I really loved watching this show when it was on the air and sadly I have to watch it on netflix now. This show was pretty entertaining and loved watching the different locations and castles. There did always seem to be a castle somewhere that needed investigating.I watch a lot of movies like this and love horror films also. I think this show was better then the original ghost hunters. I am unsure why they took this show off the air. The crew they used changed a lot but the new members were quickly likable and enjoyable. I think that this show would have done well for a few more seasons. This show is great for anyone who likes ghost stories and castles. Did I mention they see a lot of castle? lol

Let me state, for the record, that I am a fan of paranormal/ghost hunting type shows, and my opinion here is not based on personal beliefs.That being said, I hated "Ghost Hunters International." Not only does it lack the tension and excitement of the original, but it seems that Barry Fitzgerald and co. draw their conclusions from a minimal amount of investigation.They'll wander around a haunted location for a few hours during the night with their night-vision cams, etc., and chatter pointlessly throughout. On top of that, they don't seem to "investigate" every room or even the areas of the location that are reported to have the most paranormal activity. Then, based on their brief "hunt," they'll prematurely conclude whether or not a location is haunted.It may be that this show suffers from a lack of skilled editing, something that shows such as "Paranormal Witness" do not. Besides that, however, it really seems that the investigators are amateurs. No repeat viewing for me.

This show is only good for a few laughs and that's about it. Otherwise it's mostly composed of watching them roam around in some locale while being filmed in a weird night-vision that gives them evil looking eyes.In an average episode they will proclaim such things as "Did you hear that?" or "I think I saw something." or "I saw a shadow over there." No real evidence is really shown that really shows a ghost, it's mostly some so called audio evidence of a knock or some voice that is just about impossible to make out. The photographic evidence too is nothing of note as it's composed mostly of some shadow or mist.Somehow it reminds me of the opening of Ghostbusters, where they are investigating the ghost at the library and when they encounter her they don't know what really to do and run out. Somehow I can imagine the same thing would happen to these guys if they actually saw a real ghost, they would run away in a heartbeat.About the only good thing about the show is seeing locales that one will likely never be able to visit, and for that I give it 2 stars.

I don't know how anyone can take shows like this seriously? Same old crap time and again, and there is never anything shown to prove anything out of the ordinary has happened. Just because someone can not pin point the reason for hearing a thump noise, does not mean it's automatically paranormal, it means that they don't know what made the noise. Made up story lines from other nut bags about Hitler's ghost and so on only make this show more laughable as they try and communicate with Germans in English. Whether it's Ghost Hunters or GHI, nothing credible has ever been shown, and it surprises me that these people can carry on doing this despite hundreds of investigations which prove fruitless. It's even more laughable that the viewers can still believe in paranormal things after viewing so many failures. How slow are some people to comprehend that you can't find evidence for things that don't exist? Like GH, they also have the fake little light indicators which are obviously lit up by someone with a remote when they pretend to talk to spirits. One wonders why that if their static light meter is working so well, that they don't apply multiple technologies at one time, using thermal, evp, and the electromagnetic gadgets once they pretend to pinpoint a spirit communicating with them. Might help with the believability, but again, since there are no such things as ghosts and demons, they play the hand they got to try and fake out the audience.I give it 2 stars because it's not that good, but is watchable if you need to laugh at the idea that people still believe in ghosts, and waste precious hours of their lives actually hunting them.
