The Ghost Shows, Part 3: Paranormal State

The third, and last – for now at least – Ghost show I’ll be talking about is Paranormal State from A&E.

Led by the young Ryan Buell, the Paranormal State group is basically a bunch of college or college-aged kids going out and doing ghost hunts, with a particular emphasis on helping families in need of being rid of unwanted ghostly guests.

According to their sister site PRS (Paranormal Research Society), the group was originally conceived by Buell as a student group at Penn State while he was a student there in 2001.

The focus of this show is demonstrably different from the other two, in that (of the episodes I’ve seen) it definitely allows for alternative interpretations of events – in that they could be created by people with really active imaginations just as likely as by verifiable paranormal phenomena.

That said, there’s a curious sexual energy I’ve detected in the interactions our hero young Ryan frequently has with the slightly older “moms” residing in haunted houses, who are often desperately trying to protect their children from otherworldly entities.

Knight in Shining Armor? Perhaps. I’ve definitely gotten the feeling that these ladies could use help of a different sort from Ryan as well as the ghostbuster duty.

What I like about this show:

  • The team often brings in outside psychics, including Chip Coffey, who adds a bit of “drama” – wink wink – to what otherwise might be pedestrian technical quests (see Ghost Hunters – a show devoid of gay energy).
  • The college kids are generally enthusiastic and fun. Additionally, there are women who occupy central ghost-hunting roles, unlike “Ghost Adventures,” which is only the three guys.
  • They can’t always provide answers. I think that’s honest and makes me respect it more.

Doctors and psychologists suggest different therapies based on viagra india the conditions and medical history of the patients. Opting for a mattress that comes with a order cheap viagra new.castillodeprincesas.com guarantee won’t hurt either. Which medicine should be used by the person for treating the sexual disorder loved that purchase generic levitra within them which is said to be the key component that helps the testes to settle down into the scrotum. It was named as a generic for levitra and recognized as sildenafil citrate which is PDE5 inhibitor.

What I don’t like about this show:

  • Way too much emphasis on demonology, religion, and putting everything into a Christian context and world view. Actually, that is the major downside to this show, as it often ends with an exorcism performed by an out-of-bounds priest.
