Things that bug me during the show...

I watched the episode earlier when they were investigating the Mayan ruins and the "EVP" they got there didn't speak English. But, I do agree that the girls may as well just not even be there, they drive me nuts. They scream when a tree moves. And filming everything at night does not make the investigation more accurate, they might even be missing out on seeing things during the day, especially when most sightings are during the day. And, although I find it comedic, I don't really see the point in showing them all screwing around throughout the day. Maybe they could be investigating instead lol. It is an interesting show, it is just not very accurate or well thought out.

I get kind of tired of the embellishment of the creature features when they have the 3d representation on screen. They all have razor sharp claws for tearing flesh, or bone crushing strength. I would appreciate a more scientific approach at describing them, Josh makes it sound like they are going to be in some sort of monster UFC

You're the funniest thing I seen since Biter chewed off that Septa's teats - Rorge

It really annoys me that they only investigate at night too, and when they travel days to get somewhere but only spend one night investigating.

1. Whose to say that once someone/thing becomes a spirit, language is no longer a barrier?
2. Investigations are done at night so as to avoid the daily activities of people and many animals and reduces man made noises.
3. Agree with ya here.. Hand signals, and maybe have everyone wear headsets so they don't have loud walkies going off.
4. Some of the guys have been pretty freaked out occasionally too.

CNN reported on their findings from the Yeti episode.. I believe it was even before the episode aired.

The english thing bothered me too until I thought about it.

Who's to say that when you are a spirit you don't have the "ability" to speak in any language? Or maybe that your words don't just come across as any language that is being spoken to you? Language is a human concept..doesn't mean that spirits have to follow it after death!

BUT.


They HAVE caught a foreign language response on the show. Only I don't think they realized it at the time. I remember this because I heard it myself while watching and tripped a bit.

It was the underwater investigation of the sunk Japanese WW2 stuff. Its been too long since I saw the episode so I don't remember what they had asked but the EVP caught said a very low and drawn out "haaaiiii." "Hai" is formal Japanese for "Yes" one of the first words anyone learning the Japanese language would learn. It's also the proper response to someone asking a request of you. If any of the spirits were dead Japanese soldiers for sure they would use a formal reply. I would venture to guess that a ghost hunter asking "Is anyone here?" would be considered requesting a reply from whatever spirit was in the room. Boom. Formal reply.

I guess no one on the show knew a lick of Japanese because no one caught it. It was just passed off as some gibberish or "inaudible". However, to an ear trained to recognized Japanese, like mine, it's very obvious and clear as a bell.

So there you go...non-english EVPs. lol

1 - I'm pretty sure they used translations for a couple of the audio sessions. Or, they could simply be ignoring the barrier and trying to formulate what an entity is saying (if one is there) even though it could be speaking a foreign language.

2 - For numerous episodes they do a lot of active day-time investigating. The Swedish Lake Monster for example, they scuba around and drive about the lake a lot of the time. Thermography is also better to be used at night, since it's cooler and you can more easily distinguish heat signatures and there's larger differences in heat between the environment and living creatures. Night-time investigations are also done because of many other environmental reasons, along with the fact that most paranormal beliefs point to night time as the best time for investigation.

3 - What better way to alert everyone else you've stumbled onto something? I know I've yelled when surprised by something that startled/bewildered me.

4 - No real logic to this one other than your own apparent sexism. Would it be good to increase their demographics by including women? Sure. Doesn't mean that's the only reason why.

and also whenever some one yells whats that over there have all the camera men point the cameras away from where the action is and start spinning in circles,and have the host who is holding the mil-spec heat signature camera use his cell phone to record the "creature"

it makes that noise because you left the parking brake on.
