I read the article and feel a small flame of hope that the guys might pull GH up to the first Season again.  However am also afraid that they are so used to being interviewed, that these are the standard 'knee-jerk' responses.  Do you think there is hope?

Jason: We came into disprove and that was really different…

Grant: Even the name of our show, Ghost Hunters, we fought. We wanted “paranormal investigators”…

Nope -

J&G buy an old Inn and immediately declare it haunted based soley on what Jason claims is his own  personal experience from years before.

Same old story

The article does start off with their purchase of the "haunted" Spaulding Inn. They claim the hauntings are "well known", but Google has not been informed.
However, they do respond to other questions: Why they started hunting ghosts,Finding explainable evidence versus deciding a location is actually haunted,The difference between paranormal and haunting, etc.

Is there hope?  I don't believe so.  I think with most reality shows, the first season is typically the best.  The following seasons…we enter with different expectations. 

The interview was interesting (thanks, Hannah Smile ).  It should be noted that this interview also took place before the infamous Collargate Halloween special.  Hmmm…is there hope?  I now change my answer to no.

But this really caught my eye:

Jason: Paranormal activity can be going on without a haunting.  If I see an object move on its own, that is paranormal.  If I see a spirit move that object, that is a haunting.

Grant: If a spirit causes something to move, that is a haunting.

Jason: High electromagnetic fields can crush a can or move a table.  So, it can be very hard to not always say it is a spirit moving something?

Um…ok.  Admittedly, my degree is in Chemistry and not Physics, so I am not an expert in Electromagnetism.  What sort of naturally occurring electromagnetic field can crush a can or move a table without the use of electrical machinary or magnets?  I know that lightning strikes can make a compass needle jump…so it's "moving it" I guess.  So….not quite sure what Jason there is referring to.  Anyone?
