Extreme Paranormal provoked extreme opinions in the ghost hunting community. My own article about Bonito City’s ghosts was a response to that TV show.
While I was catching up on ghost-related news today, I found a website that includes some important insights regarding TV shows. The following article [...]
I’ve known John Zaffis for over 10 years, before ghost hunting became popular.
I didn’t expect to like him. In fact, I figured that — with his demonology work — he was probably as crazy as a loon.
Then, I was the opening speaker and a New England conference and John was the closing [...]
Do the “fake” claims about the Ghost Hunters show ever stop?
That’s a rhetorical question.
Of course they continue. As martial arts icon Bruce Lee once said (football reference), “They only tackle the one that has the ball.”

People continue to ask me if certain ghost hunting TV shows and movies are real or just entertainment.
Are the Ghost Hunters fake? I replied to that about a year ago, in my article, Ghost Hunters TV show – fake? Nothing since then has changed my mind.
(2010 update: I still trust the integrity [...]
I rarely watch ghost-related TV shows. They’re entertainment. They’re produced, edited, and sometimes scripted to convey something about hauntings, in a way that will capture the viewers’ attention and (hopefully) loyalty.

Bonito City and its ghosts — if there are any — were featured in a recent ghost-related TV show.
