Well at least Ghost Adventures tries to look more realistic, the show Ghost Hunters doesn’t even try. Someone could pass gas on that show and they all jump back and say “Gasp, what was that? I just heard a ghost moan!” they don’t even try to make it look real, they just walk around for hours listening to noises. I used to like Paranormal State too but I spoke to someone on facebook that used to film for that show and he said they used special FX and eerie music to make you think stuff was happening. He said Ryan Buell started out with genuine intentions but soon enough A&E wanted ratings increases and thrill factor not actual hard evidence that ghosts existed. And they threatened to cancel the show at one point but the crew agreed to do what was asked of them to keep it going, I guess money will persuade anybody.

He told me what to google and I found articles from a family that was featured on that show back in 08-09 or there abouts. They said they asked the crew to stop filming and not come back because they were afraid their house wouldn’t sell if shown on Tv as haunted. The family said they told the crew not to ever come back because they overheard Ryan telling Chip Coffee all the details about the case outside before he entered the house so they knew then that it was all faked, he was not a real psychic. They said instead of telling the truth why filming was cancelled for that episode (that no one was allowed back to that house because of being caught) Ryan lied on camera and said the family told him to come back alone with no cameras which is why he had to cut footage out and he made up a story about helping the family and reported back with fake details of how it was resolved when really he never went back as per the families wishes.

The family noticed this when they saw the episode air on Tv and also noticed the original footage they got before the crew was asked to never come back, the family gave them permission to air that footage but when they watched that episode they noticed a bunch of special Fx in the form of manipulation and content that was added in that they said never even happened. Later on the same info surfaced again when Kirby one of their former crew members came forward to say the family was telling the truth and they were not the only ones whose cases had extra stuff added in that never happened, and also that Chip was not a real psychic and Ryan did run and tell him every detail about each supposed haunting before he arrived. So Kirby quit when he learned the truth and A&E forced him to state he was only leaving because he needed to be back with his family and the crew had differences in opinion. They threatened to sue him if he stated on camera why he was really leaving.

If this is all true I’d be willing to bet that Ryan’s pancreatic cancer may have been a gift from a spirit pissed off at their scams, or maybe a magician watching the show did this to him as payback for being misleading? You can google all this and see for yourself but the guy I talk to on facebook said Darcy left the show on her own several seasons back because she is an actual wiccan that part was not faked and she realized what was going on so she could not in good faith stay on the show, but her white lighter tendancies kept her from being vengeful so she just left and kept her mouth shut so as not to start any fights with anyone.
