dominiquedubey As a huge fan of GAC, I decided to watch this with my mum. We were both heavily annoyed by the arrogance and distaste the men team on this show called 'Resident Undead Paranormal' not only did they continuously say sly rude comments about the other time but we very unprofessional and disrespectful to the living dead. The other team were also only show for 10% of the team, while the mens team was show constantly which became a bore, there attitudes would be terrible if they tried to get their own show. At the end of the episode they present their evidence to the judges the other team supplied what to me is one of the most amazing EVPs I have heard, while Resident Undead supplied crappy evidence. Truly truly disappointed with this show.
cobra_freak_006 well im not really sure where to start with this one.its pretty much just a gameshow about 2 paranormal teams that go into locations that the Ghost Adventures crew have already investigated and they are given a very limited amount of time to gather evidence of the paranormal.now personally i like paranormal shows. ill watch ghost hunters and ghost adventures and my ghost story, the haunted which was on animal planet... i really dislike this show. to me it feels like a game show with no prize and the only people that profit is the creators. plus when you think of paranormal investigations you don't think of a time limit. you are inside a place and things either happen or they don't. you cant assume just because it happened once that it will happen again. 2 hours to investigate is not enough time to even set up. plus the idea of turning a paranormal investigation into a gameshow is just a horrible idea even for a spin off. i give this 3 out of 10 and 3 is speaking generously. i still feel it should be lower
PartialMovieViewer To quote Zak, 'What the hell was that?' I like the show. This is kind of the cage-match, special warfare, mission impossible, ghost-hunting extravaganza all orchestrated by Zak 'The Ghost Adventurers (TGA)' Bagans, and judged by a panel of hocus-pocus experts. The eerie premise of the show is, two tag-teams of ghost hunters face off from their respective neutral corners. Once issued their ghoulish WMDs, the target of interest (usually an asylum or a hotel) is divided in half and each team is sent off on a long range patrol (LRP) and must seek-out and document spooky stuff. The ectoplasm heats up as each is appraised by the hocus-pocus bunch and Zak 'TGA' Bagans. Disembodied voices and unexplained footsteps go wild! Contestants are bug-eyed as fear is tap-tap-tapping at their ventricle chamber doors. Half way through the show, the teams are exorcised from their phantasmal haunts, spiritually critiqued, mystically coached and bewitchingly invoked to the other 'evil' half. This is when the hair not only stands on end, but levitates from one's head. OK, maybe I am a little over-the-top. This is a fun show and shows signs of even getting better. I envy the teams selected for this and know this would be so much fun. Good job Zak.
carlphillips408 two teams spend the night in a haunted location trying to collect as much evidence as possible using modern equipment. they present their findings at the end of the show.the team with the most findings win a prize. the show is hosted by Zak. a rushed show that jumps on the ghost adventures money train.i do not think a single night in a haunted location is enough time for a serious investigation.an attempt to make more money out of an over used idea.it tries to introduce new ideas.a sure fire way of getting lots of viewers & making loads of money. will attract a lot of fans but (hopefully) will wither away to nothing over time.
