Ghost Hunters: Difference between revisions

* [[Hell Gate]]: Almost became literal when the Ghost Hunters International crew investigated the Hell's Gate Air Tram in British Columbia.

* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: Jason and Grant, who have families outside of work but are very close friends.

* [[Intercontinuity Crossover]]: the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3QFbPuqPyc television commercial] for ''[[Hellboy (Film)|Hellboy]]: The Golden Army]]''.

* [[Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane]]: A key part of the investigations, in both the on-site evidence gathering and the evidence analysis, is "debunking" - finding logical explanations for what's being claimed as paranormal. In one case Jason and Grant used their experience as plumbers to determine that the "blood" running down the wall was actually a leaking cleaner from a bathroom. That being said, as the show's gone on, it's become very rare to see an investigation that comes up dry, whereas in the early seasons when investigations of homes were commonly featured, the ratio of hits to misses was about even.

* [[Noodle Incident]]: Jason and Grant never give specifics about their personal paranormal encounters that occurred before the formation of TAPS.

* [[Not Using the Zed Word]]: They almost never say "ghost," instead saying "haunting" or "activity."

* [[Oireland]]: Barry

** Inverted somewhat in the "Manson Murders" episode where ghosts are asked to make the K-2 meter spike twice for "yes" and once for "no".

** Played straight whenever they use the "loosely-capped flashlight" trick.

* [[Revolving Door Casting]]: Ties into the previous trope. A lot of team members have come and gone, either to move on to other paranormal groups (or even starting their own), move to ''Ghost Hunters International'' (which is what's happened to some people who were causing friction in the main team), or quit entirely.

* [[Roswell That Ends Well]]: During the investigation of Wright Patterson Air Force Base, Steve and Tango came across the book ''[http://www.amazon.com/Roswell-Report-Fiction-Mexico-Desert/dp/016048023X The Roswell Report: Fact Vs. Fiction in the New Mexico Desert]'' in one of the offices. The next day, they contemplated investigating the base's Hangar 18 in secret.

** In one episode, Steve and Tango talk about "[[Ghostbusters|crossing the streams]]".

** Even the ghosts themselves seem to give shout outs. In the "Lullaby Lane" episode, an EVP recording reveals a mysterious voice saying "There is no Jean here" which sounds kinda [http://www.entertonement.com/clips/xsjckwzhcn--Ghostbusters-There-is-no-Dana-only-Zuul-Ghostbusters like]...

'''Jason:''' Uh, yeah. I have. I heard some big bald jerk guy...<br />

'''Grant:''' I don't know. I haven't watched it. I've heard it's not very good. }}

* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?]]:

** Steve has phobias for just about everything...''except ghosts''. Spiders, heights and flying are his major fears, and he gets freaked out by insects in several episodes.
