Did anyone watch Paranormal State Last night?

I did and here is how I feel about it.
Ok yes they have it ondemand both episodes and after watching maybe the first 10 mins not done yet I would say it is very scripted. Young people do not talk like that its amazing and yes when he said directors log I did feel like I was gonna hear Captain Kirk or one of the other star trek captains.

When I say scripted I mean like I said above if this were like GhostHunters or livescifitv then they would sound normal meaning use slag such as dude what the fetch or what have you talk normal it seems to me that they were handed a script told to memorize what to say for dramatic effect. If this were day to day of PRS then they would talk normal not like they were going to a business confrence lol.
Ok back to finish watching it so far I am not impressed

Ok just finished the first episode let me just say I am not impressed.

I do beleive that the little boy may be seeing things that he may be senstive but I also believe with time it might go away.

What I do not belive is their so called " investagation" wtf is dead time excuse me I have heard of the witching hour which is from midnight to 3am but I have never heard of dead time and how do you excatly know when it is over lol

Also I do not believe they did not go to the basement to check out the sounds if that were the guys from taps or our livescifitv guys they would be running over each other to check it out. and wtf is with it may be trying to seperate us omg I wanted to lol so badly.

Will I watch it again prolly if I remember to watch it will fill in the space of time when I used to watch the hills lol

Unfortunately or fortunately i did not see it..i find some of those shows to be a bit of a turn off as i too find them scripted, which is a part of tv land, and im much more used to non-scripted as in Livescifi..so i tend to avoid them, however on this past sat. morning i caught this paranormal show 1/2 hr called girly ghost hunters...they were investigating a theatre...they rode around in a big ass bus and talked like teenagers...i could not help myself on laughing at the show, i did try to get into it, but suddendly found myself waiting for them to head to the mall to pick up new outfits and make up lol...

Thanks for the info HauntedWhisper, Miss Lola Bunny and Train, I am so saturated with the paranormal that I don't watch these shows on TV. Being that they are on TV they have to be entertaining for the masses, which is to say the folks that have never been on an investigation or are new to the world of spirits. These shows are there to make money for the people behind the camera and the people in front of the camera don't do to bad themselves. The base line is money and getting people to tune back in to make more money...So for me these shows are a waste of my time...just my opinion... Donna

haha Train! i've heard of the "Girly Ghost Hunters" but it hasn't shown here on tv. sounds like i'd get a good giggle out of it. (i hate malls!)

as for Paranormal State. i quite enjoyed it. not to say i didn't have any questions about their methods, and keeping in mind it's edited for tv to make it that much more exciting. i'm sure there were alot of things cut out. (just like when my team took a local show on a ghosthunt, and they cut out massive amounts of interesting stuff we did with the hosts, and only kept what they thought target audiences would find interesting.. including the fact we explained some of the sounds we heard.-sigh-)
anyways, what i liked was how they investigated everything before hand, and that the team was made up of different types of personalities and professions to suit the needs of the team and clients. what i didn't like was the fact they went around cleansing the homes.. to me that's beyond what a paranormal investigator does. it also seemed the main host is connected with the Catholic Church, something about him and demons? gave it a "fake" atmosphere in my views. but all in all, i quite enjoyed watching it.. and shall see it again. i was more interested in the cases, then in what the hunters did.

too bad so many ghost hunting shows play music and earie noises etc, so that we, the viewers, cannot hear the sounds they are hearing! when they say "did you hear that?" i wish i did.. had it not been for the crap they play in the background all the time. i guess i want to see/hear the evidence for myself.. rather than have someone tell me.

was interesting.. needless to say. just my point of view.

spook

Also I do not believe they did not go to the basement to check out the sounds if that were the guys from taps or our livescifitv guys they would be running over each other to check it out. and wtf is with it may be trying to seperate us omg I wanted to lol so badly.

I agree was odd no one checked things out when the door opened
who knows maybe spooks right it was edited out for some reason, i dont want to say its "fake" but i do enjoy a more relaxed setting and not so scripted i dont know if the boy was scripted some kids have great vocabs like my 10yr old had an 1,800 word vocab by time she was 18months the boy seemed ligit but i just feel like was said maybe more time looking for evps/evidence less time in what seems seance mode. and yes i liked the idea of a physcologist on the team and looking through the histories

Ok I have no idea why they did not check out the door I know I would lol and as far as the basement in the first house went I would be right there checking it out as would any halfway decent paranormal investagator would I be scared prolly I am a chicken lol but I would check it out if I were there its like a horror movie you dont want to investagate whats behing the eerie noise behind the door but you are compelled to want to lol

was it just me, but didn't it feel like a video game with all that "director's cut" segments? i thought it was a pretty entertaining show, but i felt like it was a video game or some sort of movie with all that narration.

After watching paranormal state. I realized how lucky i am to have a "real", "intelligent" place to go when i want the truth about the paranormal. Thank You Livescif.tv Thank You.

Lol thank god for live sci-fi and ghost hunters Huh?

I wasn't impressed.

Here's what I saw:
1. A bunch of college kids and some adults running around crossing themselves and other things like window panes, holding prayer vigils and wondering what demonic force was trying to seperate them, hunt them, annoy and or abuse them.

2. A twenty something "leader" who obviously watches way too much Star Trek making absurd statements like "Dead Time", "Directors Log" and "I've been doing this type of thing for many years." Gee like maybe five? You'd think he would have learned something about actually investigating then. He wants to be a priest, not a paranormal investigator.

3. A preview of next weeks show that includes what appears to be a genuine amature exorcism. See above comment.

I'll pass.

Well that tells me alot and I dont think I will be watching.

I was impressed that they showed them saying a prayer of protection, I've never " investigated" a haunting but, it's my opinion that it is a good thing to do beforhand, and how could it hurt. My belief is that there are negative entities out there, be they demons or just malevolent human spirits.

I would worry about any one attempting an investigation with out it for that reason.

As for the rest of the show, lots of drama but nothing much to back it up.

Why do you guys put down a good show, if you would visit Paranormal States sites of blogs you would know what the show is about, The team is not there to prove a haunting ok, they are there to help the families learn to cope with it and help them mentally. I say the show is a hit, especially with over 3million viewers per week. So learn the facts before putting down a good show.
