of Ghost Hunters tend to believe more in the shreds of evidence because of the fact that the ghost hunters do their best to rule out every other explanation before defining an experience as paranormal. They keep a small fraction of what they find for evidence and are honest when they find nothing. You might ask how they manage to find everything that they do and what the chances are that something is going to happen on the one night that they visit the site. The T.A.P.S. team only visits sites that are said to be haunted on a regular basis so this raises their chances of catching some footage. Many comments online from fans of Ghost Hunters centered on the idea that people who dont believe should prove that its fake.
Im a huge horror fan and love shows about the paranormal like Ghost Hunters and the show that ran for only one year, Ghost Stories.
Hollowhill.com (ghost hunting website) seems to believe that much of what is on Ghost Hunters is true. Many people wrote in to the site to ask the ghost hunters what they think. They claim that the reason we dont see Jason or Grant get too scared when something ghostly occurs is not because what theyre experiencing is fake. Apparently, ghost hunters get better at what they do after they have more experience and after seeing different types of paranormal activity, they get used to it and are therefore less startled. We wonder why they dont scream when something is pulling their shirt but this could be the reason.
Plenty of people watch shows like Ghost Hunters for entertainments sake but dont believe most of what they watch. There are claims that the show could consist of smoke and mirrors along with a few fishing wires. Other ghost hunters usually study a location for more than one night and will often visit for a week or more to gain footage if theyre lucky so this adds to skepticism. Those who take ghost hunting very seriously may feel it is unfair for the homeowners or building owners to have this study done for just one night. This could tarnish their reputation if Ghost Hunters does not find any credible evidence.
I enjoy Ghost Hunters because I like the topic and the possibilities are interesting but I dont feed into everything I see. I would be more inclined to believe the show if it were broadcast on the Discovery channel. Its surprising to learn how sensitive some folks are about whether or not the SyFy channel is pulling the wool over our eyes. Lie to me; I dont mind- as long as its entertaining!
