fagins girl Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 (edited) Hi. Did anyone watch that awful ghost hunting programme with Joe Swosh on BBC3 a couple of weeks ago? What was that idiot doing lying in the Edinborough dungeons waiting for a ghost to pop up lol? No real research, protection or meditation, just lying there waiting in fear with a night cam lol. Joe was on the week before interviewing Pamela Anderson. Presumably he did more research for that than he did about the spirit world. xx Edited February 5, 2010 by fagins girl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bewilderbeast Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Haven't seen it... we can't pick up BBC w/out cable here! lol But on the subject... I try try try so hard to like those shows, but they are such a let down. The one I watched here for a while was TAPS, and even though it was mildly entertaining, It's the same old story: Oh, this place is haunted, let's check it out Nothing.... nothing.. nothing AAAAAAAAHHHHHH, scary! That spider was big. Let's review the tapes. Oh there's an orb. We'll in review, we cannot say for sure if this place is haunted. The end. = ( I'd rather watch the unsolved mystery type shows, where even if they don't find the boogie man they were looking for, at least they teach me about the history and location in the process!

LOL! You hit the nail on the head, BC. I get into ghost hunting occasionally, but it doesn't last long, as it's just such so ripe with BS, charlatans, and fools, I lose interest and get back out of it. That said, some people believe in a strictly scientific approach, so "meditation" ( as fagin's girl pointed out) or such is not really considered necessary. There are different beliefs and approaches in ghost hunting. Protection should only be necessary if you are dealing with malicious spirits, but some people would even let themselves be attacked - anything for "proof" or substantial evidence. There are your psychic ghost researchers, then there are your scientific guys, who usually scoff at psychics. What's ironic is, they scoff at psychics while they themselves are looking for ghosts!! Figure that one out. Most of those don't even know the difference between ghost hunting and parapsychology. What's not good is the current crop of ghost hunting shows on TV. They're starting to destroy all credibility in the field, after giving it a temporary boost in interest. . All of them have been found cheating and hoaxing, or at the very least, are extremely suspect- Ghost Hunters, Ghost Adventures (please), Paranormal State (morons), Ghost Lab (yeehaw) and others. They're primarily entertainment, not serious field work.One of the worst I've seen is some BBC show, "Haunted Homes", I believe, where every show is scripted the same, and the psychic lady (Mia, I think her name is) uses her "guardian angel" to cleanse the house, and she's successful every show!! Gee, amazing. She's so phony, you even see the homeowners fighting desperately not to roll their eyes or walk off camera. I don't trust most self-professed celebrity psychics; the genuine ones are usually the ones that don't want to go public about it, or at least, instead of doing hokey TV shows, they help out the police with missing persons cases.

Guest Salem Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Best paranormal show on TV over here I think is most haunted!! Ok sometimes it can be boring and the spirits dont wanna play but at other times it can be good, they do live shows over a few nights & they done 1 a few years ago at pendle hill, the psychic at the time Derek Acorah was flashing a bloody cross at spirits of witches!! lol!! WTF!! then wonders why they attacked him & the rest of the crew that were there!! lol!! I also like watching the US paranormal show Ghost Hunters International altho its no where near as good as most haunted!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
