Ghost Hunters Halloween special 2010 reviewed

Buffalo Central Terminal - Buffalo, New York.

Tonights host is Josh Gates from Destination Truth & his co-host is Allison Scagliotti from Warehouse 13. "And for the 5th straight Halloween welcome to Ghost Hunters Live", well Josh you've been on air 15 seconds and you've already lied to us. Nice going! I guess TAPS have been reading my reviews (and my complaints) & have more than 2 people per van. Only 2 vans though, their very new and look extremely expensive.

Van 1 is carrying Jason Hawes, Grant Wilson, Amy Bruni & Barry Fitzgerald from GHI.
Van 2 is carrying Steve Gonsalves, Dave Tango, Kris Williams & Adam Berry (winner of GHA Season 2)

Hotspot walkthru, Steve gets to shake hands for a change. I dont recall the main TAPS team investigating here but the GHA cadets investigated on show 4 of Season 1 and found nothing at all.

Josh meets the special guests who are:-
Ben Hansen from Fact Or Faked (the former FBI agent)
Meaghan Rath from Being Human (a US remake of the BBC3 show)
Kofi Kingston from WWE Smackdown

Allison in the Interactive Centre.
Josh in Central Command for the camera walkthru, Jason officially announces Kris Williams will be joining GHI.

Jason & Grant in Tony Fedele's Apartment - Grant thinks he hears footsteps, Jason tags wind noise, Grant gets a thermal hit which is debunked as reflective wallpaper.

Barry, Kris & Ben on the 3rd Floor - Claims of seeing stuff during setup & in Fedele's Apartment also. Someone needs to tell Ben we dont require a running commentary. Cut back to J&G who ask for a noise & get one, too convenient. Grant is scared by a window. Grant think he saw movement at the end of the corridor, the "human" shape I thought I could see turned out to be a doorway (I think its about time some one invented a thermal camera with a zoom lens on it). We can hear a VERY loud generator, that'll be contaminating audio for the whole investigation then.

Steve, Tango & Kofi in the Trolley Lobby - Crunching through a LOT of debris, you'd think someone could have taken 5 minutes to run a broom through the areas where they thought they were going to be walking. It doesnt take a genius to figure out thats a good idea especially with the amount of glass it sounded like they were walking through underfoot. Steve shows he has zero clue about his or anyone elses personal safety by trying to access a clearly unsafe area. Steve thinks he hears a voice, they try to debunk it as an echo. Its not an echo. Kofi plugs Smackdown. Steve makes his 1st stupid bet to encourage Tango to do something dangerous. And these are the 2 guys charged with training future TAPS members?

Allison in the Interactive Centre with Amy, Jason & Grant - J&G tell us how stupid they are by continuing to investigate in the dark (demonstrating none of them have the common sense most folks are born with), Amy is on the live web chat.

Barry, Kris & Ben on the 1st Floor - Who not only have no clue we came back to them they have no clue we even left them in the 1st place. Please note Barrys graphic identified him as "GHI Lead Investigator" so I guess we now know who got promoted after Britt Griffiths got fired. Bens sticking with the running commentary, you'd think Barry would have told him better. The sound Barry can hear is the very loud generator I mentioned earlier, Kris cant understand Barrys Irish accent which doesnt bode well for their future investigations together.

Jason, Grant & Meaghan in the Main Concourse - They tried to use the K2 to have a conversation, nothing happened. Meaghan freaks out getting a K2 hit. Cut back to Barry, Kris & Ben doing something with a laser. Ben sees a light behind the camera, not very useful. Score another point for helmetcam. Lots of audio contamination from outside, I'm pretty sure that was Josh shouting for quiet.

Tango doing playback of audio evidence in one of the expensive vans then back to Allison with Amy in the Interactive Centre.

Barry, Kris & Ben on the 1st Floor - Barry asks for noises, anything would be drowned out by the stupid spooky incidental music. Again Barry asks for a noise but gets one this time.

Steve & Tango on the 3rd Floor - And we're also getting the audio from the previous location bleeding through, I guess Kofi got sent back to the showers.

Josh interviews Adam Berry winner of GHA season 2, clip of an upcoming episode with him in it from Sloss Furnace & we're told Meatloaf will be in it as well.

Jason, Grant & Meaghan in the Main Concourse - And their checking out the Ticket Booth & have the laser grid set up, Jason thinks he hears a scuffing noise like footsteps. Meaghan definately wins the 5th Wheel award as well the winner of the World Boredest Person expression.

I got about 14 mins into part 2 and lost the will to live. Here endeth the review. If anything happened after this I really dont care.
Kinda makes me wish I hadn't bothered.

I guess at least we got confirmation of Kris joining GHI and Barry becoming GHI leader anyway.
