Ghost Hunters

One of my favorite lines in Ghost Hunters is when they yell out, "We aren't here to hurt you." Haven't these guys watched any ghost movies, read any ghost stories, in the last 50 years? When has a ghost ever been on the receiving end when the hurting is handed out? "Are you innocent?" How many ghosts would answer that one truthfully?

Every time I watch this show, I begin running through some of my favorite ghost stories and movies.
  • Thirteen Ghosts
  • The Grudge
  • The Shining
  • The Willows
  • Ringu
  • The Ghost and Mrs. Muir

Granted, some of them are more dangerous than others. (A ranking.)

Anyway, with sounds, flickering shadows, and doors swinging shut, the season ends much better than it began. Actually, I am not sure if this is the season finale--it is billed as the "Mid-Season Finale." Does that mean the season is finished being halfway over? (Wow--the power of the Internet. They have online ghost hunter training!)
