Since we all have our likes and dislike with the Paranormal shows that are on TV. I ask this question. If you could produce a Paranormal TV show, what would you do that is different then what they are putting out now. Who would be your Host or Hosts. What would you do to make the Members of IAH tune in your show.
Overnights are too short - ghosts don't perform on command. You need a good month at a haunted location to really see what's going on. Keep the recording devices going day and night and do an extensive background into the people involved, the history of the location and vicinity, check out all geological characteristics of the place, and check weather patterns, etc., basically, thoroughly check out all possible factors that could contribute to a haunting.
Time consuming, maybe expensive, impractical for some people - yes. But I can't think of a better way to get to the truth of the subject at hand.
Well, due to the fact that our field is boring to the non-paranormalist I would have to agree with Ghost Ohio.
However, I think that the supposedly "True" shows that have popped up the past few years have run their course. No one but the gullible believe them anymore. Maybe a regular TV show on the lines of maybe CSI about Paranormal Investigation. This way you can explain at the beginning that the shows are based on actual investigations but everyone wont be fooled into thinking the show is real. Sort of like the old Sightings but a TV show instead of a reality show.
I would make it a parody of all the Paranormal Shows out there now. Starting with all the old episodes and making them a true comedy.
If it wasn't a comedy, I would have a changing host, so we don't have to hear the same voice over and over. I would show one investigation for a season. Every hour of investigation, every minute of research, every second of dealing with the client. Can you imagine, one investigation for a whole fricken season? It would be on for decades, decades I tell you!!!!!
I am thinking of starting a free banner exchange for anyone with a paranormal website. If you think this is a good idea then let me know. If there is enough interest I'd start it up.
