Ghost Hunting/Adventuring

For fans of the show Ghost Hunters, there is a new documentary playing after this week's episode called "Ghost Adventures". A couple of investigators filmed at some of the most haunted areas of Nevada, including a site rumored to be "One of the 7 Portals to Hell". They even claim to have caught a full bodied apparition on tape. There is a myspace page, but naturally I can't link to it at work.
That out of the way; any other fans of Ghost Hunters here? I've been watching since the first episode and consider it one of the best shows out there. My wife likes it too, which is a huge bonus; we usually don't agree on most TV shows.
Do you have inspirations of being a ghost hunter, starting up your own group and checking the haunted locations of your city? Do you think the show is fake? Should Jason smack Brian for being a little douche? Anyone know what the unexplained six month delay was about?
Edit to make it more a "I *noun* this show and others like it" thread, and less another "lawl God, religion, personal beliefs" thread.

However the shows are usually pretty entertaining.
Why is it silly? I realize that some people find the idea of ghosts silly, but why? Is it the idea of the human spirit? Or is it the idea of the spirit not moving on for some reason? Would it be as silly if a ghost was commonly thought of as energy caught in a natural loop?

it requires not only belief in an afterlife, but also that there can be some sort of flaw in that system which leaves certain souls on earth. these souls are extremely hard to see or experience at all, and apparently can only be caught on really shitty grainy film.
I mean, I don't believe in ghosts, but in the right environment, your imagination tends to overrule your reason, and it's a good fun time finding creepy shit.
Even Hollywood IR still sucks ass.
The idea that it is just energy caught in a flux does away with the afterlife part of the equation.

It is silly for the same reason that believing in psychics in cornerstores and bad-luck black cats and tarot cards and crystals to cure cancer and magnets that cure mortality is silly.
I had lights go on and off, doors swing open and close right in front of me, stuff moved around...lotsa creepy stuff.
I'm as "logical explanation" as the next guy, but that place was sweeeeeet.
It also makes no damn sense whatsoever.
What is this
This doesn't mean anything
It sounds like something Geordie says in an episode of Star Trek to explain the current technobabble problem they are experiencing
The theory being like data caught on disc, being replayed. A Residual Haunting

I think I know the one you're talking about now
But there's really no scientific explanation that matches that theory
There's not really much energy in the human body, and there's nothing that makes that energy special (nor anything that would make it visible).
I think that to believe in ghosts, you have to really want to believe in ghosts.
Myself, I've always wanted to go and do that sort of thing. I'm half skeptic, and half believer, and that mix has had me curious forever.
I'd love to do an overnight at the Winchester Mansion in San Jose. LOVE it.
What's not to get?
It's clear that what he means is that the human soul is simply a bioetheric energy field laid over the matrix of our neural pathways. When we die, that matrix is removed, and sometimes our souls get caught in a subspace disturbance, resulting in 73% damage to the structural integrity fields.
Lights going on and off? Poorly wired/maintained wiring.
Doors swinging open and close? Strong breezes or pressure differences in the house caused by other doors opening or closing, or air conditioning/heating units.
Weird sounds are generally animals in the walls.
Also the simple fact that if there was a such thing as ghosts you'd think they'd have better things to do than dick around with random people by slamming doors.
I guess I am silly.

That's ridiculous. Damage in that proportion would disturb the integrity of the bioetheric field to such an extent that it would splinter according to the Evans-Wilhelm distributive properties.
There are people who believe in ghosts who weren't exactly looking for a reason too.

That is true; some people are, in fact, crazy.
I have yet to hear of someone who believed in ghosts because their family was murdered by a poltergeist who got into the knife drawer or something.
Not in the slightest. The only way the integrity of the bioetheric field is disturbed is through subspace warping, and that only occurs in response to naturally occurring Rosenbaum-Reichstag high point energy reanimation principles.
Jesus, you could at least read "A Brief History of Endothermic Bioelectric Fractal Fields" before you start spouting shit.
Clearly you are misinformed, since ABHoEBFF was written before the Dracip's pioneering efforts in the field of bioetheric disruption, which showed that the stability of the field is dependent on a host of Bjornsfeld vectors. In fact, the bioetheric field is a steadily decaying wave function once integrity descends below 60%.
Asshole.
I was unaware that Dracip had demonstrated the dependency of the field to a sufficient degree to justify an outright acceptance of the Bjornsfeld vectors. But, I will concede that the wave function decays, though I disagree with your assertion that it occurs below 60%. I think 70% is a far more accurate figure.
You win this time, fuckwipe.
That said, I think the whole thing is pretty fucking retarded, but whatever.
Back home there was an awesome "haunted hike" walking tour of the downtown - lots of ghost stories but also a lot of interesting local history. I always enjoyed it, and the guys who lead the tour are awesome presenters.
There is such a haunted walk downtown here in Ottawa, is that what you are referring to? If not that is weird
pleasepaypreacher.net
Aside from their craptacular website, I'm 99% certain that it's awesomer than anything you have in Ottawa :P
Besides, I have had my own personal experiences enough to justify my belief.
So if a ghost fought an alien who would win?
Hey man
We have the Canadian government
oooOOOOOOooooo
terrifying
Aliens are plausible because it just requires conditions to cause life somewhere else in the universe. Ghosts are implausible because they are impossible.
Nothing is impossible! Watch as I strike a match on this bar of soap.
So Unicorns and Dragons exist, just on another planet?
Probably so. I imagine it might be easier to find virgins than over here.
The disscussion for belief in ghosts seems to be going the way of belief in God; a pure charlie foxtrot. Sadly, I can not right that ship.
Thoughts on the show perhaps.

Man that dude's ghost tours are a drag. I'm all waiting to see some orbs or apparitions or hell even a little EVP, and all he'll do is drone on about how he stole a peach at one point but later put childish things behind him.
Fuck that guy. I'm doing Crazy Tom Aquinas' Ghost Tour next time.
Which one did you go on? The one we did went through the cemetary, the old wood shop, and the jailhouse.

Totally, people who say they know things they can't prove either way are complete morons.
oops
Perhaps it's silly to be quite so convinced there is nothing going on outside your own little take on the universe.
Enjoy your next trip to the psychics convention
