On the show Ghost Hunters, the team would always go on a tour of a supposedly haunted location with the homeowner or property manager. After they left and found nothing, the real truth would come, the person who was claiming the house was haunted was suffering from mental illness.

This is incredibly sad, but it needs to be mentioned. According to people who worked on the show, they wouldn’t vet witnesses before meeting them. Then, after filming, they would find out the person had schizophrenia and needed help, not an exorcist.
