Ghost Lab Will Face Angry Spirits but Not This Reporter
October 30, 2009 by Cynthia
The burly guys of Ghost Lab, Discovery Channel’s newest reality ghost hunting series, have no problem facing off against an angry spirit, but when it comes to a probing reporter, they go running the other way.
When I first made mention of the show here on SFUniverse, I thought it would be a quick blip and gone, but now, nearly a month later, I’m still getting comments on that post and they’re not all that nice.
Not long after, I was offered an interview with the guys behind Ghost Lab and I said great. I told them that my readers here wanted to know why another ghost hunting show and why on Discovery? A few days later, I’m told nevermind. They aren’t interested in doing a “negative” interview.
Now, usually, I’m a no bad news reporter. I don’t slam people unfairly and I try to be very objective, so I wasn’t going to post about this but obviously, I had second thoughts.
If you believe in your work, you should be willing to defend it. I’m not TMZ. I’m not looking to for scandal or secrets. I just wanted these guys to tell us what makes their show different from the rest. And it’s not like I went gunning for them, they came to me, offering to do the interview in the first place.
So what do you say Ghost Lab guys? Would you like to write a rebuttal? I’d be happy to print it here at SFUniverse.com.

Seems reminiscent of the new “V” TV show where the alien female asks the reporter not to ask any questions that would paint them in a bad light. I would also like to know what makes their show any different from “Ghost Hunters” or the show on the Travel Channel. Why should I watch this show over the others? Come on, Ghost Lab? Win us over!
Now I know I’m correct about them. I read the above info Cynthia posted about Ghost Lab once again showing everything is on their terms. This behavior suggests everything I stipulated in my last post is correct. They think they are “stars” real big time stars from that Facebook link I read a friend sent to me. I thank you so much for doing this and I hope my other comment wasn’t offensive. People who have nothing to hide, hide nothing. I read above how they refused to do a negative interview with you and that only confirms what I stipulated in my 1st post. They came to you. When you put yourself out there like everyone else on TV you have to expect not all comments will be positive. There will be some negative ones but you answer the best you can and move on. THis only proves all the other comments about the bad attitude and “I’m the bomb” attitude. All thos does is put a bug in peoples ear and they think were all in it just to be on TV and look cool.
Thanks Cynthia for starting this thread/forum. It’s nice to read all the opinions even if I don’t agrre. That’s the point to all this, not everyone will agree. The world would be very boring. Lol. Have a great Holiday.
