What I don’t understand about the TV show’s are, if Ghosts come through because of the EME’s why isn’t it seen or heard on the original footage shot by the camera men. Its always caught on other equipment.
Doors rattling & random bangs. I have also experienced more vocalizations then footsteps.

The TV shows seem to record footsteps often, What is the most common type of activity you have experienced?
It is my understanding that the show Ghost Hunters investigate more locations then that are aired. The producers decide which locations make the show. With that said, no I do not think it is possible to capture "evidence" on every investigation.

I realize you may not be going to mental institutions, hospitals, prisons or other places that these investigators frequent, (where one might think ghost activity is more common)...but do you believe it likely that Ghost Adventures, Ghost Hunters, etc. are able to genuinely capture paranormal evidence in all of their investigations?
I have used a K-II & Sprit Box. The K-II seems to be hit and miss. Sometimes it gets good results, other times nothing. As for the spirit box, I am still skeptical on if it is of any use. Our group has had good results using the "flashlight technique". On Sunday night we had two about 20-30' apart. It was like something was playing tag with the lights. One would flash on, then the other, then back again.
Originally posted by MrAndyAre ghost hunting tools like the Ovilus, K-II meters, Spirit Box, etc., reliable tools in investigations?
From what I have experienced I would say intelligent.
Originally posted by MrAndyDo most hauntings appear to be intelligent or residual?
Yes, two places. One has been on My Ghost Story, Ghost Lab & Paranormal Challenge. The other has been on Paranormal Adventures. For the first one, I have experienced much there, but nothing that has been featured on the shows. You have to consider those interviews on activity are directed and edited for entertainment. As for the second location, eh... It was a cool place to visit, but I (personally) did not experience anything I could not explain.
Have you investigated a place that was featured on TV? If so, how did your experiences compare to what you saw on TV?

I am not a real ghost hunter, but I know that quite a few visit this site. I previously authored The "Investigation Shows are FAKE" Debate topic, and ever since then I have been interested in hearing more from experienced ghost hunters on their opinions on and comparisons of these programs and their own investigations.
Here are some specific questions I have:
- The TV shows seem to record footsteps often, What is the most common type of activity you have experienced?
- I realize you may not be going to mental institutions, hospitals, prisons or other places that these investigators frequent, (where one might think ghost activity is more common)...but do you believe it likely that Ghost Adventures, Ghost Hunters, etc. are able to genuinely capture paranormal evidence in all of their investigations?
- Are ghost hunting tools like the Ovilus, K-II meters, Spirit Box, etc., reliable tools in investigations?
- Do most hauntings appear to be intelligent or residual?
- Have you investigated a place that was featured on TV? If so, how did your experiences compare to what you saw on TV?
