I actually kind of like this idea. I think its a little bit of a stretch to call ghost hunting an addiction… but I think the fame and the attention is the addiction. Not necessarily finding ghosts, because as we have discussed on this forum, a lot of the evidence they collect is questionable at best. Its an addiction of staying 'credible,' entertaining, and deceptive yet trustworthy enough to hold on to their audience.

I read some of the comments on the youtube video… he says he wants to become like the Dr. Phil of ghost hunters. That's where I think this idea might take a turn for the worse. I think it should be a show focusing on exposing ghost hunting tactics or beliefs. But that's just me.

It's like he's too scared to take that one leap forward. It's a more sympathetic show rather than a cut-to-the-chase, lets-get-some-things-straight here kind of exposition.

Maybe he's afraid of the Klinge bros giving him a pummeling.  ;)

Last night I saw (read: tolerated) a bit of a Ghost Lab ep from last year,  they're just way too "alpha-male". They were trying to make contact in a dark hallway, I was half expecting them to belt out, "You manifest right now you protoplasmic p***ies, or we'll kick your little yellow bellied butts!"  If I was a ghost, I woudn't want to talk to them either.

Everytime I watched that show, I was like "man, chill the f— out." I could just imagine a female ghost be like ":sniff: my word, that is NO way to talk to a lady!" /floats away

Another example of unnecessary drama.

Re-watching some old Ghost Hunters videos via a new channel on YouTube. These generally get shut down pretty quickly, but this guy has all the old episodes, Season 1 and 2. (username GhostMediaReborn, if you're interested.)

Anyways, watching the Myrtles Plantation episode. Jason says that they're goal is to disprove hauntings. He says that 80% of hauntings can be dismissed either as psychological or some other explanation. I hope Patrick throws that statistic out there, right of the "experts" mouth!
