Yes, Donna was on the show because these eppys were filmed during the summer. Subsequent to that, she left GH to join a project with Brian and Andy. It was very hush hush, but it has now been announced that starting in January, Sci-Fi will debut Ghost Hunters International. This appears to be a spin-off show and will star Brian, Andy and Donna along with a couple of other previously unseen TAPS members as they explore haunts in Europe. So cool! Another GH show to watch!
OK, about Wednesday's shadow woman the Seattle area home. I hate to say this, but after reviewing the evidence and reading the boards, my conclusion is that the shadow/shape of the woman is actually the small statue that is located on the coffee table in front of where Steve was filming. As he was standing up, the camera sweeps past the statue making it appear "life size" because it is very close to the camera. Of course, Im not 100% sure but thats what it looks like to me. Of course, I dont think this was an intentional misleading thing. Oh well! I still love the GH's!
