Haunted Hospitals

I watch these shows as a reprieve from daily life. What starts out as something with potential loses it quickly. Ghosts with white faces dark circles. Growling n hissing etc. I have seen many in my life never have I seen them look other than how they did before death. But very healthy. Maybe this is for shock value. Loses it for me after 2 episodes. Nothing new nothing intelligent. Generic.

So the Travel Channel recently ran marathons of Paranormal 911 and Haunted Hospitals. Well I like a good ghost story especially if it's told by the people that actually experienced it. Well both of these shows must be produced by the same people (Canadians according to their accents) and were dumb enough to have the same "actor" telling different unbelievable stories. In one he's wearing a 3-piece suit claiming to be a federal policeman for homeland security and in the other he's wearing a knit shirt claiming to work for a funeral home transporting dead bodies. Really??? This stuff is so fake it's pathetic!!

Why is there always just 1 witness always giving their account of their interactions? Many of these stories tell at least 2 people in countering some of the same interactions with the witness- having both would make it more believable- sharing their experiences separately and together. Did they experience the same, have they experienced separately- anyone else experience these things- more witnesses- to the same haunted hospital makes it more believable.

The witness accounts and recreations are fine. What blows it are the so-called "experts" and their ludicrous observations. It's like they're auditioning to be the next Captain Obvious. Totally pointless and devoid of any actual insight. If you need this, you're not paying the slightest attention to the story.

What are the minimum qualifications to be a paranormal expert anyway? For this lot, the title seems self-imposed.

The shows are fun, believe what you will.

But, I find it interesting that tv producers think their "experts" are more believable if they are foreigners and speak with an accent.

The evil spirits always have dark eyes, too.
