Well done In Prison I'd be more frightened of the living than the dead though
I know Lancaster Prison is supposed to be very haunted.

Yeah prisons are notoriously haunted places - I was watching 'Americas Toughest Prisons - Alcatraz' the other night - It was all about how tough prison life is, drugs, gangs, murders, rapes, violence etc...
Then at the end the last 15 minutes was about how haunted the prison is - there are that many things that no one has been able to explain. |

Ghost Adventures is pure entertainment in my opinion. |

bitterbuck1, of course there is music and its dramatic and very american to make it entertaining and a tv show
but I think it seems to be the real thing - 3 dudes going out trying to find ghosts and catch them on camera |

Isn't it odd that they catch them every time?. Most people who investigate properly don't find anything because if ghosts exist they don't perform on cue for film crews.
Ghost Adventures does exactly the same as Most Haunted did - they 'create' their ghosts to ensure they have a programme to air. Most haunted very quickly realised that the places they filmed in (overnight) were giving them zilch in terms of paranormal phenomenon so they resorted to hammy mediums, fake hysteria. Yvette pushing ouija board glasses and Stuart Torreville and Karl throwing stones.
Ghost Adventures is no different.

Aw DB, I was enjoying that too.
They do get some really good EVP's though, direct answers and actual ghost conversations. Don't see how they can fake things like that.
Wow Kat, thats spooky, hope it doesn't run in the family!!! |

If they want to fake it, it's pretty easy. Look at how much was faked on Most Haunted.

I am going to find out more as there is an artists sketch on the wall at Derby Goal and quite a lot has been recorded about him, he slit his girlfriends throat because she went with soldiers as well as him i suppose you could call it a crime of passion . He killed her on 13 Feb 1862 and he was hung on 11 April of the same year so the end was pretty quick. The only thing i could murder is a nice piece of steak lol |
