The Worst of the Ghost Hunting Shows

robin_a-1

This is the worst among all the reality TV ghost hunting shows. First of all it is not scientific in any manner. They do not practice objectivity in investigations. They always come into a place, accepting as fact whatever hearsay of paranormal activity is reported. They come in with their conclusions and just are searching for such experiences. One example is the investigation in Bobby Mackee's place. The leader keeps on speaking of the well as being a portal of hell where demonic spirits use to come in. 1. What is his basis that the well is the portal? 2. What is his basis that, if it is a portal, that it is to hell? 3. What is his basis to say that the spirits are demonic? 4. Even more basic than that, what is his basis to say there are spirits? - Totally, unscientific sensationalism. If they were there to investigate, then one begins with questions and not conclusions. Furthermore, there is this part where he whips out the EMF meter to measure spirit activity in the bathroom area. He didn't even take a baseline reading to start with to find out if the area is inherently high with EMF. Also, in the same episode, they point out to body hair standing as signs of the presence of spirits. What is the basis for such a statement? Extremely irresponsible to neglect the more obvious physiological causes of one's skin hair standing. in other words, these people believe any story they hear, take it as fact, then enter into a location trying to find anything to justify the story. The conclusion begins before the investigation.

At least other shows have some sense of science and objectivity. Some other shows actually INVESTIGATE and even try to debunk rather than do what this show does.
