Ghost Hunters vs Paranormal State

I'm so psyched to watch Ghost Hunters tonight since I haven't had a chance to watch it in three weeks due to the holidays. It is the only show I force all others to make plans with me around it so I can devote three hours to watching its re-runs, new episodes, and specials. I enjoy the people and fantasize about being part of their ranks of Ghost Hunting companions (though I would never be able to stay up as late as they do...I'm such a baby about my sleep).

Paranormal State I actually have a closer affinity to since I once was a Penn State University Student and I'm closer to the age and demographic of the members. However, I feel that Paranormal state is so childish compared to its peer. I was not the biggest fan of Penn State University and they do remind me of most of the students I didn't really get attached to from there. I also feel that it hearkens back to those awkward teenage years where everything paranormal is believable and there are still monsters living under my bed but that was cool. They believe everything and they're too goth for my tastes.

Ghost Hunters on the other hand has an older membership to their team and they don't believe everything that seems paranormal to BE paranormal. I like how they try to prove it false. Although in recent episodes they seem to be a little more lenient, they do have a criteria for a place to be haunted, unlike Paranormal State where they believe everyone and everything.

A good example is the soft touch by a ghost experience. While doing an investigation of a supposedly 'violent' demon, the Paranormal State crew stay a night to investigate the house. While in the dusty, cobweby basement, one of the members states he was touched on the shoulder. They automatically believe him and state that this is the most haunted of locations in the house. In Ghost Hunters, the members hear a witness explain that women sometime feel their hair lightly touched while in the basement. Upon investigation, they realize this is because of the spiderwebs that softly tug on the long hairs of the women. Problem solved. Evidence found. No evidence however for the lofty crew of sleuths from Paranormal State. The basically decide that since one of their members says its true. Its true.

So this is a small argument (I have tons more) of why Ghost Hunters is so much better than Paranormal State. I would continue my argument with other points but I am more than likely the only person on earth that even gives a damn on this subject so I'll finish here before you all realize how much of my time I waste on these thoughts.
