gotta admit .... sure doesn't seem like research was done. for example... whether you believe ghost hunters or not, just to say something like .... I don't know if there are any ghost hunters that try to look at what could really cause a situation .... is pretty telling you didn't do any homework. there are multiples "out there" (legit or not, and some better sounding than others). disappointing to know of missed opportunities for a more accurate and complete podcast.
