Plots And Flaws Of Ghost Hunting Shows
What is the biggest proof that ghost mania is still as popular as it gets despite modernization and technology? The freaking ghost hunting shows are everywhere.
The Commercial Aspect of Ghost Shows
Just like anything else in this world, once people’s attention and fancy are captured by something, it becomes a commercial commodity that can be translated into profit. People’s penchant for ghosts is just the same. It has always been there. The current commercial world is now translating that penchant into a mania by feeding on it.
Ghost hunting and ghost mania has swept the world into an international industry. Investments and technology made ghost shows really huge and spectacular. That means they looked really spooky and real. How can it be so real when ghosts along with other natural forces remain to be paranormal and unexplained? Never mind about the veracity of ghosts and the other paranormal elements; the point being emphasized is that money and sophisticated technologies are being infused in these shows making them scarier, more hair-raising, and spine chilling.
The General Plot and Flaw
Despite how many shows you try to watch, there is a basic similarity in the plot and the flaw. Ghost hunting shows typically have the same formats.
• A typical show revolves around certain “professional ghost hunters” that explore certain locations reported to have paranormal activities.
• The paranormal signs are recorded and interpreted using various ghost hunting equipment to put some semblance of “scientific” approach to the whole episode.
• These video clippings are cut and edited to create a story that can titillate the imagination of the viewers and to inject graphics and more technology to make it more chilling.
• The episode ends just like the other episodes and the other ghost hunting shows: no ghost found. What the show will depict is an analysis or interpretation of the featured “professional ghost hunters” without the audience seeing any of what they saw or felt.
• The following week, another is episode is to be shown with the same plot and ending. It is something that these fanatics already know even before the show starts. Yet, amazingly, viewers stay glued on their TV watching as the scenes “unfold” getting high with the “chilling effects.”
The Implications of Proofs
TV viewers and the humanity in general remain in wonderment because it is something that can never be answered; it will always be a mystery. Imagine if the truth is found. Whichever way it goes, it can prove or disprove life after death. Religion and beliefs can be turned upside down. The Holy Scriptures and Quran may need to be rewritten. It can cause an avalanche in faiths and religions. Imagine the impact of validating the existence of ghosts and other paranormal elements. It would be a life-changing event; the life of people will be changed forever.
