Ghost Shows

You know TV shows like Ghost Adventures or Ghost Hunters? What do you think of them? They are entertaining for sure, and creepy, but pretty much everything on the shows can be faked.
 Do you have any reason to believe or not believe them?

I feel like watching one of those show would be a complete and utter waste of time. I don't really like TV in general though.

I LOVE Ghost Adventures. Zak, Nick, and Aaron are the 3 funniest motherfuckers on TV.
I love how often they say "dude" and "bro". It's fucking classic. Also Zak's HUGE biceps are legit.
Idk about how real the show is, but sometimes they get some pretty weird evidence so idk what I believe 
Regardless, they are a hella entertaining group

there's tons of reasons not to believe these shows, just look on youtube... some of the stuff is so obvious too!

Yeah I mean they rarely capture apparitions, it's mostly just voices & unexplained noises...there isn't much that can be disproved, and at the same time there isn't much that can be verified. That's the shtick of the show though...you gotta make up your own mind

exactly... and because of the way sound travels, it's very easy to fake a 'ghostly voice'

Rarely? I don't think they've caught a single god damned one. What a waste of time.
Such bullshit. I'd rather have them canceled and have more Anthony Bourdain and Man Vs Food. At least that shit is entertaining and informative.

Yea well you don't watch enough of the show then! Besides, I would rather watch ghost hunters than man vs food and no reservations. You just have to laugh at them when they freak out and get possessed. Smoke a fat bowl then watch an episode...im sorry but it's incredibly entertaining.

There was one ghost show on one of the MTV channels that put a bunch of people in a haunted place with a "safe room" and had them perform randomly assigned tasks that would supposedly provoke any specters there in to fucking with them.
It scared me when I was a kid, and I've felt ghastly presences many a time in my life, but it's hard to believe what on the show was faked or overplayed to increase the suspense for the viewers.
I've won most spiritual battles I've fought, so if ever I feel a spirit that wants to fuck with me, I'm kinda like YOU WANT A PIECE OF THIS MOTHERFUCKER!? and condemn the fucker to The Void.
Just not something I commonly advertise because I don't want people to think I'm crazier than they already do

wow, it's been 6 years since i have been here and i first post on this...
while i do believe that there is something greater beyond this reality, these shows are as set up as any other "reality" show. many aspects of these shows rely on the "personal experience" (IE. i felt a touch, or, i heard a voice that our recorders didn't pick up... etc.) what i can tell you, is that i do believe in the phenomena of EVP; only because i have caught one myself -- it responded with a clear as day "yep" after a question was asked.
when it comes to believing the shows i take with a case to case grain of salt.

All of those shows are fake, so easy to do any of that garbage they capture on film. Its all about ratings and money.

lame-city deluxe
never saw any of their finds make any sort of scientific journal
I work in a building where a grisly suicide took place
I used to live in a house where someone was murdered one floor above where I slept. I mean brutalized and allowed to die a slow death, not just capped or gutted.
never encountered a single weird thang
