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.

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?

OK, I get it, it's a stretch they may ever catch a ghost, but hey, at least they're being creative and other then just recording evps, they're coming up with inventions to remove bad or evil spirits. I also find their faith refreshing and they're amusing too. They rib each other and seem to be humble southern boys. Their evidence is just as good and compelling as the other shows out there but they have added these other couple elements to their investigations that add depth and make them all the more endearing. Imo, at least I'm not being subject to the same boring investigations that have been on way too long and egos that have chased not ghosts away, but other members of their team!!

This is one of the funniest shows I've seen in years. I tape the episodes and show them to people because they don't believe me when I tell them about them. My favorite is the limestone water pump ghost trap where the "wraith chasers" put a canning jar with a piece of limestone in a net in a fish tank full of water and "trap" the ghost in the jar by running electricity through the water. Of course the guys have to lure the ghost to the ground floor as they don't want to have to lug the fish tank up the stairs especially since the chasers/numbnuts filled the tank before they thought about carrying it up. They then urge the ghost to jump into the tank telling him/her/it that "it's just like a jacuzzi" Also funny is the leader in a muscle shirt checking out his guns (arms) when they discuss releasing the ghost back at their headquarters/garage in Tennessee. You gotta watch it.

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.
