Ghost Hunters International

By Administrator With this year’s run for “Ghost Hunters” nearly complete, giving way to “Ghost Hunters Academy” for the rest of the year and “Ghost Hunters International” in January 2010, I was expecting them to have an episode with a bit more activity. The network usually has them hold back episodes with...

By Administrator I found the personal experiences to be a bit overdone, and both EVPs were buried within the background noise so deeply that I couldn’t make them out at all. That screams “pattern recognition” to me. So in this instance, I don’t agree that there is definite paranormal activity. Robb never said...

By Administrator I’ve said before that I tend to enjoy the cases with plenty of debunking more than the cases with vague activity, and this is another such example. I was very worried that the team would mistake the bird calls for paranormal moaning, but they got it right. (An awareness of animal sounds is ofte...

By iTunes Ghost Hunters International returns to Italy to investigate the Tuscan castle of Malaspina and its 700 year old legend of the doomed lover Bianca Maria Aloisia. Ashley gets the shock of her life when she sees a face that could be Bianca's. Also, Robb gets disinvited from the castle by an occu...

By Administrator But I do think there’s a valid criticism to be made. The team hasn’t quite recovered from losing Andy during the first season. Andy had a good reason to stay behind, but Joe is a far cry from Andy. Joe is a lot more sedate and, frankly, doesn’t add much to the team. Note how Barry and Dustin have becom...

By Administrator After the last review, I caught a bit of criticism for focusing so much on the age of the investigators. A number of people felt that age, and the subsequent lack of experience in the field, was beside the point. In a way, this episode helps to prove my point. Ashley’s terror was palpable through...

By Administrator In contrast, a lot of the teams with shows these days seem to trend younger, and GHI seems to be following suit. This doesn’t have to be a problem, since a lack of critical thinking is hardly a trait reserved for the young. All too many paranormal investigators suffer from that malady. At the sam...

By Amazon Video on Demand The first episode of the season ventures deep into the countryside of Wicklow, Ireland for an investigation of an old 18th century prison. As these 'real-life ghost hunters' try to uncover truth or fiction, they'll face their closest supernatural encounter yet! The new six-part episod...

By Administrator This episode continues to remind me why I consider GHI to be superior, at this point, to TAPS. Both have their strengths and weaknesses, to be sure, but there is a vitality and touch of innovation to GHI that is largely missing from recent episodes of “Ghost Hunters”. And that has been retaine...

By Erika SCI FI’s Ghost Hunters heads to Philadelphia and New Hampshire and investigates places such as Betsy Ross’ house and the Hansom House when it returns for a new season on Wednesday. One other location the guys couldn’t help but get involved with is the Spalding Inn, a haunted inn that Hawes and Wilson bought. When members of their families began having experiences, they brought in the Ghost Hunters International team to investigate. “We’re looking for answers. We’re looking for the truth, and we’re also trying to help out as many people as we can,” Hawes said. Ghost Hunters premieres on the SCI FI Channel on Wednesday, March 11, at 9 p.m. ET/PT.

By Administrator Between the strong group dynamic and the experimentation, GHI is doing exactly what TAPS originally set out to do. They also seem to be more engaged in debunking “evidence”, which has been one of the main criticisms against TAPS in recent years. It’s also interesting to note that GHI is most...

 NY Ghost Hunters International closed its first campaign as the most-watched original reality series in Sci Fi history. The concluding March 5 installment, an investigation at a former prison, scored a 1.6 household rating average and 2.2 million total ...

 ca It's been said many times before, but it certainly applies now: the editors often try to cram two cases into one episode when they deserve a lot more attention. Not necessarily because there's powerfully convincing "evidence", but rather, ...

By Administrator The bitter irony of this episode is that the case with the more rigorous approach and thoughtful debunking (and more interesting location) was sidelined for an investigation with more exciting “evidence”, but far less convincing.

By Administrator Case #1: Castillo de la Coracera, Spain Case #2: Castel D’Escales, Spain This was probably one of my favorite episodes of “Ghost Hunters International” since the show began. In fact, it’s quite possible one of my favorite episodes in the franchise in years. This is the kind of episode that s...

There were not many scary moments during the investigation so the audience hoped the GHI team found something in the review of the evidence. Even lacking was the show cutting to commercial when someone heard a “foots step” or saw a “shadow. ...

By Administrator Barry, on the other hand, seems to have been the victim of “character creation”. As early as his first appearances on “Ghost Hunters”, he was portrayed as the skittish buffoon, more cowardly than his American colleagues, and befuddled by a stereotypical belief in fairies and folklore. Th...

By Administrator This is another episode that should quiet some of those who claim, quite incorrectly, that GHI has never visited a site they didn’t conclude was haunted. Here, we have two locations that fail to meet that standard, and with good reason. In fact, despite some serious shortcomings, this epis...

By Administrator The only notable item for this episode is the inclusion of Joe Chin on both investigations. Whether or not this is a temporary situation or a permanent one remains to be seen, but Joe’s participation left me with the same underwhelmed feeling that it always did on “Ghost Hunters”.

By Administrator This case also sheds light on a true challenge for so many investigators. When investigators encounter something familiar, something they can easily explain based on their well-tested knowledge or common sense, they are confident and sometimes arrogant debunkers. But when presented...

By Administrator That said, the team didn’t declare the location haunted, and even seemed a bit cagey on the notion that there’s something unusual happening at the site. I felt that their comments about paranormal activity were more for the client than a reflection of their actual opinion.

By Administrator I consider Robb and Dustin to be reasonably good at what they do. They do tend to believe and accept a little too much on occasion, but what paranormal investigator doesn’t? Barry continues to be over-reactive at times. Surprisingly, this episode didn’t do much for Brandy, who came across a...
