I think you are right though, pretty much all of their "evidence" needs to be regarded with absolute skepticism, however I don't agree that it all needs to be thrown out. You take it for what it is I suppose...

I'd say the findings are as useful for encouraging people to study ghosts as showing footage of a chimp defecating in a lab would encourage people to take up chemistry. If they do take the bait and get into paranormal research, modelling themselves after TAPS would be about the worst career move ever, as they offer nothing to the field apart from ridicule and a TV show that illustrates exactly why ghost hunters the world over are laughed at.

It is very easy to be a skeptic until you have your own paranormal experience, the same goes for seeing a UFO.

You don't see lauded physicists running around saying they've found a new kind of quantum particle lodged in their cheese sandwich, do you?
