Donna - disgruntled witch or sepia toned whistle blower? You decide!
Regular readers of the site (thanks, Uncle Dave!) will know that I have an on again, off again relationship with Ghost Hunters. I hated it, then I liked it, then I was confused, then I was intrigued. It’s like Ghost Hunters was a sexy girl! But now…now I don’t know what to do. Because Donna LaCroix, ex Ghost Hunter, is talking shit. I would not have known except for this awesome guy who left a comment on an old post about Ghost Hunters today. He said:
Until about three hours ago I was a dedicated TAPS fan, like most I wanted to go were the have been and hoped to make it onto Ghost Hunters Academy. However I trusted blindly. Once I started using my head and my internet I’ve found some pretty amazing stuff that has made me an antifan. Biggest is the interview of former taps member, Donna LaCroix hosted by ghost divas. Here’s the link if you care to listen http://ghostdivas.mypodcast.com/2009/11/The_Divas_and_Donna-256773.html
fyi it’s kind of long but worth it. It’s so unfortunate that the truth just isn’t good enough for ScFy. In a field where so many people want to prove that carry this fire that all paranormal investigators are fake, why would hand them the fuel for the fire? Or at least bring some water to try and put it out.
So I clicked his link and I listened to the story and I found out some things:
- Explaining that you “tell it like it is” is actually code for: “I can’t express myself without being rude.”
- I need to interview more people for the site, so if anyone wants to be interviewed, let me know.
- Seems like the TAPS guys and the people who make their show are dicks.
- Seems like the show MAKES UP GHOST SHIT AND PRETENDS IT IS REAL!!!!!
I don’t know why this surprises me. I mean, the second word in the name of the fucking network is “fiction.” But even so. If those fucking douches are making up evidence, then I am gonna cock punch them both. Then they can check for EVP’s up their own asses. From…the tape recorder I put in there with my fighting.
There's something strange...in their neighborhood.

Stupid Girl. You should have gone to the mall. Nobody sees ghosts at the mall.
o I watched Paranormal Activity this past weekend and I realized that even though I was psyched to see it, I still wanted to punch it in the face when I was finished with it. But not for the reason you’d think. I don’t think I am mad at it because it is a fairly decent horror movie that someone made for cheap. I am mad that it is a fairly decent horror movie that you and I could have made for less than eleven thousand dollars and it would not have become some big sensation. Cause it isn’t THAT good.
Is it good at all? Well, I guess it depends on if you liked Blair Witch Project. If you did, then you will like this. If you didn’t you probably won’t like this. If anyone tells you that they are not alike, take that person’s eye and bite it. Hard. They are lying. If you changed the house into some woods, and the two people in this movie into three people it would be the same movie.
So why did everyone get such a boner for this movie? I really don’t know. There are a couple of good shock scares in it, but the ending (whether the theatrical version or the original) is stupid. The acting itself is good and I read that the director wanted to really make it seem home made in case some studio bought it and wanted to pretend it was real. And maybe THAT’S my problem with it.
See, I don’t care how shitty the camera work is, or how ‘real’ the acting and dialogue is (apparently there was not much of a script so they would ad-lib and seem natural) nobody would ever believe this is real. Why? Because: SPOILER ALERT - Spoiler after the cut!
