Sweden-based development studio A Different Game has apparently been watching too many Ghost Hunters episodes. I thought everyone knew that show was fake by now. They pull the same scams every week. Anyway, looks like the company is preparing Ghostwire, which is a game that uses your Nintendo DSi to hunt down spirits in real life.
No, I’m serious. You too can be a ghostbuster using the Nintendo DSi’s camera, microphone, and touch-screen. The idea is that players will locate ghosts in real-world places and figure out what those ghosts need to be at peace.
Which is most likely just you leaving them alone. We don’t have a price or release date yet. Probably comes with a preloaded EVP that sounds a lot like, “You are a sucker”.

Ghost hunters returned to the Marsh House in LaFayette Monday night to reveal information on the latest investigation on the historic residence, and have concluded the house is indeed haunted.
“It’s our opinion that the Marsh House is in fact haunted,” said Rick Howard, lead investigator with Ghosts and History of Southeastern Tennessee Inc., or GHOST.
Around 50 people attended the reveal.
GHOST re-investigated the Marsh House in April and picked up four new electronic voice phenomena, or EVP, three of which were responses to questions the investigators asked. EVPs are audio voice recordings that cannot be heard by the human ear.
The GHOST team collected several personal accounts during the investigation, which included some physical contact.
Several hours of audio and video were collected during the investigation. A photo was taken during the investigation that had an unusual figure at one of the doors of the Marsh House and as one child said, appeared to be a Civil War soldier.

Despite earlier reports of renewal, it was revealed this week that NBC has elected to cancel the Patricia Arquette paranormal series Medium after all. CBS, whose corporate sibling CBS Studios produces the show, is now reported to be picking it up.
Industry media is positioning the story as a feud between NBC and CBS. NBC co-chair Ben Silverman amazed everyone when he called Medium, created by Glenn Gordon Caron, “an aging franchise, without a single fan letter, with no passion.” Harsh!
“NBC’s cancellation of Medium is inexplicable to us,” CBS Studios responded in a statement. “The ratings don’t lie: Medium outperforms many of NBC’s renewed shows. We believe the show has a significant future and await developments.”
CBS Studios has reportedly convinced CBS Network to pick up the show. Of course, CBS already has a somewhat similar paranormal series, the high-rated Ghost Whisperer, after which Medium is being slotted (Fridays at 9, before Numb3rs). But savvy marketing will certainly package them as a Friday night ghost-watcher bloc, and Ghost as a lead-in should deliver a good audience to Medium.

The CW may be the latest network to make a bold move on Thursday.
After days of rumblings, the CW is said to have settled on launching the hot new drama “Vampire Diaries” Thursday 8 p.m., paired with “Supernatural.” “Vampire Diaries” would replace the staple in the time slot, departing veteran “Smallville,” whose final ninth season would air on Friday, probably at 8 p.m.
The network is set to unveil its fall schedule Thursday in New York.
“Vampire Diaries,” about a girl in a love triangle with two vampire brothers, is envisioned as a new tentpole series for Thursday night where the network already has built-in sci-fi audience with “Smallville” and “Supernatural.”

Psychic James Van Praagh, an executive producer of Hewitt’s show, “Ghost Whisperer”, had apparently told her that the relationship was doomed even before she and McCall, 32, split in January.
“I warned her Ross was not ready to marry her . . . He was afraid of wedded life,” the New York Post
quoted Praagh as saying.
Praagh, author of “Unfinished Business: What the Dead Can Teach Us About Life,” had found it tough to tell Hewitt, 30.
“I did not want to break her heart, knowing it would be broken in a few weeks anyway,” he added.
