Syfy already has several reality series about the paranormal, led by Ghost Hunters. Now the cable network has ordered another one: School Spirits from executive producers Mark Burnett (Survivor) and Seth Jarrett (Celebrity Ghost Stories). The six-episode series will tell true ghost stories of hauntings that have happened at schools across the country. The stories will be told through cinematic re-enactments and testimonials of real students, teachers, parents and staff that have encountered paranormal activity.

Crappy Network, Crappy Programming, and all of Burnetts stuff looks the same. Scy/i “what ever” had a truly loyal and core audience. Its amazing how easily the effed it up with reality crap and wrestling. As an ad buyer I always knew exactly what demo I got with them. Now who the eff knows.
Oh Sigh-Fy, how you never cease to make us SMH. Now you work with the King of Crappy Reality Television? Sigh-Fy management wants to dilute itself into not solidifying what kind of audience it wants by buying all this programming for different groups. Not to mention Burnett’s drivel has been lacking in recent tries.
It’s sad that Cable Networks don’t want to clarify which age/gender groups its aimed towards. Or if they do, they tend to dilute it with their pilot buys.
Glad to see the SyFy network going down the right path. (sarcasm)
This network is a joke.
Just run some old Unsolved Mysteries episodes and save your money.
More reality ghost garbage. Why is this channel even still called Syfy. The Cartoon Network and BBCA shows more Sci-fi then this channel does.
Ah, Syfy, always eager to embrace their mantra of “imagine greater.” Sad fact is, this piece of crap will probably do far better than the network’s more interesting script-based series (and there aren’t that many of those).
It does feel like the net is going to the well once too often. On the other hand, “Paranormal Witness” had superb tech values and was often fantastically creepy, far more so in 43-44 minutes than many feature films. If I was crewing up for a studio thriller, I’d look to this production team.
SyFy seems to be working hard to get away from all science fiction for some reason. The first Ghost Hunters was OK, but a dozen versions of it is just a sloppy way to fill time cheaply. All the useless reality shows and wrestling (Wrestling? Really???) have nothing to do with science fiction. And what did they do? Fire all their programmers? Have the last Secretary set up the programming? Hours on end of the same shows back to back is not programming, it is the laziness of putting in a DVD and walking awy for 6 hours at a time, just to stick in another one. I find more science fiction on the CHILL channel and BBCA than SyFy. I hardly ever go there now and I used to watch it every single day.
