GHOST HUNTERS and GHOST HUNTERS INTERNATIONAL - General Review

SciFi Channel - Orignal Air Dates: 2004-8

The most famous of the current "True Supernatural" shows, these shows are quite good. Some of the science they bring to bear (EVP, EMF) is a bit dicey, and much of the suspense is created by over-excitable investigators. But -- when not going for the ratings -- the TAPS teams bring a reasonable amount of scientific investigation and skepticism to bear. They're at their best when debunking, though occasionally obvious solutions seem to slip past them. They also need to do a better job of controling light sources, some of which may be responsible for the fleeting shadows often seen by the group. The first season, where TAPS' standard for declaring something "haunted" was very high, was in some way the best. But I'm sure "haunted" houses are better for ratings.
