Ghost programmes

So the other day I was watching one of those programmes about a haunting and I found myself getting bored. See it's always the same crap isn't it?

It's always either a haunted basement, room in a hotel or house, or a bar. There is always some moron that sits there with a drill whiney voice telling 'their story' and its always the same one.

"I felt an eery chill", "the room was oppressive", "no one ever went down there they felt like they were being watched" yeah yeah yeah change the record. Like ghosts go about depressed and turning the heating off stalking people, they probably have better things to do. If I was a ghost I'd be hiding important stuff, moving things around, making the dog bark incessantly, pushing people over, slamming doors, pulling hair, poking people the list could go on forever.

This particular story had a woman that said "I had a viewing at the house, it felt creepy, even the sales agent didn't like it". Oh really, so why did you buy it then? Lies, you wouldn't buy a house that you didn't like the feel of. Oh I hate this house I'm just going to put my life savings in to it so I can spend everyday in it feeling horrible. I mean at least make it believable.

There is always that snotty historian as well, so proud of themselves that they went through some archives, read some information, put two and two together and came up with seventy four. As the montage of the room, now mysteriously cracked and in black and white plays, they reel off the same cock and bull story.

It's always a maid who had an affair with the master of the house, fell pregnant so he bludgeoned her to death afraid the wife would find out. Or a girl who fell in love with a man who got married to someone else so she hung herself. What about the bar owner who loved it so much he still protects it to this day from new comers. Not forgetting the evil priest who was actually in to satan worshiping. It's never something different is it? "The kitchen is haunted by a woman that chocked on a sandwich and to this day hides the ham." You never hear that!

And why are they always in white Victorian dresses? Is that sprit dress code? Their never in a hoodie and jeans.

Sometimes they have a recording from the room and its so hard to understand they put up subtitles they made up on top of it. Again it's always "get out" or "leave" it's never "good afternoon" or "I like what you have done with the place". It's like all ghosts are automatically arseholes, you die and become an aggressive twat apparently.
