Do you think by watching the different ghost shows, like ghost hunters, ghost adventures and shows like that, is inviting the spirits into your home? I have been told that I shouldn't watch those shows, because of that. Just wondering about your thoughts?

Not at all. One phenomena I've encountered over the past few years is the impact these shows have had on people in general. I can;t tell you how many times I've heard the phrase, "Well, I saw the guys on Ghost Hunters do this" or ""Have you seen that show A Haunting? It's like that!". It's a slight form of mass hysteria, I think. Instead of watching these shows as entertainment they are using them to fuel their own beliefs. I've also seen a bad case where the woman we were working for was a recent widow who was living alone and just liked having the company of the investigators there (we found nothing other than some very high EM readings from an outdated electrical system, and a client with severe depression and alcohol problems - and she was a HUGE fan of paranormal tv. I personally counted 5 books on an end table in her living room about ghosts and hauntings).
I have never had anything follow me home from an investigation. I'm not saying it can't or doesn't happen, but through my own research I've yet to see anything to support the idea that it does. As far as television shows go, just remember that they are there for entertainment purposes only. Even the newer shows are not as cutting edge as they advertise themselves to be, and after the post-production people have gotten hold of the footage the camera teams turned in you are going to only see what the producers want to put out there, which is anything that will sell the show. Have fun watching, and don't worry about any wayward spirits finding their way into your house while you're watching.
