I've never been big on scary ghost stories -- perhaps I'm still traumatized from my older siblings scaring the crap out of me in my early years. But for some reason, I've found myself watching some of the ghost hunter-type shows on the air right now. I'm actually looking forward to the Oct. 30 live broadcast of Ghost Adventures from the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum. Asylums are darn scary even in broad daylight. Maybe I'm just getting in a Halloween mood. Maybe I need something to jolt my psyche into fast-forward. Whatever the reason, I'm currently into ghosts -- even though I have to believe they're just sitting around laughing with glee over all the people who are out looking for them. I probably won't see Paranormal Activity, though, because I DO want to sleep again, after all. But Extreme Paranormal on A&E will suffice just fine.
Here's part of a two-parter in which Shaun, Nathan and Jason investigate Pennhurst State School and Hospital, an abandoned mental asylum in Eastern Pennsylvania, and a haunted swamp outside new Orleans. One of the team even agrees to be buried alive in a mass gravesite in order to commune with the souls of the residents. That's going beyond the call of duty.

I find the Extreme Paranormal crew to be buffoonish and boring.
