Ghost-related TV going mainstream |
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
I really enjoyed last week's Travel Channel premier of
Derek Acorah's Ghost Towns. I've recorded every unique
episode of 'Most Haunted', since it was first added to
the Travel Channel lineup, onto DVDs (now, DVR-to-DVD),
and I've started doing the same thing with Ghost Towns.

I also recorded DVDs of all the 'Ghost Hunters' shows
since they began on the Sci-Fi channel (in 2004). New
episodes are scheduled to begin Wednesday March 29th:

I must admit, that getting the DVR and digital service
has made this recording process sooo much easier. I've
collected 100s of VHS tapes that I recorded paranormal-
related shows on over the years (since the 1980s). It's
definitely a lot easier to search for programs, to set
the timers, to record, and run copies nowadays than it
used to be... not to mention storage... and shelf life!
Also, while CBS's Ghost Whisperer is a little soft for
my tastes, it enjoys pretty good ratings as Fridays go,
even in repeats (tomorrow night's episode is a new one).
James Van Praagh has certainly earned his place in the
annals of world-renowned spirit mediumship. And it is
Van Praagh's expertise that inspired 'Ghost Whisperer':

And there are many new psychic-related pilots and series
being developed and produced for television this year. It
seems psychics and the supernatural in general are going
mainstream in the public view. It's about time (the old
Soviet Union was really way ahead of us in that regard).
Soon, psychic-related a.k.a. "paranormal" studies will be
added to America's mainstream university curriculum, even
in the public schools. It's only a matter of time... :-D
Enjoy!

I must say, I found ghosts more appealing when they were just well-told
stories. Now that we have several channels showing the undereducated
and overemotive walking 'round delapidated hotels and lighthouses going
"whoo, that flaw in the camera film might just be SPOOKY" I'm a bit
bored with the whole thing. Perhaps The Other World really needs the
tricks of a good medium to sex it all up, but all on its own I just
don't think the dark realm holds up to kleig lights.
Anyone else?
