Is Ghost Hunters Real?

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Is Ghost Hunters real? The famous TV show presenting adventures of former plumbers, and now professional ghost hunters (?) became a great hit in the whole world, reaching even my small country. But how legitimate are they? Do they really investigate the paranormal, or is it just yet another TV show made for money?

It’s hard to give the ultimate answer. The Web is full of speculations and gossips of different sort. Some people assure that the show is legitimate, others mention different proofs for the team faking the evidences.

Rumors in the Web

Quite some time ago, Javier posted an article ranting about paranormal TV shows. At the same time, one of the most popular posts discussing Ghost Hunters “fake” has been posted on Hollow Hill. Finally, recently Courtney from Haunt Jaunts received an interesting email from one of her readers.

Forums and blogs are filled with discussion about Ghost Hunters real or not, and even if I intend to put a little bit of my own point of view to the discussion, let’s face the truth - as long as the show brings money, we won’t learn the truth.

Real Investigations?

I’m myself member of paranormal investigation team, I know the job. And I’ve seen quite a few episodes of Ghost Hunters. My opinion is quite simple – at first it was quite interesting show in which few guys were investigating paranormal activities. But then, the ratings begun to fall, and the producers said “we need to increase our ratings”. Perhaps it was the turning point, when real investigation turned into reality show with faked evidences?

It wouldn’t be the first time something like that happened to paranormal show. Most of these experience the same problem, as the sad truth is – it’s all about the money. No money, no show.

Expert Opinion

I believe I can talk as an expert – are the investigations the TAPS team showed in Ghost Hunters legitimate? At first – they were. But with time, it begun to smell awful, because each time they went on the trip, they encountered something weird. It’s statistically impossible ;) . Some of their research methods became too weird for real paranormal investigations. As it all would be made just for the audience. Was it all made up?

How do these guys find haunted places to investigate and how the heck do they always find a place that is haunted, hmm?

The Man Who Contacted Me

I don’t know anything about original Ghost Hunters methods, but I can say one think about Ghost Hunters International. Two months ago, one of the story producers contacted me (apparently I’m the most famous paranormal investigator from Poland in the English-speaking web, cool), as the team was looking for some haunted places in Poland.

The producer was asking me to find some haunted places in Poland – it didn’t worked well on my side, none of the places I’ve suggested agreed for the team to come and shoot the show :( . But I know one think – they do not seek sites that are only “powered by gossips” – they’re looking for really haunted sites, that’s why they’re asking local investigators to help them out.

But on the other side, they’ve shoot a show in Wolf’s Lair, near Kętrzyn, Poland. And do be honest, I’ve never heard that this place is haunted, not even a single rumor or urban legend. So again – I’m stuck with the opinion.

Is Ghost Hunters Real?

I don’t know, and honestly – I believe no one really knows the answer to this question. Ghost Hunters is  a TV show, and because of this, it should be threated with caution when it comes to believing it to be legitimate paranormal investigations.

We don’t know  where the investigations end, and money starts…
