You know, that show from syfi and its spin offs...what the hell was the appeal for the show? I heard it was very popular and successful, but I find it to be a huge borefest...its just people with a camera occasioanally saying "SOMETHING GRABBED MY SHOULDER! SOMETHING TOUCHED MY LEG!! WOOW ARE YOU FEELING THAT? THE AMBIENT FEELS SO TERRIBLE! WOW DID YOU HEARD THAT? SOMEBODY JUST TALKED TO ME!"

so everything they do, everything, is something that can only be perceived by them, and in the rare occassions where the phenomena "shows" in the camera or mic, it sounds completly made up...

its just so obvious that it was fake...hell at least that discovery channel ghost program (forgot its name) and paranormal instinct (animal planet's ghost program) put interesting stories and put the affected people to actually talk about what happened, its not just some people claiming to be hearing and seeing things no one else has.

how is it possible that the show was successful?

It's hilarious in the sense of how its so fake, yet they still try to pass it off as real. Ever watch southern fried sting? That show takes the cake as far as fake goes.

I thought it was fun and scary, had good atmosphere. But SyFy just showed reruns and more reruns until I was bored sick of it.

I hope to god they arent trying to be serious. "DID YOU HEAR THAT????" You are in a 300 year old house, there will be noises.

exactly. At least with Ghost Hunters, i feel like they rule out all the obvious BS. They also dont get possessed every other episode.

The ratings system is completely inaccurate so i wouldn't pay any attention to it. In the UK if a standard 4 person family went out instead of watching the TV show they regularly watch then 12000 have just decided to go out according to the ratings system.

Or sleeping people, i'm pretty sure the system in the UK just measures the amount of people in the room, not the amount actually watching TV.

Ghost hunters suck. It's not funny at all. Easy and stupid crap that nobody gives a damn no more.
