Paranormal State

Paranormal State is the name of a new (to me at least) television series on the A&E network. I just happened to record it the other night on A&E HD and watched two episodes today. The show is a reality (?!) show about paranormal investigators from Penn State University. They check out unusual circumstances that may be paranormal-related. It is a bit biased towards Catholicism (they believe in hauntings, demons, possesions, etc) but they also have a Wiccan on board for rounding out their armament versus the paranormal/spiritual world. I would like to have seen them take more of a skeptical approach like the TAPS show does on the SciFi network, but it is still entertaining. Here is their website.

I recommend you watch it some time and reply with your thoughts about it. I believe they edit the hell out of the show for dramatic effect, but I don't blame them. It would be boring as hell if they never found anything interesting (even if it is a bit manufactured.)
