I myself cannot stand the super mario brothers of the ghost hunting world. (Get it, they're both plumbers and one is fat and the other is skinny and they just may be doing shrooms.) The whole show from the start reaked of bull the second I watched the premier of the first episode. After a few seasons I finally stopped watching cause I could of been watching MTV and been seeing the same thing. A whole bunch of people hanging out in a baddly lit area, dramatic music and feelings. I mean, who honestly gets that mad at their tech guy for misplacing a $5 cable or forgetting to bring a certain camera that they had 10 other ones of the same kind laying in their truck? They were being told by the network no doubt to over react to everything. And if anyone has seen the South Park celebrity ghost episode, I think they said all that needs to be said of Ghost Hunters.
Not to really "defend" the GH team or anything because they have indeed done some lameo "reality show" stuff in the past... but the last 3 seasons or so have been MUCH better. No more drama, and they are much more open about what it is that they are actually doing.
I don't believe they fake evidence, but they do make a bigger deal out of some of their "findings" than necessary. I feel that it could be a decent show if they spent more time debunking and less time "OMG GHOST"ing.

I only watch these Ghost TV shows when I need a laugh. They do show one good thing though.... How NOT to do an investigation!
The only reason I watch it is to remind myself of why I believe EVPs are crap.
Oh, and to see the awesome locations that I will never have a chance to visit in person.

Wasn't there an episode of Ghost Hunters where they got caught faking the evidence of a specter running away from the camera, and they only reason they got caught was because it was wearing a pair of Nikes?

I refuse to watch any other shows....I find I compare Ghost Adventures to them & well, I have a favorite show. I used to watch Paranormal State. I stopped watching them after they aired an episode titled "I am 6"...or something like that about a chick that was (more like wasn't) possesed by the devil. That chick was clearly faking the whole thing and the paranormal team fed into it....my respect for them plummeted from there. But this is just my own honest opinion.
I have respect for any one that can try to prove spirits exhist because it's not easy....but when the evidence is clearly fake AND still is aired on television well......

I can agree MOST EVPs are crap. Not all though so a blanket statement won't apply.
I have so far obtained only 7 EVPs I consider valid. Perhaps the most significant comes from a private case I was working. A voice clearly states, "Leave me alone". It is as clear as someone speaking into a recorder. It was caught using high gain amplifiers and a stereo recording system.
But there was more. At the same time a lamp was thrown from a dresser about 6 feet and smashed onto a wall above a child who was sleeping at the time. The child was the only one in the room and sesnitivity on the amplifier was sufficient you could hear her breathing as she slept so clearly she did not hoax it. (Besides, she was only 6 at the time.)
3 investigators were also downstairs along with her parents at the time. We can account for our actions, and clearly were not hoaxing it. The smashing of the lamp woke the child who ran screaming from her room. She was met by all of us who were also rushing to the room in the hall at the top of the steps. Photos and other evidence collected at the time validates the story. I was one of the investigators present so I can also attest to the validity of the story.
Clearly this goes well beyond the crappy EVPs the ghost hunter TV shows portray. Which is also why I don't watch them. One piece of evidence, an EVP by itself, or a fuzzy picture taken under questionable conditions, or an EM Field disturbance with no background baseline for comparison IS crap. But when several things come together at once as collaborating evidence it becomes much harder to discount. Too bad that never happens on TV!
