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.
This show was rushed, and relied heavily on surprise cuts to commercials (When it came back from commercial, the noise or "surprise" was something simple like a mouse) This is a pure rip-off of Ghost Hunters and it attempts to go "beyond" them, and fails miserably. Also, what is with the Directors log thing? Is this star trek? It just ruins the novelty of this show, which wore off quick. The only reason it's been watched is that people want to laugh at the pure anti-climatic nature of it. They never find anything, and most likely never will. Funnily enough, they always point out something that is the thing they are "hunting" and guess what?! It's the local radio station's tower light that is blinking red!
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.
I actually enjoy the characters but the show is so rushed that you don't get a chance to get engaged. It leaves you high and dry. It barely starts to get interesting and then it's over. I find that frustrating!! The team seems a bit non cohesive but I like the fact that they are so kind to their clients. It is appealing to watch the "Dead Time" segments and it would be nice if there was time enough to explore the back story in more detail. Some of the trainees need more personality development. The experts that are brought in are very fascinating and I'd love to see extended scenes with them. The leader seems to be a caring individual and it would be nice to hear more details about his childhood paranormal experiences.
I like the show but the background music is SO LOUD it's very annoying! Cant hear what they claim to hear. Cant even hear what they're saying. All I hear is violins and crazy loud drums!!
