Spooktalkular returns with a little edgier show than normal.  No, this isn’t going to be the norm, we just went where the material led us today.
Frank takes a rant out on Ghost Hunters Academy.  We discuss ‘The Haunted’, ‘Psychic Kids’, and a Jack the Ripper special on the Discovery Channel.  We also have a lengthy discussion on a recent ‘Paranormal State’ episode.  Our independent music break featured ‘Chaos Engine’ by TenPenny Joke
All in all, a great, fun show.  It’s good to be back!

After making it about half way through the latest Ghost Hunters Academy, I decided to do a quick search for GHA on Twitter.  I noticed a post about the possibility of Jane Riley being an actress which, I have to admit, perked up my ears since I am always looking for the full story of everything.  I went on to search futher when I Googled Jane Riley Ghost Hunters Academy and got the following:

Now, if you notice, the first return is Hulu and the second under it says that Jane rated herself 5 out of 5 stars.  Nothing ticks me off more than self serving ratings.  That is why you will never see a review from Laura or myself about Spooktalkular.  Needless to say, I was curious so I clicked and got a message that the page couldn’t be found.

This screams to me that someone had posters remorse and deleted it after they posted which, perks my ears even more.

Well, fortunately, in the world that is the Internets, nothing is ever truly deleted, so thanks to the Google cache of the page, all is safe.  I was not prepared for the comments that little Jane left for her fans.  She does not seem to be a happy person with the show or how she was edited.  She speaks to being verbally abused by Steve Gonsalves and being filmed when she started crying.  This doesn’t surprise me.  Steve comes off as someone who could be one of the biggest jerks ever especially on GHA.  Shoot, you can almost watch his ego grow by the minute on camera.

Here are the screen captures of the posts.  I’m betting she posted those comments, then, she got a call from someone at Pilgrim Television suggesting that she delete the comments.

Remember folks, this is a TV show.

Enjoy and please, by all means, comment!
