Ghost Watchers - why pretend to be plumbers?
SFTV_troy
fixing the plumping on an air conditioner. WHY? They've already
admitted duriing a Syfy special that Roto-Rooter put them on
indefinite leave, so they can focus on their TV show. I don't see the
purpose of faking to be plumbers when they no longer do that job.

Maybe the air conditioning really REALLY needed to be plumped, so they were
helping out. If a friend asked you to fix the plumping on *his* AC would
you tell them no? Would you? WOULD YOU, TROY, YOU ANTI-PLUMPIST, YOU!?

Which actually should have been right after it was proven that they
were faking evidence.
I can't even watch the show anymore because I don't know which bangs,
thumps, and spooky images are 'real', and which are faked. A real
bummer, when GH used to have a reputation of being one of the few
paranormal shows that WEREN'T rigged.
I watched last week's show and the whole thing consisted of various
team members whispering, "Oo! Did you see that?" "Oh my God, I felt
something touch me!" etc. Puncuated with the ever-present "I heard a
knock!" exclamation, in old houses where EVERYTHING knocks, thumps,
and groans, all the time.
My recent favorite was when they went to this huge old abandoned
hospital and freaked out every time they heard shuffling, or movement,
or rummaging noises. Apparently nobody in this group has ever lived in
an area with raccoons! Of course, in the old days of the show they
would have dismissed such vague noises as wild animals because of
course - they're in a huge abandoned building, there are going to be
animals in there. But not these days - they need the ratings, so
every odd noise is a ghost, no matter how mundane the obvious reality
is. Bummer.

*blinks* They're back to pretending to being plumbers? I
thought they stopped that charade after season two when it was
patently obvious they weren't remotely plumbers to begin with.

Most of the paranormal clubs and groups where they were
organized from, call them fakes and charlatans. None of their work is
real at all. So treat what you see as fake.. Just as fake as WWE.

Uh... Stephen Gonsalves was a police officer in Rhode Island.
And we have plenty of raccoons and skunks up here for that sort of
thing to register.

Okay, there are actually people who *care* that they faked evidence?
Of ghosts?
Why in the world would any sensible person care? Any evidence is
either mistaken or faked. That's known ahead of time. So why does it
matter? If faking some evidence makes it more entertaining (?!?)
then why not? The show is clearly fiction from the inception.

My only experience with the show is through a podcast that in fact does
care, "Skeptical Viewer". They wanted a show that actually took the
subject seriously, even if that means they never actually find
anything. For awhile they seem to feel maybe the producers are faking
stuff to punk the hosts, but when they find clear evidence in the show
that one of the two is doing the faking they seriously get pissed :)

I watched one ep of GHI 'cause it was Halloween and they were at some
variation of Dracula's castle, and they explained they were going to use
the super science of 'triangulation' to find Dracula's ghost and then
... proceeded to explain 'triangulation' thusly:
3 of them would wander off randomly and listen for Dracula's ghost
whispering to them. Whoever heard him the loudest would yell 'me me'
into the walkie talkie and the other two would run to his position ...
problems with this plan:
1) how do you know who has the strongest signal?
B) how do you know where the others are?

I care because there IS paranormal sh*t out there, and it would be
interesting if somebody caught evidence of it. That's all.

Have they stopped plumbing completely? I remember the first few seasons and
they worked for Roto-rooter as their day job. The Ghost hunting was done
on their own time. I actually found a few episodes amusing where people
were hearing strange noises and our heros tracked it to things like a toilet
valve running or knocking pipes that weren't anchored well. :)

I don't actively keep up with them, but I recall someone who does says
they went on "indefinite leave" from Roto-Rooter with the option of
working for them again at some unspecified point in time.

yank chairs around for the camera, but I see nothing approaching proof
of that.
I agree that there's real stuff out there. I've experienced it. I
have no worthwhile opinion of Ghost Hunters because I haven't seen
enough of it.
