My take on things are that i was a big believer and i do believe in the haunting but after last night on the live show with that guy throwing the EMF Detector no more i will watch these guys make money off scaring people. i've had the most respect for zak, nick, and aaron but no more. i thought they was in it to find the truth but i guess they wasnt getting enough veiwers or soemthing and had that guy come in and act like the EMF Detector flew out of his hands and then reading on how many people say there was a ghost in him to make him do it..what crap. i'm going back to Paranormal State at atleast they are out there to find the truth instead of just puttin on a show. i guess thats what Ghost Adventures are all about and was about the whole time. For me and my friends that sat up all night watching that bad acting jobs they was pullin, we all feel the same way and will not be watching or supporting a fake show. thanks for nothing.
ok please listen to what im about to say concerning cowboy rob.
he was a GUEST on the show. i have never seen him before in any episodes. i dont know if they knew him beforehand or not. BUT , rob's actions are just that. rob's actions. it doe NOT mean the guys or thier producers told him to do that. i honestly believe he acted 100 percent on his own. zac confronted him after leaving the building. he hadnt seen the tapes yet where the throw was caught on tape so his ability to confront was limited. this is NOT the team's fault and does NOT in any way dioscredit the rest of the show. only that portion with rob since we now cant trust what he was claimin to the guys was the truth.
it was horrible what rob did. he HAD TO have known it was easy to catch that on tape and prove he threw it. he is smart enough to build a dang tesla coil for christs sake. so why did he even bother?? that is the real mystery. did he purposely sabatoge thier reputation???
I went to youtube and watched the video where robert threw the emf detector. I thought it looked funny but I was so tired when I watched it. Someone mentioned youtube so I went to look and it was definitely fake. I watched how he held his hand and flicked it. When Zak confronted him he was retelling what happened and he was trying to show what happened and he held his hand down not up like it was when it happened.
I don't think Zak or the guys realized that that clown was a fake! I still plan on watching the new epi's. What I am concerned about is that I hope that they have become so popular that they do not turn into another GH. I know these shows are for entertainment, but I felt GAC really had some good real evidence. If they become fake like GH I will be so disappointed. Hope they stay true to their own style of investigating.
Being a new viewer (and a skeptic), I'll admit I know very little about the "science" behind what they are doing. Something about the whole EVP thing makes me think this is all fake.
The man and woman who appeared on the live show doing "live" EVP sessions used what appeared toi be digital voice recorders that would record "spirit" voices speaking and answering questions. If I understand correctly, this works because the "spirits" are communicating through the white noise poicked up by the recordind devices. These sounds can apparently not be heard by the naked ear.
However, we were all watching a video feed of this live EVP session, which was being filmed with a digital camera. Why were we notable to hear the EVP's live over the TV feed, since our audio came live from a recording device, which was also recording white noise, rather than our naked ears? Shouldn't we have heard them as they occurred, before the team played back the recordings to listen for them?
The spirit and entertainment of these three guys IS real. That hasn't changed no matter what kind of marketing surrounded them on the live show. Their hearts and minds were in the exact same place and that is what makes Ghost Adventures so appealing.
I enjoy their personalitites and their banter and their spirits and will continue to watch and embrace every *DUDE, did you SEE that?*
I don't think Rob Bess will be able to ruin GAC reputation. I hope people realize that this guy was a guest and not part of their regular show. I am looking forward to next Friday nights show.
I've got to call them as I see them, and Zak, although I love your subject matter, it would serve you well to watch an episode of "TAPS", they do a much better job of staying "O.B.J.E.C.T.I.V.E" You get so emotional that you lose your objectivity, and every sound, dust ball, and garbled EVP becomes something paranormal. You need to try and disprove the evidence or at least explore alternative explanations in order to render your evidence truly paranormal. Also, you have to limit the number of people you bring to an investigation so that you can control the environment that the investigation takes place in, so that what happened the other night ,with your guest Rob, doesn't happen again. Your show lost a lot of credibility because of that stunt and it hurts the efforts of other paranormal research teams who take a much more objective and scientific approach to understanding the paranormal.
Ussula, I totally agree with you. Think about what was one of the first things Bess said - about when he turns on the Parabot, you would be able to see dozens of spirits walking around the hall. I don't know about anyone else, but I didn't see one spirit roaming those halls, much less dozens. When it didn't happen, he had to save face. I personally don't think the team was involved in his antics; and that's why I'm anticipating the post-mortem show next week. For me, if GA want's to save it's credibility, they will completely throw out Rob's segment. If they don't, you have to question the shows ethics. We will find out next Friday, for sure - if not before.
yes , hopefully they take the time to carefully review the ev idence and carefully ponder what the official comment will be. it is unfortunate that segment must be thrown out but that is what must happen to save thier own credinbility. also if they make a dvd to sell they cannot cut the segment from the dvd or they will lose credibility because the segment still did occur. if they truly had no involvement then they have no worries.
I agree that Bess' actions did make me lose a little respect for the GA team. I realize they probably had no part in it however, to allow someone like that to come in and investigate with them is poor judgement on their part. Also, when Bess was "pushed" in to the wall I immediately thought he was faking it. At the end of the show when Zak questioned Bess about the device "knocked out of his hand" Zaks words were something like. "tell me about the device being knocked from your hand because there is some controversy about it" Bess said that his arm was bent "like so" and it was just knocked from his hand. If it was knocked from his hand then why did his fingers open to let it go. the only thing that moved was his wrist and fingers. If it was knocked from his hand, his whole arm would have moved.
he did not throw it , his wrist flicks forward from the sheer speed it takes off out of his hand , he is a old guy and noway he could just flick that emf 50ft with his hand only without moving his arm ,
I don't think they guys have any control over guests of their show. Guests will do what they are going to do. They guys can only control themselves and each other since they are friends. I unfortunately think that rob threw the detector and his overexplanation at the end is typical for someone who is guilty. We still love the team though. ZAK! don't submit to any travel channel corporate influence either.
i can see where it would be tempting for the corporation of the travel channel to persuade the guys to fake stuff to make the show more mysterious and exciting to get more viewers. but that is the path of ruin! dont give in if they ever try to make you do that. the guys would be the ones to take the blame and the fall if they were discovered , not the channel even tho the channel had told them to do it. thier careers would be over. be brave and strong and be sure to remain honest in the future.
