i've only seen a handful of episodes but its a pretty interesting show. i personally don't entirely believe in ghosts. i believe in an afterlife so i can believe certain amount of contact, but at most simply a family connection and nothing more.
anyways what i like about the show is how they don't just assume its ghosts they test for what it can be. like they had this funny feeling and found out that the fan was busted and had this low hum.
certain kind of sounds and electromagnetity can give you headaches and make you uncomfortable.
in todays age anything overtly obvious we'd assume is fake. its so easy to fake things today that we are naturally skeptical. so even if the show does have something obviously supernatural i'll call bullshit.
now in todays pretty boring episode i noticed the shows main quirks.
1. overbearing music. it accentuates subtle noises or sights or even nothing to play the mood. it distracts from any actual sounds or sightings.
2. they talk alot. they do the same as the music. we don't really hear or see anything, but if anything happens they will immediately comment on it. it again distracts.
3. the exagreated transitions. it has this cutting and chopping video scenes. with some video filter change for added spooky effect. not to mention more of the music. normally would just feel fitting to a particular eventful episode, but not when nothing is happening.
basically i'm saying a very funny spoof can be made and probably exists.
