Waiting to watch Zak and team hit their first site ever again!

Will be watching Ghost Adventures to see how Zak, Aaron and Nick make it through the night at the only place they bailed out of during an all night investigation...at the Old Washoe Club and then the Chollar Mine.  My Mom and I watch these a day late so we can have some time to watch our favorite shows together.  Although I am banned from pointing out things I think are fishy or how Steve Gonsalves is a bully in my opinion on Ghost Hunters or any show.  I imagine it can get annoying, but I do hate people being hypocrites or try to pull the wool over people's eyes in order to make some money.

  I'm dirt poor, but I wouldn't profess to be a medium or invent things just to get cash on tv at the expense of others.  I know, I know, you are saying, yeah, but you would if you got the chance and were shown the money "Show me the Money!"...BUT no...  I couldn't do it, I wouldn't be able to sleep at night telling people their loved ones who had passed are speaking through my "spirit guide" and do cold readings while guessing the most obvious things or putting things out there that happen to anyone..."does anyone have a mother who left them as a child? Then passed without talking?  There's bound to be someone out in the audience who had this happen...then you have your target..."She would like to ask for your forgiveness"  sure, play on their feelings...  It makes me sick to see these people do it, and then see guys like Montel Williams fall for their scheme and give them airtime. 

 As P.T. Barnum said, "There's a sucker born every minute."  I hate to put it in that term, I feel bad for the people who are taken in by professed psychics, especially ones who would put kids in terror, just to try and get another paranormal television show going, with him "guiding" these kids to the next level, or whatever.  When I see kids all under the age of 10, terrified and this guy trying to get a show off their terror, it makes me mad.  As far as I know, this show was not renewed, and I hope it stays that way.

 Anyway, here's to watching Ghost Adventures, myself, with a grain of salt and hefty skepticism, but that doesn't mean I can't enjoy it like I enjoy Ghost Whisperer...although "Love" Hewitt is much better on the eyes.  Sorry, I do see those women out there admiring Zak in his T-Shirts...who cares about the show? lol, it's all in good fun.  Hopefully, I will be able to comment on the revisit to the Old Washoe Club, looks interesting!  Will they bail again, will a brick fly? Some already know...not me :)

Sorry for lean times

 I know, I know, I need to post more often... But when you are trying to manage more than one blog and get tired easily, it can get tough at times.

 I've found the latest show, Ghost Hunters Academy, nothing more than a rehash of visiting sites that they have investigated before...now going to the Buffalo Main Train station, not sure it's official title without peeking and I would have to turn the monitor back into my TV....the downside of having an HDTV double as your monitor.  But going to these same spots while doing nothing more than beating the enthusiam out of these kids is kind of sad if you ask me.  Some don't like the "medium", I don't really believe in mediums myself, although I do love the Television Show with Patricia Arquette!  But then I love Ghost Whisperer too, so sue me..lol.  But back to "Academy"  These poor kids, who want to learn how to "Properly" ghost hunt, as if Jay and Grant's word on Ghost Hunting is the Bible, do NOT deviate outside the party lines or get punished...just makes me NOT like this show.  I don't believe it will get picked up as a new franchise, at least I hope not.  When early on in Ghost Hunters, it was absolutely verboten to investigate by themselves, Steve and Tango send these "students" out on their own all the time.  Makes no sense whatsoever.

 They also bring in their preconcieved notions about other people..ie. the "medium" although I  don't believe, I WOULD give her a chance, with no hidden prejudice against her, who knows, she may make me a believer!  But she's gone now, who would have guessed that....first night, send her out alone, making snarky remarks about her beliefs.  Now if it was the official rule NEVER to investigate alone, and in the very first Eastern State penitentiary episode, they get all over this guy for doing it, yet, when Brian and the Camera man get spooked in the "DUDE, RUN" controversy, no one said anything about them staying together, if the cameraman ran, was Brian supposed to stay with him? Or was he supposed to keep on investigating, leaving that guy to his own devices?  Yet Steve throws this girl into the scariest part of the Ft. Mifflin area, the dungeons that were found, alone!  She doesn't investigate to their standards and wonder why....

 The same thing happens with the new girl, heck, they make her cry on the show, "Crying? There's No Crying in Ghost Hunting!" except when you are a sound man who gets hit with his own bag...OR you are trying to get on a jet to go investigate overseas.  Do they realize what hypocrites they are being? Meh, Probably.  Now as I had suggested on forum chat, why don't they use animals?  Now all of a sudden, we have a new show on Animal Planet regarding animals and the paranormal....

 We now have a former member of Ghost Hunters come out and talk about the show pretty candidly, but when called to task, she tries to blame the interviewers for what she said?  On another show, during a live halloween broadcast, we actually have a guy throw an emf detector and not realize he was caught dead to rights?  So much so, that people who are watching the show all text in or e-mail in, hey! That dude threw the darn thing!  And poor Zak and company were so excited about Sparky, the Parabot.  Where was that ghost he promised to catch, anyway?  This section isn't going my way...I better try a diversion..whoops, where did that camera come from?  Then Zak and Aaron in the recap show, have to  show all these highlights of the show, where I've heard they hunted on the wrong floor for Lily...the random radio word reciever...(local cb or ham operators having a blast...lol) (I really don't know how the thing works, but does it get ghost voices? I doubt it.)  Yeah, I'm pretty cynical at this point, after years of watching Ghost Hunters (Mainly the skinny guy with hair) trying to fool the average person..and to my surprise, the average person, is kind of gullible!  They have a cult following now to the point where they don't even have to defend their actions, they let their minions do it for them.  Just stay away from the grape kool-aid you guys...

 Ah well, I've lost my head of steam...I'm tired of going from forum to forum that advocate these guys and point things out, like the lamp cord at Myrtle Plantation, in the "slave shack" built in the 60's...1960's...lol.  I just hope they have trouble sleeping at night knowing what they are doing to people who want to believe so badly, that they save places at the table in case the guys show up.  I may get negative comments, but with only 300 hits so far, I doubt it...I can ramble all I want and not worry about how many "fans" crawl out of the woodwork to tell lil ol me to shaddup. :)
