| i know that Rukia from Bleach and Shugo from .Hack would never get together but my friend sarah makes manga books and has all her friends make a profile using a japenese (check spelling)name. My boyfriend is a .Hack fan and i'm a Bleach fan so that is why that is my username. My favorite band is The Red Hot Chili Peppers THEY ROCK!! My favorite song is Stadium Archadium. Some of my hobbies are drawing and my favorite PARANORMAL INVESTIGATING (GHOST HUNTING). I love TAPS!!( the atlantic paranormal socioty!) Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson, along with other team members who belong to the group they founded, The Atlantic Paranormal Society (TAPS), investigate locations of interest by using electronic equipment which they feel is capable of detecting paranormal activity. TAPS's equipment includes digital thermometers, EMF (electromagnetic field) scanners, infrared and night vision cameras, handheld digital video cameras, digital audio recorders, and laptop computers. Other gear not shown on screen are an Ion Generator — a device that charges the air with electricity and theorized to help spirits manifest, and the White Noise Generator — an audio device that creates a static background noise and theorized to act as a catalyst for assisting entities in creating EVPs.[1] The team has also experimented, in at least one episode, with a geiger counter during their investigation to see if it would register any anomalous readings. When investigating a location, TAPS team members first survey the property with its owners, who describe their experiences at the site. Next, the team sets up electronic equipment in the apparent paranormal "hot spots." The TAPS team then spends several hours taking EMF and temperature readings, recording audio for EVP, and filming with digital video cameras. Many times, they will even try to verbally coax the "ghosts" into responding, while recording. Afterwards, the team spends several hours analyzing all of the data for signs of possible paranormal activity. A few days after reviewing the information, Hawes and Wilson discuss their findings with the location site owners, offer suggestions for dealing with any apparent activity, and answer any questions the owners may have. Since the show began airing, TAPS has recorded thousands of hours of audio and video data. Most investigations, according to TAPS, turn up cold with very little, if any, paranormal activity occurring. The ghost hunters claim to have several good recordings of strange mists, odd lights, moving objects, and shadowy figures that manifest before the camera and disappear quickly - all highlighted at the end of the show. TAPS does not believe every piece of evidence gathered is proof of the paranormal. To lend credibility to their investigations, the team tries to debunk what they find and look for reasonable explanations for things such as "cold spots" (that may be drafty windows), "moving objects" (that may have been accidentally bumped or tugged), "phantom lights" (that may be reflections of light from a passing vehicle), and "strange noises" (that may be a thumping branch or vermin in the walls). In addition to the investigative aspect, the show highlights personal conflicts and relationships among members of the TAPS team, which may be why the SciFi network categorizes the show as a docu-soap. In earlier episodes, part of the hour showed Jason and Grant during their plumbing job or personal lives but that has diminished since then. Like many reality shows, Ghost Hunters has developed some storylines which carry over from episode to episode. Former investigator Brian Harnois is portrayed as an unreliable misfit who exasperates the other TAPS team members. He is often used as comic relief. After being spooked in episode 105 during an investigation of Eastern State Penitentiary, Harnois's catch phrase was created: " Dude, run! " Technical Manager Steve Gonsalves is portrayed as reliable and unflappable, despite several phobias including fear of heights, spiders, and air travel. Hawes and Wilson often repeat their best advice to viewers who are unsure if they are experiencing paranormal activity: " When in doubt, get the hell out " A new spin off series Ghost Hunters International premiered Wednesday, January 9, 2008 and features TAPS veterans Robb Demarest, Andy Andrews, Brian Harnois, and Donna La Croix, along with Barry Fitzgerald (who appeared in the Ireland episodes of Ghost Hunters) and newcomer Shannon Sylvia. The format will be the same as Ghost Hunters but will feature investigations at locations around the world.

The show debuted in October 2004 on the American Sci-fi Channel. It should not be confused with the original 1996 Inca Productions show Ghosthunters produced for the Discovery Channel. The format was sold to the US to become Ghost Hunters. The only remaining link between the two shows is presenter Ian Cashmore who anchored the UK/Europe show. Cashmore piloted the U.S. show, but chose not to remain part of the US venture after he filmed the promos. The relationship between group leaders Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson is characterized as personal as well as professional. The two are also portrayed as parental figures of the TAPS "family." In episode 101, they are seen discussing how to handle a team member's tardiness: " Wilson: "Why don't you try to show you have a sensitive side?" Hawes: "Why don't you show you have a rugged side?" " Other personalities on the TAPS team like newcomers Dustin Pari and Dave Tango are shown to contribute enthusiasm and occasional horseplay. In episode 213, Tango was apparently duped into wearing a rhinestone tiara during an investigation, while Pari is portrayed as technically knowledgable and eager to display his worth to the group. However, substantial storylines concerning these cast members have not been developed. Philadelphia, PA - Eastern State Penitentiary Wilmington, NC - USS North Carolina Museum and Raleigh, NC - Mordecai House Eureka Springs, AR - Crescent Hotel St. Augustine, FL - St. Augustine Light Estes Park, CO - The Stanley Hotel (which inspired Stephen King's novel "The Shining") My favorite book is THE SISTERS GRIM. So if anyone wants to know what it is about here is an exert. Sisters Grim 2 :The Unusual Suspect: Mr. Canis had transformed into the savage creature known as the Big Bad Wolf. Since then, no one had seen him.He had locked himself inside his bedroom while he fought to put back his real life inner demon. every night, Sabrina and Daphne had heard the old man's painful moans and labored breathing. They would be woken by one of his horrible cries or the sound of him slamming against the wall of his bedroom, he was far from fine! FAVORITE ANIMAES inuyasha .hack bleach | |
