They're Baaack!

Paranormal State, the A&E Network show chronicling the investigations of the supernatural by the Paranormal Research Society, started a second season Monday night.
PRS is an official Penn State student group which takes a scientific approach to ghost hunting and tries to help people understand the underlying causes of their possible haunting rather than immediately assuming spirits are at work. UB included a news item about them before their first season aired.
Sure, the magic of television probably makes events look more dramatic than they are. But the magic of television is also broadcasting the Penn State name over the airwaves through clothing the students wear, occasional shots of campus, and every time the students tell people where they are from. It is also showing students in action at pursuits other than sports.
In contrast to other ghost hunting shows, the PRS team approaches situations in a level-headed manner and don't tend to scream at their own shadows. Actually, their seriousness might help increase the spooky factor. (Even more spooky is that DH [Darling Husband] and I simultaneously wondered aloud what would happen to the show when founder Ryan Buell eventually graduates.) Oh, come on, it's the summer, what else are you going to watch?
