www.aetv.com/paranormal-state/A show called Paranormal state coming in December. I will reserve my personal opinion at this time because it it too vitriolic for a public message board. Day

Hay Day!
I have seen this. They have a flyer at a local bookstore I visit looking for anyone who has a haunted location and who would be interested in having it investigated and aired on A&E.

I watched the previews ... doesn't look too bad, really. But I'll have to reserve judgement for when I see the whole program.

there are a lot of groups out there on TV. I saw one group visit Eastern state. the bottom line is that like TAPS and others, a lot of creative editing happens.

What worries me is that they bill this as college paranormal investigators who also have to worry about grades, friends and dating. I'm sorry. Not to be rude but I didn't join SPRI for gossip on the members. I don't watch TAPS for their personal info. I don't know the names of their spouses! I watch because I want to see what they find. It kinda sounds like a reality TV Buffy. I want to know if they find something. I don't want to sit through personal crap. That's what I watch Survivor for.

What you have to keep in mind is that the Penn State group is made up of college students and when you take into account the MTV generation who are bombarded with reality TV, the majority of the target audience who will watch are probably going to be interested in the people as well as the show because that gets ratings right now-reality TV! I would guess that the show is geared to entertain the general public and not specifically for people who actually investigate the paranormal. I'm sure even with TAPS, at some point the ratings will fall and SciFi will tell them it's time to beef up the hauntings or they will loose the show. It's all about ratings.

I hate realty TV. I wish this decade would get over with already so we can have a new fave on TV.
The only reality TV show I actually get into is Chef Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares... laugh my butt off watching it most the time. That guy has got a pair on him... much the size of Kelly's on Halloween night.

I think it's an interesting show, but I sort of get the feeling it's a little fake. What I mean is they get a lot of creative editing going on. It especially annoyed me when he was talking about demons and how he wouldn't say the name. But, that's just me. lol I figured it out anyway. Overall, it's a good show to watch. However, I like Ghost Hunters and Ghost Hunters International better.

However, I like Ghost Hunters and Ghost Hunters International better. Well in my opinion GHI is the best on yet. I do enjoy PS but I am alittle biased to them. Here is why I am biased against them. A friend of a friend are the guys of ghostly talk radio. I was listening to there show one Sunday night about 2 months before unvicon which i was planning on going to anyway. well they had a contest giving away a gold pass and I won it. I was elated. Get to me Jason and Grant, Lorraine Warren, The Ghostly Talk Guys, Ghost man and Demon hunter. Was promising to be a very good time and be free at that. Well anyway The GT guys called me to get all my info and they passed it on to Topher who was organizing univcon and is part of PSR. Topher called me and got all my info and said I would receive my ticket with in 2 weeks. Well I waited and waited and it never came. I called Topher twice and emailed him 3 time and I never even got a response. Now I understand he was probably busy but come on at least send a man an email back. Well needless to say I never got my ticket. When the GT guys found out they where PISSED and I guess are still talking to them about what happened there from what they had said it was being billed as the largest paranormal conference, and all it really was was a launch party for Paranormal State. But I wasn't there so I don't know. But I trust the GT guys. Well anyway any "paranormal" show that is produced by the same people that made Laguna Beach I am kinda skeptical of. But to there defense , I have read and heard and I believe that if there is a demonic presence around and you give it acknowledgment it feeds it and gives it power but to each is own on that opinion Michelle and you thought you could rant LOL Later Eric and no comments about any proton packs from me
