I am a big fan of “Most Haunted” on the travel channel and “Ghost Hunters” on the Sci-Fi channel. I also realize that both of those shows are purely entertainment.
I always get a big kick out of the fact that both shows like to turn off the lights to do their “investigation”. Let’s face it – the only reason they are turning out the lights is to make it more dramatic for the cameras. Ghosts don’t care if the lights are on or off. Humans have poor eyesight at night, so turn off the lights and see if you can see things that aren’t there and scare yourself silly.
Maybe one day we will get some REAL paranormal investigators on TV, until then we are stuck with the cameras with night vision.
