Re: 'Ghost Hunters' Fifth Season
 

Did you catch the GHI episode where they were in the Philippines at that old Army hospital and caught that EVP where they were asking the ghost if they wanted a cigarette and it said pretty loud, "I'll take one". Fraud? Or real?

Do ya'll think some or most of the EVPs on either of those are fake?

Re: 'Ghost Hunters' Fifth Season
 

The St Augustine lighthouse episode is my favorite episode. Great evidence.

Re: 'Ghost Hunters' Fifth Season
 

in defense of the tactics that GH uses, versus Most Haunted or Ghost Adventures - Most Haunted is very antiquated: seances, mediums... come on that isn't scientific in the slightest. Most Haunted also does things where an investigator goes on a solo video walk through (no camera person), they get spooked because they aren't doing it with another viable witness, they could be manifesting what they think they hear or see by fear alone. Secondly, both shows they freak out so much and so easily, it's funny, but after awhile they just come across as being pussies, jeesh, just stop and cover your eyes and ears, it's not like the entity/voice has a knife or something.

Re: 'Ghost Hunters' Fifth Season
 

I don't believe Jay and Grant to be "frauds". I've been watching the show since '04 and about 70% of the time they don't find any solid evidence. If these 2 guys were actors put in place by Sci-Fi then we'd see all sorts of shit going on in every episode. Every piece of evidence they've found so far appears to be legit.

Now, as far as the '08 Halloween episode goes, I don't blame them for the EVP or jacket incident. I'm pretty sure that was all Sci-Fi channels doing. They're letting these guys occupy 8 hours of their air time so they made sure something was going to happen. But seriously, if these guys were frauds then we would be seeing apparitions on a weekly basis.

Re: 'Ghost Hunters' Fifth Season
 

Definitely one of my favorite episodes. I also enjoyed the Armory and Manson Murder investigation episodes.

Re: 'Ghost Hunters' Fifth Season
 

that's for sure, cause the last couple of episodes have been lacklustre at best.

Re: 'Ghost Hunters' Fifth Season
 

He probably attempted to be a cop but failed the test and became a rent a cop. Ive known cops and he acts and looks more like a meter maid than a cop.

I have no doubt the show bullshits its evidence most times. Naturally they cant do it all the time than you know its bullshit. Once in a while, than the sheep think its 'real'

But I am still watching and damn have the past 2 seasons sucked.

Re: 'Ghost Hunters' Fifth Season
 

I'm still trying to decide how much to put into this show.. or into Paranormal State (which gives off too much of a Blair Witch 2 vibe).

Re: 'Ghost Hunters' Fifth Season
 

finally! ... the third episode [Edith Wharton Estate] was at least creepy... but I'm getting really miffed with the decision to add music, when there should be silence, to actually hear what the investigators are hearing, you could barely hear "the running" down the hallway/stairs incident - the music may add tension, but in terms of letting the audience also share in the experience is utterly ruined.

Re: 'Ghost Hunters' Fifth Season
 

I agree, and sometimes they throw in some sort of sound effects here and there and you're not sure if it's a ghost noise or just a sound effect for the show.

They also need to have better microphones on the cameramen to capture more of the stuff THEY hear that we don't.

Re: 'Ghost Hunters' Fifth Season
 

I am starting to get the feeling that these guys want to move on. I mean, they never explained how the person on the other end of the phone was able to hear the noises. They simply chalked it up to EMF leakage and that is what caused the girl to hear screams. But how did the guy on the other end hear them too?

Its frustrating now since every investigation since the beginning of the new season feels like they just can not wait to get out of there. Then they are adding new tools that seem ridiculous, especially if they are phantom noises. Last week pissed me off too since they dismissed the door opening and closing as wind despite the fact that its physically impossible for wind to do that.

Re: 'Ghost Hunters' Fifth Season
 

and while the cameraman is supposed to omnipresent, the investigator's never engage them if one of them hears something and the other investigator doesn't, you'd think they'd break that 'third wall' and look at the camera person and ask them. I know of only one episode where one of the camera person becomes a focal point of one of the lighthouse investigations and is freaked out so badly he's relunctant in going back in. It's only when one of the 'behind the scenes' episodes gets aired where the camera guys get to finally comment on some of the more bizarre hauntings they've taped.

Re: 'Ghost Hunters' Fifth Season
 

I remember GHI's Rob interacted with the camera man when they heard something spook them. The camera operator can clearly be head saying "You heard the sound then jumped." Which prompted Rob to tell the operator that he did not jump.

They even showed the footage of a door closing on the camera operator for the show once. Steve has also compared their footage to the ones captured by Sci Fi's crew just to make sure its legit.

Re: 'Ghost Hunters' Fifth Season
 

but you're referring to Ghost Hunters International. It's very rare though where the investigator's and the crew do onscreen verbal exchanges on Ghost Hunters (US). I vaguely remember the 'door closing' incident.

Re: 'Ghost Hunters' Fifth Season
 

Is it me, or is Kris William's forehead actually growing week to week?

Re: 'Ghost Hunters' Fifth Season
 

What about that one episode where the camera man was taken down in that old fort?

They made a big deal about that one.

I agree tho...the show is dying a slow death.

I had a storm power outage last night here for 3 hours. Did I miss anything with last night's episode of GH?

Re: 'Ghost Hunters' Fifth Season
 

I think this show has the "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" syndrome. With Ghost Hunters and GHI, there aren't really any breaks (maybe 2 weeks tops) between each season. I skipped most of GHI's latest season and only saw the GH season premiere due to LOST's return. I could watch it online, but I'm not motivated to.

Re: 'Ghost Hunters' Fifth Season
 

Its just you.... that why I mentioned it on the first page :rolleyes:

Re: 'Ghost Hunters' Fifth Season
 

How can it be that in all 2 pages of this thread that it's YOUR post that I decided to skip over? Hmm, that's very troubling.

Re: 'Ghost Hunters' Fifth Season
 

:lol:

So you purposely skipped my post? That is troubling!

Re: 'Ghost Hunters' Fifth Season
 

If that's the one I'm thinking of, it is laughable because it was clear the guy just tripped and fell down.

Re: 'Ghost Hunters' Fifth Season
 

Didn't seem that way to me, or at least what the video presented. That box thing that was hanging around his neck flew up and made him fall backwards.

I also like the Moon River Brewing episode: a shadow figure runs behind a pool table.

And it always bothers me that the investigators never use thermal in every investigation. Maybe then do, but we never see it? I think investigators should always use EVP, thermal, and a proton pack....

Re: 'Ghost Hunters' Fifth Season
 

^The thought of jumpy Steve and Tango wearing unlicensed nuclear accelerators on their backs makes me nervous.

Re: 'Ghost Hunters' Fifth Season
 

Do your research...there's plenty of websites out there that debunk damn near everything they've ever found.

Besides, they have staged shit on the Halloween episode...to me, that puts anything they've done or ever will do in question.

I used to love the show to death - and I still think the St. Augustine's Lighthouse show was legit - but I have a really hard time getting into it or believing anything since the Halloween ep. Actually...I haven't even watched one since then.

Re: 'Ghost Hunters' Fifth Season
 

what happened on last night's episode "Crossing Over"? My DVR didn't record it and there are no repeats of it later in the week/weekend.
