*Author’s note: When I wrote this article nearly two years ago, I – admittedly, and through the benefit of hindsight – was really having a chronic case of “sour grapes.” My opinion of paranormal research has been evolving as I have started to realize that, ultimately, they’re just people trying to be successful at what they do. Just like me. However, I will not delete this post because I think it is important to the full gestalt of my own evolution as a researcher. I will never deny having had these opinions at one time, but I no longer have the rage that I had, nor do I feel that their contributions are any less important than mine, although we may approach it from different angles. Jason and Grant, keep on keepin’ on.*
Yes.
Okay, so here’s the deal…I watch pretty much every television show pertaining to the paranormal that comes around the bend, due to my greater than average interest in the field (and my addiction to anything passing itself off as “reality” TV). In fact, I might even go as far as saying that I am an authority on the subject matter. As such, I can say without hesitation that Jason and Grant (and the whole lot of them) are irretrievably full of shit (perhaps due to hefty financial swaying by the network), and they have completely blighted the way the entire field of paranormal investigation is perceived.
It’s bad enough that ghost hunters have historically come across as socially retarded, fedora wearing chodes, and now we have a brand spanking new variety of chicanery to sort through.
Generally speaking, the level of rage that deluges my entire being is usually reserved for junior high guidance counselors and soccer moms with cell phones driving SUVs filled with horrid little children.
In the unlikely event that the esteemed UMOA readers have not heard of Jason, Grant, or anyone involved with T.A.P.S., allow me to give a little background:
Jason and Grant are founding members of the Atlantic Paranormal Society (T.A.P.S.) and, based on some nebulous personal experiences in their collective youth, they decided to hang a shingle and start a paranormal investigation group, ostensibly to find “answers” to what happened to them and blah, blah, blah. Somewhere along the line, they managed to parlay their employment as plumbers for Roto-Rooter into corporate sponsorship, and that led to the eventual creation of the show that I really love to hate… Ghost Hunters.
On each episode, the intrepid band of researchers convene upon a location purported to have paranormal activity and, through an intricate choreography of ass-backwardness, they lay down cables and tape cameras to walls (while simultaneously arguing about which piece of equipment Brian lost, as he is the show’s unattractive scapegoat), and proceed to “investigate” by familiarizing themselves with the entire back story of the activity, undoubtedly so they can be sure and report similar experiences. During the lesser episodes, they will generally make a Cecil B. DeMille production of debunking the activity based solely on their experience as plumbers for Roto-Rooter (a detail that is mentioned no less than 415 times during an average show) and the happenstance that they were not able to collect and evidence (never mind the fact that most legitimate investigations will require numerous visits and lots of waiting around, but rarely a plunger and a drain snake).
On the episodes where they DO claim to find evidence, it’s always at some regional landmark that is likely to generate revenue as a result of having activity, and the evidence is so dubiously FANTASTIC that it makes me want to punch myself in the face.
For example, during a visit to the famous Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, CO, we see Grant futzing around with his little cheap-ass camera in the dark hotel room, and – conveniently – when he asks the show’s cameraman to use his light to illuminate his task of “changing the tape” (which inexplicably involved pointing the SciFi channel camera to the ground), the table shakes violently and a chair flies off the ground and hits the wall. I guess turning on the light in the room would have broken protocol, since paranormal activity ONLY happens in the dark, right? Too bad these pros never thought to have a back-up camera running, huh?
I fucking hate liars, seriously.
There is nothing scary about this programme at all. I mean…where are the ghosts? All they have ever had was voices..(which could be their own)..orbs (which could be from their videocamera)..their shirt ot pants tugged (which i myself can act it professionally). They should come to ASIA perhaps..and follow this programme called “ENTITY”. HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHA..then they’ll know what they get there. No E.V.P or thermal scanner and whatever gadgets they used is needed for “ENTITY”.
These rejects need to be taken off the air, But if you watch what passes for MTV now, you’ll soon realize they are exactly where they belong. Soon the only thing left on TV will be this type of tripe.
Eugenics is the answer. So long as stupid people outnumber us, these crap shows will keep getting ratings.
Wow it’s been awhile, but yes they are fake and some of their people don’t like to return money. Sorry but yes they are in for the money nothing more. I have been checking out the SciFake site and it seems some people (well most of the people) never had their money returned for Tapscon 2009. It seems the guy that was in charge of this is nowhere to be found. Taps it seems has not done zip to help their fans. From what I am seeing they have turned from nice guys to complete *&%#@ holes. See always the gentleman. Sorry I watch Primeval on BBC or Dragons Den or something besides GH/GHI or any other Ghost show. Or have a tooth pulled! Sorry they have gone to the dark side and I can’t wait till they are off the air. I still can’t believe they have the college GH coming. What does everyone live in Trailer Parks?
Hey, OK not a fan, you’ve mentioned that you read these posts on the train…I just heard about that awful train accident and I am hoping you respond just to say “Hey, I’m okay, I hate TAPS”
Because otherwise I will worry.
Hey Katie
I was not on the train that day but you never know what will happen. Yes I am ok and still dislike Taps. I did know some friends who were on there. They are ok, but a little banged up.
I think this is all crap. Jay and Grant are great guys and you people should be ashame of putting other people down like this. I love watching GH and GHI. Hate to see what you people think of Ghost Adventures and Paranormal State. So for all those who hate GH should learn GH is NOT a reality show that should be bashed like this. Why dont u all clean ur own backyard before u try to clean someone elses.
You’re right, Carrie. I’m so ashamed.
*yawn*
I’m sure Jay and Grant are delightful. Carrie, do you have any formal training in paranormal research?
Sorry Carrie, have you been able to look around at the other sites. Yes people are jumping all over them because ….well their all fake. Sorry to burst your bubble, but you should ask all the people who lost their money to Tapscon2009 (see the site SciFake and others) then you tell me how you feel. More than likely your Grant or Jason or one of the other complete dumb %^$#*.
See Katie always the gentleman. Sorry it’s a TV show that got caught on TV faking. I can’t wait till the shows off the air. Then they could go back to working at a burger joint.
OK, you are always a gentleman. Will you take me to prom?
yes katie i do have prior paranormal research. im also a medium a psychic a sensitive and an empath. i have had ghosts in my home 8 of them to be exact. and i seriously have witnessed the paranormal an i know its real. an y would 2 ppl ruin their credibility for all these years of doing this. doesnt make sense. im starting my own paranormal team an once my team succeeds im putting in my application for my team to be a taps family team member. mb u guys should go to one of thir events an see if they r fake or not. which in all cases they rnt.
Really? A psychic, a medium, a sensitive, AND an empath. My goodness, but you have a full plate, don’t you?
From which mediumship research team did you receive testing and certification? I mean, with all this ability, you surely must have been tested in a lab setting, right?
Do your eight ghosts have names?
And you are SO right when you ask, “Why would anyone with a television show want to exaggerate or even fake their evidence to maintain their ratings?” Certainly no television producer would suggest that of the people that are getting paid to have the show. What a preposterous thought, huh?
And, by “go to one of their events,” are you referring to those ghost conventions that cost $150 to attend, plus another $20 if you want a signed photo of Jason and Grant? You’re right, again, Carrie…I can see how standing in line to pose for a photo would be an excellent way for them to showcase their paranormal prowess.
Thank you for your valuable insight and enlightened viewpoint.
Sorry but I have stopped coming to most of these websites. GH and GHI well I just don’t waste my time. I enjoy shows like Hell’s Kitchen, CSI, NCIS, and many which are just TV shows nothing more.
I see on SciFake they are trying to get the law to go after Taps and some guy named Brent to pay back all the money they took from Tapscon2009 which never happened. If people allow themselves to be ripped off like that, well then why help. I was reading and I am amazed that people still watch these shows. They are fake and just a TV show for profit nothing more. Now some of them are going to have books out. Wow, I should go ahead and write a book on something I was never trained in. Sorry this is why most of the world wonders about the USA. Sorry it’s been awhile and I had to do some venting.
Venting is therapeutic. Although, I wouldn’t stop coming to the WEBSITE because I dislike TAPS…there are LOTS of other funny things here to amuse you.
What cracks me up is that we still get the occasional “Hey, you guys are mean and should SHUT UP!” posts on this thread. Those posts are like gnats.
*buzzzzzz* SMACK!!!!!
I look at all the other websites that are out there that toss Taps/GH and GHI under the bus. You know what I have come to the point that if someone wants to watch the show, then go for it. If they want to spend money on things like Tapscon2009 and let themselves get ripped off. Well while I feel bad for them, if you don’t do anything about it. Don’t act like a little kid crying unless you step up to the plate and fix it yourselves.
It’s a TV show and a really bad one. Instead of eating that jelly doughnut go ahead and change the channel. The show will be gone and a new show that people will not like will take its place. They are actors and yes they do fake everything. That is what actors do. Now all this bitching is starting to get very old real quick. No one cares. I worry about healthcare, Jobs and will I be able to pay my bills. I could care less about a bunch of losers who say they see ghosts.
Just my 3 cents today, I spilled my coffee when I got out of the car in Boston. For everyone who is going to toss me under the bus. I have one thing to say –“Bite Me”. I could care less.
Katie couldn’t get more up her own ass even if Grant rammed that lighthouse up it huh?
You all invent “ghosts” to liven up your dull lives, just like I invent a fresh girlfriend every night cos I can’t get a real one….
Paranormal, hehe…….
OMG, THAT’S HILARIOUS!
Wow, you really got me with THAT one, I tell ya.
I am not surprised to hear that you don’t have a girlfriend.

*buzzzzzz* SMACK!!!!!
I happen to think LADY Katie ***ROCKS***
*curtsies* Why, THANK YOU!
Hey! All these boys, and Tango, are real men taunting ghosts and promoting Roto-Rooter. What is there not to be amused by? You all are part of the marketing machine known as paranormal “shit”. Shhhh! Did you hear that? My eBay purchased flickering Bucky Beaver ghost indicator light saber just went dead. Holy shit. That must have been a big f’n ghost thingie! Sapping all the energy as if to start a new world war in Guatemala. If it’s true that if you believe in paranormal activity then you may be the target of a future TAPS episode? Then hurry up and kill yourself! They are running out of ideas and the whole thing is going to wither up and become, well, Katie what do you call it when your dildo runs out of juice? Limp technology?
Well, PGAL, as evidenced by the fact that you keep posting useless bullshit, some dildos NEVER run out of juice.
OK, who let the kids on the computer.
Just watched a new episode of TAPS and then felt compelled to Google search the words “when did ghost hunters sell out” and this is where I landed. I have definitely noticed a difference between their 1st and 2nd seasons and all of the other seasons. The episode I just attempted to watch was so obviously fake. Has anyone else noticed how (clear) the EVPs have gotten. Now, when I am able to hear the voice and one of the TAPS girls pretends not to hear it or that it wasn’t that obvious. LOL. And the voice said “I need help” or something like that. Then TAPS girl #1 says, “There is something here, but it is not trying to hurt them, it needs their help..”
Then, the closet started growling and that is all I could take.
Wow, so done with that show. I would love to see some real evidence of the paranormal. But, sadly I’m starting to believe it is all a trick of the mind.
It’s infuriating, isn’t it? I watched it, too. What a load of shit. I think I need to update my fury with a brand new rant…
New season, Taps investigated the LaDouceur House located in my neck of the woods, Blackstone Mass.
It didn’t take long for our Ghost Hunters to use my favorite Gizmo the K11 meter. And I must say the results were more remarkable then the audience could have expected, an alleged spirit claimed it was being held against its will by a non-human entity. Jason was asking all the right questions and the Gizmo was responding blinking frantically And with good reason The blinking Gizmo provides enough information to give Jay&Grant a theory as to what is really happening. They determine a non-human entity was pretending to be a ghost.
I think we can all agree a ghost is an unproven theory. But we do have an un-proven theory if we believe in the existence of ghosts. I have no problem with any belief. Any person can believe what they want. “But” once it carries the assumption that the premise is true then in all fairness it should be consistent with known facts about reality. There is nothing wrong in believing things because you like the idea. It only becomes illogically wrong if the belief actually contradicts some other known fact. If I was to believe anything I see on Ghost Hunters I would have to suspend all logic and common sense.
After many seasons Taps has not provided anything that resembles anything out side what we know, or can’t explain. They use theories that have no theory to explain the theory. The theories have no meaning in the scientific world. Using language that has no meaning is Jargon.
At first, I couldn’t tell which side you were on, FT…but clearly you see reason. I noticed that when they were using the K2 meter, they had it awkwardly perched on the what appeared to be some sort of conduit box on the water heater. Why not the floor? Probably because the floor doesn’t have some sort of “on/off” switch providing the necessary electrical current to make the K2 respond.
So fake. SO SO fake.
WOW!.. lots of pros and cons here. I like watching TAPS for what it is.
I will say this, I remember an episode where the K2 starting blinking when I think grant had asked a question. They were excited! Since I have a DVR, i went back a few seconds to re-watch it and lo and behold I heard that familiar cell phone noise- the one you get with someone texts message you.
What surprised me was that Jay & Grant did not acknowledge it. They went about there business- strange. I dont know how they could have missed the cell phone and everyone investigator knows that that meters will go off with a cell phone at close range.
As an investigator, we have a NO CELL PHONE policy during investigations for that reason.
I still can’t believe people watch these shows. All of it is fake, plain and simple. I noticed that they are writing books and putting up new websites. None of them have any formal training. I know some of the people on both shows. If they didn’t have this job they would be flipping burgers. (Sorry two words come to mind W%$%^% T*&*) One of them states on his profile that he saw a ghost in his home. Nope it was rats because they lived in a bad area. It’s all hype nothing more. Yes I used to watch the show when it first started and yes was a fan. Until I noticed something-You never see anything. Then when they hired certain people I knew it was all fake. So everyone who enjoy watching the show, killing brain cells. They are laughing all the way to the bank, stop watching the show. There must be better things to do on a Wed night. Hey I know! Do what they do, write books that are nothing but lies.
Just my 4 cents –Sorry tough economy and I am on a train sitting next to a women who took a bath in Perfume
I’m watching an episode right now and it was quite believable until covers on a bed moved upwards. It was so obviously on a string of some kind as the movement was symmetrical. I used to really like this show but not now, another scam
Does anyone know if any of the staff, (perhaps former), has come foreward admitting tampering?
Funny how you said they’re full of shit & sure enough they prove it in the bathroom:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YztAc1lC8g
As an investigator myself, I’d hate to think that T.A.P.S. out and out fakes evidence for their television show and/or are dumb enough to have the production crew pull the wool over their eyes. I have certainly seen them make some mistakes, and present questionable evidence that may or may not have been exaggerated and possibly manufactured. Of course I do realize that it is a television show produced for entertainment value and generally take it as such.
When you mix in advertising dollars many things are labeled as ‘authentic’ or ‘all natural’ simply because it sells and Ghosthunters may fall in this same category.
You could say that the increased attention to the paranormal–and by defunct, ghosts–has been a boon to all us amateur investigators out there, but, I am beginning to suspect that they have caused more damage then good.
A simple search of the Web finds thousands of pages from amateur ghost hunters presenting evidence that are easily debunked as simple environmental phenomena, camera artifacts, and reflect a combination of an almost desperate need to believe in ghosts combined with an extreme ignorance in the use of a simple camera combined with a real lack of debunking. A real bad trait of these folks is that they are resistant to engaging in real discussion about the subject, and will resort to outrageous theories to justify a bug, reflection, or other non-paranormal ‘anomaly’ they’ve captured.
Ghost hunters completed filming at a location–The Amos J. Blake House Museum–in Fitzwilliam, NH in July at a location that I’ve investigated on multiple occasions. I feel one group in particular–headed by the museums curator–significantly exaggerated evidence (at the very least) coming out of the museum in an effort to get TAPS attention, and it apparently worked.
http://thebeyond.info/articles/2009/07/18/taps-visits-amos-j-blake-museum/
The episode is said to be airing in October, however I don’t believe it’s been scheduled yet.
I for one will be watching this episode closely to see if Ghost Hunters results from the investigation coincide with what I know to be true about the location, and doesn’t reflect some exaggerated account of many conscious spirits haunting the location who reliably communicate with people, multiple apparitions seen quite frequently, and objects moving with a frequency that recalls the movie Poltergeist.
Still, Ghost Hunters is a TV show, and though reality television, is not a documentary…thus, its entertainment. One thing that I can’t fault Jason and Grant for is taking advantage of their success to make an enjoyable hobby a business.
ok, who saw South Park ? That was great !
SOUTH PARK WAS A RIOT! Oh no! there’s something running down my leg!!! Get it on tape! Quick – Oh no! It’s the TV! The TV is on!!! – LOL – too much stuff that is a riot
ok listen i know it was funny and stupid people like u think that there making fun of them but i know for a fact there not. the new season of gh is on the 25 th of augst my birthday! hell yeah!
Thought I’d drop this by, Ghost Hunters got ripped on last nights episode of South Park for any fans out there. Pretty damn funny episode.
anyone who believes in ghosts are dumbasses. I’m sorry but there is always a logical explanation for everything. I like how these paranormal investigators made up thier own science to try to find ghosts; and they only give a vague explanation on how it works that anyone who is gullible enough will believe. Props to the people that act and produce it because they are making loads of money becuase people are dumb enough to buy it.
@kolvac first of all I AM THE LEADER OF SEVERAL DUMBASSES as you so eloquently phrase your prose, which would make you a douchebag ass – because HA! THERE really are such people as GHOSTS – formerly known as THE DEAD. Hello earth to douchbag!? Hello can you hear me now?
So here’s the scoop – all reality tv shows have a format. That’s F-O-R-M-A-T which is a guideline (a map if you will) for the show and their formats are always SCRIPTED and STAGED. That’s what makes them so freaking rotten to watch.
Capishie?
fuck u asshole!
kolvec… no, just no.
Anyone who believes in ghosts is a dumbass? Really?
I always want to take people that are vehemently against ghosts, and stick them in some creepy-ass haunted place over night and see how they do — since they don’t exist and all
amen
Yeah you know – the dead don’t exist on this plane – but I’d love to see Kovec in a haunted house? How long would he take before starting to scream for his mommy?
I always want to take people that are vehemently against ghosts, and stick them in some creepy-ass haunted place over night and see how they do — since they don’t exist and all
This is my favorite answer to the question. I volunteer; I’m very serious this is on my wish list. Tie me up hog tie me, lock the doors. I don’t believe in any paranormal claim. I don’t believe in haunted locations. I don’t believe in ghosts, therefore no ghostly apparition or activity will occur. Because I’m a non-believer.
Paul,
What state do you live in? It should become this thread’s purpose to find a place for you to check into for a night and you come back and tell us about it!
And if you die, your ghost has to come back and tell us about it… either way you’d be on the hook
Kolvec….What in the hell do you know about the paranormal???
That gives you the right to call someone else a dumbass?
Shure groups like [TAPS] are just a bunch of vultures getting rich off of their ignorant fans ….
But there are pleanty of serious ..[real].. paranormal investigators out there who are being honest and trying hard to understand the paranormal…
Some of these investigators had an attitude just like yours ..untill they
experianced something first hand then they changed their tune….
You need to spend a night alone at Waverly TB Hospital in KY…
You should understand what your talking about ..before you open your mouth….!
This show upsets me to no end. I’ve seen many of these paranormal ghost hunting shoes…and most are pretty ridiculous, but this one takes the cake! I’ve seen probably a dozen episodes, hoping that they arn’t as full of shit as they seem. They are. Their reported findings are always camera flickers or stuff we can’t even see. (you’d expect a tv show to at least outline or highlight the areas we’re supposed to be looking at. They don’t. Every time they hear a sound, it’s covered up by a cheesy sound cue. I started laughing when they “mysteriously were reading electrical fields somewhere near this electrical outlet”.
F**king Brutal
It would be different of course if they actually did show you all of their footage but they don’t and shows like MOST HAUNTED show nothing of footage they took or sounds they picked up. So if they don’t show it – it doesn’t exist. Anyway it’s all staged and not the real deal.
I couldn’t agree less or more. I am unsure. A great shoe fer shure. Kate is who? Who is Kate? Ghosts are really cool. Coolly acting abhorritions (whore wishins) dancing amongst the dust particles and AC outlets letting flatulence pop everywhere. Grant is really a cheerleader for the New York Turdmonkeys. People fom Jersey suck ass. Losers from New York suck Grant’s turdy cockle abhorritions (whore wishins). Dang, I just wrote an episode. Best ever no less, no more, I am unsure.
hay assholes why dont u shit out a brain and think for once all u non beilvers and ever since my last comment its out of no where gone and so is katie! all u bitches including katie are pussy and non beileving assholes grant steve jay tango and kris are the real deal and there awesome!
Just trying to determine what the T.A.P.S. crew is paid per episode.
It must be good because the wives are upset but NOT leaving.
I don’t know how, but ghost hunting seems to have made Chris Williams tits grow considerably. I’d sure like to meet up with her in one of those dark rooms.
I was so pissed off with this live Halloween episode. I use to think that Jason and Grant were the real thing until this years episode. They have become way to preachy and think they have written the bible on Ghost Hunting. There are way to many people that have been doing this before them!!! Just because they have a show on SyFy they think they are the end all and be all of Ghost Hunting. They are so important now that they can’t even do a live show on Halloween and think there Spalding Inn bed and Breakfast that they bought is going to bring in their fans. I hope they have a good ghost actor to haunt the place since they set it up that way to have GHI to come in and investigate the place. They have turned into a Jon and Kate plus eight!!!!! Moral High ground!!! Money speaks louder than words!!! Fakers!!!!
gee ,calm down.if u think they r so fake why watch.
Ghost Hunters–the popular television show–is airing an episode “New Hampshire Gothic” on November 11 that features their controversial visit to the Amos J. Blake House Museum in Fitzwilliam, NH.
My team has intimate knowledge of this location and will be watching the episode closely.
Here’s a link to an article that discusses the controversy caused by their visit.
http://sightsunseenparanormal.blogspot.com/2009/09/taps-visits-amos-j-blake-house-museum.html
And for the record, I personally do not believe in ghosts–though I still have an open mind. I generally think paranormal activity has more to do with geological phenomena, multiple dimensions, and time bleeds, though I have as much evidence for these theories as their is for ghosts so I guess I’m a different sort of crack-pot.
Still, you won’t see our group calling every little bump in the night or camera artifact a ghost.
Hi all, first time “poster” here. Respect your ongoing debate immensely.
I have been a fan of the show and have done private investigations at Fort Mifflin, Eastern State Penn, private homes, etc. for about 2 years now. I feel I have a solid understanding of tech equipment and general investigating practices.
My wife and I have thought about doing a TAPS event to see how REAL it gets in the field with their investigations. The opportunity just presented itself the other day…
Well, my wife and I just booked Eastern State Penn on April 10th with TAPS to do a 5 hour investigation. I am bringing all of my gear and look forward to hopefully getting into some areas that are usually sealed off from the public.
I am hoping get a better understanding of how they approach an investigation by doing this. I feel it is hard to get a firm sense of their approach watching them on a TV show. Are they real investigators? I am hoping to have that answer in April.
As far as the show is concerned, I take everything with a grain of salt. Was I there to witness it? No. Do I trust the TAPS team to bring me through a truthful investigation on the show? No, I don’t. I take it for what it is… just a TV show.
Good hunting everyone!
Come on people! We should be over this shit by now, boogie men, religion and ufos… Really, this is how far we have come…
Welcome to the fray, GutterPOP.
I gotta tell ya, that was a very compelling remark. I am going to rethink my entire belief system.
So, nothing good on DirectTV, tonight, then?
Katie,
I’m so glad my comment touched you so deeply. I have that effect on people, sometimes I feel as if I know what’s going to happen in the future before it actually happens. I just get these images in bits and pieces. In a flash if you will. I first realized I had this power when I went on a hunting expedition with Father as child in the Swiss Alps. It was there when I had my first encounter with a Sasquatch. I snared him (the Sasquatch) in a trap that my father and I had crafted from goat sinew and indigenous tree sap. To my surprise this ape like creature spoke to me and told me if I were to release him back into the wild that he would grant me special powers. Being a boy of 7 years old, I took him up on this offer. My father disapproved of my decision because as a child he had been so tricked by a unicorn. Anywho, long story short, Kevin the Sasquatch as I fondly refer to him, lay his ape like hand upon my forehead. I saw a flash of light and all of these images were flashing by me and twisting about kinda like the scenes from the Butterfly Effect when Ashton is about to manipulate time and space with nothing more than his mind. The one thing I remember him telling me… And I didn’t understand it at the time, it’s kinda funny… He told me that one day I will meet someone by the name of “Kauty” and I will have a profound effect on her life… I will guide her in the right direction away from the lies of boogie men, religion and ufos… I was like, “Kauty when will I ever meet a girl named Kauty.” Now I understand. You see, Kevin was a Swiss Sasquatch, a Yeti if you will. Adjusting for the Germanic dialect, Kauty sounds a lot like Katie. It’s fascinating how the world works. We finally meet!
So what’s this DirectTV thing all about? It sounds fascinating! Do they direct the television signals directly into you mind?! Tell me more!
lol, Gutter that was an excellent story of enlightenment… very kind of the Swiss Yeti
What people still watch these shows? I stopped watching after seeing the first season. Complete waste of time. Now it seems everyone wants to be on a ghost hunting show. Now it seems everyone is a ghost hunting expert.
They said they had over 2 million people watch the first episode for the season. 2 million is not a lot and besides NCIS which was a repeat beat them by 3.3 million. Let them have their fun and money, for in time the show will end. I would rather watch Holmes on Holmes on HGTV or Castle.
How do you know these shows aren’t really watching us… You have just been mind freaked!
Alright, first time on the sight, and I admit I agree with a few of the POV’s expressed above. However, I absolutely cannot refrain from mentioning how I noticed that quite a few of you are often daily and quite obsessively leaving your opinions about how the show is bullshit, and yet you SO obviously are continuing to watch the show, so you can come back on here later that night, or the next day and bitch about it being bullshit some more! That Is So Hilarious! – O.K. so you want real evidence…it’s evident that without this stupid show, sadly, you’d be watching some other stupid “reality” show and come on here blabbing about how fake that one is with your seudo-cyber-friends, so you can have some semblance that all of your collective wisdom is pursuading the world that “truth trumps ratings”!…..oh wait, what was I thinking…..it’s been done…it just came out…it’s called “Destination Truth”….If you truly feel that it’s such bullshit, quit watching the freakin show(s)pick up a book/newspaper, maybe get a hobby and get on with your life. – Yes, this means you too Katie!
couldnt have said it better myself
I will fabricate unflinching and bookmark this page-boy, I intent come back to observe you more.
You know, when I first posted this rant, I never expected to get 359 responses. I thank you all for reading it, and for enjoying it, or even for HATING it, either way – it was compelling. I have to admit, as I mentioned in the update to this rant, that my opinions are changing with the times, and when I read the amount of RAGE I put into this article, I can say with perfect clarity that there was a fair amount of “sour grapes” on my part. For what it’s worth, I don’t hate these guys, and I don’t fault them for cashing in on their popularity. I was just feeling VERY frustrated when I wrote it. Of course I still think much of it is staged, but it doesn’t piss me off like it once did. It simply is what it is.
You guys seriously need a life these guys work their butts off 4 u guyz and still earn billions of dollarz so you guyz are making fools of urselves
“Jay and Grant,”
Nothing irritates me more than someone who can’t spell and has no concept of grammar. I say “checkmate” to your statement that we are fools.
I am not 12, and this is not a text message.
Any point you may have been trying to make is lost in its deliverly.
Come back when you have learned to communicate properly.
Good day.
and yes, I meant “deliverly.”
You guys are earning “billions of dollars” ghost-hunting, not too shabby!
Not bloody likely – they make a salary but they were able to buy the hotel with hopes of making more money off their silly fans.
The fact that people claim there hunting ghosts is all the proof you need.
hey guys. I beleive in ghosts and wasnt sure whether these guys were legit till i read up on them a bit. Fact is whether or not they are i still enjoy the show, i just take it with a grain of salt and resent comments like” ppl who watch this are stupid” lol. Even if they were the biggest frauds on the planet it still fires up my imagination and its good fun =}
Yup – Love the show… Cannot knock good entertainment. Whatever blips your K2! =)
I feel really sorry for you Katie… Must be touch indeed when the batteries drain on the vibro and the backup wanes for some unexplained reason too – surely cannot be haunted, can it? Lol Always got other means of shaking your tub though so cannot be all that bad.
Amazing to hear so many slamming the Fakiness of the show… hell, whats richest about that whole deal is that most of you doing so are Americans… Thats even more entertainment value right there than either GHI or TAPS: The land of Tuck and the Home of the Silicone… Indeed made in The good Ole…
What I like about this show too is that we even have soom goofy and overweight chicks on it – Not to mention the Homer J lookalike and his Barney Gumble sidekick who present the deal. None opf that Platinim Pamela A sterotypical Buillshit for once and some folk who can act way better that other ‘plastic heroes such as Jooleahhh Groburts’ and Tom Clooze!!! Neither of which can act their way out of a Popcorn Bag.
Happily married etc and when I eventually pass on and come back may I come visit you in the either one night and say “boo” to you???? I promise not to drain your duracells…
I cant believe I just wasted that much time reading Your BS! Thanks!
i cant tell are u for or against cause im for gh are are u or what
listen ok i found my thing you made about me and i obviously need to clear out what i was talking about that day and what i forgot to say. i was so pissed off that i typed down any word that came to my head! do you know how bad that hurt to see all those comments
about me and my spelling. i didnt spell right cause i was in a hurry and how pissed i was. when i sall those i got dizzy as fuck.
i am still one of the biggest fans of gh and the rest of them youll find iam not going to change my opinion just because all these people think your god. i will say that there was more than one reason i was so pissed off. i am a outkast with the rest of my friends so we all get made fon of any ways so when iam already pissed and i get home and read all these comments on the realist ghost hunting shows that are on tv that i am a huge fan of i when crazy! I nkow there real because a long time ago before the show started they investagated my house! ghosthunters is an awesome show so fuck all you people who talk shit on me or ghost hunters and answer me right fucking now!
when i say an outkast dont get me wrong ive been in collage for about four years
i meant i went crazy and when i said youll find imeant to put a period
anyways why the fuck would you try to fucking band me i probally spelled that wrong anyways. from the site just because of a comment!
oh and when i was talking about i know there real i meant to say i know there real
Okay, let’s talk to each other like grown-ups. Gillian, I am not a fan of Ghost Hunters, because I have more than one legitimate reason to believe that they make up evidence for the sake of ratings. Do I think that makes them bad people? No. I just think they need to disclose if something is recreated for the sake of the viewers. They have absolutely sold out for money, but, again, that does not make them bad people. They have children to feed.
I am not sure why you feel compelled to come into this post and spew nothing but obscenities. You haven’t even read the entire post, because by your own admission you don’t know what side I am on.
Now that you have read the post I created using ONLY your comments, you get a taste of what your behavior feels like. You ought to feel proud, I’ve never done that before. Now, if you continue, I will continue to ban you. If you can leave out the insults and swearing, you may feel free to post and comment, as you are entitled to your opinion and you may convey it here as long as it is without insult or profanity.
The choice is yours.
the new season of gh is on the 25th of aug which is my birthday hecks to the yeah
I think it would be somewhat easier to like the show if Jason wasn’t such a PHENOMENAL asshole!!! Grant seems like a really great guy as do Steve and Tango. But, Grant…I’m surprised any of the cast has stayed around as long as they have. That guy has got to be one major prick to be around! Couldn’t stand him from the very first time I saw the show.
