Is watching "Ghost Hunters" a sin?

I have a question and was wondering if I could get other people's opinions..

(I ask alot of questions here in these forums.. lol I don't have any other Christians really to talk to! So y'all are my go-to people)

I grew up not believing in ghosts at all. When I was 16, I got my first job working at a retirement center that was an old hotel built in the early 1920's. My mom worked there also. When I started, I heard stories but did not hold any belief to them. My mom was right there confirming to me that there is no such things as ghosts. Long story short.. our mind changed and this was NOT something that we were looking for.. but there was no denying that things were happening.. Everybody saw it, residents, managers, housekeepers.. so we weren't crazy.. lol but I started to believe in ghosts.

Now, I most certainly don't go looking for them or anything. I don't want to open those doors.. but I do like the show Ghost Hunters. I just think it's entertaining and I like seeing the old buildings and hearing the stories.

My husband is scared of all that stuff and he doesn't like those shows.. but I don't know, it's really hard for me to stop. I really like them and so my question is.. is this something I shouldn't be doing, being a Christian?

Like I said, I am not "ghost hunting" or anything, just sitting in the comfort of my "not haunted" home lol and watching them..

so what do y'all think?

I guess that's the easier thing to do than to actually engage in a debate.

Here's a thought: A Discovery/Syfy Channel throw down. The Mythbusters take on the Ghost Hunters. My money's on Adam and Jamie. Those ghost dudes will be sooooo busted.
