Ghost Hunters S06E18 Time To Get Touched reviewed

Thurber House - Columbus, Ohio

Oh no, Shaggy & Scooby are BACK! I guess GHA is all done shooting as the TAPS resident idiots have returned to the fold, Steve & Tango are back on the team. Sadly. And guess what, my complaints paid off! Jason has stopped saying his pointless & stupid statement about getting digital recorders to cameras. It seems that insulting someones intelligence does work then.

Jason & Grant in the Dining Room - Some actual debunking was done, I was surprised they didnt try to run up the stairs to compare & contrast the 2 different sounds. As far the clock popping open I'm not going to read anything into it, they were fiddling with it earler and it JUST happened to pop open as the Pilgrim camera guy had just gone past it? Fake? You decide. Please note the clock pops open off camera so any of the rest of the crew could have easily interfered with it & the camera mans "Oh my god" reaction sounds really underwhelmed & totally contrived. Whilst debunking Grant pretty much confirms the fakery when he said "It takes a good amount of force" so it was done by a human then.

Kris & Amy in The Parlor - I heard something that caused them to go upstairs.

Steve & Tango in the Dining Room - No clue what "movement" Steve reacted to, all I could was the clock ticking & the stupid incidental music & effect track. I certainly didnt hear the "shuffling" Tango reacted to either. I did note Tango fiddling with the "static" dvr camera they had placed on the table to monitor the clock, I wonder what he was doing to it?

Amy & Kris in the Gift Shop - I didn't hear the "popping sound", kinda hard to heard ANYTHING over the stupid incidental music it was THAT loud.

Analysis - Steve plays Tangos "Shuffling" which just sounds like one of the camera crew shifting his bodyweight on the wooden floor. Short playback of the clock footage.

The Reveal - They explain the debunk of the footsteps on the stairs, playback of Tangos "shuffling" which sounds even more like one of the crew moving, footage of the clock - amazingly the camera guy isnt actually very close to it. No-one is touching it but it looks VERY staged especially combined with the camera guys awful "reaction" acting. Its hard to explain but I'm sure given enough time it can be proved to be the fake it appears to come off as.

I did note on both investigations when meeting the client neither time was Steve allowed to introduce himself or shake the clients hand. Is he in the doghouse?

Jason & Grant on the 3rd Floor, Walworth Mansion - Grant finds a weird EMF reading by a wall then we hear a thud off camera (very convenient), which when they enter the room they suspect it came from sounds exactly like J&G walking on the wooden floor. Grant claims he heard a male voice then we got another thud. Grant shows he does know how to tag "that creak was me" but that "creak" sounded exactly like the previous 2 thuds so the sound is pretty much busted as human. I am still trying to decide if Jason stamped his foot seconds before he claimed to hear that final loud thud he described as feeling the floor move.

Steve & Tango on the 3rd Floor, Red Bedroom - After moving out of the room Tango thinks he hears chimes (I heard a couple of thuds which was probably just them or the crew but no attempts were made to tag any of them). As Steve plays around with the DVR he asks Tango if he tapped him, its great that Steve has so little trust in Tango.

Kris & Amy on the 3rd Floor, Walworth Exhibit - Kris cant make any claims about her hair as it happened off camera so has to be discounted, if its not on tape so it didnt happen. You know the golden rule girls.

Analysis - Steve getting tapped footage, playback of the voices J&G claimed to hear.

The Reveal - Grant explains the weird EMF reading, audio of the voices J&G claimed to hear (frankly the sounds are so quiet they could be anything), audio of the lamp chimes which you can bearly hear caught by Steve & Tango, video of Steves bad acting pretending he is being tapped. This is stupid, its just footage of one guy reacting to nothing. They also played the footage of Kris adjusting her hair, another stupid bit of tape of someone reacting to nothing at all.

These 2 investigations have got to have been 2 of the worst shows ever to have been aired by the Ghost Hunters franchise. I am starting to think they just want to make themselves look purposely bad or stupid. Surely no-one who has been in the paranormal field this long is this inept? With this kind of thing happening pretty much every week now you have to wonder how much longer Pilgrim will continue to fund the show or how much longer Syfy will continue to air it.

Even when shows are truly awful there will still be die hard fans sticking by them but when the show only has 8 people a week left watching it what will be the point of it any more?
