"Ghost Mine" is quickly becoming the best paranormal show on TV. Every week it is getting better and better, with more discovery's being made, and more drama as the haunting's continue to ramp up. With the discovery of the Mason's involvement and the secret mine opening being uncovered, using granite boulder's with 3 holes drilled into them forming a triangle and leading to the long hidden opening. The miner's discovered a very promising vein inside. But the electronic equipment is being quickly drained of power. This last episode was one of the quickest hours of TV I have ever watched. I highly recommend tuning in.
Which brings me to my disappointment in "Ghost Adventures." This was the best paranormal show on TV, but this season is a huge disappointment. Tonight is again a best of recap scrapping the bottom of the ghost barrel entitled "Obsessions and Possessions." Come on guys, is this it? Put us out of our collective misery and end it if this is all you have left. "Ghost Mine" is now the best paranormal show on TV.
Which brings me to "Haunted Encounters: Face to Face." I have only seen one episode in entirety, which is the season finale Episode 5 that aired on 12/28/12. Started off very promising, with a crew consisting of 4 people, a lead investigator, a psychic, a case manager, and a tech person, calling themselves "The Paranormal Syndicate." Taking a page from "Ghost Adventures," they supposedly stay all night at the locations.
This episode started with the "Houghton Mansion," home of A.C. Houghton and his family. It is now a Masonic Temple, which once again involves the secret society that is the Masons. It also has tragedy at it's core, with deaths associated with it. In 1914 A.C. and his daughter and her friend were being driven by chauffeur and family friend Mr Witters. He swerves to miss something in the road, the car goes over an embankment, and the daughter and friend are killed instantly. The next day or so Mr. Witters kills himself in the barn, and a few days later A.C. dies.
Houghton Mansion is listed as one of the most haunted locations in the US. The crew heads in, and the psychic, who should be carrying a camera sees a black figure. Then she sees an arm and out coming around the corner, and she's gone. She runs out! If she would have had a camera she might have gotten something, but oh no! I have never seen a scared psychic before. Using a flashlight adds to the crap.
Meanwhile the rest of the crew does their thing. They get a couple of compelling EVP's, but that's about it.
They move on to St. Mark's on the Bowery, a church with a founder of New York (Then New Amsterdam), buried in the foundation, and also built upon a graveyard. Talk about a prime locale. Also the site of many grave robbery's. So they try a "Ripple in Time." This is basically a rip-off of "Trigger Objects." They DO get things stirred up. But here's where they lost me. THEY LEAVE. Because they are scared! WTF! Never have I seen a crew leave in the middle of activity, vowing to never return. I suggest that with that, this show never return. This episode aired on Bio Friday's at 10pm eastern. If this was the season finale, I'm glad I didn't torture myself with the 4 previous episodes. I give it 1 out of 5 only because they did get some evidence.
