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 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 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...

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.

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 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 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...

By Administrator Jason and Grant are firmly aware of that, and for the most part, the team tries to do the best they can with the situation. Jason and Grant were solid when working with Steve Valentine, a guest who knew he could have cracked jokes the entire time, but refrained. Robb and Dustin (from “Ghost Hunt...

By Tegan And hey, I got to see the final episode. Ghost Hunters International : "Hauntings of South Africa" - This one was a good example of how easy it is for people to fool themselves. Some good debunking went on, but they still declared the ...
