Ghost Asylum

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!

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.

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.

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!!

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.
