My thoughts of Ghost Hunters 7.3: “Century of Hauntings”

Ghost Hunters 1.440 million viewers,( down from the1.481 million of last week) found itself badly beaten by Top Chef and Dog the Bounty Hunter.The show is barely holding on in the top 10 rated shows for Wednesday. As a result GH seems to be grasping for ideas from other paranormal shows.

GH has made a big deal of its new van and I couldn’t help but think of Ghost Labs’ van. In this episode, GH goes without their camera crew — you know like Ghost Adventures.

Knocks, the sounds of alleged footsteps, whispers. Let’s be honest. In a house of that age, I would be surprised if we didn’t hear some odd noises. A loose window pane and a gust of wind — footsteps? A draft — a whisper?

I had high hopes for this one. I liked the shoulder-cams and I hope to see more on that sort of thinking. A noisy ship is a tough investigation, this is a perfect case for a long-term investigation in one place so you can weed out the usual noise. I have to say that it is an interesting location and I enjoyed seeing it.

I think that the GH cast and crew could benefit from reading “Was That a Ghost?” by Sharon Day. Maybe we should all chip in and buy the GH cast and crew copies — it would improve the show.
