GH: Absecon Lighthouse
The TAPS team heads to Atlantic City to visit the third tallest lighthouse in the U.S. and "The Graveyard Inlet". In addition to the many deadly ship wrecks in the nearby inlet, there have allegedly been seven deaths on the light house property itself. I've given up expecting them to drop the phony 'we were just working on some local's plumbing and happened to have a camera crew with us when Kris called' bits but now I'm starting to develop a curiosity why they keep introducing Britt and thanking him for coming along when for all intents and purposes it seems he's become a new permanent member.

Okay. Yesterday, it finally happened.
I have watched GH from the very beginning, that is, many moons ago when the wives of Jason and Grant appeared on the show and Brian was the comic relief.
I have reached the point that I can no longer tolerate their febble attempts to keep us entertained and pretend that they are actually hunting ghosts. For the first time ever, I didn't watch the show and I will watch it no longer.
I can't. I just can't. I know it's a con job by con men and I can't sit there and be lied to by liars. To be honest, I'm happy I made this decision.
My only word of advice to Jason and Grant is this. Repent!

Actually I look forward to GH on Wed. nights.
Use it as a form of self-prescribed, generic Ambien.
Haven't made through a whole show in years.

BD I'm with you on that. Feel asleep right before the lighthouse reveal. What really surprised me was our intrepid tech-manager climbing to the top of the lighthouse. What happened to his fear of heights?

Only made it through the tour and the set-up on this episode.
However I did notice that when Steve was going up the stairs during the tour that it would have been impossible to squeeze a fart between Steve and that lighthouse wall.

Went over to the taps18forum to see if anything was interesting to the die-hard followers.
Last week WAS the lowest commented on show until this week when the number of replies sunk yet another 10%.

@stantheman:
Oh my gosh, I was thinking the same thing! What did happen to his fear of heights? He seemed completely fine. Maybe he forgot to "act" scared.

It has become as bad as being a Detroit Lions fan. You need to wear a paper bag over your head when watching.

I'll put a large trash bag over the tv in the event that my bag falls off.
Do we get to call ourselves the 'haints'?
The Doctor @ 6:58 pm
The big event sems to be the camera at the top slightly shifting and a lighting change. We don't get to see too much of the clip, in fact it appears the light is still shifting as the editors cut the scene – strange to edit out something that might be interesting.
One has to wonder if one of their little IR illuminators was taped on the wall, broke loose and pulled the camera a bit as it fell – I almost get a feeling the source was swaying a bit before the scene cuts away.
Which brings up another point – with only one night, anything weird that happens on the recordings are only found during the review. With very few exceptions there is no chance to go back and see if there might have been anything normal that caused it.
If the team did not notice or remember something that might have been a rational explanation it's automatically paranormal.
Back in the early days at least they had someone monitoring the cameras at "central".
