I wouldn't say Ghost Hunters was a reality TV show. Mainly because it's styled in the form of a documentary / investigative report, but also because any show called "ghost hunters" has absolutely nothing to do with reality...

True story time:
One day in secondary school a friend of mine brought in a pack of cards. I talked him into doing an experiment, He would shuffle the cards in any way he wanted. After the cards were adequately shuffled he would then one by one look at and focus on the top most card, I would attempt to guess what card it was then the card would be put aside. I could guess the suit of the card 100% of the time, I made mistakes guessing the exact number of the card approximately three times per 52 cards. After around three or four games he was utterly convinced I had super natural powers. Am I: A: psychic B: Lucky C: Intentionally omitting the fact he wore glasses to impede your ability to draw a rational conclusion. this experiment could very well have been number 40 of your 39 tests. On the face of it, it seems to suggest that psychic energy is a reality. How many of those 39 test will reveal under inspection that the examiners wore glasses? Now on topic: I'd also like to see these videos :>
Hoi Zaeme.

First point yeah probably (it *was* reality style but old style reality, when "reality TV" meant "fly-on-the-wall", if you get my meaning) but reality TV shows having something to do with reality?

A friend of mine had one on his farm, stopped his chickens laying, so he called in a priest who done an exorcism and after that the chickens started laying again he was told he had a poultrygeist

If poltergeist don't exist who keeps putting a knot in my vacuum cleaner cord? My cat Satan? I don't think so.
Now as far as mind reading goes, I believe my mother could read my mind. Every morning we would play a game. I would take a Flintstone (or Chocks) vitamin and my mother would guess what color I took by reading my mind. I would concentrate on the color and my Mom would guess it. Now as a young skeptic, I didn't believe it. My first impression was that Mom looked the vitamin bottle and knew which colored vitamin was on top. So then I would hold the bottle under the table and shake it up and then take one out. She would guess correctly. Experiment 2 I did was to think of a different color than the one I took. When I did that she would take a long time to guess, claiming she was having trouble. Sometimes she would guess the color I was thinking about, other times she would tell me I was thinking of a color other than the vitamin. After that we stopped playing the game. They did have a guy on TV one time attempt to do ESP with the audience. He held up a number of cards and concentrated on the picture (shape) on the card facing away from the camera. Mom sent her answers in and had them all correct. If fact she got a letter back claiming she was correct on the answers, but then again a lot of people got them correct, but supposedly the percentage was higher than random guessing. If fact neither me nor my sisters ever doubted that Mom could read our minds because she could tell us exactly what we were thinking.

Seriously, no-one has told me. It seems to be a case of mock me long and hard enough and I will go away. Do you think the evidence is false? Is there another explanation that I do not see? So far I can only guess at what is wrong with the evidence presented (not just by me) for the poltergeist phenomenon. I am not psychic, you have to tell me your critisisms before I can react to them.
Sean Hannity interviews a real exorcist and treats him as he is legit, so I know it is a lie because that is all Hannity knows.
