I have always had a soft spot for ghost shows and stories of hauntings, but Ghost Adventures has set a really low standard for shows of this nature and the Travel Channel producers have answered that calling with more cheap thrill trash.
So much of this is scripted; scenes where the family is discussing "findings" with the ghost team is clearly re-enacted (with terrible acting) and half of the "proof" is comprised of body sensations, gut feelings and fuzzy EVP's. This show would benefit from less production and more raw footage.
It's a great show to watch with someone who loves to laugh at over-exaggerated acting and "ghost hunters" yelling "SHOW YOURSELF YOU COWARD" at an overpaid film crew hiding in the dark.
It's a solid 3-4 star rating (out of 10) for it's kitschy entertainment value, but there is nothing tangible here if you're interested in real ghosts.
