Why entertainment TV shows about ghosts have destroyed credibility of true hauntings
July 8th 2011 03:59
There are many TV shows that have ruined the credibility of scientific research into the paranormal. The main one that comes to mind is "Most Haunted" a British based TV show that is suppose to "investigate" haunted locations. The show was canceled last year (2010) after 8 years on the air. The viewers finally figured out that most of it was faked, including the acting.
There are several videos on YouTube showing the main people on Most Haunted being rude to their fans and shouting down anyone who does not believe them. Other places like digitalspy have message forums that ripe with angry former fans that became sick and tired of the antics of Yvette and crew.
Another show has taken the time slot in England where Most Haunted was previously. This show claims to be more "scientifically" based..........we shall see. Since I am located in the USA, I have to wait and see if it gets picked up by one of the cable channels, otherwise we have "Ghost Hunters" and Ghost Hunters International" both have big budgets for new gadgets and equipment, both of which was lacking on Most Haunted.
I think that I quit watching Most Haunted when they started that old parlor trick with the tipping tables and the Ouija board came out. Scientific research was replaced by voodoo, superstitions and bad acting.
Yes, shows like that can quickly make ghost hunting into a joke. I am glad to see that it is off the air.
