The Ghost Speaks/ GA Crew the Best

Last Fridays "Ghost Adventures" once again showed why these boys are the best in the business. Investigating King's Tavern they proved why. They get more evidence in one investigation than any other professional crew there is. I mean, this was an incredible hour of ghost hunting. It was the best episode from them in a long, long time. This week is another rerun, but I forgive them because of this wonderful episode. If you missed it it's on again tonight, Friday the 26th at 8pm Eastern on the Travel Channel. Ghost busting good!

The latest show from Bio is one of the weakest  TV shows about ghosts I've ever seen. It is called, "The Ghost Speaks" and it is truly the biggest pieces of crap to hit the airwaves in quite some time. Here's the premise.. .people share a haunting experience and guess what? The ghost speaks. But not really. It's voiced over by an actor, and the ghost talks about what's bothering it, why it's there, and the real kicker...who it is. Come on...there is no way to know this, there is no way to prove this, and there certainly is no way to know for fact who the ghost is. This is a steaming pile of crap. It's mostly conjecture, and even though they did show some actual evidence, when the ghost speaks I had to laugh so hard, the iced tea I was drinking shot out of my nose. It's been a while since I've laughed this hard. So I guess there is one redeeming quality to these shows, it will make you laugh. I'm assuming this is a spin-off of "The Killer Speaks." At least with that show it's the real killer. I've watched 3 episodes of that show, and it's pretty good. But this is taking it one step too far. The ghost is speaking lines written by a writer. And not a very good writer. So, 1 out of 4 stars. If you're depressed watch it. It make make you shoot liquid out your nose. But if you're looking for a good ghost show, pass. It airs on Bio Saturday at 10pm Eastern.

Deep-South Paranormal Episode 2

There hasn't been a lot of new shows about the paranormal coming our way, so I've got a couple of things to say about what is on.

First, the "Haunted Collector" has been new episodes. I think the show is OK, mostly because he has such a good crew. Top-notch. But, the last episode I heard John Zaffis use the F-Word. Something touched his back and he freaked. It was funny, funny! As I've said before, why do all the "pros," (using the term lightly), have to cuss when they get scared? I do my share of cussing, so I'm not some prim little guy that gets his sensibility's hurt. I just get tired of "beep-beep-beep." It's distracting, and since these are supposed to be pros, who KNOW they are being filmed, stupid. There are a lot of reality shows on TV that would only be 15 minutes long is they took out all the bad language. But hearing John drop the bomb, I had to laugh...hard. He was funny. And here's my big gripe about his show...so far this year they are batting a thousand.  Every case they have done has a happy ending. 100% solving rate. These guys could save the world it seems. And rid the world of paranormal. Someone give them a call.

After watching the 2nd episode last night, I'm pretty happy. It's a funny show, and I've heard some new southern sayings that I'd never heard. The old guy that carries a staff, kind of the southern witch-doctor, is great. "My ghost radar's going off like a buck in rutting season." Funny! The best was "We're busier than a stump-tailed cow on fly day!" That was great! Probably only 4 more new episodes coming, so I'm giving them 4 out of 5 stars. They beat the hell out of the great Ryan Buell, and the Supernatural Sisters. It airs at 10 Eastern on Wednesdays on Sy-Fy. It's about the only new show on right now. I don't know what May holds in store, but I'm hoping some of our favorites show new episodes. I'll let you know when I find out something. Happy Hunting!

Deep-South Paranormal

First, I want to give a little bit of my opinion. Why do all these people that investigate the paranormal have to constantly use the F-Word? By no means am I a prude, and have been known to use colorful language. But these are supposed to be professionals. I get sick of bleep, bleep, bleep, when something happens. They know that they can't use these scenes. Is it when someone gets scared they cuss? Every show does it. How about "Wow, did you hear that?" No it's F***, F***, F***.

Next I'd like to talk about recent episodes that have been non-reruns. "Haunted Collector" has been pretty good this year. I am just amazed that they NEVER fail. They identify the trigger object, and poof, haunting is over. So if I get this right, everyone else is doing the wrong thing. It seems it's possible to get rid of these ghosts. So why are places still haunted? So, I am saying right here, find the trigger object, remove it, say F***!, and no more ghosts! Yeah right.

"Stranded" has ended it's first season, and I will say the first episode and maybe the last were the best. I like the concept, but I still think the producers need to give these people a crash course in ghost hunting. At least SHOW them what the equipment's for, how to run it, and then tell them to USE it. But have no fear about one thing, they have the cussing down, no training needed there.

Taking the "Stranded" time slot is a new show called "Deep-South Paranormal." I have only seen the promos, but it might be good. Having all my relatives from the south, this might be funny as hell. I think it might be good. I'll bet they can use the F-Word with the best of them. I will write more after I see the 1st episode. I like the premise, so let's cross our fingers. It airs on Sy-Fy Wednesday's at 10 Eastern.

Finally "Ghost Adventures" had a re-run last week. Same with "The Dead Files." I truly think the Adventure crew is burned out, and I don't look for much new in the future. They have been through enough, and I won't fault them for turning in their EMF detectors. Hope I'm wrong. But if not, they had a great run. Maybe they'll prove me wrong. Wait, what was that noise? F**kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!
