Destination Fear

One would think after doing this for years, their nerves might harden. Yet they are always screaming. While recording the undetectable, constantly screaming at every noise seems counterproductive. Gets really old, really fast.

The audience can barely perceive the sounds, because one second later, all they hear is "WHOAH", "NO WAY!", "DID YOU HEAR THAT?". And, the camera is always on their faces, never the surroundings. Perhaps they could use some lessons from wildlife photographers.

I get that it is "about fear", but the premise also states that the fear induces paranormal activity. Ok, we got fear captured, how about getting some of the paranormal on tape?

In one episode, they talk about their car being trailed for 2 minutes by a UFO, yet Dakota didn't get it on film. Can you imagine being a paranormal documentarian, and honestly admitting that? For 2 whole minutes, the holy grail was was right there, and neither of you tried to capture the moment? I call BS.

They get paid, receive exposure, and travel to do all of this... the moaning about it all seems disingenuous. Few dozen episodes in and lots of adventures; stop faking it.

My husband got me into the show but one thing we both agree on....the fact that every single time they hear a noise....they scream over it and run....is so aggravating. Watch a few episodes of Ghost Hunters. They will show you how to react and attempt to learn from the sights and sounds you experience. TAPS may show surprise or excitement at a sound or vision but they don't panic. They don't scream.

Stop screaming!

That is all.

Chelsea screams too much. As long as yall have been doing this, I would expect more decorum and professionalism. Then again you model this show around zac bagans and he's a total narcissistic goony googoo.

Update: The newest season has given me hope. They are using more equipment. They are catching evidence finally. Chelsea is still a annoying but not as much. They still run around like kids before the investigation still. But during the investigation they have gotten better about it. Looks like zak bagans is setting up the new generation of ghost hunting.

They walk around the investigation sites like teenagers. They do not use any equipment, every once in awhile they use a recorder. The female screams and cries any time there's a noise. So you can't hear what's going on. They rarely do play backs, so you can hear it. When something does happen, they just freak out and move on. They do not go and investigate where the sounds or lights come from. I feel they are not true investigators, they treat this like an opportunity to get on TV.

The getting scared and running away is going to get old quick. I could watch YouTube videos of kids trying to get an easy scare for screams.
