Ghost Asylum

There are some interesting things they find, but their efforts to communicate with the spirits they encounter are less than mediocre. I also find it incredibly sad and upsetting that they would go into a place, especially after praying to God, and then try to trap a spirit. I do not think it has ever been clearly stated what they intend to do with a spirit if they do capture one, but the thought of trying to force a spirit into an object or other such material prison seems, to be quite frank, cruel to the spirit! I know these boys probably come from a strong hunting culture, being from the South myself, but this is not a game. The dead shouldn't be trapped and drug back home for your amusement. That is not only asking for trouble but it is incredibly disrespectful to those who have probably not died decent deaths.

I enjoy watching the crew and love their accents and even if Chasey can be a little hard to follow he's adorable. I also love how Brannon tries to make a new "ghost trap" each week. It's ingenious and hilarious. XD

Admittedly it does follow similar traditions to other ghost shows, but hey... what else can you do that hasn't already been done? You take photo's, do EVP's etc.

All round good effort. They don't try to scam you with fake and over dramatised scenes like some other popular shows. Maybe some people like the over the top ham acting of other shows but I for one love the down to earth, no nonsense approach of this honest crew. Good job guys!

Surely producers can come up with better than this . Are they being paid?

It really is a joke trying to trap a ghost, asking is it you who died in the accident? Oh my whatever next. What with this and mountain monsters .seems like reality viewing has taken a huge turn for the worse. Come on let's have some real reality shows please,after all were paying to view or turn off. Ha. There's one thing they have got right they're asylum ,stark raving mad. Can't watch it anymore my sides are aching with laughing. Any new shows in the offing we can look forward to please?real reality ones?

The only saving grace about this show is the Tennessee accents of the Ghost Asylum team. But, you get over that and then try to get into the ghost hunting they do, but you come up short.

The ghost trap stuff they do is an adolescent fantasy. In fact, the whole show has an adolescent flavor to it. I've watched many episodes, well maybe five, and really tried to get excited about it. But, I couldn't. I found the team leader's showing off his buff physique to be offensive, pathetic. He can can hardly walk normally, he's so stiff. Sure, he's probably a super guy, but man, that bodybuilder stuff is ridiculous. Well, I guess better than being obese like the rest of the crew.

When I first saw the promos over the summer, I guess I held out hope that the show would be half history / half exploring or a narrative deftly weaving the two. Instead, we get a retread of all the other ghost/monster hunter shows, where the participants all act like they hear or see something- apparently ignorant that bad acting is not convincing.

dude, that door just closed by itself !

I love abandoned asylums, prisons and ghost stories (even though I don't believe in ghosts) Watch Session 9, do your own research on the web- and take your own tours if you are interested in this sort of thing.
