While awaiting the start of the MSU/U.Conn game, I was bouncing around channels. Once again, I fell upon PS. It's like a gruesome car wreck. You don't want to look, but you not only end up looking, you stare at it.
I'm not going to bother describing the show. No point really. But I did find a couple of odd things when poking around about it online. Here's the website for the hotel:

Notice anything odd about it? Like…I don't know…the prices of rooms. Do they have room service? Do they have any rooms at all?
It's like Paranormal Junction. I couldn't see any prices on rooms on the front page, but I could easily find their "Action Cams." That's right! You can hunt for ghosts from the comforts of your own computer. Sweet. And about room service? No clue. But there's some great links for psychics…
If you click on their "Investigations" link (I couldn't find similar links when looking at Holiday Inn's website…), you'll see a small blurb about PS. The interesting part is that it states "For reasons that are unclear all traces of episode 19 have been removed from the Internet." Be thankful for small wonders…
Lastly, here's a picture that the lady who owns the hotel took:

It's a picture of "ectoplasmic mist." Let me say that again. It's a picture of "ectoplasmic mist." Yep…still funny the second time. Man, if only I could get a sample of this. I wouldn't even know which microscope to use first. Maybe a TEM (Transmission Electron Microscope). Oooo…maybe a STM (Scanning Tunneling Microscope). I'd be like a kid in a candy store with a sample of ectoplasmic mist. Well, you know…if it actually existed. Who knows? Maybe it does. I should start staying at these "haunted" hotels more often…if I can only find out if they actually have rooms…
Anyway, the actual point of this post is to draw attention to another show, Ghost Hunters. Alicat, amongst others, have shown very strong finacial motives behind where the GH team is going this season. Although "investigated" by another show, it does show a "pure profit motive" to feature places where people can go and spend money such as hotels, inn's, museums, and places that give tours. Essentially everywhere that GH has gone this season. Perhaps GH should move over to the Travel Channel now…
