I hate most ghost hunters. I can't help it, I just have an intense loathing for these over the top psychics that dress up elaborately and speak in these sugary tones to a stale house. They take pictures and come up with orbs, oooh! Ahhh! My gosh it's a GHOST! No... no it's probably dust from this old un-touched factory reflecting the light of the fuckin' camera.
What's more, I can't stand it when they start babbling on about how they've been touched and how special they are, cooing to the cameras and swaying moronically as they pretend they're communicating with a spirit.
Now this isn't at all to say that I don't believe in spirits, evil and good. But I don't particularly care for these people in their forties and fifties who charge a fortune to walk into a home, do some over-the-top show and say 'yeah, sure, you have ghosts. Oooh! *waves hands*'
What I DO enjoy watching is 'Ghost Hunters' which is a show on sci-fi. Now while yes, it too is a little over the top with its chilling music and mood-setting cinematography, but I much more prefer their approach to situations. They spend more time trying to disprove and shaking their heads saying 'no, no, no I doubt it, no.' It makes things far more delightful when they can't prove something wrong, when they find things that aren't quite so easy to explain, instead of just walking into a building, screaming and moaning to the ceiling and then charging a fortune. Those are ghost hunters I can get down with. And they're fairly tattooed. Yum. And 'Ghost Hunters International?' Tattooed guys with accents?
Oh my! Yes!
This just all came about from watching 'Airport,' another really interesting show, and they had one of those old couples with the sugary-sweet woman with too much jewelry come in and wander around the airport looking for ghosts. I'm sorry, but that's just asking for attention, especially when you walk up to these people who are waiting patiently for their flight and wave some random contraption over their head and say: "Excuse me, I'm looking for ghosts. Do you have one? ... nope! Okay, thank you! Tee-hee!"
