Ghost Hunting Shows.

Thanks to the Ghost Hunters there is a lot of shows out there on ghost hunting and the paranormal. In fact because of these shows paranormal investigators are getting a chance to go to more haunted sites than before and gather more evidence. With the more evidence being used we start to see patterns and start to develop more technology to compliment our current technology and get stronger evidence. If your wanting to get into ghost hunting the best thing to do is watch these shows. You start to critique their work and you learn from their mistakes.


Ghost Hunters- I consider this show the elementary school of ghost hunting shows. They do have their controversial moments and they also give out a lot of good info. It is very basic and I will admit they are very slow to adopting new technology. I give them credit for using an infrared camera system. This is just one of the tools out there for us to use. Though when they barely have a flashlight off and leave it alone and have ghosts light it off and on it is really reaching. Can ghosts manipulate the flashlight to turn off and on? Yes. Is that going to be solid evidence? No. You are just leaving the circuit barely together. All it takes is a spark to complete it and the light comes on.

Ghost Lab- This is more middle school of ghost hunting shows. They bring more science to the show. They got a lot of cameras, recorders, motion sensors in their inventory. They do a large sweep beforehand checking spots and getting a base read then when the investigation is going on comparing what they get with what the original reading. They also try and do some provocation with their work. The one big complaint I have against this show is that they have a production crew. There was an episode where a camera man was setting up a show and created a disturbance that they thought was paranormal.

Ghost Adventures- This is borderline middle school and high school level of ghost hunting shows. It is one of my personal favorites and with good reason. The premise with these guys is they go to a haunted location and are locked in for the night. Three guys go in and whatever evidence they get they will often play it back on the show there. So not only do you not have to wait until the end of the show. You get it while they get it. They use the current ghost hunting technology and even some experimental. They bring in other ghost hunting professionals to help collect evidence. They also do more aggressive provocation. They also get responses back from that.

Extreme Paranormal- This show only lasted a couple of episodes. Though what the three guys did lived up to the name. This would definitely be more of a high school almost college level ghost hunting. They would incorporate technology and they would use various religious rites. They got awesome evidence but they received a lot of backlash for their show. Too many complaints about how they went about things damaged the show a lot.

Paranormal State- This show isn't primarily a ghost hunting show. They do have some ghost hunting episodes in it but they also tackle other things of the paranormal. There is some episodes about psychics, cryptozoology and dealings with negative entities. It is still an interesting show that gives you more insight into other things around you.

That is what I consider good solid shows for those wanting something to watch on tv or to download and watch later. Even though they are on tv and seem reputable should always take it with a grain of salt. Somethings can be easily manipulated into great evidence to turn a dull episode to good. Always feel free to comment.
