking to them and my wife mentioned the 3 figures and they about shit their pants. All the evidence that has been collected leads them to 3 women, a grandmother, mother and child.

i guess i would have to see it for myself to believe it. a few people i work with believe in it. i think its funny to mess with people who claim to see things that no one else does.

[Neil350]

Theres been a lot of science trying to explain it, theres a part of your brain that is stimulated by electricity and that can cause you to feel as if your being watched. A lot of encounters are waking dreams, or other tricks

Monster Quest is such a let down.

I belive in spirits I know one very well he lives at my wifes best friends house.We call him fred and I am one of the few guys he doesnt harass while I am at her house.It is very creepy at times.

[Joker Z28]

I belive in ghost and spirits.
I know for a fact that they exist, I know for a fact it is very possible and easy to "get in touch" with spirits but am highly against it.

I do believe a lot of the stories and TV shows is full of bullshit.

I disagree. I do not believe in ghosts or being haunted. Never seen any ghosts. I have been in some situations where something freaky happens only to realize later that it was just this or that. People want to see it so they see it weather its there or not. The people around you also influence situations even if you dont realize it.
Shows like monster quest are just for ratings. They never find anything and if they do find something the results are inconclusive.
Its all fake! Ghosts, bigfoot, loch ness, aliens. They are stories.
