I don't know what this was about. My jaw dropped during some parts of it and I don't know really what to say because it was RIDICULES! I didn't mind the "tech guru" because he seemed like he at least had some idea of what he was doing, but when they started "naming people" such as "the front man," "the role player..." I was like "you have got to be kidding" and for a short time thought it might be a mockumentary or something The Onion would come up with. There are a lot of paranormal reality shows on and a few of them I quite enjoy because it is talking about an experience that happened to them and you can see the actual people and hear their story, Paranormal Witness is good one. However, when the one guy, "the antagonizer" started yelling at air, I thought it might be a student promo film of some sorts because yelling at air seemed a bit asinine. Then when the "role player" (?) started to act like one of the victims, I nearly fell out of my seating laughing because it was so STUPID. All of the fancy names they wanted to give themselves, for whatever reason, just make the show more of a joke that no one can take it seriously or even attempt to. I have watched Ghost Adventures and thought they were real cheesy with some of the stuff they do, but this is nothing but cheese through and through. I don't know if they were actors or what because it is hard to take this as a real show based in reality when the ones doing the show are so idiotic in what they do, such as screaming and daring the spirit to come out of hiding as if they will pop up and say "Oh, hi, I will be there in a minute, want a sandwich while you wait?" I mean, come on, even I can act better than that. Oh, and the "role player" acting like one of the victims is a terrible insult to the victims of Jack the Ripper. If I would have been told about this show, I would have thought someone was messing with me but you can't make this crap up.

This show seems so fake that I would not be surprised if on the next episode they come out and say "GOTCHA!" Do yourself a favor, if you are interested in the paranormal or supernatural, don't watch this show. I would call it two guys that seem to know something about what they are doing and two guys and a chick who are complete imbeciles.

This show is absolutely ridiculous! I wish I could give it less than one star. I want to give it negative stars. At least Destination Truth was interesting and the host was amusing. These people get to travel to all these awesome locations and all they do is act like a bunch of Jack bags. This is the most laughable "Ghost Hunter" show yet. In the last episode the team went to find out if Vlad the Impailer is an actual vampire. Seriously? "The antagonizer" screamed and swore to draw out Vlad and it made me think of a child throwing a tantrum. So far in every episode they have to find some reason for the girl in the group to role play to draw out the ghost. In the first episode she dressed like a modern day prostitute in order to get Jack the Rippers attention. The camera focused on her legs for most of the act. If the intent was to get Jacks attention and not the male viewers why wouldn't she be wearing a dress from his era? I could go on and on but it's just easier to never watch this show again and hope that syfy gets a clue and jumps off the ghost bandwagon.

I watched two episodes of this garbage show. Jack The Ripper and Vlad the Impaler. I fell asleep during the Jack The Ripper episode, but the one part I remember is that one of the kids claimed he was talking with one of the ripper's victims named Annie Chapman, but he kept referring to her as Amy Chapman. As far as the Vlad the Impaler episode goes, I didn't know that Vlad and his wife spoke English in life, but they both seem to understand it now that they are dead. When I die, I want to learn Swedish first. Honestly, this is so stupid it isn't even funny. Usually I can laugh at these shows and how daft some people truly are, but this is so irritating it makes the viewer want to smash their TV set. The funniest part of the show is the airhead girl tries role playing games to bring out the spirits (look forward to her next role as waitress at a truck stop) and the tough guy character that yells at all the spirits and demands they come out before he gets mad. Vlad killed hundreds of thousands of people as a flesh and blood human being, but now that he is some undead being/ghost he is going to be frightened by some goof yelling at him. Please skip this unless you like to torture yourself.

I don't usually write reviews, but I have to contribute with my view on this one to make sure crap like this is not released on air any more. I actually feel bad for all talented directors, writers and journalists out there that do not get an opportunity like this. Also all the money wasted on this that could be helping people in misery out there.

Please note that every time they show the "spectrum reader", there is a camera pointing steady at it. They never show the meter moving live. Obviously someone was forcing that meter with a magnet or something and edited on the video at the right time.

I gave it a 2 rating mainly because they chose an interesting topic, with some names and pictures from that from the 1880's, but apart from that, it is a typical sensationalist and childish approach.

Let's find out who is part of the crew with mommy or daddy banking the show or with a very solid connection in the media(or debt from another previous fu..ck up :).

Waste of my time.

I enjoy watching shows about ghost hunting and will watch any show at least once. These shows are about entertainment but either the teams are forced to state ridiculous things are proof of ghosts, or they're just ready to accept anything as proof. My comments are regarding the episode about Vlad the Impaler.

This show it so silly I'm not sure where to start. Each team member is designated with a title - Point Man, Tech Guru, Brain, Role Player, and Antagonizer. The only female on the team is designated the Role Player, which seemed really sexist until I watched her in action. You can't take her seriously because she screams every single time something happens.

Then there's the Tech Guru, who comes up with essentially a tray (for the equipment) with ropes attached to lower it down into a 100 foot well to see if there's anything going on down there (which apparently there wasn't since it wasn't mentioned again). Seriously, do you really need a tech guy for that? There's nothing technical about it.

And the Antagonizer? The guy is screaming at nothing, trying to get a reaction from Vlad. Yes, I'm sure that Vlad, a man who killed perhaps 100,000 people, is going to be intimidated by some frat boy screaming at him. Also Vlad, his wife and victims did not speak English, so how did they learn it after they die? If he were still around, he would not understand anything the Antagonizer was screaming.

And how do they not know that Vlad had a wife named Ilona? Do they not do any research or even look up the castle/Vlad on the internet? Yet as soon as they know her name, they are able to locate and investigate her room?

They need to have some skepticism about any so called evidence that they find. This is an old castle made of stone. Yet every noise is proof of Vlad (or someone) haunting the place, and elicits a scream from the Role Player girl. Yeah, it must be supernatural because pieces of stone in a centuries old castle couldn't crumble or fall. And birds couldn't possibly fly into a window. And you'd hear something if it fell to the ground (even though the windows are closed and you're several hundred feet off the ground).

I really hope they didn't write their own intro which states their "... mission is to solve the world's most enduring crimes and mysteries," and that when something happens "...this rapid response team moves in." Really? Please tell me they don't really believe they are solving centuries old crimes and mysteries, or that their scheduled visits are a rapid response.

I may watch this again for the unintentional comedy, but not for any valid ghost hunting experiences.
