Jason, I feel you hit the nail on the head when you dissected Jay’s definition of composure. The seizures Steve has over spiders is to say the least, highly dramatic – also his fear of flying and God knows what else. He has no patience for anyone else yet “sucks up” to Jay and Grant every chance he gets. He cannot do anything wrong but badmouth his colleagues which is highly unprofessional. I, like you, miss the days of “hi, we’re here to help” and am annoyed with restaurants, hotels, taverns and “historical homes” wanting TAPS to announce their place as haunted to pick up on tourism. I noticed lonnng ago, the clients always asking,”So is this place haunted?” Remember the episode where Jay and Grant found the tape recorder in the bathroom ceiling along with other “props” to “highten the guests’ experiences – that all was to boost business and TAPS seemed not to mind.

I could not agree w/you more.I have since lost even more respect for them after they failed to stick to there guns and what they call a family,really??Asked them what happened to brandy,rob,ashley ,dustin,and britt,and yes that other guy.The truth is they quit because the show was going exactly in the direction your are sayen.i can tell you from someone on that show stated that 3 of them quit and they put that other women on there to increase the sex appeal of the show,boy thats really ghost hunting for u eh??I think its terrible as one of the person who was on that show stated ,the intigrity of the tru ghost hunting is being comprimised for rateing,therefore not really ghost hunting anymore.maryw

If you actually read my post, you will see that I say I had a lot of respect for them in the early seasons of the show. I’m an actual paranormal investigator, so I know (more so than you) what actually goes into an investigation and that they cannot possibly show everything within an hour long show. And if you did any amount of research or knew any groups in the field, you would see that the general consensus now is that “Ghost Hunters” and TAPS have lost most, if not all, of their credibility. And I suggest you learn basic third grade spelling and grammar before attacking and insulting someone else.

lol they only show on cue? kk you obviously don’t realize they cut footage. the spend over 6h hours of footage. yeah i guess it’s possible to show all that in an hours span? lul kk noob jeez, there is so much more i could say about this, but your whole “oh wah wah cry baby cause ghost hutners sold out whatever blah blah” is pretty dumb. the moment they got a show would pretty much them “selling out” and your opinion on them being “frowned upon” by the paranormal community is few and far between.

[...] especially considering how we feel that the some of the shows SyFy offers have become perhaps a bit too sensationalistic as of late). We see them test out the experiments, and the results are pretty interesting. I won’t go into [...]

doesn’t sound like jealousy, taps really did lose their scientific way long ago. good to see actual ghost hunters pointing out the things the rest of us never get to see!

Believe me, I’m not jealous of TAPS. They sold out their beliefs and ideals for money. They look worn out and exhausted. They’ve lost the respect of many in the paranormal investigations community. There are many people out there who, while interested in the paranormal, don’t really know much about it. And they take what TAPS says as gospel. This post was trying to expose some of the “smoke and mirrors” TAPS uses on it’s show. At its core, it’s a reality show and entertainment. It’s not about serious, scientific investigations anymore. Any real ghost hunter will tell you that!

It is very saddening. The truth is, I preferred watching Ghost Hunters back in the early days, when they didn’t find as much “evidence” or have as many “personal experiences.” What they do now is not an accurate representation of what actual paranormal investigating is like!
