The differences between us and TV Shows

I wanted to touch base a little bit on TV shows...

Just a few tidbits I've noticed while watching Ghost Hunting shows.

Ghost Hunting is not as scary as they make it seem! We do wear headlamps that shine red light to illuminate the room, you are not in complete darkness. The drama of some tv shows make it seem like ghost hunting is a scary thing and it's really not!

You need to be respectful at all times! Say if someone comes into your house and starts being disrespectful to you, what do you think might happen?? Ghosts were people to- respect them as such!

What you wear speaks about your professionalism. My team wears black polos with our logo and names embroidered into them. Some people may say that's too expensive. But it costs probably the same price as a tank top that doesn't cover everything! 

We do not tamper with our evidence! Period. I know a group or two have been caught for tampering with their findings. Or making a noise and saying it's something paranormal.


We do not find evidence in every single place we go to! Some shows make it seem like every place they go they find evidence. This is not always the case. I enjoy when the shows a couple years ago actually told the story and even though no evidence was found at the time, they acknowledged that fact. 


Evidence review can take anywhere from 1-3 months. TV shows make it seem like for the rest of the weekend that's all their doing. Which might be the case, I don't know. But there are only 5 of us with full time jobs and we definitely cannot finish it in a weekend.
