Ghosts

I do not really watch much tv. Some of you may wonder why I bought a new tv. Simple answer, it was too good of a deal to pass up. Anyways, of the few tv shows I watch in a week, one of them I really enjoy watching, which is Ghost Hunters. Laugh all you want, but this is a cool show. It is on Wednesday's on Sci-Fi. I do not believe in ghosts. This show, is a non proft based show. They are called and informed about a situation and asked to do an investigation on if the place is haunted or not. I guess the big thing that hooks me into watching the show, is that they try to disprove the sightings and claims people make. They try to recreate some things to see if there is some logical explanation instead of just saying it is ghosts. After the shows, they review all the video and audio recordings and try to debunk what some of them really are and not always claim it is a ghost.
There have been some very interesting finds on Ghost Hunters. I will place two links at the bottom of the page of two great episodes to show you some of the crazy things they have discovered. On one episode, one of the main guys was holding a flash light that you turn on by pushing the end button in. It was tossed out of his hands. He went over by it after being shocked by that, and asked if it could turn it on by pushing the button in. It turned on for a few seconds then it turned off. He picked up the flash light and showed the camera how hard it was to turn on and it was not just a easy button to press.
In another episode, the same guy who was holding the flashlight, took off his sandals before walking up some stairs to try and debunk some noises people claim. He thought he saw something upstairs, so his partner and the camera guy went after him. They could not catch whatever he saw so they went back down the stairs and one of his sandals was gone. They searched for twenty minutes until they checked the one room they were not shown in the initial tour of the house. The sandal was placed in the direct middle of the room. After they reviewed all of the cameras, no one had come into that room in the time they were upstairs.
Now, I still am not one to believe that there are ghosts but some of the video and audio clips are kind of creepy. Even after they show the clips of what they caught to the people, they do not always say its haunted, they just hint that there may be something there but no solid evidence. I think they only said a handful of places that were haunted. I would like to go on that show and do some investigations with them. I know initially I would be scared and probably pee my pants but it would be worth it.
I definately recommend watching this show, I bet you'll like it.
