Anyone else disturbed by this episode?  It was so over the top cheesy that I kept shaking my head in dismay.  Are we seriously supposed to believe that Billy in the van wasn't creating the noises and the voices that they were hearing?  And the image captured by the Full Spectrum DVR (I think) looked like nothing. I never saw and image even when they outlined one for me.  With this episode airing before the Ghostly Lovers episode, I think The Travel Channel and MY-Tupelo Entertainment may have a new series/genre on their hands that plays to people who have "spectrophilia".

Go with me on this one skeptical viewers:

GA team goes in an investigates a haunted location that's haunted by a single male/female entity

They find "evidence" of this entity

They leave and queue pornstar actor/actress all alone (heck I think Zak may want to do this himself based on his "acting" in this episode)

He/She is armed with a PX box for instant communication

The door opens on its own

The actor/actress remarks that a shadow person is standing in the doorway and the blanket mysteriously being pulled back

They start communicating using the PX box

Insert cheesy dialogue like GA's "gentle….lay" from this Vday episode

Queue cheesy 70s porno music

and VOILA! Let the Ghost Adventures Lover series begin!

The best part of this episode was when Zak slipped and fell on the ice outside while trying to create a love poem.

I missed this episode but I did catch the part where Zak slipped on the ice. Was I just seeing and hearing things or did they say they had an EVP that was caught when Zak fell?

This show just gets more cheesy by the minute.

No apology needed Learjet, I hear from true GA believers almost on a daily basis and no amount of evidence or scientific reasoning can ever be used in a conversation with them. I've even shown them my voice recorder which is the same that GA uses and shown how it makes mechanical noises just from moving it around to fast and I have even compared sound bytes from the show with ones I recorded on my own recorder from just waving it around and still they tell me that I am wrong. If Zak and co. would go to a location during the day, check out all the doors, show what type of hinges the door uses, how heavy the door is and show proof that this door never moves on its own because of its weight and that there is no drafts in this room that could move the door, then I might consider evidence of a door shutting by itself. Sorry for going off about the door but that is the one thing that they all throw at me. I hear more about shutting doors than I do about their EVP's.

I wonder if I could make my own Franks Box and put the voice of Al Franken in it and call it the Franken Box and sell it? Hmmm…

My vote for the next big gimmick:

Spiritual Automatic Writing. 

I think Donna on GH mentioned doing it once, but I just know GHI could really fly with it and it would be so much more interesting and interactive than "flashlight on, flashlight off".  Combine it with highly honed cryptomania and a dash of confabulation and you would have, in Flournoy's words, "romances of the subliminal imagination, derived largely from forgotten sources."

Except it would be really, really real.

I was the same way Buffy, when Ghost Hunters first came on I had already been doing some paranormal research but I still bought into the concept. Finally it became beyond obvious what they where doing. I also agree with you about how Zak and the crew are the only ones to have "ghosts" know their names at EVERY location they go too and plus they always have it out for them. It's almost got to the point that it reminds me of professional wrestling, in the sense of you wonder how many is going to step out and make threats and challenges to these guys.

When they use the Ovulus they have to be editing the scenes to get  that much speech out of it. I know 3 people who bought these devices because they truested GA and all 3 of them have told me that every other word out of these things is the word demon. One even told me that he turned it on in his office and left it on for the drive home and while at home and every 20 minutes it would say the word demon and hot or demon and cold.
