It seems 2 new ones have arrived just before Halloween, one is Ghost Lab on Discovery, they seem to use different methods from the others, but for some bizarre reason they don't use infrared , this is beyond stupid in this day and age. They also have some patented maneuver called "era cues", they simply play old music from the period,etc. It's not really a new concept and the name, one which they repeat a zillion times per episode, sounds lame.


The other one that came out the other day was very unique, they had this guy cut his wrist to communicate with the dead and they investigated a haunted lake by having this guy dive in it.

Both shows are better than Paranormal State and a few others.

watching Ghost Lab right now actually. It's just okay IMO. whats this other one you are talking about? is it that Ghost Story show thats 30 minutes long on the travel channel? I watched a little of that but I didnt see any cutting. I want to see that.

oh and I like Paranormal State. except Chip Coffee(sp?). I just expect to see him burst into song and dance everytime he shows up

I watched EXTREME PARANORMAL last night, .... and it is the most retarded, over produced peice of crap I have ever seen. The dailogue and techniques are just ludicrous, ... they make stupid assumptions like " oh this ghost must be here"

I saw one part, where all three of them were in a cell, one of them hears something and goes running, and see's a shadow that only he see's. When he meets up with the other two he says " Well I thought it was one of you at first" which is so retarded, because he had left the other two to go see the noise.

The last segment, was them actually diving under a lake to try and capture paranormal activity, ... the one diving starts panicking saying there was something grabbing his leg, ... it was obviously so fake.

all gimmicks, no substance. I dont know where they found those idiots at, but they need to go back to working at carnivals.

Dude on the new Ghost Lab just got scratched , this seems like a common occurrence on shows.

That must be the other show I was referring too , some guy shed some blood and set fire to it to draw the spirits. I was entertaining I must admit, yet very over the top

Just tuned into Ghost Lab. Haven't seen it before. Hm. They have a Tesla Coil, for some reason.

I love the ghost shows and will watch them all, crap or not. lol.

So, I'm not a good critic.

Extreme Paranormal is a bit over the top I must admit. But I'm not gonna lie, i enjoyed it.

I like how they tied the occult practices into their investigations.

any one watch the south park episode where they poked fun at ghost hunters? it is very new. ike is being haunted by the very recently deceased celebrities and they call in ghost hunters. even though i like ghost hunters, what the people at south park did to them was very funny!

Man, I had high-hopes for Ghost Lab, but it was a complete suckfest. The 2 "owners" are borderline unwatchable due to their over-the-top mannerisms. Everything is glammed-up for the cameras.

I've given it 3 episodes now and it's not changing. IMHO - it isn't worth watching

Yeah, I remember that one, they were on some government ship and blamed the service people.

I believe the ship was the Queen Mary and if I'd caught something like that, I'd have dismissed the whole ship as a tourist attraction. And I haven't watched the episode yet, but the GhostHunters with Meat Loaf as a guest is under fire for a moving water bottle. It's on YouTube and a window that was closed is suddenly opened and the bottle is moved?

I'm not thrilled with Ghost Lab either for reasons stated by others.

But like looking for UFO's, if one is real, then maybe it's something to see. But not being there, I take it all with a grain of salt.

Extreme Paranormal is pure staged tripe. "Blair Witch " on TV. I saw the first episode last week and put me on the fence, just started watching this weeks and the first 15 minutes is just horrible acting.

It on now, they just buried some guy in a voodoo graveyard with chicken blood on his forehead, now they are playing some voodoo chant to draw the spirits.
