April 7th #AtoZChallenge G is for Ghost Hunters and Ghost Adventures, for all you Ghost fans!
First before I start about my rambling of how much I love these two shows, I must stop and say these three words…
Happy Birthday Isabella!
Today is my daughter Isabella's 12th Birthday! Sob, sob, sniff, sniffle…. Ok compose yourself A.D. …The blogging must go on!
G is for Ghost Hunters and Ghost Adventures. 
I must confess, I am a dedicated fan to these two shows and admit thery are also programmed to be recorded on my DVR every week. Really A.D.? Yes Really. Why do I like them you ask? Well… because I just love being scared! Well saftely from my couch is preffered. I don't know really … The paranormal world fascinates me! If you're familiar with these shows, you'll understand. If not, then allow me to educate you ! :0) Maybe you don't have to watch the show to get the idea, maybe you're already a belieaver or maybe, just maybe you want to be…
We all love ghost stories, it's a fact. You're familiar with the ones even I've grown up with, you've heard it or told it. Those urban myths that you tweak a little more to get a better fright when you tell around the campfire, at a sleep over or just to scare the poopy out of your little brother or sister. (yes, you know who you are…) Even the ones who scoff at the "ridiculousness of believing such mush" still find themselves intrigued with a ghost story. An ear will always perk up to hear the scary tale. Oh there is a guarantee after it's told they'll have to declare "It's all hogwash!" (Ok maybe not using those specific words) and give a roll of the eyes or the shake of the head at you. But still…
At least I think so. There is that teeny weensy tiny bit in the back of their mind that still wonders… We wonder if there really are spirits that roam the world. We wonder if that bump in the attic above, while lying saftely tucked in your bed, frightened, is really a mouse. Nah it was a ghost! It had to be… we want to believe it is, we want to be scared and we want to be intrigued…right?
These shows are interesting, their intriguing and they could very well be "hogwash", but no matter what, I'm a believer. Maybe not of every single thing, but I do and for personal reasons that make it sense to me. I love these shows more than "grits and cheese"…
Ghost Hunters (Syfy channel) http://www.syfy.com/ghosthunters/
From the show: Contact between humans and spirits from the afterlife is not as far-fetched as is it seems. As plumbers by day and ghost hunters by night, Jason Hawes, Grant Wilson and their team have worked to track down the presence of paranormal across the country.
As leaders of The Atlantic Paranormal Society (TAPS), both Jason and Grant have made it their life's mission to help anyone with questions pertaining to paranormal phenomena and ghost hunting. TAPS is a group of fairly ordinary people fearlessly working to understand seemingly unexplainable disturbances.
This airs every Wednesday night at 9/8c (Season 8 starts April 11th) (This will also be Grant's last season:0(
Pop some popcorn, grab a pop and curl up on the couch, you'll enjoy it! Grant and Jason tend to be calmer, collected on their approach. They go in trying to "debunk" the claims. The idea is evidence, not speculation.
Ghost Adventures- (Travel Channel) http://bit.ly/svmOpC In this series there are three guys at the helm, Zak Bagans (leader), Aaron Goodwin and Nick Groff.
Web blurb:
Are you ready for the lockdown? The "Ghost Adventures" crew — Zak Bagans, Nick Groff and Aaron Goodwin — is back to investigate the scariest, most notorious, haunted places in the world.
The trio will interview eyewitnesses and historians at each location, arming themselves with the stories of the ghosts they will later provoke and confront during their dusk-to-dawn lockdowns. (Note: They don't always come out unscathed!) Then they'll review and analyze their findings with some the most respected experts and specialists in the paranormal field.
These three are bold, brave and crazy! Their approach is more of "in your face" kind of attitude. The lock themselves down (lock inside place of investigation) and with only Nick or Aaron holding the camera, they investigate. They go in with the same approach as the Ghost Hunter guys and do try to "debunk" speculation, but they also have some gadgets the Ghost Hunter crew does not use. They use a device called a "spirit box" and catch ghost voices on it! Is it real? They say it is and stand by it. How about watching it and decide for yourself…. Oooh weee oooooh…
This show airs every Friday night at 9/8c.
Well thanks for dropping by and Happy Ghost Hunting!
