Editorial Reviews

The smash-hit SciFi Channel show is back for a second season of spooks, shocks and suspense! Plumbers by day, at night Jason and Grant head up TAPS (The Atlantic Paranormal Society), a close-knit organization of volunteer paranormal researchers–ordinary people who investigate and attempt to debunk claims of otherworldly activity. These self proclaimed skeptics have managed to expose some of the most frighteningly compelling evidence of paranormal phenomenon ever seen on television! Season 2's first 11 episodes are packed with even more excitement, oddities, goose bumps, and strange paranormal behavior than the TAPS team has ever come across before!

This review is from: Ghost Hunters - Season 2, Part 1 (DVD)

Big Vision, the company responsible for putting out "Ghost Hunters: Season 2, Parts 1 and 2" and "Ghost Hunters: Season 1," still have a long way to go with the production quality of their discs, but they definitely listen to their customers and attempt to make corrections. For starters, they've hulked up the DVD cases for Season 2, making it virtually impossible for the discs to become dislodged during shipping. This was a major complaint of many folks of Season 1's release. Secondly, the picture has gotten better. Granted, it's not perfect, and it's still too grainy during the investigations to see everything that's going on, but it has improved slightly. Finally, the audio is okay. As stated before, there is still plenty of space for changes and improvements, but Big Vision seems to be taking its customers advice to heart.

Now, on to Season 2, Part 1, in which we find Jason and Grant and the rest of the TAPS team seeking out more ghosts or lack thereof. This particular set includes one of my favorite cases: Myrtles Plantation. They also revisit Eastern State Penitentiary and tackle the Rolling Hills Asylum, the wacky Winchester House, and the U.S.S. North Carolina.

TAPS has always managed to impress me with their professionalism. Search any number of "ghost hunting" websites and you'll see that many of them are nothing more than a bunch of teen and college-aged kids hanging out in the graveyard or trespassing onto abandoned property. TAPS takes the paranormal very seriously. It almost takes an act of God to make them label a location as haunted. When they do, you can rest assured that they've done everything in their power to debunk a ghost's existence.

I highly recommend this DVD set, as well as Part 2 of Season 2 and the first season. You'll be impressed at how the TAPS team takes time to explain what an EMF detector is, what "orbs" are and probably aren't, and how something as simple as a mirror can play tricks on your mind.

Another great thing about this particular set is in the deleted scenes area where Brian is confronted by a woman and called a few derogatory terms. It's fun at the expense of Brian, but let's face it, Brian's just a funny guy.

"Dude, Run!!!"

3.0 out of 5 stars Great Show, Horrible sound and video quality., September 30, 2006

Many have already said it, but I'll say it again. This is one of the best shows on T.V. So why the crappy video and sound quality. The audio in particular is horrible. It reminds me of what it sounds like when you talk to close to a microphone. And the video is very choppy and the colors vary. Watching the show on the SciFi channel is ten times better than this DVD. I have never complained about DVD quality before, but this is so bad that it is actually a distraction. I don't want people to not buy the dvd, but you might be better off getting the itunes version.
