World's Biggest Ghost Hunt: Pennhurst Asylum

After years of being a part of the paranormal community and being a spiritual person, my opinion on using a scientific approach is that it's intriguing but i trust my instincts and spiritualism to protect me. Spirits, lost souls, unearthly beings, demons all require us as living beings to feed onto our energy; life force. We must protect ourselves from being taken advantage of. E. V. P and video recordings, in my opinion, is meddling into their business and giving spirits false hope on finding peace because of our curiosity. Meddling with no intentions on helping spirits is just cruel.

This program started well and had promise. The team had a balance between the sensitive's (which I don't have time for) and the scientist's; who early on debunked what was a technical issue. However, as seen in other similar formats; and possibly due to little actual evidence found, the drama takes over with the spot light taken over by the 'sensitive's', and for me it was this that ruined the show.

Also, claiming that its the 'biggest ghost hunt in the world' is typically American and I would question this rather churlish claim. Just because it was possibly the longest GH in America, doesn't automatically mean that it's the biggest GH in the entire world - get real.

Painstakingly slow, torturously long, and incredibly boring. Very little action & the mission of their investigation seems pointless. I've been more entertained watching my fingernails grow.

First off let's start with the "crystal girl" she c was obviously not a sensitive and was just there to curl up with the Zak dude, second a investigation like this needed to be done by professionals and not dollar store investigators.. casting was horrible and the way they did it was amatuer at best.

First off, I'd like to say that I have spent my fair share of time watching and studying paranormal programming for the last 15 years and believe me if it has been released I've seen it. Having said that, this special was one of, if not the best and most well done shows I have ever seen. Between the very likable and relatable cast and vast dichotomy of methodologies, I truly think this show has something for everyone. Even if you are a skeptic and don't believe in this type of stuff, you still can find solace in the fact that one of the investigators is in the same frame of mind as you. By using the Este's Method for the spirit box and creating the faraday cage to rule out false positives, this team knows true paranormal investigation and is serious about the research side of things rather than just saying every orb and flashing light on their equipment is supernatural. Two full weeks in a place like this and any other TV show would come out with so much evidence it would seem ridiculous, but not this group. The fact that they only showed us a handful of these paranormal occurrences gives even further credibility to what they are doing as any true paranormal investigator knows this kind of stuff just doesn't happen every minute as most shows would have you believe. Having watched this several times already, I just cannot get over the fact that this group is genuine and it makes me reminisce of the days I used to go out and investigate which makes me happy and feel apart of the team. I hope to hear more from these guys and gals!
