Yeah, sure, "Brenda in PA". I believe you as far as I can throw you. You know some skeptics & conspiracy theorists will eat up what you're
saying like candy. People LOVE a conspiracy so the smallest thing someone comes up with they instantly believe. I for one am skeptical about Ghost Hunters
myself, there are many many things I don't believe or question BUT those who try so hard to come up with all these supposed secrets are grasping for things
that just sometimes simply don't exist. The first guy's long thread about all the things he felt he picks out that are soooo wrong. He's going on
assumption, not fact. Not to mention he doesn't even know that the guy with Jason is GRANT & not Steve, he knows so much about this show yet
doesn't even have the correct names???? TAPS does in fact go to locations for muc MUCH longer than a few hours or one night. They are there sometimes for
anywhere from 3 days to an entire week. Sci Fi cannot possibly fit that amount of time into an hour show. This is a solid fact that has been around since way
before Sci Fi came along. The show IS entertainment, it's what it's supposed to be. The show "ghost hunters" was created by Sci Fi. TAPS
is a whole other area of the spectrum. Many forget that the entire idea of the show is to follow the LIVES of people who investigate the paranormal, it is
not, & never was, supposed to teach others how to ghost hunt or show others how it is done. It is a reality show. Reality shows, despite their title, are
NOT reality, they are pure entertainment. There are many things TAPS does that is not shown on camera, therefore leaving holes in stories, theories, &
creating fuel for the fire of conspiracy theorists. We only see what they want us to see, however many other things are involved. We may feel they didn't
investigate a particular area when in fact they actually did but OFF camera, the show IS edited down in time for television remember. And of course money is
involved. What idiot schmuck would do this on tv if no money came into the mix? Of course they are getting paid for this. The vehicles they use however are
not their own. Sci Fi loans the vans, SUVs, etc to them for the show only. They don't muse these vehicles all the time, they don't own them, they use
their own vehicles when doing an investigation not on tv. Not all homeowners want to be on tv either therefore there are many investigations we never get to
see. There are many things we don't know about therefore it leaves it open to those who like a juicy conspiracy theory. Gotta love those theories, some
people will believe just about anything if it makes for a good story. Like I said I too am skeptical about alot, BUT I also know that there isn't some big
bad secret thing going on. I mean really, if the show is that unappealing to where it gets to the point that someone feels there is malicious intent going on,
why bother to watch? Why bother to complain about it? Just don't turn the show on, very simple. I like it because its intent is to ENTERTAIN, it's not
some how-to show & they're not asking you for your money, but please don't make assumptions when there is no solid proof. And if you believe just
anyone who comes on here, like the mysteriosu Brenda from PA, then you'll believe just about anything from just about anyone who comes on here claiming
anything. I could come in & say I was a homeowner who had gtheir home investigated & I was threatened by TAPS & make all types of
accusations.......you'd believe me? I'd believe someone face to face knowing they were legit with avisible form of credentials knowing they were
involved with TAPS way before I believe just anyone with a monitor & access to the net without proof. I guess the conspiracy theories & mystery posts
on the net go hand in hand. If you believe words on a screen who claims to get death threats from them then you'll believe just about anything. I'm
sure there's a grassy knoll & magic bullet involved here too.

Also wanted to add that there ar quite a few TAPS members, not just those seen on tv. Money is involved but not enough for those members in Warwick who do not
want to be on tv. There is a slew of them, Britt, Brent, Bill, Joe, Gregg, Jason (not Hawes), Matt, etc etc. We would be led to believe those shown on tv are
it, they are TAPS, but not so. As for not going with TAPS and choosing a local group, tons & tons of those local groups are already part of the "TAPS
Family" & are listed on the TAPS website, yes local small paranormal investigation groups. So best bet if you don't trust TAPS & want to go
local, why bother since so many are already affiliated with TAPS. You'd have to get them & then find out beforehand if they're not a TAPS family
member. Anyone who knows anything about TAPS would already know this before just suggesting to just flippantly go out & find a local group. Also, the
original long winded claims by that guy about the show-this is something that has been circulating on the net for eons, it's been up down & all around
recycled, changed, or changed to fit a particular website or forum. It's not much higher than a chain e-mail. It's old & has seen its day, I
believe at one point the small "story" was even debunked online but of course that was hushed up very quickly by the conspiracy theorists. Not
everything has a story behind it. Hard to believe but true. Even myself, especially with the last current episode, have issues with some things. Such as
hearing suposed footsteps on the stairs. It was an old house, you'll hear all types of those things in older homes. Doesn't mean it's a haunted
house like they claimed. Yes things are trumped up for tv, but that's just it, it's TV not reality. If you want reality, watch the news, but
don't think you'll be getting it from a science FICTION channel for God's sake, & then complain it doesn't look or seem real......Good Lord
people!

I really appreciate a good debate and this is great. We are hearing from clients of GH saying stuff happens that I never would have dreamed they would do. and
we are also hearing a wonderful "if you don't like it don't watch it". Angie74 brings some valuable points here. And I have read up on some
of the local groups in Iowa. As a matter of fact, the Carroll TAPS group will be investigationg an asylum in Southern Iowa soon. I think for the purpose of TV
and ratings, which brings about money and noteriety, dramatization is going to happen. and who doesn't like a little antagonistic plot here and there.
It's good tv too. Would you watch GH if it only showed the actual ghost hunt, no drama or conflict with team members, and more than likely no ghosts?
Probably not. But add in a bunch of guys with different personalities and some drama amongst them and you got some good Tv. I think they do find some ghosts
once in a while and it scares the sheets out of them. But as those of you who have hunted the spooks know, you aren't going to find them on a regualr basis
to show on tv.
I am saddened that Brenda in Pa is being harrassed and had a bad experience. I hope things work out for her and her family. But it still is good tv to have even that debate going on because here we are reading about it and talking about it and I am sure it has been posted on other forums, so people will go back and watch the reruns and dvd rentals to see what she is talking about so, media attention has again been given. Great for ratings and that means money for the GH team.

Hi Angie74. Welcome to the board. Glad to have you on and have your opinion. What I would like to know is how do you know so much what TAPS and Ghost Hunters Scifi? Are you a close friend, part of the team? You seem to know alot about the show that most of us don't. Is this from other people talking? What I think is that people can believe what they want. Are we to believe everything you say? So who should we really believe? We have one member on one side saying something. Another member on the other side saying something. Why should we believe any of you? Please give us a little more info on why we should believe you. Yes, I watch the show for entertainment but still I have comments about entertainment of any kind. I love the show and try not to miss it but we have different opinions about the show and that's what makes it great. I like your opinion also |

well,it seems funny to me that angel showed up and posted about Brenda and then left us.I mean,here we told Brenda there would be no judgment here,and here
comes some.true,we dont know either of them,they both say they know things that we dont,and they both just popped in to post one or two comments and then left
again so who do we believe.I just like the that we have interesting debate going on.Brenda used to post on the scifi board long ago and she had all kinds of
good things to say about the taps guys so either something has happened since then,or maybe she really ISNT brenda.I dont care either way,Im not going to jump
on someone and call them a liar right away Im not going to do that to either of you.

Very interesting to say the least isn't it. I've noticed this has happened on any board where people don't believe TAPS. These trolls come and try
to be nasty and call people liars. Hmmmmmmmmm

I thought their names were Jason and Grant....Steve is a cop, not a plumber. A mere oversight I am sure.

Funny how when someone is called out as a troll that in a lot of cases they never return... The ones who do are usually kids who like stirring the pot more.
