Ghost Hunters - New Season
So, who all caught the new ghosthunters (GH) third season premiere last night? I thought it was one of the most exciting episodes so far, possibly more so than the investigation they did at the Stanley Hotel in Colorado! Well, maybe not. But last night’s show comes in second on my GH-Ometer - The Stanley Hotel still has to be my favorite, if for no other reason than Stephen King stayed there and had his own paranormal experiences, which inspired his writing of The Shining.
In case you didn’t catch it, the GH investigated The Birdcage Theater in Tombstone, Arizona, which boasts being frequented by infamous gunslingers like Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday, Bat Masterson, the Clanton gang, et al.
Anyway, it started with eerie sounds such as a ball (most people on the GH message board think it sounded like a pool ball) hitting the ground and bouncing around. There were other wild west sounds like boots walking, and they caught an EVP of back-in-time (Calliope?) music that no one there heard until the recording was played back. Brian and Jason caught whiffs of lady’s perfume, and saw shadow people crossing in front of windows, to the point where the showdow people blocked out light streaming in from the street.
Probably the most interesting part was when Jason and Grant caught sight of a full-bodied apparition: a lady wearing a long, pale colored dress, and bonnet. They saw her for just a moment before she disappeared downstairs. We didn’t see her because they had no camera pointed at her. Only they saw her, but we take their words for it, right?
In fact, we didn’t even see the shadow people even though there were several sightings of them. Makes you wonder why they don’t wear hat-cameras, eh?
And someone else on the board posed a good question…why on earth would they not continue to investigate the theater after catching a full-body apparition by extending the investigation, and putting the cameras in more strategic positions. I mean, if it is a residual haunting (lady with bonnet) as they called it, they just have to put the camera where they saw her because she would eventually circle that way again, right? Seems they would, if they truly caught the “Golden Grail” of ghost-hunting, as they so aptly described the experience.
Questions to ponder.
Don’t get me wrong…I still love Grant and Jason, and I really like Brian, and Steve. But one has to say to themselves and their blog readers, “hey, if that were me, I would put the cameras in more strategic places, and stay a few more hours…” After all, it’s the golden grail of ghosthunting, and as Jason says, it’s his passion, it’s what they live for. Get it on tape, Jase.
Luv, Gina
