I'm going to have to wait until it's on DVD (I own all the seasons ). I don't get Sci-Fi on my cable. Ughhh... spoilers are OK w/ me though Nora.

You want spoilers? Well ok. A long time ago, there was this giant fancy ship that was built with inferior steel. The captain was a 'tard and crashed the ship into an iceberg and the inferior steel popped open like a can of Pillsbury biscuits. The ship sank and a boatload (pun intended) of people froze their 'nads off in the ocean and eventually drowned. The end.

DID YOU HEAR THAT EVP?

"Don't Leave Me"... oh my gawd!

Damn! I can't watch this. Someone dvr is and send it to me!! LOL!

(no... really...)

I'm hoping this might be one of the ones they post online (they do that with a few shows) but somehow I doubt it.

Yeah... it's one of the good ones. I stand corrected.. it said "No, please wait"... right after it stopped Grant from getting up off the floor. Stupendous!

Ooof! Ooof! Yay! The ghosts <3 Grant.

I'm also big into this show, but the more and more I view, the more and more I feel it's RIGGED. That's beside the point, and there are some things that make you go.. WHOA.

Maybe I can catch it online then. Or else it's patiently awaiting DVDs. Sucks having to do that, but cool at the same time because I can sit down and watch them all in a marathon style. Really freak myself out.

love GHOST HUNTERS... and did watch last night...

I got this from the website (no I won't post the whole description and findings...) for those of us who couldn't see it, this was the basic "mission"...


The team heads south to Atlanta to investigate the famous Titanic exhibit that's currently housed in the Georgia Aquarium. The Titanic Aquatic is a traveling exhibit and allegedly wherever it goes paranormals follow. When the exhibit was in Athens, Greece voices were heard and people asked about the character actor dressed in black wardrobe, but there was no character actor in the show. Georgia Aquarium staff, volunteers and others have had eerie feelings and have seen shadows and feelings of cold in the cabin exhibit.

In the iceberg exhibit patrons can touch the simulated iceberg to see what the water temperature was like on the day the ship sank in 1912. In that same room a volunteer felt like someone was behind her and she then felt pressure pushing down on her head that made her feel like she was wearing a swimming cap. In the artifacts exhibit which houses some of the personal artifacts of people who were on board. A patron in the room was trying to read one of the plaques on the wall and suddenly felt like he was about to black out.

I saw a Titanic exhibit in Chicago around 2000 or 2001... (I'm way huge into the Titanic thing... I'd see this exhibit again in a minute) they had the big iceberg ^ that you could touch... that thing was wicked-ass cold. You're supposed to put your hand on it and see how long you can take it... I didn't last long. I can't even imagine the horror of that night when the ship went down, and those people in the freezing water.

The Ripley's Aquarium in Gatlinburg, TN had the Titanic exhibit in the summer of 2003... they had a little wheel you spun to see if you had perished what you would have been (like a game of odds). I was a Crewman.
But the coolest part was the little pool of water they had that was the same temperature as the waters were in the Atlantic that night. Me and my friends tried to see who could leave their hand in the longest. That water was insanely frigid. Took me a few minutes to get feeling back in my hand after that.

I had a girlfriend like that.......

So the Titanic episode hasn't been posted yet... but I'm watching the island/castle ep on the faboosh 24" apple cinema monitor since I'm solo in the office today.

We lost interest in the show due to the obviously rigged live Halloween special. But we did catch it last night. They got a hell of an EVP.

I tried several times to watch this show. Ca$h Cab is FAR more compelling.

A Haunting is a really cool show. They're dramatizations, so you get a nice story. And no dorks going "What was that? Did you hear that?" eighty times in twenty minutes.

Too funny... I watched that same one in my office a couple weeks ago while holding the fort down and pillaging files.

This thread got me very interested in studying the Titanic and I looked up many sites to get some info on that night in 1912.


The ship could of held up to 41 life boats, but they opted not to because they were more concerned with the upper class's space on the top deck and wanted them to feel comfortable rather than cluttered. They only used 20 that only held up to 60 some people but the crew never performed how to lower the boats so they weren't prepared and ended up not filling to full capacity anyway. Over half of the 3,000 people on board died on the Titanic because of this.

They also said that the ship was better off hitting the Iceberg STRAIGHT ON rather than trying to turn the boat to the left to try to dodge the piece of ice. If this would of happened, the Titanic would of only had frontal damage, and only a minimal amount of life would of been lost.

There were no binoculars present in the crow's nest, and if they did have binoculars present, the crew would of been able to spot the iceberg through the fog in time to make the correct adjustments to sway the ship.

The Captain of the Titanic, Captain Smith, (the guy in the movie with the white beard), did an interview a month prior and one of the questions was if he ever experienced any malfunctions in his 40 years of travel. He said his career was 'uneventful' and experience no breakdowns or catastrophe in his life commanding, and that The Titanic was his last trip before he was set out to retire. So that was pretty sad.

The Titanic had several warnings of ice and icebergs floating around in their area, and by the time they received their messages from other crafts, it was too late. After they came to conclusion that the ship had around 2 hours to stay afloat, the nearest boat around to help was a good 5 hours away. The Titanic sank and fell to its resting place 2 hours and 40 minutes after it struck the iceberg.

you people actually like this shit? newsflash- ghosts aren't real! haha

Extremely debatable and down to opinion. I have been in the presense of "spirits" numerous times, and also have friends who have had similar experiances.

Been there, done that. You're riling up for a losing battle with that proclamation. I don' believe in ghosts either, however Pseudo- Science is so difficult to debate a sceptic will just drown in all of the wishy washy logic thrown at him.

Some friends and I used to go to odd/creepy places and try to observe spirit activity. Here are a couple of videos I shot at a Civil War cemetery/battlefield called Brice's Crossroads near where I live. I put them on youtube to show one of my friends so the editing is not the best...blah...blah....


Floating orb behind tombstone: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQfgIKebWic&fmt=18 (the digital zoom goes wacko on me at the end. Apologies.)

Mist/Apparition behind "shiny" grave: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=taFfuXdclq4&fmt=18


We referred to one particular tombstone as the "shiny" grave because it reflected light in a weird way that the others didn't, not that it was anything necessarily paranormal in nature.

Anyway, some have said that they see nothing out of the ordinary in either video and others have been too creeped out to watch them again. I have one more that I might edit and post here, it's a little more weird than either of these.

I used to live by a cemetery and would go looking for ghosts at 2 or 3 in the morning. Never found any...they must have stayed in their house if they're still around.
