I find the stupidity of such shows to be embarrassing. I can’t watch stupidity. Fantasy and sci-fi are one thing, this idiocy packaged as reality is truly cringe-worthy as far as I’m concerned. I can always find something else to watch.

To be fair, they aren’t _really_ looking for one.

I mean, that’s the part of the set up that annoys me. “My team and I are bringing in a bunch of pseudo-science crap and we are going to spend a WHOLE WEEKEND looking for this ghost!”

Hell, live people could hide from these bozos in that house, garage, hotel room, outhouse for longer than that. Even if there was a _actual ghost_ there, what are the odds it manifests in that little tiny window of time they have allotted?
