Haunted Collector

I really don't understand why most of the comments on this show are so negative. To me, everybody seems to be acting very natural and unrehearsed. That is one of the main points that I like about this show, the fact that it seems to be unrehearsed and natural. I also like the fact that they are not just investigating, but actually trying to help people with their haunting problems. The main problem is that they connect every haunting to some type of object, which I understand is the whole idea behind their show. But but I really think that this is one of the more honest ghost hunting shows created. If they made a few little tweaks here and there, I think the show would still be on the air.

This was a poor attempt by SyFy to keep the Ghost Hunters' fans watching on Wednesday nights. The Haunted Collector was dull. The "investigations" seemed fake and the team leader was tedious. Cut the interesting parts out of Ghost Hunters, play it at slow speed and garble the sound and it would be about the same.

I don't blame the team entirely. The show was edited poorly.

As you can tell I am a Ghost Hunters fan. I like these shows. I watch them all but not this one. It is the first time in a long time I've had to change the channel from SyFy on a Wednesday night. Help SyFy! Give me something worth watching!

This show is WAY better than the ones like Ghost Hunters or Ghost Adventures where the people mainly walk around in the dark and scare each other - "Oh, I felt something" or "Did you hear that".

I like Haunted Collector because they try to rule out things that give false readings, go about their investigation in a planned, organized fashion, and do both day and night investigations.

While I'm not convinced any of the items are truly haunted, at least I feel like I'm watching someone who's trying to do a professional job and not just jumping on any cheap scare they can come up with.

It may be a little dry and procedural for your typical "ghost show" viewer, but I find it far more believable.

I recognize that the plethora of paranormal series which have infected television are totally bunk. As are the nonsense about Hoax Island, the Kilchers, the Pawn Stars, and all other "reality" TV.

However, for some unknown reason, I enjoy "Haunted Collector." Oh. sure, they use the same devices whose legitimacy have not a droplet of empirical evidence. And they cut to commercial at moments of high suspense, only to result in nothing. And they even have ridiculous situations, as in Puerto Rico, where a 16th century Spanish ghost is supposed to understand Modern English.

Nonetheless, I enjoy the actors and the premise of spirits attached to objects, even though that's bunk too. Sorry it was cancelled.

I found this show very slow. John Zaffis seemed very well rehearsed and not really reacting to the situation, worse then that he was boring. I'm not saying this to be mean but his voice is like nails on a chalkboard. His children, who work for him, seemed to only be there for a paycheck and his team, though I am sure they are capable, provided little. It simply was not entertaining. There was also something about the way it was either filmed or edited that left me believing it was not spontaneous. It made it hard to get the good scare you want from a supernatural reality show. I didn't believe they just found the items. It seemed like Mr. Zaffis knew what he was going in to take before he started. It didn't seem new or fresh. More like Ghost Hunters Light. All the formatting, non of the thrills. I watched the whole thing but I lost interest very fast. I don't think I'll be watching again.
