Haunting: Australia

I am a die hard Ghost Hunters fan, and then also became just as hooked on GHI. I was upset when Rob Demarest left that show. He was always very credible and level headed. So upon seeing this new show that he is in, I was so excited. But I am so disappointed in Rob for even appearing on this show. His "hand-picked" investigators are all wimps! I can not believe how many times they back out of a room because they have a "feeling". That is when you go IN! It is just a very hokey show compared to the Ghost Hunters and GHI shows. I also hate the way that it is filmed, I really don't want to look up anyone's nose "Blair Witch" style. I wish they would bring GHI back, but if not, then at least get Rob off of this show so he can do a show where everyone isn't backing out of rooms constantly and he can do what he does best, go IN and investigate!

What is there to watch here? Self-videoed "experts" running away from their own shadows, self-proclaimed psychics pumping out the same bilge that any Halloween party medium could spout, 0% hard evidence of anything paranormal, over-dubbed sound effects where viewers wait for real audio to manifest itself, and a grand wrap-up at the end where everyone congratulates themselves on finding...nothing. I'm surprised that Robb Demarest is involved with this junk. He's already earned the respect of investigators and audiences from his previous years with quality productions. After a decade of Ghost Hunters the bar is set pretty high, and this claptrap deserves to be dead and buried with no chance of resurrection.

This is a great new show in the US. The production values are outstanding, far better than most of the paranormal shows. The investigators are credible, well developed, and articulate. The story is interesting, and intriguing. The show avoids the hokey tricks to most paranormal shows, and is interesting as history as well as a search for manifestations of of the spiritual world.

After being a fan of Ghost Hunters International, I was disappointed to see that Robb Demarest appears so little in the first episode. While some viewers criticize him for his rigorous standards of observation, I have always had more faith in him. He seems to bring a powerful integrity to the investigation. His long history in the field means that he is less likely to be led astray by stray phenomenon.

The explanation of the technology is clear and through. The international character of the team adds depth to the show.

I can't wait for next week's episode.

i was very excited to finally see a paranormal show on my TV that was done in Australia! I missed the first episode unfortunately, so started with Geelong jail episode. I'm very excited to see Ian back on my TV screen after seeing him on most haunted for so long it's great having him back. i'm really impressed by the evidence that the team got, especially the photograph and the video, that was amazing! its also great to see that there are Aussie's on the the team and not just internationally recognisable people. I Can't wait to see the rest of the series. I hope that they dull down the background music and noises and it interferes a bit with the viewing as sometimes I wasn't sure if that was the real noise or just sound effects and music added later. The format resembles most haunted (an English show, but that's cool. A great start.

Well, narrow mindedness people shouldn't watch this show, especially not for laughs ! Usually a sign of being frightened by the unknown like ghosts. NO ONE knows what happens after death, so we don't know who'll get the last laugh ! This show is ok, scared investigators unfortunately which doesn't help, there are a lot better investigation shows on the subject out there. So, not impressed....
