Sorry it's been so long, but this has been one long, crappy summer as far as Paranormal TV goes. Why write about shows that I couldn't stand to watch all the way through? My Haunted House on Bio turned into a, " go back in time," and try to recreate from the victims memory something that may have happened years ago. I'm sorry, but it's boring. I'm really tired of these shows that go back in time and do re-enactments. It's worse than reality TV, it's reality TV that's been recreated by writers. Kind of like warmed over baked beans, they tasted pretty good the first day, but reheating them isn't very satisfying. Plus, they start to give you gas. I started writing this blog because of shows that hunt ghosts. In real time. Enough said.
American Haunting, the latest from A & E is OK. They took real families, having real paranormal activity in the present. They set up cameras, and get evidence. They families are suffering in real-time. The families call in professional ghost hunters, demon killers, and the like. They showed 3 episodes on one night, July 27th, and I haven't heard from them since. Look, it's pretty good. Maybe they could call in real professionals from other shows in the future. That might take it to the next level. I have a feeling that was all for that series. It's probably cooked.
Ghost Adventures has returned with new episodes. Yeah! The first 2 so far have been great. They are still the best crew on TV at getting evidence. Last week, they went to Toulumne Hospital in Sonora CA. They have taken to using the X-Box Kinect to map ghosts. And it worked! That is the cutting edge that we all love from them. Using new tools to gather more evidence. Unlike Ghost Hunters using a Geiger counter. The boys are smart and the best in the business. Tonight they're going to Missouri State Prison, and prisons always seem to bring it. So I advise you to set your DVR to 9pm EDT Friday nights on Travel Channel. Hell, set it for 8pm, because they show last weeks episode then, in case you missed it. These are episode numbers 112 and 113 respectively. Be sure to watch if you like the real thing, done by pros.
Ghost Mine has started new episodes on Wednesdays on SY-FY. Episode 7 is first up. I DVR'd it, and haven't had a chance to watch. But I do know they are going back to the same mine, the Old Crescent. It's located about 200 miles from me, and someday I'm going in person. Maybe make a video post. So next week I'll let you know how it went. I'll probably wait until watching the next episode to give a review. So, I've finally got a full weekend of good ghost watching, just as the weather's starting to change. Fall's starting to look up. GO Ghost Adventures! And thanks! Also avoid gas inducing TV.
