Ghost hunter theres nothing I can say bad about it. Good quality!!
Good show, bad audio and grainy video
Ok well there's not much to say other than what's already said in the other reviews. Love the show and all, but I do have a few complaints. Number one, these guys from Big Vision really need to work on their DVD production. With Season 1 it was loose DVDs in the box. Now with Season 2/3 the DVDs have been secured but the audio is crap. What gives??
Overmodulated is the word. The video quality is mediocre and yes you will sometimes see nothing but pitch blackness. don't blame it on the fact that the TAPS team like to work in darkness, there are plenty of ways to light things up.
The last complaint really has little to do with the quality of the DVDs but more so about the content. Jerky camera movements, hysterical shouting and other faux pas really make it hard for the viewer to see and hear exactly what is going on. Perhaps TAPS did capture something at the St. Augustine lighthouse, but I couldn't see a damn thing as it was happening. And why did Jason and Grant rush up without any thermal imaging device? Why was the device sitting on the ground? If I encountered something that I truly believed to be paranormal, I'd have every piece of equipment at my disposal. It's like rushing into a firefight without a gun. The other side of the argument is that it is a tightly edited show and all....but still....sometimes their methods tend to baffle me. I guess you just have to remember this is a reality TV show and there's always the fact that events are sometimes exaggerated for entertainment value.
Missing Episode??
Let's get one thing straight. I love this show, and I'm a devoted fan. I agree with the reviews that talk about the terrible audio quality because it really is difficult to hear at some points.
However, my complaint lies with a different topic. Does anyone remember the episode where the TAPS team caught a shawdow figure dart from the left side of the frame behind the pool tables, and then dart back? Where is that episode? It's not on the season 1 or season 2 DVD sets! I think they also cut out some scenes! Does anyone remember the scene where Grant and Jason go to Brian's house and he asks to come back to TAPS?? In the season 2 DVDs, they show Brain leave, and then several cases later he just shows up with no explanation!!
I know these scenes/episodes exist - so where are they??
I think I must have watched the entire season two within a week after buying it. It is true that the picture and sound qualities could definitely be better, moreso the sound. It is hard to understand why such things would ever be poor these days with dvd technology. One can only think to blame Big Vision. Hopefully season three will get better treatment as the show becomes more popular. Having said this, I would recommend to anyone who is a fan of the show that you not let the negative comments stop you from picking up a copy of season two. While the sound and picture were noticeably imperfect it doesn't stop you from enjoying the episodes just the same and with the reduced price it is a good value.

I usually hate these paranormal investigation shows - they're almost always run by people are are "fans" of the paranormal, and they go around getting excited about every piece of dust that floats in front of the camera lens (Orbs! Orbs!) and go nuts over "psychic intuition" and crap like that. But Ghost Hunters isn't like that at all - these people actually try to DISPROVE hauntings. They're skeptical attitude is what makes all the difference.
The show is mostly spent watching these investigators creep around a darkened house, abandoned prison, sanitarium, or a variety of other locations, looking for evidence of paranormal activity. Usually they don't find anything conclusive, but it's still fun and spooky watching them explore these places. However, on the occasions...
