My husband and I are DIE-HARD fans of Ghost Hunters. TAPS is the ONLY show that I've seen thus far that provides a scientific approach to Ghost Hunting, free from Psychic or religious use in their investigations. We've grown to truly love the family that is TAPS, and look forward to each and every episode with a fever.
When we found out that Ghost Hunters was going "International" well, we couldn't contain our excitement. We live in England, and know well the haunting and history over here are centuries old. I have to say that we were taken back by some of the veteran cast's attitudes while in Europe. Rob was fabulous. He was professional, and kept things in order to the best of his ability. He was wonderful. Barry, who had guest starred in previous episodes with the TAPS team was one of our favourites, had once taught other investigators to respect entities. Brian who has been through a lot of emotional stuff with the former TAPS crew, had finally been given his "DUE" we thought. Donna, the wonderful and professional "family" case manager, was a perfect touch to this team, and Shannon seemed to have wonderful prospects. Andy is Andy, and always will be.
What ended up happening, I don't know. But rosary beads came out, less equipment was being used, peoples personalities got crazy with each other and with potential spirits. Propery was not respected either. We would make a bet as to how many shadows Brian would see in each episode. My husband and I ended up watching the show to have a laugh. Something that didn't make us feel good about ourselves or the show.
Then again, we still tuned in, and they did have some amazing EVP recordings. We do hope there will be a "reunion" episode where Jason and Grant will give them ALL a "dressing down" for their behaviour in Europe. (*Except Rob- who always remained professional).
Thanks.
