Paranormal TV Shows

I like to watch many of the paranormal TV shows that are on the Travel channel and Scyfy channel, but I get disgusted with certain ones that misrepresent the paranormal. One such popular show depicts a three man "investigative team" going to various locations to investigate claims of hauntings which is all well and good, with the exception that this team makes it a point to deliberately provoke any entities that may well be there. They do this without regard for the problems it may cause for the property owners after they leave. Also, this three man team seems to find demons at practically every location they "investigate" and real paranormal investigators such as myself know this to be  bogus and a misrepresentation of the paranormal. Yes, we do encounter a demonic entity occasionally, but these men make it seem as though it is a common occurrence at every haunted location. The "lead investigator" of this three man team seems to take special delight in provoking demonic entities, thus putting himself and his two friends and anyone else who may be with them in danger of attack or even possession should they actually encounter a real demonic entity. When people see this garbage on their show, they assume it is the way the paranormal is and assume all hauntings are evil and demonic. New paranormal teams have formed and have relied on this misinformation about the paranormal to be fact, when of course, it is far from it. Shows such as this one do more harm than good for the paranormal field.
