Well if you're a die hard Ghost Hunter fan you wont have to wait for long before the Mid Season Premiere airs. Come June 12 th,  9/8 c the members of the Taps team will be back in the saddle again. Touting themselves as "Televisions #1 paranormal reality series" we can only speculate as to whether they will live up to the billing. In the past viewers as well as TPB readers have conveyed the shows have lost something in the years to follow their initial success. We've pondered the whys and what ifs, and what abouts no end to try and figure out if Ghost Hunters could improve on their failing popularity. Many of you, our loyal and most brilliant readers shared your thoughts and here's what some of you had to say..:

1. Eva ThomasDecember 7, 2012 at 7:13 AMI have noticed a huge difference in Ghost Hunters lately. For me it just does not have the zing it did in the past. It is like the zest of doing the job is a little lost, if that makes sense. 
2. Richard C RyderOctober 4, 2012 at 9:15 AM I think that the show is better without Grant so far... with that being said, I wonder who will step up and take his place. I think the shows so far this season seem to be more based on the roots of when their show started. I like what they've done lately and think that they have had some incredible finds, especially last night's show.
3. AnonymousFebruary 20, 2013 at 11:23 AM Honestly, I can't watch the show anymore. We are left with two very pompous and conceited individuals,(Steve and Jason) and the show just seems so empty. I was growing old of the show anyway, "Hey, did you hear that?" "Is anybody there?" "What was that?" etc. I've done some growing up since the show began and it seems so lame now. Grant was a class act, the genuine article, no airs or posturing, just professional investigating. I really looked up to him. Steve seems like such a sneaky opportunist and Jason is so full of himself that there is no balance between the team. And then all the new characters, they really lack personality. Yeah, I'll continue to watch "Ghost Hunters," the reruns when the show was a class act! Sorry guys, but I think  Grant was smart to leave before the show loses it's luster. All I can say is, dudes, you really should stop while your show is still afloat, you're just going to ruin it for the entire paranormal genre...
4. AnonymousFebruary 15, 2012 at 8:20 PM  I must say that Grant was one of my favorites and I believe due to the ridiculous guest stars, flash light tricks and Grant not wearing his wedding ring might have something to do with him leaving. I guessed who was going to be leaving, but the reasons why are still up in the air. Plus, Grants hasn't been looking too well lately. Again, it could be due to his health or home-life. I just wish he would come out and say why and get all out in the open. We love you and wish you would stay, but we understand.

Well folks we think we've stumbled across another show you may enjoy that deals with the oddities and mysteries of life. This show first premiered in April of 2011 on the Biography Channel. The show's taglines:

"Many Americans have encounters that defy logic and science. But are afraid to talk about it. These profound unexplained experiences are investigated here for the first time. Using mystical abilities to venture into the unknown."

We found this show compelling, as it deals with real people with real struggles and often the mysteries while not always solved, offer some answers to families via a multitude of psychic intervention, spiritual intervention and the like.   Families on the show have often gone through every conceivable means to have answers only to come up still having many questions unanswered. This is their final attempt to find answers and in many cases closure.
Missing loved ones, unexplained illnesses that the medical community have come up empty handed, etc. all just a few examples of what dilemma these families deal with as they ask for help from those with mystical abilities. This show literally picks up where man and  science fail. This is where the abilities that man can not explain are the last resort.

We think you'll love it as much as we do.

Ever since I was a young child, I have seen things in the sky that didn't quite add up. Now that I am an adult, I know some of them were merely planes, and satellites. However, there are still some memories that plague my mind today.

On a particular camping trip, I remember the tent my family had wasn't big enough to accommodate everyone comfortably. So my brother Troy and I opted to sleep in our car one night to see if it would be more comfortable. As the night progressed, we talked and really had a hard time sleeping. I remember looking out of the windshield up at the sky, when suddenly there was a bright object that hovered up in the sky beyond the tree tops. It then shot off and out of the distance. My brother and I both saw this "thing". Terrified we ran back down to the tent where our family was, and to this day, I am not sure if we ever told them what we saw.

Today I just have the faintest memory of the experience, and for most of my life, I believe I have blocked it out. Children tend to do this with information they can't process, or rationalize in their own frame of references. I do believe that would be one of several Unidentified Flying Objects I would see in my life.
