"Teens track ghost on YTV"
By STACY SHAIKIN -- Calgary Sun
Joe Macleod ain’t afraid of no ghosts.
Macleod, host of the YTV show Ghost Trackers, says he may have been a bit of a skeptic at one time, but now he believes in the supernatural.
“None of the trackers know the sites we send them into,” he says.
“There have been many instances where the kids explain seeing something that has been seen before by a number of witnesses. It happens a lot.”
Ghost Trackers is a live-action reality show where kids compete to become the ultimate ghost master by investigating paranormal activity in a variety of haunted venues.
Contestants are judged by a group of their peers on their skill, teamwork and competence.
If they succeed, they graduate to subsequent competitions.
Macleod, who grew up in Calgary, says he takes a lot of heat from his buddies about being on a kid’s show about tracking ghosts.
“I get messages all the time asking if they can get a parabolic microphone,” he says. “They don’t pull any punches. I don’t mind because I’m getting paid.”
Although Macleod takes some ribbing, he says he doesn’t think this is your typical kids show.
“We don’t play it that way,” he says. “Kids are older a lot younger now.”
Ghost Trackers appears on YTV on Sundays at 10 p.m.
