Destino Paranormal: Chamados do Lar

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.

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.

This looked promising, but alas. I think this crew need to sit down one night together, watch 3 x their early episodes, then watch a couple of the latest ones and see if they too can see whats happened to them.

They used to be a TEAM, there they were, with their quote 'old school' devices, a camcorder each, and all alone in haunted areas.. all working together as one.... now? They have a film crew following them around, a recorder costing 3k? Seriously? You guys need to eat some serious humble pie.

Zak, you are now an elitist, treating everyone as inferior, you talk down to everyone, and you never used to be so... personality'less'.

And not every spirit is evil.. you are an empath, so am I, so you will probably already know that a person without their body is pure energy, that pure energy, when close to us, makes us feel a certain way (like intense butterflies, and the very air around you feels heavy) , each person has different energy levels, like a bodied person, you meet strong and weak people all the time, no different when you pass... not everyone is evil, and you showed TOTAL disrespect to the dead here.

And you have been for quite some time. If you knocked on a random house, and started talking to them the same as you do to spirits, you would get a rather harsh response, its the same with the dead, they are us... just without a body, the same as we will be some day. If you spoke to me like that i would react just as harshly, its absolutely shocking how insensitive and bad mannered this team are to the dead, Aaron tried to be respectful in this episode, but zak was having none of it. Just because someone is dead, it does not make them a demon. Stop calling every dead person evil.. especially little girls. These kids are scared enough without your crass rudeness.

Bout time you looked at yourselves in the mirror, and become the good team you used to be.

This is my first review on the computer and I just wanted to say how much i loved this show! I watched it with my entire family (my sons PJ and Vixen plus my beautiful wife Tracy). Let's just say that Tracy was FREAKED out the entire time! PJ kept making fun of her and even trying to scare her from behind a couple of times! She even jumped out of her chair when PJ jumped out of our bathroom door, scaring her to death!

Vixen on the other hand stayed quiet the entire time we watched the show. At the end of the first episode I turned to Vixen and asked, "you okay, bud?" To which he replied, "Zack Bagans is what I wish I was and who I wish you were." That was the most words I have ever heard spoken from his mouth. His words raddled my bones. His words raddled my conscious.

For the past few years, I haven't been there for my family. I have been there physically but my emotional side has been completely absent. I know it's time to make a change. From here on out in my life, I will be joining the Ghost Adventure crew on all their excursions throughout America and Eastern Europe. They don't know it yet but I will be following them. I will be investigating with them. I will be locked down from dusk till dawn with them. I will be with them until my son Vixen is able to look me in the eyes and be proud of the father that he has.

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.
