Ghost Nation

Now I used to love Ghosthunters. Jason and the team always tried to debunk the haunting first. They used their knowledge as plumbers and common sense dictated some experiences were down to outside forces not necessarily paranormal. Yet they were always helpful, humble and informative. The new Ghost Nation is different. The guys come across as arrogant and quite rude in this season, Rather than help the person or persons experiencing activity, it's almost like they are screaming "It's al in your head"! They don't offer any closure or help with the spirits. They almost say "Oh you'll be ok" "There's nothing here" or "It will go away". I believe they should use a Psychic or someone who is able to help the spirits rather than moving on to the next "haunting" without any piece of mind being given? Plus its so clean and mundane. Get some humility back chaps and start helping people rather than exploiting their vulnerability!

I was not impressed with the premiere show. When this trio was on the old "Ghost Hunters", there was an obvious effort to debunk. Now we see a heavy reliance on "talking to ghosts" with their alleged response to flashing lights to conclude that the ghost of so and so was present. Likewise too much emphasis is placed on EMF evidence.

Please, please STOP the terribly annoying loud, creepy music and sound effects! It takes away from the total viewing experience and definitely makes you think that they're added to "enhance" weak evidence!

I love the original Ghost Hunters. That was a truly groundbreaking show and was the catalyst for all the other ghost shows that have followed it.

However, the new Ghost Nation is a let down. I do love how they delve into the history of each location, but it seems that the outcome is always the same. "Nothing is malicious here and you have nothing to worry about".

One positive thing I will say is they don't over dramatize events and sensationalize things like Ghost Adventures. Could Zak Bagans be any more of a drama queen? This is much more realistic and low-key than Ghost Adventures.

I also miss the chemistry between Grant and Jason. They were a good team together.

TAPS was one of the first spirit investigation shows. The problem with TAPS was that they had a very cavalier attitude toward their "spirits" and did not take full advantage of the tools available at the time. Now that they're back as "Ghost Nation", they are STILL not using all of the tools available now. Also, they continue with the same attitude (often joking) during an investigation. DUH! Don't you think the spirits catch on to that? And the questions they ask are SOOO ridiculous: "Hello?" "Are you there?" "Please knock or make a sound." REALLY??? On Kindred Spirits, Amy and Adam ask meaningful questions and use better, although sometimes simple, tools. They get better responses. The whole time I'm watching GHOST NATION I'm screaming, "Use the yes/no flashlights:", "Ask their names!", "Get more EVPs!!" This show comes across as these guys who just think it's fun to play in haunted houses and get an occasional knock on the wall. I used to like them, but they are SERIOUSLY LAME! Watch Kindred Spirits instead.
