I enjoy watching shows about ghost hunting and will watch any show at least once. These shows are about entertainment but either the teams are forced to state ridiculous things are proof of ghosts, or they're just ready to accept anything as proof. My comments are regarding the episode about Vlad the Impaler.
This show it so silly I'm not sure where to start. Each team member is designated with a title - Point Man, Tech Guru, Brain, Role Player, and Antagonizer. The only female on the team is designated the Role Player, which seemed really sexist until I watched her in action. You can't take her seriously because she screams every single time something happens.
Then there's the Tech Guru, who comes up with essentially a tray (for the equipment) with ropes attached to lower it down into a 100 foot well to see if there's anything going on down there (which apparently there wasn't since it wasn't mentioned again). Seriously, do you really need a tech guy for that? There's nothing technical about it.
And the Antagonizer? The guy is screaming at nothing, trying to get a reaction from Vlad. Yes, I'm sure that Vlad, a man who killed perhaps 100,000 people, is going to be intimidated by some frat boy screaming at him. Also Vlad, his wife and victims did not speak English, so how did they learn it after they die? If he were still around, he would not understand anything the Antagonizer was screaming.
And how do they not know that Vlad had a wife named Ilona? Do they not do any research or even look up the castle/Vlad on the internet? Yet as soon as they know her name, they are able to locate and investigate her room?
They need to have some skepticism about any so called evidence that they find. This is an old castle made of stone. Yet every noise is proof of Vlad (or someone) haunting the place, and elicits a scream from the Role Player girl. Yeah, it must be supernatural because pieces of stone in a centuries old castle couldn't crumble or fall. And birds couldn't possibly fly into a window. And you'd hear something if it fell to the ground (even though the windows are closed and you're several hundred feet off the ground).
I really hope they didn't write their own intro which states their "... mission is to solve the world's most enduring crimes and mysteries," and that when something happens "...this rapid response team moves in." Really? Please tell me they don't really believe they are solving centuries old crimes and mysteries, or that their scheduled visits are a rapid response.
I may watch this again for the unintentional comedy, but not for any valid ghost hunting experiences.
