Reality Shows on Paranormal Activity

Now that reality TV shows cover everything from making extravagant cakes, winning a chance to have plastic surgery, and self proclaimed "guidos" fist-pumping in the Jersey Shore, reality shows about Paranormal activity seem almost normal in comparison. Although a reality show on paranormal activity, something that is not even labeled "reality" to most people, may conjure up an image of a team of people in Ghost buster outfits and pop familiar lyrics into your head..."There's something weird, and it don't look good. Who you gonna call?..." documenting the lives of people who work to communicate with, or even expel, paranormal activity is quite fascinating, and will give a little faith to skeptics. Here are some of the best paranormal activity-documenting-reality shows out there. But just a warning, they won't be covered with green goo. 

1. Psychic Kids: A&E TV

It's the image of a child's face, scared and shaking, as he whispers the infamous words "I see dead people." Although the kids on "psychic kids" may find deja vu in the movie The Sixth Sense, they're not getting beat up by ghosts or finding horribly disfigured dead people everywhere they go. Complaints of seeing unknown people by their bed at night, or when they closed their eyes, made their parents aware that their children had a gift. Or possibly a curse. Regardless, a team of experts comes to their home (with a camera crew capturing each moment), learns their story, and helps them to harness their abilities. This special team is made up of therapists, acclaimed psychics, researchers, and people who were once "psychic kids" themselves. In the end, the child realizes that he/she is not alone in the world.. cue heartfelt moment soundtrack... and finds a way to utilize their abilities. The most poignant part of this show lays within the title itself, these are kids. Not con-men mediums and psychics making to make a buck. They are innocent, and upset about their powers, not looking to utilize them for their own profit. It would make any Nay-Sayers of potential communication with the dead reevaluate their opinion. 

2. America's Psychic Challenge: Lifetime 

This show will not blow your mind, but it is very entertaining. A bunch of misfits, who label themselves psychics and mediums, come together to compete against each other so one may be named the winner. Their challenges include things such as searching for one man within an empty hospital, completing a reading for someone that they know nothing about, and walking into a place where a murder happened and being able to recite exact details. This show is about as fake as "The Hills" (... Spencer wasn't wearing those shoes a minute ago) but the entertainment levels are high enough to keep the seasons coming. 

3. Paranormal State: A&E TV

Warning: Do not watch late at night, while home alone. (Learned from past experiences) This one is creepy. Led by Paranormal Research Society Founder Ryan Buell, along with his investigating team, this shows records the team going into peoples homes and building that have reported paranormal activity. This is the closest you'll get to real life ghost busters. According to the website, past cases have included "a couple besieged by paranormal activity in their home, an aggressive poltergeist in Maryland, and a ghostly has nicknamed "Lady Vampire" by the Texas family she torments." These ghosts most definitely are not named Casper The Friendly Ghost, this show is dealing with much darker spirits. When the victims of this unwanted paranormal activity call the team, they come in and with the use of Electronic Voice Phenomena recordings and video documentations hope to 'solve' the case. With video recordings of the team members inside haunted areas, describing their feelings and the sounds around them, this one is sure to give you goosebumps. search Society founder Ryan Buell and his team of investigators
