Sci Fi Channel's Ghost Hunters - The Spaulding Inn

Okay, did the TAPS guys cross the line on last night's episode of Ghost Hunters? As y’all know by now, Jay and Grant went out and bought The Spalding Inn, an old haunted hotel. Jay and Grant are in the process of renovating the Inn when they, their wives, and their kids began to come across strange goings on.

So what to do? Well, investigate and put the investigation on the TV.

To keep the investigation on the up and up and not appear biased, Jay and Grant sit this investigation out, and bring in their friends from Ghost Hunters International. No bias there, right?

It wasn’t like if Jay and Grant had brought in Zac Bagans and the guys from Ghost Adventures.

But did Jay and Grant cross the line of view trust by running what could be seen as an hour long infomercial for The Spalding Inn?

Well no, of course not. Featuring the Spalding Inn on the TV is no different than when they wear their TAPS shirts and TAPS hats. It’s all commercialization, baby.

I say more power to Jay and Grant. They are combining their love of ghost hunting with the love of being hoteliers, and that equation equals money.

That’s what America is all about. Sure, last night’s episode was a little cheesy. Come on, did anyone really think Robb or Joe Chinn would have told Jay and Grant that the Inn wasn’t haunted and that they should pack it in and return to full time ghost hunting?

Of course, Robb was gonna tell Jay and Grant that the place was haunted.

But last night's show was fun. It was good to see Joe Chinn and the rest of the GHI gang. And like most women, my wife has a thing for Barry Fiztgerald. Must be that accent.

Well, this episode worked, me and the wife want to check out The Spalding.

So, for fans of Jay and Grant, The Spaulding episode was no surprise. The surprise would have been Jay and Grant NOT doing any kind of televised investigation.

Good luck, guys, in your new endeavor.
