Paranormal State

I can not believe that you want to condemn the people of Paranormal State as they tell you they are trying to learn more about the paranormal. They utilize different beliefs or are you that close minded to only have watched a minimal amount of shows before passing your judgement. If you believe the show is silly then just do not watch it. I happen to never miss a show and I have seen much more than you write about. Remember to keep an open mind and you may learn more than you expect. I lost my 57 year old Mother and I have been wanting her to contact me. She does thru music. The day my Mother died she died in my arms and her namesake my 4 week old baby of the time, who was being held in the arms of the nurse, flung her arms out to the side and arched her back while being held by the nurse. I saw this and the nurse said wow what was that? I replied my Mother's spirit just entered the baby, no sooner did I say that then the baby gave us a huge grin. The nurse said if I was not holding her I would have doubted it.

So, I'm writing this after the completion of season one. I must say I enjoy it. I've tried to watch "Ghost Hunters", and a few other shows on hauntings, and have been turned off by all the scientific mumbo-jumbo. There's more to this show than a desire to debunk an occurrence. There's a very human aspect that is left out of those shows, but is found in "Paranormal State", and that is what keeps me watching.

As for the population that wonders if it's real, or feel as though the "evidence" or "facts" are being thrust at them, well, what do you expect with a show that is 3 days worth of investigation crammed into 22 minutes of air time? The show is more about the people that are being haunted rather than the events themselves, or proving something does not exist. Where Chip is concerned as a psychic, he's a lot more real than some others I've seen on similar shows.

To the Penn State PRS crew: Keep on keepin' on.

This show is cool.... whenever I see a show with Chip, then I know it is legit

If you have read a lot of bad reviews on it, you might notice that most of those reviews have to do with the lack of evidence shown on TV. I think that this show compared to other ghost shows, i.e. Ghost Hunters, Most Haunted, is a nice fresh look on paranormal investigations. Instead of just going in to gather evidence and prove whether or not a location is haunted or if the clients are fakes, they go in to help a client. They try to relieve pain and suffering, offer counseling, and try to find a way out for clients and their 'friends.' So if you want to watch a ghost program that aims to show the viewer evidence, watch Ghost Hunters, or if you want to watch a show that involves a client feeling relieved about a horrifying haunting, Paranormal State is for you. And being a fan of all three mainstream ghost programs, Ghost Hunters, Most Haunted, and Paranormal State, each has its own atmosphere. Most Haunted is more of an experience show, having a large group of investigators to go in and show you a 'haunted location' and show you what they found. Ghost Hunters is an analytical program, trying to base whether a location is haunted based on video, audio, and personal evidence. Paranormal State, as I stated earlier is a program going in to help a family needing help in experiencing a haunting. I hope you enjoyed this comment and maybe noticed the same differences I noticed. Happy Ghostshow hunting!

When ever I watch Ghost Hunters, and they talk about going to help someone, I feel like they never really helped them just exploited their haunting. I like Paranormal state most for the ways they help. My second most favorite was the evp box that translated evp instantly. I like Chip, think he adds interest. There has been a few stupid shows, like the college girl doing that game thing, and the Now Ghost Hunter Girls home haunting. I like Ghost Hunters debunking, it seems more scientific, but I love Paranormal researching much more. Too different shows two different ways. It would be very interesting to have Ghost Hunters and Paranormal State do the same place on the same show, and combine efforts. I would like to see each ones take on the same place.
