What Do You Think Of Paranormal Shows?

With shows like Ghost Hunters, Ghost Hunters International, Ghost Hunters Academy, Ghost Adventures, Destination Truth, Paranormal State, and all the 100's of other shows that seem to be popping up. What is your take on them? I still haven't seen anything legit to say that ghosts exist. It's entertaining and I like the history behind the places they investigate, but still alot of it seems faked.

I saw one where Derek Acorah sucked off seven ghost's in some old castle!
 
The same as I thought of John Edward's talking to the dead show. BULLSHIT!
 
These shows are fucking stupid. It blows my mind that people like this garbage. They never have any proof!

South Park does a good spoof of those stupid assholes on Ghost Hunters. Worst hunters in the world IMO. They've never caught anything.

Paranormal State is fuckin stupid too. Dead Hour? LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

Hold on I'm seeing a person, they are wearing a hat, they like stuff, wait I am seeing something orange....it's an orange.....Now give me a paranormal tv show!
 
Complete bullshit that serve no purpose other than fill people with false hope and those that play on these people fears and hopes for financial gain should be ashamed of themselves. (I'll stay on the topic of television shows, I'll resist the urge to state that the clergy do basically the exact same thing (oops I just did :o))

Those ghost hunter shows are just lame, a bunch of complete idiots running around an old house screaming because the wind brushed their leg (or whatever) has to be the most moronic thing this side of reality TV .... which I guess this is a part of.
 
I always remember that South Park that made fun of him and at the end John Edwards wins Douche bag of the universe award! Good times.

Now I am seeing someone with money concerns. Money. Anyone with money? Is there a P-p-p-p... Barry! That's it! Barry. Yeah, I know him. He came to me while I was taking a dump. He told me a lot of things. Something about money, right? Yeah. No, not money. You spent something and it involved money. Exactly. I am always right because I talk to the dead....

If you ever watched Penn & Tellers show Bullshit they do a great episode about defrauding ghost hunting.

It's funny how psychics always find 'spirits' that died peacefully, never angry or bitter because they were murdered! Surely the odds of dead people that would want to communicate with the living because they've got shit to settle would be quite high! It's always a relative who died in their sleep, and are happy and at peace. Never a pissed off murder-victim looking for revenge!

I'd like to take all these psychics to some mass grave, and see how they'd have to act all overwhelmed by voices to keep up the facade. That would smoke 'em out!
 
Every night, most people go to sleep. Very few are scared to do so, eventho' REM might bring us dreams more horrible than any reality. But we accept it, because it's not final. We can wake up.

The "paranormal" shows, Silvia Brown, Edwards, Van Praagh(sp),etc., all prey on our most primal fear and insist that, after you die, you wake up. And the afterlife is void of imperfection. Religion does the same.

So, inherently, these ghost busting shows and the psychic shows are vile, but far be it for me to tell people that reality and science is a happier pill to swallow. I'll die knowing that I'll be turned to ashes and forgotten. In a sad way, I almost envy those who keep themselves engulfed in fairytale and resistance of reality.

But my problem is that the Paranormal investigators, Browns, Edwards, priests, Imams and preachers take these people's money...all of their money. And, at some point, preying on the hopeless, desperate and ignorant becomes near criminal.

I can't go on TV and sell you a Lima bean that cures AIDS, but I can create an entire network that insists that, if you send me your life savings, AIDS will be cured by God. It's disgusting. Psychics, clerics and ghost busters are not that different.
 
I have seen some creepy things in the house where I grew up and I have no idea how to explain them. I like the idea of ghosts because I like the feeling of being scared. But these shows just make anybody that even remotely believes in ghosts, or the paranormal, look retarded
 
I don't buy into the hype of these shows mainly because I have an IQ above room temperature.
