I watch the show for entertainment value (it's on right now actually), but never take it too serious. Rose and I enjoy tearing apart every little "paranormal" thing that happens to them. It seems like the show started out with the crew legitimately wanting to find actual paranormal activity, but they got caught up in their own popularity and fortune, so they had to take it up a couple notches by exaggerating things. I honestly think they're staging some of these phenomenas to make the show look more interesting, keeping the ratings up, and preventing them from having to get real jobs again. I'm a total skeptic when it comes to ghosts.

I have been watching the mini marathons they have been having Jason and Grant don't scare easily if they see an orb they dismiss it as dust They would rather debunk anything if they can Jason hates to admit to haumtings So no there is no way possible something is made up BUT there was one person on the show I hated because he was a showoff and it was ANdy and I notice he isn't there anymore

And even if those two are on the up and up, some of their crew might be making noises and causing some of paranormal "phenomena". Like in the Queen Mary episode. They thought they caught video footage of a bed spread being pulled off of a mattress in an empty guest bedroom that they were video-taping. When they reviewed the tape, they noticed that there was a CUT in the footage where someone had snuck in, paused the camera, and set up a rig to pull the bedspread off. One thing is for certain though, I will never believe in ghosts just because some people that I've never met say they exist. I have a very big family, and absolutely none of us have ever had anything remotely supernatural happen to us. That's good enough to me.

I can't believe you an open minded person would say there is no such thing
I did see one about 15 years ago
I was working at a store called Rickel Home Center
I worked in the back getting all Defective merchandise out and getting the store some credit back for it
We had a blackout and in the back where I am it was pitch black
I took off out of my little room with a flashlight and headed out to go upstairs to the second floor of our stockroom where the generator was and the only place in the store that still had lights
As I got near the stairs I notice this guy at the bottom of the steps that I didn't reckognize .He seen me and flew up the stairs
I went up after him and at the same time security allready on the second floor (the distirict office for security was up there)
Well anyways they were headed to the generator and got in turned on
I then asked them if they had seen somebody run by them
They told me they had seen nothing but me come up
Even to this day I remeber what he wore
Oh a few years after this happened I worked at another store called Caldors
The Rickels I worked at was bought and was turned into Nobody Beats the Wiz
An ex employee who worked there for The Wiz eventually worked for me at Caldors another defunct store told me while we were on break one day of the strange things that happened there
So you see there is something
Just keep an open mind

The only ghost I believe in are Blinky, Inky, Pinky, and Clyde. ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) How do you know someone WASN'T sneaking around the Rickel's while the lights were out? Or maybe being in the dark in an unfamiliar location made your mind play tricks on you. It's called the "power of suggestion". It happened to me all the time as a kid, I'd see things if I stared into the darkness long enough, essentially freaking myself out. As for other people you know saying they've seen ghosts or had supernatural experiences, perhaps they were just screwing with you. That's what people do, they make up stuff to get themselves more attention and to make them seem more interesting. I think it's just as weird to believe in something like ghosts without substantial proof. Not to say the paranormal shouldn't be studied, but I wish people would stop assuming the paranormal is all about ghosts. I also think the investigating should be left to actual scientists, and not weekend warriors with video-cameras and thermal detectors, tilting at windmills. And for the record, I don't believe in psychics or alien visitations/abductions either. I do, however, believe in Mr. Hankey! ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png)

I did see someone and when he ran up the stairs the security guys seen nobody come up as there were headed torwards those stairs because the staors were near the generator
When I first spotted him he was only about 10 ft from me
I hate to say this but....
If you can't see it ......It doesn't mean its not there

I like that show! Although I will say it does seem like they are having more "happenings" than before, so that does make me wonder if they are adding stuff... you know! I hate Most Haunted, its way to fake for my tastes!
And for the record, I do believe in ghosts. Try living in a 100+ year old house where I know at least 3 people died in. You tend to believe when living in a place like this... Not to mention the experience I've had before too!
