LOL NOOO...They canceled "A Haunting" so now we are down to 3, and MH isnt popular except I find it fun to watch..JN BOOOOO YA

From my stand point, they have a pretty good audience by now. In any case, I dont agree that is the only successful show on that Network. A&E also shows The Sopranos, Intervention, biographies, along with educational shows. I watch that more than Sci Fi, or Travel Channel...JN

Cry Wolf... is the monster in your sig representing PRS? LOL

JN, I'm not saying they are bad people. I can't judge anyone I haven't met. I am giving their show my opinion from a well seasoned Paranormal Investigator's point of view. If you came across a hand print on a wall, and just because you don't know who put it there, are you going to claim it to be paranormal? Answer me that?

I dont have to speak for PRS investigators. I noticed TAPS is now all the sudden gathering evidence. How can Jay agree that EVP last week was nothing more than a "click" so seems they are grasping at straws. PS do not call themelves ghost hunters and dont rely on scientific evidence, but they put their heart and sould into researching, talking to all witnesses, then performing EVP's and photos during Dead Time. Then they go the extra mile to help the person or family, end their torment..To me, thats what its about..Just my opinion..JN

You still haven't answered my question!? Would you label a hand print paranormal?

I would label it paranormal if it wasnt there, then POOF was there a minute later, and of course no one was near the area..

Skeptically how do we know the camera man did not do that? I wasn't there personally but... a hand print is not enough evidence to proclaim a place to have activity or to be labeled haunted. They are taking something like a hand print and calling it paranormal. How do they know for sure one of their crew did not do that? They don't. It could of been there before the team got there. My point is, its just not enough conclusive evidence in an experienced investigator's eyes to proclaim a place to be haunted. That's why me, Eric and Cry wolf dislike them. Because of things like this.

A handprint? A freaking handprint? Do you realize how long a handprint, fingerprint, stays on the surface? days, months, years even. That handprint could have been there 4 months prior and all it takes is condensation or something to make it appear. Hands are oily......say it again, hands are oily.

A freaking handprint, what the sh**...

Paranormal State for the LOSS...bunch of podunk kids.

Next on A&E, Kindergarten Ghost Hunting 101! Yay Milk and cookies!

Well, once you guys get your own show, I will be more than happy to debunk your theories..LOL

Don't forget me! I don't like them either. . .and for the same reasons.

If I was ever on a show, I would be portraying the field the best I can. The right way and proper way. But producers won't allot it strictly because of entertainment purposes. I would not accept a contract from a t.v. network unless the show is done right. The field needs to receive much more credibility and shows such as PRS is not helping us get respect. TAPS is a more respectable organization because of their experience and knowledge. They've been around long before Sci Fi picked them up. So far TAPS is the only show that represents what we do properly. They aren't perfect, but close enough to my standards.

Amen....

PRS was around for I think 6yrs before the show....but in all honesty, you can not tell.

Who knew, CryWolf?

Anyhow, I hope they do get two more seasons. Only because I enjoy the show.

Some of those cases don't seem to be "sereve." They just seem like everyday cases.

(I know I spelt that word wrong.)

Is this thread still going? LOL

Damn PRS fans! They are like rodants!

Call the exterminator!!! Quick! LOL

The popularity is dying obviously....as to will the show

I rather watch re-runs of scooby doo!

I'd rather watch my bottle of dr pepper sit here empty and wondering when it will be replaced.

Theres nothign wrong with scooby doo . If it werent for those meddling kids we'd have monsters running riot all over the place

haha oh geeze....someone is showing their age! lol

Technically they were the first ghost hunters to make t.v.!?

PRS is like watching the Brady bunch on Most Haunted!

Oh come on. Don't you want to watch anothe season of PS telling people they have demons? Personally im waiting for the big showdown between Belial and Ryan. They need to have it as a cage match.

You'll NEVER take me! NEVER!



I can't let my thread die. Now can I?

This is my longest lasting thread yet.

Was this the first episode?.. I'm dying to see this scene.. LMAO.


edit*

It was worse than i imagined...

Keep watching it gets worse.

I'll be honest and no offense to the PS fans, but this dude, Ryan, or whatever, he makes me think of a duck.. he's almost cross eyed..

and i cant' tolerate him speaking thru that mic ... it's almost revolting.

You are exactly right about that.

You forgot his bucktooth bigeared sidekick sergy. Whats worse he has the last warrne and Chip onn the show. Heck PS makes MostHaunted look good.

I think Ryan from PRS should try out for the next Beetlejuice movie
Beetlejuice- "I got demons runnin' all through me!!"

We should make a bet! How long will PRS last!? LOL...

Not money though, because it'll get out of hand! LMAO!

Like someone has to put something in their sig or something to that effect?

I almost don't want it to end. Shame on me. I'm waiting for Chip to have another margaret moment. The man is hilarious.

Hahaha. I love that too.

*Whack!*

-----------------

Here's the Penn State Paranormal Research Society. Ryan's an admin there.

I'm there as Empress Augusta Vradica.

Come on people... PRS needs to be taken off the air period! I say we start a petition!? They did one against Uwe Boll! LOL...

Here is an example! Petition

Dude, they are so portraying our field very badly and making us the laughing stock.

Where do i sign up?!

I would sign it in a flash.

We could do what the governor did in Blacksheep and have even the dead sign I'd sign and make everyone I know sign as well...not that i would have to try hard, they would in a heartbeat.

Should I close my thread too? Since half of the members hate it?



Edit:

Just because you hate it. Doesn't mean you have to ruin the show for me. And the rest of the fans.

;_;

Public forum and we have a right to be critics of a poor podunk show , close the thread if you wish....stop the madness before you finally see the light

Not to worry... if this thread closes, we can always start our own thread to continuously make it known how much we hate it!?

Sounds good to me , actually sounds good woot

I just think it is our patriotic duty to get rid of the show. By getting rid of this show, we can save lives and feed the hungry. So many good things can come from the end of this show. Perhaps a cure for cancer. Join us.

Hahaha....probably a decrease in demon awareness as well.

Hello Moonprincess.

I don't like PRS and have stated so many times. If you enjoy it that's fine. I hope you enjoy it for it's entertainment properties.

However, the people that are voicing their dissent about the show have a valid point.
The way that PRS is being portrayed, either by the editing staff or by their own instigation isn't portraying Paranormal Investigation. It shows and upholds beliefs that were constructed thousands of years ago. It's a snake oil show. They are selling belief in the most insidious ways.

Some of the things that they portray on the show makes no sense beyond entertainment. But it isn't being billed as entertainment and to many people the show is real.
They should quit billing themselves as PIs and bill themselves as Belief Supporters, BS for short.

In my opinion it's not belief or the positive aspects of belief that's dangerous but the show relies on that belief system and exploits it. People are going to believe a demon/entity or some mummery over a knowable medical condition, toxic environment or other provable cause and they will cling to that belief over a fact. This wouldn't bother me if I didn't see it as dangerous as case after case in the news proves. When someone kills a family member because they believed that a demon or what ever was infesting their loved one, I blame shows like this one. This show adds to that IMHO.

Well said Mabon.

Ditto... well said!

As seasoned P.I.'s and founder's of our own Paranormal Groups we should not be bashing other groups in public, however this group needs to be bashed because they are simply frauds and I have scientific proof of it because I have investigated a location they have investigated. The things they claimed to be paranormal are hardly paranormal at all. The characters on that episode lied about so many things on the show, basically to sell it. Its because of groups like this that people & scientists do not take us seriously. Does it ruin my credibility as a founder of a well established group? Maybe, but I have the proof, I know the truth, and have the backing.

Rest of the fans? Does the family of the PS jokes count as fans?

Seconded.

I just dislike them because of their methods, their "know it all attitude". What is scary is that they have the means to basically "brainwash" people ,if you will, into believing their little fairy tale. Sickening.

Thank you CryWolf and Pluto-x!

I really dislike being negative about a show that people enjoy. You know, if it were a perfect world people wouldn't be affected by it and would see it as a fun (if they enjoy that type of thing) program then put it from their mind until the next show. Yet a lot of people don't. They see the show and think that what this team is doing is both helping and right.

The aspect of the show that really bugs me is the unsubstantiated diagnosis. This is the part that is based on belief. Belief and facts seem diametrically opposed but they don't have to be. If PRS were using what has been written about as a base to dismiss or prove those claims then it might be interesting.

This isn't the dark ages. A lot of things that used to be signs/proof of the devil and/or demons we now know to be mental illness, physical illness or other causes. I like living in the 21st century. While there are things that we can learn and should honor from history. The blind belief this show promotes, isn't one of them.



I do agree with that the people shouldn't be bashed yet critiquing should be done. I really hoped that since the group was young and either still in college or recent graduates that they would apply the knowledge that they learned toward paranormal investigations. I wouldn't even have minded if they used mediums/psychics so long as they were going to try to substantiate the claims made by them. On the first two shows (shown in my area back to back and presented as an hour long episode) those hopes were dashed.
