[edit] Formula
Seems like all the episodes follow the same formula:
1. Move into new house, one person usually objects to moving in. (Or object to the parent's hobby of Ghost Hunting)
2. Odd stuff begins to happen, the father/parental figure dismisses it at anxiety over being in a new house.
3. The fatherly/parental figure has to come to terms with that their home/apartment/business being haunted. After both witnessing and being told about the unusual activity.
4. The search for relief, such as mediums, psychics, healers, the Church, faith, etc..
5. Investigation. After being verified as being haunted by a third party.
6. Preparation for the confrontation
7. The Confrontation with the Evil Spirit
8. Victory over evil
9. Conclusion and Epilogue.
I got bored of the TV series, because it is really predictable.
[edit] Not always....
...like that. Sometimes the ghostly entities and/or demons are far too powerful for laymen to throw out. 205.240.146.37 (talk) 20:20, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] A few observations on the show....
Well, while it IS true that there seems to be a sort-of pattern to a good number of the stories, I notice the ones I've watched thus far seem to have the same common point: inexperienced numbnuts kids futzing around with stuff they barely understand let alone are able to control... because they think it's 'cool', and with the attention span of a commercial break, don't bother to clean up after themselves properly when they think they were unsuccessful. Leaving an uncontrolled portal to who knows where, where who knows WHAT can come through and scare the living daylights out of Joe and Jane Homeowner.
A few facts I think should be mentioned, from a semi-experienced viewpoint: energy is energy, be it metaphysical or otherwise. So a lot of the same principles that govern how more mainstream methods of dealing with energy are handled, may have a counterpart in the metaphysical realm. In other words, it can be redirected, contained, or dispersed.
Also, simply banishing or otherwise vanquishing the problem that has come through, is only half the battle. I notice that what seems to drive the people out of their homes, is the simple fact that the portal itself... the doorway that INVITED the problem in the first place, was never sealed or otherwise closed. Which is plain stupid really, it's like getting rid of ants but leaving the same open container of sugar sitting on the counter inviting MORE ants to come on in, open invitation.
Thirdly, it strikes me just from plain common sense.... that any experienced person in the metaphysical field OUGHT to know the same sorts of rituals and suchlike that open these portals to begin with. And ought to have 3-D computer modeling software, apply forensic knowledge to a case. Take witnesses' statements, recreate the original scene as it's commonly found and use that information to extrapolate the possible rituals involved. Figure out how it was done, you can find a way to UN-do it. Just a thought......
