These shows retold the story and kind of left it to the watcher to digest what was presented.<br /> Most of the ghost hunting shows are lame at best. Even when the hosts do find something they hedge their bets when talking to the clients. And that one show with the guy that gets possessed every other show is the worst.<br /> Fact or Faked seems to operate on the idea that if it COULD have been faked it probably WAS.<br /> Perhaps it is the money that keeps them from real research and clear discussion of the facts. After all a program that just showed the reports and videos with commentary and solid opinions by experts would be more like The Debunkers than The Defenders.Sargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04038947773327250058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11558306.post-51667014796396162272012-02-04T19:04:30.114-08:002012-02-04T19:04:30.114-08:00It's TV.

I...It's TV. Doesn't that just say it all? <br /><br />If any of these shows ever actually found what they're purportedly looking for (ghost, big foot, ufo, etc.) nobody would tune in next week, much to the sponsors', networks', and production companies' chagrin.<br /><br />It's one thing to watch these shows as brain candy after a hard day. It's another to take them seriously. If the latter applies to you, a reality check is in order.purrlgurrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06519835482606629362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11558306.post-71850090723215583782012-02-03T11:06:41.343-08:002012-02-03T11:06:41.343-08:00All of these "shows" prove P.T.

But, those days when information was considered a driving factor in the production values of the shows are long gone, sadly.<br /><br />The trick, nowadays, is to sift through the dross of "Oh my god, its a 'squatch!" to find the grain of "That's an interesting visual image that we can't explain".Rayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11913249654073313601noreply@blogger.com
