Portals To Hell: The Old Paulding Jail

Despite the promising start, sadly there was nothing "special" about the extra-long episode, it just played out like any other episode in the season but more drawn out. In fact, pretty much the whole first hour lacked any ghost hunting at all.

The first hour of the show was all talk, interviews and research, something that normally takes up the first 25 minutes of the show - and already felt too long. It was padded out even further with the inclusion of a psychic sweep of the building conducted by medium Michelle Belanger.

Michelle was blindfold and had no idea where she was, and the information she gave was very accurate. It was a good demonstration of Michelle's abilities, but it added nothing to the narrative of the episode and basically served as nothing more than a re-cap of what the witnesses had already told Jack and Katrina.

During the investigation itself they held vigil in the eerie tunnels under the jail, the creepy cell blocks. They didn't attract a huge amount of activity, other than various words and phrases that seemed to be coming through a ghost hunting device called a Geoport, a device which randomly scans through a bank of phonetic sounds allowing entities to produce intelligent responses to their questions. At one point a voice seemed to say Jack's name.

Perhaps the best bit of evidence was the moment when Jack felt as if something had tugged him, despite nothing being seen behind him on camera. However, as soon as this happened Jack cut his vigil short and went back to the base room to review the footage, rather than trying to encourage the spirits to repeat the incident.
