This is a work in progress, but here’s a set of partial rules for a Ghost Hunters<\/a> Drinking Game<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

Any suggestions for additions should be sent to the obfuscated e-mail address in the navigation bar over there on the left…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Viewers should divide into two teams: The Skeptics and The Believers. Ok, you don’t have<\/em> to, but it’s more fun that way… There will be times during the show when Skeptics drink, there will be times when Believers drink, and there will be times when Everyone<\/strong> drinks!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
Everybody Drinks When:<\/p>\n

Jason says, “Let’s go dark.”<\/p>\n

Jason says, “Let’s wrap it up.”<\/p>\n

Jason says, “Me and Grant.”<\/p>\n

TWO<\/strong> drinks if he ever says, “Grant and I.”<\/p>\n

Grant explains that “Orbs are just energy.”<\/p>\n

They show the Day Job<\/p>\n

They use their plumbing equipment for ghost hunting. Yay Rotocam!<\/p>\n

They acknowledge the presence of the SciFi camera crew<\/p>\n

TWO<\/strong> drinks if a SciFi crewmember speaks<\/p>\n

They refer to a “Full Body Apparition” as the “Holy Grail”<\/p>\n

Someone gets excited about something they see, and they immediately cut to a commercial<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Skeptics Drink When:<\/p>\n

Equipment fails (camera falls down, batteries die, laptop crashes, etc.)<\/p>\n

Someone plays a prank on the Ghost Hunters (team horseplay counts)<\/p>\n

The Ghost Hunters realize they’re recording themselves<\/p>\n

Tape reviewers call a ‘huddle’ and decide they’re looking at something mundane (dust \/ bugs instead of an orb, etc.)<\/p>\n

The “Reveal” does not include any technical equipment<\/td>\n

Believers Drink When:<\/p>\n

Two forms of equipment (EMF & thermometer) pick up on “something”<\/p>\n

Someone claims to have a “prickly” or “heavy” feeling<\/p>\n

They bring in a non-scientific investigator (demonologist, dowser, etc.)<\/p>\n

Something strange on tape can’t be explained as mundane<\/p>\n

The “Reveal” involves setting up any sort of equipment<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

The “Entity” rule! Everyone should pick a favorite euphemism for ghost (ex: Spirit, Entity, etc.). Drink when they use that term.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
