Aladdin Central Messageboard

[Iago]

(from VH1's web site) In a unique blend of gritty horror with hi-tech investigation, famous actors, musicians, athletes and comedians explore real life hauntings and hunt for ghosts to discover signs of the paranormal. We started with a haunted location, derelict and abandoned, and for this season we found some of the scariest places in the United States: a tuberculosis hospital where a patient died every hour during the height of the epidemic in the 1930's, an asylum for the criminally insane where violent psychotics left behind even more violent ghosts, an old mill plagued by the vengeful ghost of a mill worker who was mauled in one of the machines under suspicious circumstances, and a deserted 19th century prison which housed the most dangerous criminals of its time. Next we waited until nightfall and sent in a team of five celebrities to investigate the reports of paranormal activity and hunt for the ghosts haunting that location. We gave them the history of the site, the background on the ghosts, the testimonials of the sightings. We gave them the latest tools and techniques: EMF meters, laser thermometers, thermal imaging cameras, sensitive digital recorders to pick up EVP recordings (electronic voice phenomenon). We gave them handheld cameras to document themselves, each other, and their experience. Then we left them all alone. The producers and crew packed up, piled into vans and drove off, leaving only a system of surveillance cameras behind. The celebrity team had until sunrise to identify what is known in paranormal circles as the Heart of the Haunting that place where paranormal energy is most active in a location. These celebrities have dealt with the limelight, they've dealt with fans, they've dealt with photographers and reporters and everything else that goes with fame... but they've never dealt with people who have been dead long before they ever became famous. It turns out that when they're alone in the dark and the ghosts come out, celebrities are just like you and me - they scream their heads off.
PRINCIPAL CAST INFORMATION:
· David Carradine

I saw Gilbert Gottfried for this and flipped out. I will watch this show ritually. My favorite comedian + a paranormal show = L-O-V-E!

I actually know some of these places from TAPS. Especially Waverly Hills Sanitorium (the one I put in bold letters). There was some extreamly good evidence they found from waverly (along with the fact ALOT of people who go there have similar experiences) and it will definatly be interesting to see if anything CP finds will coencide with TAPS evidence. Though I'm not holding my breath This one could be slightly staged but it'll still be funny as hell to watch

Sounds fun I'll have to wait and see if it reaches Europe in the future.

Cool. I saw the TAPS episode with the hospital, and I think it's be interesting to see if Gilbert-tachi can come up with anything concrete on it. Heehee, celebrity-scaring. Could be a new sport.

To be honest, I can't help but question the 'reality' of reality shows of any type after reading this article.

No one will really know wheather or not some reality shows are staged or not. So one person came out and said it big deal. Doesn't mean it applies to every show

The first ep of CP seemed valid enough but my problem with it is that they didn't really show much evidence. All they went on was personal experiences and you cant use those as evidence.
