Can you believe, 9 of these already! We are treated to another Texas investigation.
"The team travels to a historic beachfront hotel on Galveston, Texas, to investigate possible ghostly activity that could be related to a deadly natural disaster; the brothers explore an 18th-century Spanish fort where many Texan revolutionaries died."
The disaster they speak of is a Hurricane, obviously. It could be Gilbert from 1988 which was pretty impressive, but my bets are that it is the one known simply as "The Galveston Hurricane" from 1900 which killed thousands, destroying half the homes in Galveston. If they utter it, this situation would give new meaning to the phrase "I just felt a cool breeze!"
The previews go a long way toward solidifying the suspicion that "BAM" is a Klinge catchword. If both brothers get excited about some evidence at the same time, Hanna-Barbera may file an infringement suit!
Additionally, we are continuing to see more than one parameter plotted on a single chart. This is a good thing, and proof that it can be done. Other shows may wish to take note!

Yes, they are referring to the 1900s hurricane that almost wiped Galveston off the map.
My guess in regards to the 18th century spanish fort is presidio La Bahia near Goliad,Texas.
It is a Texas historical site,and some of the Texas revolutionaries did die there, and there is a monument and grave site I think near Fannin ,Texas,not too far from there where they are buried.
The fort is haunted,especially it seems the chapel shrine to Our Lady of Loretto,which is still an active chapel in the Catholic diocese of Victoria,Texas. The Victoria Diocese came about in the late 1980s or early 1990s and was taken from the Archdiocese of San Antonio, and given it's own diocese and bishop,who had served for San Antonio.The Presidio La Bahia has a website on it's history and has been investigated on several occasions.

Depends upon who you listen to lol Their enthusiasm is refreshing without yet being as over the top as GA. Their willingness to actually test theories is refreshing…the methods and especially their follow through to the conclusions are a little less refreshing :( There are differences from episode to episode and they have not yet fallen into the formulaic practice of GH. I'd say certainly no worse than GH. Not the most ringing of endorsements, but what the hey!

GL finally came down the pipe.
So in the first half they get an EVP at 3.2 Hertz? How is it remotely possible to translate a 3.2 Hertz anything into a voice? I would have thought it would be tooooo sllloooooowwwwwww of a sine wave. I don't understand.

Even more impressive when it appears that they have a file called " Growl_Barn Loft.mp3 " loaded into their editor when they are playing it back.

I think GL is refreshing after the couple of EPs I've seen. I do like the brothers' style and typically how they debunk and actually using some form of methodology to test their theories. Connecting paranormal activity to storm activity was interesting if we can believe their data. I also liked the fact that there were eliciting EVP's in the subject's native language, in this case, Spanish, a technique that GHI should probably look into. The minus is that the K2 meter has reared it's ugly head in GL.

Yes, they finally did but how long did that take? I kept yelling at the TV count in Spanish for heavens sake! Talk to these people in Spanish! It took awhile but they finally got there. However, being from Texas and a team member is different from being a team member from the US and going overseas. Our Irish friend, Barry, tries somewhat but it's not exactly on target.

I agree, and I know this isn't the GHI thread, but GHI should at least look into bringing in a local native speaker for their EVP sessions. I would find it quite interesting if GL would investigate some Native American sites and bring someone in who speaks Lakota, Navajo, etc. It could be very interesting, I think.
