Sean Walker plans to propose to his girlfriend Leila while they luxuriate on a Caribbean cruise. Instead, Sean suffers severe cruise interruption when Leila mysteriously disappears, and his desperate search for her leads him into a tangled web of inter-terrestrial intrigue. Equally desperate, disoriented, and terrified, Leila is trapped in an undisclosed location. "The Event" TV show fills-in the back-story as the current drama unfolds: As World War II drew to a close, an alien craft crashed in Alaska; government scientists determined the passengers were 99% identical to humans, but that radical 1% difference has the capacity to wreak havoc on the American population, among whom several of the survivors have been hiding and thriving. The CIA, naturally, has kept this information super-top-secret until technology beyond current human capacity foils an assassination attempt on President Elias Martinez. Which of these historic developments officially qualifies as "The Event" TV series remain approximately as uncertain as the reasons why Sean and Leila must forego serious tanning for all of this intrigue.

Real people who genuinely hear and fear things going bump in the night know they're gonna call "Ghost Hunters" TV show, everyday equivalents of Dan Akroyd and Bill Murray except that these ghost hunters try to document their work with vaguely scientific instruments. "Ghost Hunters" follows the sometimes daring and frequently just creepy exploits of "The Atlantic Paranormal Society" (TAPS) as they investigate spectre-sightings and reports of disturbing hauntings of all kinds. Outfitted in team jackets and shirts but otherwise looking like ordinary dudes, Jason Hawes, Grant Wilson, and their team-members sit patiently and wait endlessly for their gadgets and widgets to register the presence of ethereal beings. Unlike other haunt-hunting shows that capitalize on cast-members' freak-outs for suspense, "Ghost Hunters" shows the TAPS guys gleefully chasing the ghosts, asking them questions and taunting them. Whether or not the investigators ever throw a net over a ghost, "Ghost Hunters" TV sries does a spectacular job of documenting the social history of some of the world's most infamous places.
