A word (well more than a word) about Ghost Hunters

In case you didn't know, there's a show on the Syfy (formally sci-fi) channel called Ghost Hunters.  I have it set to record new episodes and I've always found it to be interesting.  I do realize that it's a taped show and that with creative editing anything is possible.  I have no idea how much editing goes into the show, but I noticed something on a recent episode where they went to New Castle, PA.  In one scene, Brit and Adam (2 investigators for TAPS - The Atlantic Paranormal Society) had placed 2 k2 meters at the end of a hall and they were standing at the other end bye a pair of doors (the doors were on their right).  At one point one of the k2 meters flashed red and you could see that Brit was standing nearest the doors.  They showed what was going on down the hall and came back to Brit and Adam who had switched places.  Now Adam was closest to the doors.  The other k2 meter went off and when they switched back Brit was closest to the door.  Were the switching places or were they retaping the events?  Usually when you see something a bit off, you know they were re-taping a scene and not everything got put back in the proper places.  Usually those things don't happen or they get re-taped again with everything in it's place and you never know.

I like the show, but now I do wonder how much rehearsing and retaping they do.

Any of my loyal readers have any ideas?
