• GHI: Bannfy Castle

  Bannfy Castle in Romania is known in some circles as the part of the Ghost Hunters International season finale that wasn't absolutely terrible. (…)

• MQ: Giant Rats

  Out of the plethora of MonsterQuest episodes I haven't written up, why pick "Giant Rats" to write about?  Well, because although they're not terribly interesting, their situation is: namely, lots of people report seeing them — yet there is absolutely no scientific evidence to support their existence… until now!

• GHI: Dracula's Castle

  The Ghost Hunters International team was back in Romania and a few days ago we were graced with the airing of their investigation at Curtea De Arges Castle, otherwise known as the castle Vlad III Dracula, aka Vlad Tepes, chose to make his big stand against the Turks in.  That's some pretty heady stuff.

• PS: Family Ties

  This is the first episode of Paranormal State I've watched in what seems like a very long time and I must say, I rather enjoyed it. (…)

• Where Are The New Posts?!?

  Hey folks, I've been real busy and I know I've fallen behind a bit but I've watched all the shows and I've got my notes right here in front of me.  Keep an eye out in the next few days for overdue Ghost Hunters International, Paranormal State, and even some MonsterQuest! (…)

• GHI: Predjama Castle

  With 1,000 years of history behind it, this castle-in-a-cave-under-a-cliff can only be summed up properly with one word: Looming.  It looms.  Predjama Castle in Slovenia isn't the largest structure, but it's one of the most imposing I've ever seen.  During the Dark Ages people took up residence in the large cave that penetrates the cliffside, and apparently a significant portion of the structure is built within the cave.

• News: High School Surveillance Camera Ghost

  At 2:51 AM on August 1, 2008, a surveillance camera at Asheville High School in Asheville, NC, caught a mysterious figure flitting around onscreen. It seemed to float in front of the two lit doorways. (…)

• GHI: Cape Town Castle

  One thing I noticed right off the bat about this investigation is that they devoted half an episode to it.  I mean, a full half.  Normally Ghost Hunters and GHI have been airing one investigation for about 40 minutes, and another for the remaining; the second investigation inevitably feels rushed.  This is perhaps primarily the fault of the post-production team at Pilgrim, but I thought it was worth pointing out that I thought they did a good job here by splitting the episodes up evenly. (…)

• GHI: Nottingham Road Hotel

  For those who were wondering if the"i" in GHI stood for "European" with the small exception of New Zealand, it looks like the answer is going to be definitively, "No".  This investigation took the Ghost Hunters International team to a new continent: Africa. (…)

  In the first post-shakeup episode of Ghost Hunters International we find the team investigating a very cool looking castle in Wales. (…)

• Science: Nuclear Power

  This post extends from the discussion on Global Warming. Alternative energy sources were being discussed and nuclear came to the forefront of the conversation. (…)

• GHI: Samlesbury Hall

  This investigation takes the GHI team to merry olde England, and a fairly ancient place called Samlesbury Hall. (…)

• GHI: Charleville Castle

  For what I believe is only the 2nd time ever, Jason & Grant appeared on Ghost Hunters International. Robb called and asked them for someone to fill in for Donna while she was out sick. (…)

• Science: Global Warming

  Today I've got something a bit different to discuss. (…)

  This investigation began with Donna going back to the states, unable to stay with the rest of the Ghost Hunters International team because of an attack of Crohn's disease. (…)

• GHI: Wellington Opera House

  The Ghost Hunters International team continued their trip to New Zealand with an investigation at The Opera House in Wellington. (…)
