Ghost Adventures
Within the past five years or so there seems to be a surge in popularity for the paranormal. Both in semi reality programming IE. Ghost Hunters, Ghost Adventures, Most Haunted etc. As well with shows like "Fringe"and the recently departed "Pushing Daisies" the popularity can be seen with these serially produced shows. I myself have never seen a ghost but am intrigued by the possibility of there existence. I find the feeling of being scared, the rush of adrenaline and excitement, whether provoked by actual events or make believe on the TV to be exhilarating. Ghost Adventures in particular is a show that I enjoy every minute of. It seems however in their third season that they are starting to run out of ideas, or evidence, and have had to elaborate the truth a little. The half or partial possessions I feel bring the quality of their program down. They spend so much time trying to explain to the viewer how scientific their devices are it just seems a step in the wrong direction. Other than the possessions I still will watch every episode and can't wait to see what else they are able to catch on film be it audio or images. Those of you out there reading, any likes or dislikes about the show?

I can't say I have seen this show, but I have seen other ghost shows around Halloween. I think I believe in paranormal activity, because my Nana lives in a 1700 colonial house that is really creepy. My aunt is all into ghosts so she highered a memdium to come over and talk to the spirits. My mom was at the house when this happened and swears on her life that it was not fake. The medium impersonated my dead grandfather and had the exact same voice as him. I still to this day won't venture though the house alone and get really nervous when I am in dim lit places. I know I'm a huge chicken, but what if they spirits are bad? The shows on TV today are kind of more modernized trying to explain a scientific explaination for it all. Some shows such as Ghost Hunters have come to places in New England such as George's Island in Boston Harbor and Plymouth State University in NH. The stories on TV are really fun to watch because you get to hear the history and know that you've been to the place.
