I know we have our favorites, but there have been a new slew of paranormal shows lately...
Which ones have you seen and what did you think?

Ghost Lab.
I have seen a couple of episodes and on the whole it's not bad.
They have some interesting ideas (a couple of which I would like to try), but (in the episodes I've seen) they are very quick to say that there is immense paranormal activity at their investigations.
And score another show for a big guy with a beard and a brooding face. It's just a matter of time before I'm discovered.
Tom.

I've seen Ghost Lab and I agree with you. Some investigations they were too quick to label stuff as paranormal. Another one I saw was called The Haunted. It's on Animal Planet. It's more from a pet's view (pets haunted or sensing, etc). I saw another one but I cannot remember the name. I only watched that one once. They call themselves paranormal detectives or something similar. Maybe that's in the name. I forget. I don't recall the channel it's on.
Paranormal State...I don't bother watching that show anymore. I don't watch ghost Hunters anymore. Everything is demonic with Paranormal State. As for Ghost Hunters, it is proven they have started to stage their findings.

Michelle, That is so interesting that you say Ghosthunters have started to stage their findings. Are there articles about it. I would really love to read it. I have always regarded GH as the Holy Grail of paranormal shows and would be so disappointed if I found out they went against their ethics for money and a larger audience!!!

not sure of any articles on GH faking things... but Donna that used to be with them was on a radio show and basically admitted to them doing it (without using the words for fear of them coming after her). I'm still trying to cope w/ this fact.. )

Yes, Donna was on a radio show and admitted they've started doing this. I've also seen clips on Youtube that shows one of the things that moved and it was actually rigged with a piece of fishing line. You can probably find out tons of information by googling "Donna LaCroix."

You're welcome. I think there was a video or two on youtube about it.

It did become evident that after the 2nd season GH became more and more interested in scare value and ratings. I did originally blame this on their production company.
In any case, I don't watch anymore either, mostly because it is no longer entertaining for me.

Has anyone watched the new show Paranormal Cops?
I have not seen the show, but it is about the worst name I have ever heard.
As if somehow we could impose laws on the hereafter and then actually enforce the law.
Bad, bad, horrible, dumb, the list goes on and on.
OOh how about this for a new show:
Paranormal Supreme Court: Where we take the ghosts that the paraCops capture and we decide whether they get reincarnated, become a spirit guide or go to hell!
I'm sure that there are people who would watch it.

Has anyone seen psychic kids? I alsohave seen the "haunted" one place was in the Pocono's I believe it it called the Black Horse Inn. This morning we were watching the tv show Supernatural and my other half said why does it seem every time one of these shows about paranormal/supernatural take place in PA. Has anyone else noticed this.I wasn't paying attention to the show sine I was on the message boards here.

Oh yes, I have seen that once Tom. That's the show I was referring to. It was bad. I didn't make it through the entire episode.
I've seen Psychic Kids. I like Chip. He seems genuine. I think that's why he isn't on Paranormal State anymore (or is he still on? I don't watch anymore).
