I'm mostly sure that Josh Gates is in 'tune' with the paranormal, as well as several others on his crew. By in tune, I mostly mean comfortable, believers, respectful...but so many go into a paranormal investigation and they are just not ready for the reality that yes, some of us do linger after mortal death. Jael's reaction to getting her hand tugged was so bad, so wrong, and way out of line...be aware of your surroundings, you're in a school room where children congregated, and sadly where children perished in 1986. That was probably the first time (assuming child spirit) that the child had seen any living being since they died and the first time living beings were reaching out to the spirits. I guess the moral for Josh is, dude, whatever your attachment to this Jael person, she's not a good investigator on any level and she's killing your ratings.

The show's premise seems to be:
1. Let's get a bunch of techies together and go after predators.
2. Let's go out into the dark of night looking for it.
3. Let's chase it.
4. Don't bother hiring a local guide who knows the lay of the land or a hunter who's armed and can protect you from what ever it is.
5. Send Jael out as bait. I'm not sure what her job is, but then again, no one else on this forum seems to know, either.
6. Spend only part of one night looking for a predator and think you know what it was.
7. Do no follow up at all to collect any real evidence.
8. Since people's encounters and attacks were during the day, let's go at night when nothing definitive can be caught on camera.
9. Let's have "blair twit" style camera shots of Jael running away from everything and film nothing around at all.
10. Let's put it on TV and tell people we have something real to show them.And we wasted our time watching it. True, there were things that did happen that weren't explained, but no investigation longer than part of one night was ever done. So were they really looking for the "truth" or just something to put on TV?

They are always giving it product placement!

This girl is a wuss i think their team needs a crazy fearless woman that doesn't get scared and that is also on crack
