Amber BransonTV Bonus - Paranormal State
An intriguing horror reality show featured on A&E, "Paranormal State" follows the work of the Paranormal Research Society, founded as a student organization at Penn State (and now a professional organization), who help people with issues of supernatural or demonic forces.
According to the "About" section of PRS's official website, the show is "based on" the group's investigations. As such, it helps to take the episodes with a grain of salt. They are edited for dramatic effect, taking just over 20 minutes (after commercials) to show the case information, the investigation, and the solution.
Frequent guests on the investigations include mediums Chip Coffey and Lorraine Warren (the latter known for her work with her husband Ed on the Amityville Horror case).
In 20 minutes, there is not much time to actually feel involved in the situations or satisfied about the resolution. Little to no evidence is actually subjective. The variety of perspectives are interesting and the stories are entertaining, but these are minor bright points.
The show might be improved if it were longer with more of a fictional spin and a little less intense drama, as contradictory as those seem. More story, less possession.
Good with salt, but if given the choice between Paranormal State and Ghost Hunters, give T.A.P.S. a try.

Chip does amuse me, though, as far as psychics go.
