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!
