All of those shows are simply on there for pure entertainment and to make producers money. I cringe when that show is on it's so fake. |
I don't know what is it you're trying to ask if you're going to shoot down the very purported evidence that you seek. While Wilson and Hawes' methods are pretty loose, their aims are genuine. Ghost Hunters is the documenting of a paranormal investigation group that already existed before the show came on.
That said, I'm not surprised that they pretty much never get anything conclusive. They're never at any given site for more than two days. Alleged paranormal manifestations can lay dormant for weeks and even months in some cases. If TAPS really wanted a challenge, they'd stay in one location for like a month solid. But of course, if they don't get anything, people stop watching the show. So TAPS has to settle for ambiguous EVP, some EMF fluctuations, and maybe an odd-looking photograph or video clip. The show's format doesn't let them dig below the surface of any alleged haunting. They also rarely return to the same location.
There's also the question of how the (purported) manifestation occurs. If you're familiar with the holographic universe model, then a lot of paranormal phenomena becomes plausible. Your mind's eye can detect things that a scientific instrument cannot, and vice versa. The very nature of tangibility becomes more complex.
