Donna Lacroix
“Recently I heard one of GhostDivas’ podcast in which they interviewed Donna Lacroix,” reports Javier Ortega for GhostTheory.com. “Donna Lacroix, a former TAPS team member, in what at first appeared to be a disgruntled former-employee, quickly made sense and defended her point of views about her former bosses,” reports Ortega. In the interview she talks about some really juicy gossip…
Lacroix says that Ghost Hunters is:
-Completely an entertainment show.
-Jason and Grant are ‘the kings’ and they had their whipping-boy in Brian and that she feels that Brian was exploited to the point of mental abuse.
-Everyone is out to stab you in the back.
-Rumor has it that there is a staging crew.
“One of the more interesting revelations is how Jason and Grant mentally abused Brian – Donna mentions how they were “brutal” and “mentally abusive” towards Brian Harnois,” reports Ortega.
Ortega also points out that he doesn’t watch Ghost Hunters any longer by saying, “As the show’s reputation grew more and more, so did their claims of ghostly evidence. Things became more overly-dramatic and you start to see outrageous things being captured on tape. Shadows popping in and out of corners, thermal images of ghostly kids running through walls and the ever so annoying “Dude! I just felt something,” screams seem to fill up each episode.”
While we don’t agree with everything Ortega and Lacroix have to say, we’ve got to agree with the “Dude! I just felt something” comment – It has driven us nuts for a long time.

According to their website, “The Ghost Divas dish out the straight talk with Donna LaCroix about TAPS and the community. You haven’t heard honesty on radio until you hear Donna speak.”

I’m sorry, but I have been watching the show since the beginning and I remember Brian Harnois. He was one of the most annoying and whinny people on the show. He couldn’t do anything worth while. He needed to be kicked off the show and I was happy when it happened. And as far as them being abusive to him, if he didn’t like it he could leave, Grant and Jay didn’t force him to stay. It was one of the best things to happen to the show for him to leave.
In a letter Donna wrote on the 15th, she admitted to saying things that weren’t true and retractded some of her statements.
I have been in this field since 2001, long before SYFY Ghost Hunters been on tv. I knew after a few ep’s that show sucked, it was mis leading, But that Brian Guy was a real goof. I meet them a coulpe of years before they went on tv, and they are just the same as on tv as in real life. I admit, the first season had a couple of good ep’s and some cool things there were trying, but they need to go! Now they have Steve and some other guy on there own show? geez..what’s next!
whatever people, you go out there and do all this stuff. they are out there to disprove things, debunk. thats what they do. and they find lots of the “sightings” to be explained by natural, normal everyday things. try watching the ghost hunting show on tlc or one of those other stations, they suck. and seriously, how can you put a man in a locker and have him nod his head when the locker is full of shelves? donna just couldnt handle it. she was just as bad as brian
other shows sucks too! Like i said, i’m a investiagtor of 8 years, longer then any parashow on TV! so I know what’s out there and TAPS, fakes shit to stay on tv, if you knew how a REAL investigation is, noo TV crew would want to put it on TV! that’s the truth, it can be fun to do, if your in it for the right reason!
TAPS are total fakers. I can’t even watch it anymore. And that fag Tango always thinks something is touching him, why even air him saying that when you cannot prove touch to the viewers. They all saw an opportunity to make some cash and they took it. That’s called a sell out.
Anonymous, you’ve been in the field for 8 years, right? So that makes you 10 years old now? Because from the way you type, your spelling, punctuation…. whatever. You’re either a kid or one of those dumb people. How do you write up reports on your investigations if you’re so bad at writing?
The one thing most people feel to relize is the fact that they are not ghost hunters, and they have never been ghost hunters. what i mean by that is I am a police officer and most people i deal with think they are pocket lawyers and police officers. They feel they know the law better than i do and they question and bash everything the police do. I am not a ghost hunter but when questionable things come up on hte show i rationalize it, just like jay and grant do on the show, and come up with a good solution. The thing about jay and grant is this. They seem to always be out to prove something does not exist. I dont think they arefaking anything. They see mto be honest, hard working guys who double check everything and go out of their way to show the client the thing they are showing them actually happened. as far as brian is concerned he always seemed shady. AS FAR AS TEHM SEEMING TO FIND NEWER AND BIGGER THINGS. AS THE SHOW GROWS IN POPUALRITY, AND NEW EQUIPMENT COMES TO PLAY, THEY FIND MORE THINGS. AND FOR ALL YOU NERDS THAT THINK IM AM PROVING HTE FACT THAT THEY ARE FAKING IT WHAT I MEAN BY THIS IS THEY REFINED THEIR METHODS OF GHOST HUNTING AND EQUIPMENT AND THAT IS WHY WE ARE SEEING DIFFERNT THINGS. THE OTEHR GHOST HUNTING SHOWS FIND JUST AS EXTRAVAGENT THINGS AS JAY AND GRANT. NEED I REMIND YOU, “I AM JOHN WIKLES BOOTH!!!!!”
Paranormal shows seem to be the “thing” these days. I try to watch the different shows out there and they all do a fairly good job…however, “Ghost Hunters” should be named “Ghost Debunkers”, as that seems to be their actual mission. I have seen “evidence” on their shows that would make me classify a place as “haunted”, but they will not say that…unless…of course…it happens to be a place that might make their living from being named a “haunted place”…ie, The Stanley Hotel. Jest sayin…Jason and Grant could lighten up on the their “orb” theories.
