What time and channel does it come on in our area? It's been awhile since I've caught an episode and forget.
it's on SciFi, and is on pretty much from 7:00-11:00 with the new show at 9:00..the others are re-runs

Ghost Hunters is a nice piece of entertainment, nothing more. Then again, if you enjoy watching a bunch of people pretend to be scared, seeing and hearing things that aren't there, it's perfect.

that's what i find so annoying about it, but it can be entertaining. i *do* think it's interesting how many weird feelings, and feelings of sickness seem to be related to how a building is wired, tho!

Wow, I only just discovered this show last night (we got cable yesterday.... BOOYAH!), and thought it was pretty cool. I can't believe it's got such a good reception on this board (esp. from you Packrat).

Overall I thought some of the stuff is believable. I think the EVP stuff is pretty convincing, but I don't know about the thermal-imaging camera. Seems to me you could fake a LOT of stuff with that. I'm also impressed with how they seem to work hard to debunk certain stuff; like that episode where they found bones underneath the basement floor. A lot of shows would have left that up in the air, but they got a forensics guy to check it out. Turned out they were bovine bones.

What am I Mr. Negative lol? Well, I did say it was boring It's an ok show overall. From what little I've seen at least. I heard they have a new member now (or maybe more), that show boats. I haven't caught any recent episodes so can't really comment on them.

I'm still waiting for Ghost Hunters to show an ounce of the scientific method they always claim to use. I'm sure if they did bother using it, they wouldn't be using all the waste of time gadgetry they wave around.

I've had my complaints about the show, but one rerun was particularly fun to watch. It was a hunt at an old lighthouse in St. Augustine, Florida. Gave me goose bumps. I do recommend that episode, even if you can't buy the ghost.

I like the taps investigation where they capture an image of a man in infra red whilst they are in the same room and there is nobody there. Its on you tube somewhere.

I agree though most of the shows are a little bit boring.

Is that they one where the figure appeared as a heat image on a locker or something? I saw that one too and it was pretty interesting.
Even when I still had cable I didn't watch that show very often. I consider it entertainment.
