Ghost Adventures: House Calls

Update - I saw the 3rd episode "Auburn In Hell" and must admit this shows getting bad quick. What a horrible 3rd episode! Whoever is picking these locations and people to investigate should be fired. And is Bagans going to seriously just FaceTime the group every episode? That was another horrible idea. This show started good but now sucks. The lady in s1e3 is a horrible actor and it's blatantly obvious everything happening is fake. You'd think they would try a little harder making it seem authentic. Huge let down. If I happen to watch the next episode I may update this but I doubt it will change. I was a GA fan but that's starting to change if this is what they turn into.

I would really love to see them try to help the family. It seems like they are only confirming presences...but not giving information or help in actually helping these families. Honestly, I would be even more terrified of living there and scared of not knowing how to fix the actual problem. I love watching the evidence but am concerned for the families. It is also REALLY weird that Zak is never there. We all started watching the show as we loved Zak but not having him on site is very odd. Is he ever going to come on calls? Still love Aaron but miss Zak. Love the one that shows the stick figures. Please work on making this better because it could be great.

While his team go and investigate these homes, he sits at home, watching on a screen, barking orders!!! He is rude, dramatic, & just over the top... I really miss the old shows. Everything from Zak is so scripted now. No wonder Nick left. This could have been a Fantastic show! Huge disappointment...another thing, I feel bad for these families! The crew go into these homes, provoking spirits, then just leave!!! Granted they give advice, but the least they can do is say a prayer. If this is the first show you watch by Ghost Adventures, please check out their shows when they first started. Big Big Difference.

This show is essentially another series of Ghost Adventures except they're visiting locations suggested by viewers.

It's ok at times, though I still have the usual complaints.

• Stop using the Kinect box (it's not useful nor does it work)
• Invite skeptics on to showcase the work

Zak needs to come back. But he also needs to stop claiming he is possessed and insulting native Americans.

I've been a fan of all ghost hunting type shows since I was a child and Ghost Adventures used to be a favorite until it seemed to become more scripted, with a lot more acting. I also really don't like the provoking... from other shows I've watched, provoking really isn't a great idea and can often make things worse. Season 1 ep 1, my issues with this series began from the start when they automatically assumed a demonic entity without actual proof and then proceeded to provoke. If the couple in this episode really were experiencing things in their home that seemed malevolent, I'm sure the team just escalated it and left the couple with it. It makes me angry for them.
