Usually it depends on how the reveal goes at the end. Sometimes you can just tell the person isn't surprised they found nothing. Those are the ones where I wonder if it was all just made up for promotional purposes.
Another thing, when they do investigate a home, sanitarium, something like that, and they don't find anything......sometimes I wish they'd stay one or two more nights and keep investigating. Just because you didn't get something one night, doesn't mean there's nothing there. I had that happen at the place I lived in.....there'd be a couple of days when nothing at all happened, and then wham!
That's always my biggest gripe too! Six hours in one evening doesn't mean there's nothing there. I don't see why they can't spend a couple days someplace. Expecially when it's an old prison or hospital or some other vacant building.
They still have full time jobs too though. I would think by now they could make a living at this. Sci-Fi Channel must not pay much
Yeah, I don't understand why they still working either. G-gal and I discussed this once, and she said she thinks the people that are asking for the investigation are paying the cost for them to go wherever they have to go. But still, with a show on tv, you'd think they'd be doing all right financially so they could afford to give up their day jobs.
Since I've been off work over the summer, I usually watch it every Sunday night after JD's shows. I'm too keyed up after his shows to go to sleep, so I tune into that for an hour before I go to sleep. My youngest daughter loves to watch their New Year's Eve day marathon.....runs all of Dec. 31 and Jan. 1. She's a Zoner!!
And I didn't even need to use the Song Name thread.
Yeah, every now and then I'll catch an episode of T.Z. that I haven't seen before. Some of them are kind of lame, but others really are pretty good. When I was a kid, my mom wouldn't let me watch it.....she said it was too scary for kids to watch. I guess at the time, it was.
One of my favorite episodes was the one where the earth is supposedly moving closer to the sun, and every day it's getting hotter and hotter, never gets dark out anymore. A woman and a younger girl are the only two left in this apartment building. A guy knocks on the door, asking for water, they let him in, then are sorry they did. Come to find out, the young girl was dreaming the whole thing because she's so sick from the frigid cold. Instead of moving closer to the sun, Earth is moving further and further away, constantly dark, freezing cold temperatures.
A killer is stalking women that are at home alone while their husbands are at work. Radio stations are warning women not to open their door to anyone without knowing first who is on the other side of it. This one woman is really frightened, and begs her husband not to do to work. He gets angry with her, tells her he has to work or he'll get fired. She finally lets him go. Her landlady comes to visit her...talks about the killer just enough to frighten her some more. The young girl is calling around, trying to get a chain put on her door, but the hardware stores are really busy putting chains on and tells her it will be a couple of days. Finally someone knocks on her door.....she asks who's there....guy identifies himself as someone from the hardware, here to put a chain on. She lets him in....phone rings, husband is on the other end, telling her not to let anyone in, police said the killer is gaining access by identifying himself as an employee from the hardware, there to put a chain on.
Oh man, I can't believe I missed all this ghost talk!!!!
Definitely count me in on ghost hunting. I've always wanted to go, but never had anyone to go with.
At one point, I probably could've taken my best friend, but then we tried Bloody Mary one time and it freaked her out. She was having a sleep over, and we decided to try Bloody Mary. We went into her bedroom, blocked out all the light from the window, shut her door, and sat in a circle around this big mirror she had propped up on the floor. We sat there for a while chanting "Bloody Mary", and then I saw a woman. It wasn't Bloody Mary, or at least what I thought she looked like, and I can't really saw whether or not she was in the mirror. At that point, I really wasn't paying attention. But I wasn't scared, I felt at peace. I think I said something, because all the rest of the girls ran out of the room screaming, but I just sat there. Someone came back in and dragged me to my feet.
There's tons of places at IU that are supposedly haunted, but I've never really heard any first hand accounts of them. I take those with a grain of salt.
But there's a cemetery in Hoosier National Park called Stepp Cemetery that's not far from me that I've been to. I've only ever gone in the daytime, and one time I even went alone. Every time I go there, I hear a buzzing, like there's a bee following me just off to the right side of my back. Most of the graves are old and barely readable. It's a pretty creepy place, even if it's not haunted, it's a cemetery in the middle of a forest. And if you take a trail leading off of it, there's some broken headstones discarded off to the side of the trail. The newest headstone says, "Never At Rest." There's tons of stories about that place, including one about finding the "real" cemetery that's somewhere off of the public one.
