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!

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?

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.

So I watched the first episode of "Ghost Asylum", which I'm calling Duck Dynasty meets Ghost Adventures = Ghost Busters?

You gotta be kidding me... I started out not very happy about this, but I gotta say I liked the solar panel ghost attractor idea... and gathering up old hospital trigger objects, that's called doing your due diligence... this might not be so bad after all...

We'll see, this is just the first episode, and if it does well it could get a higher budget and start to utilize more creativity they have up their sleeves.

Only time will tell. Being the show is on Destination America, a channel dedicated to the paranormal, my guess is they will be able to throw a budget at the show and see how far it can go, the way they do with many of their other shows.

Capturing ghosts, trapping them in a faraday cage, releasing the capacitors in a peaceful place so they can cross over? Intriguing... I don't think a paranormal investigation show has ever done that before...

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.
