4.0 out of 5 stars These guys are the real deal, March 1, 2010

This review is from: Ghost Hunters: The Complete First Season (DVD)

What Did Jesus Really Say-How Christianity Went Astray: [What To Say To A Born Again Christian Fundamentalist, But Never Had The Information] -- by Peter Cayce [2005]

I've been watching Ghost Hunters (via satellite and in the States) from almost the very beginning. I've now seen the original programs and have read the books of Jason and Grant too. I have to say that I believe that ghosts may exist, but I want some kind of evidence. Some kind of proof. These investigators -- and their paranormal investigation team -- work on the same premise. They attempt to "debunk" paranormal claims, but when they gather evidence that is hard to "debunk" or "dispute," they are left with evidence that may actually support life after death (i.e., ghost, paranormal activity).

While Ghost Hunters works with a scientific leaning by utilizing technical equipment from EMF meters / K2 meters, digital thermometers, night vision cameras and thermal sensor equipment, etc., other paranormal programs utilize spirit mediums and the like. While I do not discount psychic mediums and sensitives, their evidence is hard to prove or "debunk." Nevertheless, programs like "Paranormal State" and "Paranormal Cops" (broadcast on A&E) have their place as well. They are certainly interesting. Psychic mediums like John Edward and Chip Coffee are quite interesting. In fact, I've been watching John Edward for many years. He's gotten a bit "mushy" as of late (even for WE) -- his original program on SyFy used to display his medium abilities more readily. In short, more readings.

Writers and psychic researchers like Peter Cayce are also quite interesting. Peter Cayce utilizes Science, Philosophy and Religion to come up with explanations for the afterlife and reincarnation and Karma. Interesting material.

In any case, the paranormal field is an interesting one. I'd really like to see more programs about legitimate psychics and paranormal investigators like Ghost Hunters, John Edward and Peter Cayce.

5.0 out of 5 stars As good as the original!, June 1, 2009

I love Ghosthunters International. I think it's just as good as the original, with the same concept but more exotic locations. It's interesting to step outside our country to see paranormal activity in other parts of the world. I've been watching Ghosthunters since day one almost 5 years ago, and Ghosthunters International is a great spin-off to the original show! I just wish Donna would return!

2.0 out of 5 stars Had some merit at first, May 26, 2009

This review is from: Ghost Hunters: The Complete First Season (DVD)

During the show's early episodes, Brian, Andy and Donna from the original series had joined the cast. All three lent lively personalities and years of expertise to the show, and the episodes were great entertainment (although Donna's tendency to shriek gets tedious really fast). But mid-season, these three had left. The show needed to rely on the lead, Robb, and the "experienced" Barry. Robb is not a debunker but instead tends to view everything as being haunted. For instance, he can have an EVP that sounds like someone scraping their shoe on floorboards and he claims the place is haunted. He relies heavily on Barry, and Barry continually comes off as a phoney -- in every episode, something unobservable and unverifiable happens to him, like he claims to be touched or to see something behind a locked door. Barry runs towards what ends up being nothing, and he runs away from a lot of things too (Brian used to get teased for this!). Donna's replacement, Brandy, has a nasally voice that is not clear or inviting on TV. The quality of the investigations is disappointing, and I can't help feeling like GHI is a disservice to the original. The only reason I am purchasing the DVD (when it finally is released???) is for the earlier episodes that were fun.
