The Best And Worst Paranormal Reality Shows


Fifteen years ago, it would be nearly impossible for you to tune into a "Ghost Hunting" reality show. But today, there are more on T.V. than we care to acknowledge.

But with so many of these paranormal reality shows we have to ask the question ......... are we creating a problem for real scientific exploration into the unknown?

Many individuals have become "Ghost Busters" by thinking that by watching these shows, they have become experts in the field of the paranormal. Many placing their "evidence" on social media and YouTube. Many created through Photoshop and CGI. Most of these individuals, groups, or hobbyists, are looking to get onto a T.V. show for fame and fortune, and to hell with the science,

Bellow, is a sampling of the the many paranormal related T.V. shows currently playing on the networks. There are some currently slated to end such as "Ghost Hunters" which has been on the air for nearly twelve years, but in the wings waiting are more to follow. Many of these shows you may recognize, others maybe not. But one thing is for sure, you may never have realized how many there are!

What is the greatest paranormal reality show of all time? That's up to you to decide! Paranormal reality TV shows are all the rage, and with so many different ghost hunting programs to choose from, how can viewers decide which one is truly the best? A great paranormal reality TV show draws everyone in with promises of frightful adventures and proof of activity in other realms or planes of existence, but not all of them can deliver. This list includes some of the most notable, greatest paranormal investigation shows ever - but it's not complete. Paranormal reality television shows often involve teams of investigators going "hunting" for ghosts. Viewers are taken to locations that are notoriously haunted and then shown footage of the teams spending spooky hours trying to capture images, or sounds of ghosts in the area. Some of the best examples of this kind of program include the Travel Channel's Ghost Adventures, Ghost Hunters on Syfy, and A&E's Paranormal State. Many of today's biggest and greatest paranormal reality shows of all time owe their success to older, classic programs that paved the way. Shows like Unsolved Mysteries and Sightings offered viewers a look at the unexplained, including paranormal activity, ghosts, orbs, UFOs, and even aliens. And really, when Robert Stack is telling you something is creepy in his *crazy creepy* voice, who doesn't get a little spooked?
