Well, they're back for an eigth season somehow. This time they are off to Mason, Ohio to investigate the Kings Island Theme Park to look for a girl who supposedly haunts the soon to be running ghost tours amusement park.

Then, for their token "it's good to get back to our roots, this is what TAPS is all about, let's help this family" episode, they go to Antrim, New Hampshire to check out a, gasp, residence!

EM Pumps, Whispers, Wazzats, Hello, and So you heard that, toos abound for us tonight.

Usually, and usually right about now.  It's been pushed back quite a ways although without a definite date as far as I know.  This spells trouble to me.

Wait a minute, Kings Island is haunted?  Yeah, right.  The Beast is haunted with the ghosts of lunches past, that's about it. 

What I would like to know is how the family of the girl that was killed feels about Kings Island and GH shilling her death for a few bucks?

Well I'm impressed. The Kings Island "find my mum" EVP has to be one of the clearest GH has ever recorded. If that was real it's remarkable.

It's a pity the rest was absolute rubbish. I feel bad for the women put to tears over the SFT. I'm in such need of a head bang against wall emoticon right now.

I'm with you Learjet, I was disgusted by the reveal, talk about playing on a person.  Psychic hotline folks come to mind when I was watching that.  They completely disregarded the fact that the light came on a few times before the question was barely even started, let alone pertinent details uttered that would be required to make an answer.  Additionally they ignored the "yes" light coming on after all was said and done and when no question had been asked.  Not to mention the typical editing that could have been done to make the conversation given that a lot of what we saw was just the flashlight with voice overlay.  This was a pathetic entry for GH and one of which they should really be looking back at themselves and realizing they went over the line.

Hi guys, remember me?

The Onion AV Club did a review of "Roller Ghoster". Not my favorite of their reviews, but it has its moments. My favorites are the personal descriptions: Jason is "the ghost hunter who looks like the star of Dave's Old Porn," and Grant is "the ghost hunter whose rough-hewn, half-asleep look sometimes makes you wonder if he's being played by Shea Whigham." Of course, one of the paragraphs is a bit scary:

At times like this, you have to wonder if all that attention they get from people like James Randi and the editorial board of Skeptical Inquirersometimes gets on the ghost hunters' nerves. If it does, it shouldn't. The representatives of the reality-based community sitting in the peanut gallery may have the spirit of the Age of Enlightenment on their side, but the ghost hunters have the ratings and the machines that go "ping!"

True enough, sadly.

If you can believe it, this episode got a 2.029 Million Viewers, one of their highest in a long time. Will have to see how it does next week when it's not a season opener.

That's because there wasn't anything else on, but reruns on the other stations! Smile

The ball of light or flash of light that Amy and Brett kept seeing was killing me.  It was lightning out and they were seeing random light spots or a stream of light that Amy saw on the windows. Hmmm.. definitely ghostly huh? Wink

Lightning and/or did you see how close the cars were that were driving by?
