Skeptic

I've been bemused by the TV programs such as 'Most Haunted' and 'Most Haunted Live', where they are claiming to be encountering spirits in places. I think they're nothing more than cheap entertainment à la 'The Blair Witch Project'. I can't see how people can be convinced that these things are true. The mediums they have on the show have knowledge of the locations, they're playing on the fears of the people there, and they're good at reading people. It's a scam, and harmless entertainment. The only problem is that it's convincing people that this stuff is real.
