Para-UNnormal?

Ahhhh... The Ghost Hunters. T.A.P.S - The Atlantic Paranormal Society. For those that don't know, T.A.P.S is a paranormal investigation team that started this "little" show a few years back called the Ghost Hunters on the SyFy Network.

I've been a fan from pretty much the beginning. Loved the tech involved and the way they went about the investigations. However, I've always taken the paranormal footage generated with a grain of salt. I guess that's the whole scientist side of me keeping me in the realm of fact.

Today however was a bad day. You see, there is information coming to light that may paint a dark picture over the whole "science" of paranormal investigations.

While perusing Twitter, I came across some mentions of an interview conducted by a radio show called the Ghost Divas. They interview people in the paranormal business. They recently interviewed an investigator named Donna LaCroix who used to be a starring investigator on the show Ghost Hunters.

Take a listen to DONNA'S CONFESSION here.

It would seem that things are not as they seem on the Hit paranormal show. In a way I'm disappointed but on the same side of the coin, I can't say I'm surprised. I place paranormal investigation in the realm of crop circles, aliens and big foot. To which I quote the late great Carl Sagan:

"Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence..."

Yes, the T.A.P.S team produced some great evidence but if there is the slightest injection of doubt, you have to throw it all away. You can't believe just for the sake of believing. Donna's interview has the potential of doing some damage to the show and the field. We'll have to see how it plays out.

For you die hards out there, don't be too disappointed. Watch the show for the entertainment value. It's a great show but don't take every bit of evidence they gather as gospel. It is just a show after all.

Give it a listen. It's well worth the time! Oh, there are a few bad words riddled through out the interview so for those with sensitive ears, take heed.

I've seen it a few times, but I can't seem to get into it. It doesn't surprise me that it's not totally on the level, as like you, I relegate ghost hunting to the realm of superstition.
