Ghost Lab – Episode 3 – Chicago/New Orleans

After three episodes of this new show I have to say it’s leaving me feeling pretty cold. Their methods, correlations and findings seem shaky at best. While in Chicago they basically come across nothing but feel that negative energy is trapped there. Based on what; that silly mood device you put your hand on? Come on, that’s your science?

Then in New Orleans it’s all fun and games as they spend their time playing pranks on each other. Now, one of the brothers does get a scratch on the neck while talking trash to the spirit of a young woman who died of a drug overdose right after Katrina. I’ll give you that it’s interesting, but that alone doesn’t mean anything. They’re having a great time playing in the Haunted House in the basement, but I don’t think they’re actually proving anything. I admit fully, a Haunted House in an old Mortuary, now that’s cool.

But seriously, I’m not sure where this show is headed or what they’re hoping to accomplish, but so far, this viewer is completely underwhelmed.

More on Ghost Hunters Live Halloween Special

The Ghost Hunters Live Halloween Special has changed yet again. There will be an investigation but Jason and Grant will not be along for the ride. They will instead be hosting a Halloween party at their Inn.

Jason and Grant have posted the following comments about how the night will play out:

grantswilson: There will be live web cams online and Steve and Tango will be answering questions & panic button hits. There you go.

Jchawes: Here’s the deal on Halloween. TAPS is not doing a live show. There will be a GH marathon on with Josh gates. We’re not investigating.

grantswilson: Halloween show. Hosted live by J Gates, top 5 GH episodes. Get to meet GHA crew. Jay & I prerecorded lead-ins to the shows…

So it looks like Steve and Tango will take the helm with the help of Josh Gates. It’s not really clear how all this is going to play out. Will there be an investigation of any sort? Will the cameras simply be set up and people can watch them to see what happens? Will there be a full investigation with Steve and Tango and the new Academy recruits? Will there just be a marathon of previous episodes? I think I’m more confused about what they’re doing than I was before… Something might be happening, we’re just not sure what. Hopefully Josh can work his magic and pull this mess back together. I’m not very confident this is going to be an entertaining event.

Help the Ghost Hunters, host Josh Gates and the Ghost Hunters Academy recruits make history at the Essex County Hospital, by contributing your expert analysis during the live event. You can join the hunt from home by visiting Syfy.com to help scan the location through live camera feeds and by using the panic button if you see something suspicious. Connect with Syfy.com for this exclusive, one-night-only event, as the team pillages through 325 acres of terror.

Over 10,000 patients died in Essex County Hospital. Now TAPS is on a mission to see how many souls remain. Log on October 31st at 7pm EST to find out. You’d be insane not to.

Ghost Lab – Episode 2 – Tombstone

I tuned in for the second episode and found it to be about as quirky as the first one.

In this one they head off to Tombstone Arizona. Other groups like Ghost Hunters and Ghost Adventures claim Tombstone is a hotbed of paranormal activity. Considering the violent and numerous deaths, they might be on to something. Zak and his group at Ghost Adventures even claim they may have caught some spirits in the “act”. Can the spirits still do that?

The Klinge brothers do a really quick investigation in the Bird Cage Theater. They don’t even seem to make it out of the main entryway. A speaker starts giving feedback and that’s enough for them to say the place is haunted. An “EVP” is recorded in which the brothers hear “Right Quick”. Personally, I hear nothing but static and of course them getting bleeped out. How do you know the speaker doesn’t have any power going to it? It’s not like they pulled the cord all the way out and verified it didn’t connect to anything. It also seemed to get more agitated when their lights got closer to it. Interference? Without going through the rest of the building they head outside to the trailer and start to analyze their trophies.

Then it’s off to the Crystal Palace where they seem to spend all of five minutes and declare the place haunted because of personal experiences.

No evidence is found in the old mineshaft so at least there aren’t any claims of a haunted miner; Scooby and Shaggy will be so relieved.

In Boot Hill they have motion detectors going off and then produce a picture of a shadow figure. This gets them excited and by that, I mean really excited. Good thing they didn’t have any guns or they’d be shooting them in the air. Perhaps they did in fact capture something on camera, perhaps it’s just a trick of light or a glitch with the lens. In either case it didn’t actually get them to spend a whole lot more time out there looking for more evidence.

It doesn’t seem like they spent more than two hours in any one place. And as soon as their equipment starts to record something the team races back to their trailer to analyze it rather than going further in and grabbing more evidence. Why aren’t they doing a full investigation and then tinkering with their toys once the sun comes up?

Just like before the evidence is pretty light but the team declares paranormal activity and hauntings. I’m not sure feedback through a speaker, static on a recorder and a grainy photograph justify that determination.
