Not much happens, or at least not much is seen on screen, although personal experiences abound (as well as a shrieking guest star taking off at a run). Part of the fun is that very minor things are inflated by the hunters into something supernatural. You do hear odd sounds in old buildings, and things do clatter to the floor when someone walks past an "empty" room. It happens (gravity, rodents, gusts of wind, shaking of floorboards). There's no attempt at debunking (which is true of the more recent seasons of the show as well). A lot is made of a rubber ball that rolls along a hallway, yet the team doesn't determine if perhaps the old floor is slanted or sagging. Or when the ball wobbles in front of the camera, the team vows that there is no wind or breeze affecting the ball -- but no one is at floor level taking measurements. It becomes a little laughable at this point! More so the guest star, an ECW wrestler from one of SciFi channel's other shows (just like last year's Halloween special). He's not particularly eloquent at describing his experiences but does seem to see a lot of ghosts. Towards the end of this show, the three runners up for the next ghost hunter team member are brought in, and you get to see Heather and Krysten acting very nasty towards one of them (I think these are the two women who use the hokey dowsing rods during investigations). Later on, Krysten and Steve get critical of the runners up, kind of showing off at how much they know in comparison to these contestants, who are all novices (like new people wouldn't be novices? Duh?). I found these portions of the show quite rude -- and not much to do with ghost hunting. Though they need some smart women on the team, a rather dull guy is picked to win the contest. That was disappointing. I miss Paula, the brainy scientist from season one, and Brian's enthusiasm, energy and outspokenness! Still, the three hours are very entertaining. I'd like to see the action that SciFi didn't show due to commercials, stretching out to the full six hours of the investigation. Also, it would be great to see a true scientific investigation, but despite claims to be doing so, I see little equipment and no one with a science background. The show and the Ghost Hunters team just come off as entertainers -- fun but no substance. They should admit that what they do isn't science but just TV entertainment. Highly recommend this DVD, though. It's a good quality and the action holds your interest. Looking forward to this year's Halloween special (bet that the guest star will be yet another ECW wrestler).
