I don’t get to watch too many reality shows despite the abundance out there today, but the one reality show I never miss is Ghost Hunters on the SciFi channel. At one point last year, Alex canceled our extended cable (half-way through the run of new Ghost Hunters episodes I might add) to save on cable costs. Alex convinced me to buy the DVD with the cost savings so I just settled with that idea. Then one night, after he saw me rewatch the few episodes I still had saved on our Tivo/DVR and seeing how excited I still get over the repeat episodes, he decided to re-instate our expanded cable subscription… just in time for the new opening episodes leading up to their Halloween Live event. Wooohooooo!

In this season’s “Spirits of San Francisco” episode, they covered two investigations. The first was at the Presidio where they caught two black figures on separate occasions in their video clips. The second investigation was of more interest to me because they were investigating the family-owned Lullabye Lane, a baby store in San Bruno, where we had frequented before to purchase baby furniture and other items. They didn’t catch much on video at this location, but they definitely caught some creepy EVP’s which seemingly corresponded to the questions being asked by the Ghost Hunters team. The owners, one of whom we’ve actually seen in the store previously, were the ones who had called Ghost Hunters in to investigate. How cool is that! TAPS coming all the way from Rhode Island to our neck of the woods.

Now when Ghost Hunters is off-season, I usually get my fix of paranormal shows by watching Montel Williams when psychic Sylvia Browne is on, Most Haunted (which I actually dislike terribly), A Haunting (which is a little too freaky for me at times), and other random paranormal specials which air on the Travel Channel.

I always look forward to October because not only does that mark the start of the holiday season, the weather finally cools down, the rains come again, we get an extra hour of sleep when we fall back an hour, and there’s an abundance of ghostly shows on tv at this time of the year!
