amanda5458 Review of Ghost Hunters

Ghost Hunters (2004– )

Did "Ghost Hunters" start honest and become rigged later?

[7/10 · 16 October 2007]

I watched Ghost Hunters regularly for a year or two with my son. I was fascinated with the debunking and scientific methods used. I really liked the way Jason (?) the leader anyway dealt with conflicts, open and upfront about his thoughts, etc. I wanted to tape one show in particular to show co-workers and subordinates how conflict management should be done. During that time, debunking was the rule and ghosts were scarce. Mostly it would be a voice on a tape or balls moving around. Then, last season, all of a sudden ghosts became plentiful, but never on tape. Jason and his 2nd in command walked into a hallway and came rushing back and carefully told what they saw independent of each other, as though that proved it wasn't a concocted story. I don't know, it just seemed so sudden, as though the show didn't stand on it's feet as it was. Manifestations can turn out to be anything, some an outside investigator wouldn't be able to get at. For example, I thought I had a ghost taking a few steps in my bedroom as I went to sleep. There'd be vibration and sound similar to when my husband came to bed only it'd just be one, two three steps. My heart sometimes goes irregular in rhythm. One night, when I heard the "footsteps", I also felt a familiar tapping inside my back, in time with the "footsteps". Now, I don't hear my "ghost" anymore. :( Amanda
