Q. I am a big fan of the show but some of the kids at school
say that it’s fake. Do you fake anything on the show?
Riley, Victoria BC |
| A. No way, Riley! As I say in each episode, everything you
see is real. We don't mess with the audio or the video, it's all real. Even my
jacket is real leather. That being said, there were a very few certain moments
when trackers thought they heard or saw something ghostly that turned out to
be part of a museum display or an animal or something. But we also mention
those times on the show when they happen and trust me every time I look freaked
out, I really am. |
Q. I think Ghost Trackers rocks! I
want to know the scariest thing you’ve ever seen while making the show?
Kelly, Thunder Bay, ON |
| A. Watching Freaky Findings for the
first time was actually a very scary experience, having been right there and
not noticing some of those shadows and spirits. Aside from that the thing
that sticks out the most for me from this season is definitely Kenta in Custom
House. It was the third last show and I won't give too much away because
it hasn't aired yet. Let's just say we both heard something very, very
scary while he was in the elevator. |
Q. . I watch Ghost Trackers
all the time and think you are the coolest host on TV. Do you ever get
scared when you're making the show?
Darryl, Truro, NS |
| A. All the time! Every time
I look scared, I actually am. Being in constant contact with the Tracker inside,
seeing and hearing everything they do makes me feel like I'm right there in the
house with them. |

Q. . I love your show and want
to do some ghost tracking of my own. How can I learn to be a ghost tracker?
Carlie, Woodstock, ON |
| A. Ghost Tracking is definitely an
intuitive job. That means you need to really be open and able to sense different
feelings. Although it's important to get to know your equipment (parabolic microphone,
EMF detector, etc.) sometimes the most important tool you have is your instincts.
Remember spirits don't normally show themselves visually or even with sound,
but that doesn't mean they aren't there. Feeling a presence and sensing what
they are trying to tell us is sometimes the best evidence you can get. So sharpen
up your awareness skills and then spend some time working through the Ghost Tracker
training game on the website and you'll be ready in no time. |
Q. I. Love the show, Joe. Just
curious: how did you become interested in ghost tracking?
Darrius, Montreal, PQ |
| A. . I've always been curious
about "the other side" and if ghosts really exist or not, ever since
I first saw the movie Ghost Busters. I didn't necessarily think "busting" the
ghosts was the way to go in real life, but it did make the idea of looking for
them seem really cool. |
Q. I am ten-years-old and think
your show is the freakiest thing on television. How can I be on the show?
Michelle, Calgary AB |
| A. Everyone has their own theory
on this and this is mine: I think when people die in a state of turmoil or unrest,
be it tragic or unexpected, a part of them stays here and either replays certain
aspects of their life over and over, or tries to contact us for a specific reason.
I also believe that the majority of spirits are not out to get us in anyway and
shouldn't be feared. Like Slimer. How could anyone hate him. Look at him. All
green and...slimey. |
Q. We live in a very old house
and I’m pretty sure somebody died in it at some point. I think my house
is haunted. What should I do?
Jenna, London, ON |
| A. Get...Out. Just kidding. The best
thing to do is try to talk to the spirit. Remember they don't want to hurt you.
Maybe try asking it what it wants. If you get scared then try to explain that
to the spirit. Say, "I know you mean no harm but you freak me out sometimes. You
can stay if you want, but no more creeping me out." You'd be surprised what
a little talking can do. |
