i just got through watching another week of scifi wednesday, where they have 2 reality shows on paranormal activities.... it inspired me to start this thread to ask questions i've often wondered about and to also hear feedback from any and all with experiences of their own to share.

here's a little info about the shows...

proof positive is a documentary feature kind of show that first showcases someone with an unusual story to tell. this can be a broad range of things that ranges from ghosts to alien abduction to remote viewing... a bunch of stuff that probably are found in tilted paranoia. the show then proceeds to forensically test any evidence available and then about half the time they give a polygraph test to the alleged paranormal participant/victim. at the end of the show 2 of the cases are proven fals or inconclusive and 1(usually the one with only a polygraph test to go on) is proven positive.

i like ghost hunters a little more... it's the chronicling of a pair of roto rooter guys in the NE of america that go around to reportedly haunted places in their spare time. they arrive at night and proceed to set up a bunch of gear from ekg meters for energy readings to infrared and thermal cameras.... they then proceed to try to capture proof of supernatural activity, whether its an EVP (a recording of a ghost voice on tape) or a chair moving by itself. while i find myself skeptical of what they do come up with because of the nature of television, i still find it fascinating and am always hoping they come up with something really solid.

anyway, i'd love to hear what more seasoned students of the paranormal think of these shows.

while im on this subject, i'd also like to ask why you all think that after 3 solid decades of being a culture thats chock full of recording equipment we haven't come up with more substantial evidence of all the things that are reportedly experienced by people every day around the world... i understand that things out in the wild or in the sky might be a little more singular and hard to catch on tape. but ghosts are fixed in 1 place.... they never leave! you'd think that someone would find a place thats full of reported encounters(heavily haunted) and then set up a slew of recording equipment that ran 24/7 until something was captured for us to see. what do you think?

lastly, i wondered if there was a site out there with downloadable mpeg clips of paranormal evidence... that would blow my mind.
