Syfy are developing a new reality show based around US schools that are thought to be haunted.
"Paranormal encounters at high schools and colleges often become legendary stories spanning and touching generations," says Mark Stern, Syfy's head of original programming. It is not yet known when the show will air.
The hourlong series from executive producers Mark Burnett and Seth Jarrett is called "School Spirits" and will tell supposedly true ghost stories in colleges and high schools across the country.

Syfy needs to stop making more reality ghost shows it's annoying. I used to be a Ghost Hunters fan until I watched Ghost Hunters Academy and I didn't like the way some of the members acted. And I do suspect they probably fake stuff now. Destination Truth is the only one I enjoy because I love Josh's sense of humor and the members don't seem to take themselves or the show too seriously. Syfy also should stop wasting money on ridiculous low budget monster movies. I wish there were some better quality shows like Battlestar Galactica (which was fantastic until the end)I can't seem to get into Sanc... [More]

With the exception of a few EVPs I cannot remember a single thing Destination Truth has shown evidence for. Oh wait, the Yeti skull with hair was pretty good. Oh yeah, it's footprint was pretty convincing as well. Josh is a hoot and remains the primary reason I still give that one my time. Concerning this threads topic, it sounds like a simple ghost "story" show for which I have no interest.

It's time for this whole reality show thing to end, enough is enough. Even the name "reality show" is a bunch of BS, how real can people be with a ****g film crew in tow! The networks love these types of shows because they must bring in ratings on some level and this type of programing costs next to nothing to produce. At this point the Sci-Fi channel is near unwatchable ever week they churn out a new crappy movie that is more a joke then anything else and I love a bad sci-fi or horror movie but sci-fi channel movies and series are just bad bad not good bad. Perhaps if they would instead of ma... [More]

C'mon. Scare Tactics. Tell me you at least like that? Scare Tactics was fun but that show was a set up, like candid camera from hell.

Ghost Adventures all the way!!!

Ghost Adventures is a joke. Only children and idiots who like roid rage are into that hoax of a show. Ghost Lab and Ghost Hunters are where it's at.

Lol! Wow I still give Ghost Lab credit but Ghost Hunters what a stupid ass show. Nothing ever happens nothing! Its all talk.

However silly this show sounds from the pitch (haunted school reality show) I want to see it just to figure out what format they are using. What is it, going to be a normal school reality show with "characters" we follow and get into their personal drama, then something paranormal happens and we get turned to the investigation and drama of that? Sounds ridiculous, but funny. However bad it is, I'm not sure it can top shows like Operation Repo, but I'm also half wanting to eat my words. Everyone loves a trainwreck.
