In a surprise move, ghost actors have unionized, forming the Spiritual Screen Actors Guild, or Ghost SAG, and is planning to sue studios over back residuals for otherworldly performers from ghost-themed shows like Ghost Hunters, Ghost Adventures, Paranormal Survivor, My Haunted House, etc. IATSE applauded this move, saying: “Just because they’re dead, it doesn’t mean they’re going to work for free. They’ve still got to be able to put the ectoplasm on the table somehow.”
Industry insiders claim this unexpected move could bankrupt the whole paranormal TV show industry, leaving no money left the compensate the spirits, but leading spiritual medium Claire Voyant claims the ghosts don’t really want the money, but wish the ghost hunting TV show genre to give up the ghost, as it were, so they’ll stop being bothered all the time by novice paranormal weekend warriors who are constantly invading their haunted houses endlessly nowadays thanks to these TV shows. “Haunting a house was a good way to keep people away in the past, but with the popularity of these shows turning that around into attracting people instead, ghosts are going to stop haunting houses altogether pretty soon,” warned the medium. But will this possibility lead to a new all-out “catch them while you can” ghost hunting mania? Check your local listings for all the latest ghost-hunting action to find out!
