I have seen REAL orbs (have one caught from our home surveillance that we believe to be one of our departed kitties, it rises up from her grave, travels up the tree line, is seen going in the window, mind you this is in broad daylight & then about 5 - 10 mins. later is seen coming out of the same window & whooshes up into the sky!) & have seen, heard & felt (not psychically, but physically) ghosts. Unlike a lot of investigators out there, I do believe there to be evil/demonic forces, but they are not as rampant as some folks think. GH has gotten a bit too big for it's 4 legged britches & instead of allowing for there to be less obvious "proof," they'd resorted to what I feel to be total horse puckey. Whether you love GH or hate them, you cannot deny that things have started to get hokey since Jay & Grant took over as executive producers. I highly suspect when the show opens with them "working" as plumbers, it's all for show & to get some more $ from Roto Rooter. GHI is also quite farcical & should be scrapped ASAP if GH wishes to keep feeding the public the bunkum that makes them "believers." As for the other shows, it will be interesting to see where the future leads them as more & more of the public becomes interested in the paranormal, but if there is to be a show on network TV, that's one I'll avoid due to the fact that it will undoubtedly be chock full of hokum.

Orbs? "Well your groups shows orbs!" 99.99% of Orbs are nothing but dust, but I don't have a problem showing an orb under the right conditions and it has to be corroborated with other evidence. If someone just felt a cold spot at a certain area, or someone thought they were touched and its the same area that the client has had possible anomalies then there is nothing wrong with showing an bright orb that is moving at 90 angles. Come on people its time to move on from the great orb debate and lets catch same great evidence! As far as the plumbers go?(and their learning disabled fans) THEIR day is done. THEY'RE no longer plumbers or investigators, THEY'RE actors! Once they hit TV they probably always were. Is that the big insult now?

I got more than I asked for and kept digging. The woman, Brenda, from the first episode has been trying to tell people for years that TAPS is full of it but nobody would listen. She is the voice on the EVP. I have never searched for proof of ghosts but I do have personal experiences. Could someone please have a forum that requires the use of spell check in posts? The fact that posters are incapable of knowing that "there", "their", and "they're" are not interchangeable is bad enough, but when someone is too lazy to spell words that even look close to what they are supposed to be, it's impossible to take the poster seriously.

If they would just give me an educated response or comment--whether it be critical or supportive--it does not matter. As long as it is respectful. Disrespect me and it will come back 10-fold. I think too many in the paranormal field just roll over and take the abuse. No more. And for petes sake, they need to get their story straight before opening their mouths. As far as the television thing...I am all for groups getting the field into the main stream, and TV is the best place to hit the main stream. Unfortunately the "one bad apple" syndrome carries alot more weight in paranormal. We are just sick and tired of people outside this field shooting off their mouths when they have no clue.
