Yes.... Ghost Adventures is better than TAPS!!!
Phillips, I have my staff members who have worked with TAPS and a friend who is part of another paranormal society happened to know PRS (aka as Paranormal State) and another knows Ghost Adventures. What I heard that all of their techique are different. What I know is that they said they all are nice (of course, they all are celebrities and have to be nice to the public!) however, in our circles, TAPS have generated controversal things happened to them. Many of us, as I admit, that TAPS had staged a couple of so called "paranormal" evidence. One time it was on Halloween live that a "ghost" pulled Grant Wilson's winter jacket collar only to be faked by a pull by Grant himself. Both Skeptics and many Paranormal Investigators caught that and it was debunked but TAPS aruged that it was true.
Another problem with TAPS is that they are strictly controlled by Piligram Productions that made the show and created Ghost Hunters International (GHI).. The producers lately are disappointed in the GHI rating has slipped and fired many of the GHI staff. Also there were some of them having disagreement. So as you can see TAPS and GHI are more staged than Ghost Adventures.
PRS I think was more honesty as well as Paraormal Cops and a couple of other groups. However, those shows were cancelled by their cable companies due to rating slip or the disagreement between the societies and the producers.
Ghost Adventures.. what they do is a bit more rough by challenge something paranormal out there and I noticed almost every week a ghost kept saying it wanted to k i l l Zak. I think he has an attachment on him. That means a ghost from an investigation or a demon followed him to every investigation to haunt him. That is my opnion.
That is a problem with Zak. I am not sure he knows that.
Whilst Ghost Adventures team working on actual investigations, their style is to come on for TV.
Please remember that producers want come ons, the WOWs and the Woo! for rating and money. If paranormal groups on TV can not find anything, they end up will have a boring show and no one will want to watch them!
That is the sad part that the producers want what they want. If we are going to have a show... we will be the producers ourselves filming then we go out and do investigations then air on TV. Our way! We will not accept any producers' invitation for us to go on TV.
