I caught the late night reruns of it. Wasn't bad, just wish the episodes were longer(like maybe 2 hours rather than 1). Other than that, pretty good show.

An AE Billboard 'Whispers' a Spooky Message Audible Only in Your Head in Push to Promote Its New 'Paranormal' Program



[link to adage.com]

NEW YORK (AdAge.com) -- New Yorker Alison Wilson was walking down Prince Street in SoHo last week when she heard a woman's voice right in her ear asking, "Who's there? Who's there?" She looked around to find no one in her immediate surroundings. Then the voice said, "It's not your imagination."

No, he's not crazy: Our intrepid reporter Andrew Hampp ventures to SoHo to hear for himself the technology that has New Yorkers 'freaked out' and A&E buzzing.

Indeed it isn't. It's an ad for "Paranormal State," a ghost-themed series premiering on A&E this week. The billboard uses technology manufactured by Holosonic that transmits an "audio spotlight" from a rooftop speaker so that the sound is contained within your cranium. The technology, ideal for museums and libraries or environments that require a quiet atmosphere for isolated audio slideshows, has rarely been used on such a scale before. For random passersby and residents who have to walk unwittingly through the area where the voice will penetrate their inner peace, it's another story.



Ms. Wilson, a New York-based stylist, said she expected the voice inside her head to be some type of creative project but could see how others might perceive it differently, particularly on a late-night stroll home. "I might be a little freaked out, and I wouldn't necessarily think it's coming from that billboard," she said.



Less-intrusive approach?

Joe Pompei, president and founder of Holosonics, said the creepy approach is key to drawing attention to A&E's show. But, he noted, the technology was designed to avoid adding to noise pollution. "If you really want to annoy a lot of people, a loudspeaker is the best way to do it," he said. "If you set up a loudspeaker on the top of a building, everybody's going to hear that noise. But if you're only directing that sound to a specific viewer, you're never going to hear a neighbor complaint from street vendors or pedestrians. The whole idea is to spare other people."



Holosonics has partnered with a cable network once before, when Court TV implemented the technology to promote its "Mystery Whisperer" in the mystery sections of select bookstores. Mr. Pompei said the company also has tested retail deployments in grocery stores with Procter & Gamble and Kraft for customized audio messaging. So a customer, for example, looking to buy laundry detergent could suddenly hear the sound of gurgling water and thus feel compelled to buy Tide as a result of the sonic experience.



Mr. Pompei contends that the technology will take time for consumers to get used to, much like the lights on digital signage and illuminated billboards did when they were first used. The website Gawker posted an item about the billboard last week with the headline "Schizophrenia is the new ad gimmick," and asked "How soon will it be until in addition to the do-not-call list, we'll have a 'do not beam commercial messages into my head' list?"



"There's going to be a certain population sensitive to it. But once people see what it does and hear for themselves, they'll see it's effective for getting attention," Mr. Pompei said.



More disruptions

A&E's $3 million to $5 million campaign for "Paranormal" includes other more disruptive elements than just the one audio ad in New York. In Los Angeles, a mechanical face creeps out of a billboard as if it's coming toward the viewer, and then recedes. In print, the marketing team persuaded two print players to surrender a full editorial page to their ads, flipping the gossip section in AM New York upside down and turning a page in this week's Parade into a checkerboard of ads for "Paranormal."

AM New York's gossip page got turned upside down as promo.

It's not the network's first foray into supernatural marketing, having launched a successful viral campaign for "Mind Freak" star Criss Angel earlier this year that allowed users to trick their friends into thinking Mr. Angel was reading their mind via YouTube.



"We all know what you need to do for one of these shows is get people talking about them," said Guy Slattery, A&E's exec VP-marketing. "It shouldn't be pure informational advertising. When we were talking about marketing the show, nearly everyone had a connection with a paranormal experience, and that was a surprise to us. So we really tried to base the whole campaign on people's paranormal experiences."



So was it a ghost or just an annoyed resident who stole the speaker from the SoHo billboard twice in one day last week? Horizon Media, which helped place the billboard, had to find a new device that would prevent theft from its rooftop location. Mr. Pompei only takes it as a compliment that someone would go to the trouble of stealing his technology, but hopes consumer acceptance comes with time. "The sound isn't rattling your skull, it's not penetrating you, it's not doing anything nefarious at all. It's just like having a flashlight vs. a light bulb," he said.

My response to the above (posted at butterfly):
I saw Paranormal State for the first time yesterday and was really aggravated by it.

The whole time that one guy kept saying "I know that name, I know that name, its a Demon, dont say it out loud though.....dont".
As he says that they flash through some letters on the screen and kept doing it through the show.
Personal experiences should be left out of it dude!

Almost seemed like they were pushing to get ppl into the Catholic Church near the end....I dont know....something bout it really made me wanna throw my remote at it, then Mind Freak came on....so I just whipped the TV out the window, could not take no more.

Yea I saw it and its all and as soon as they had demonologist Lorraine Warren on that just confirmed the bullshit. The show is overdramatic not mention insulting to anyone pondering the unknown with an ounce of skepticism or self-respect.

Well i thought a little more on this and i dont think a very popular network as a&e would risk their good name and put it out in the open for all to see and have shows that could be found to be bogus.

I do wish they would not have pulled the very positive show off that lasted only a few episodes called "Random One"

I found it to be a real dud! Just like that tacky show where the blonde ghosthunter screams all through it!

Yup, the "demons" and Loraine Warren showed it up for what it was.

Did anybody else think it was sick that they revealed that little boy in such a manner?

I finally saw it. Took about 1 minute to realize it was all fake. They are trying to drive people back the the catholic church through fear of demons.

The show STINKS! I laughed all the way through the few episodes I saw. Bad acting, staged for effect, totally assinine stories. Total bullshit

Yeah, blows ghost hunters away.

I never caught what the demon's name is. Care to share?

Guess what you guys? This show is BS! It's not real! Not only is it bogus but it's freakin stupid! The talent is stupid! The writing is stupid! All of the people that you see on this show are paid actors and bad actors at that! All of you people who are buying into this show need help! If you are watching this show for entertainment value, congratulations because you are one step above the idiots who are taking this show seriously. However, shame on you for setting your entertainment standard so low. This show should be pulled off the air just because of how dumb it is!!!!! Who are the morons that developed this crock anyways. The main talent sounds like a wannabe captain Kirk trekee who dumped into a trash can too many times back in high school!

Anybody go insane and start seizing on the floor? Have to be carried off in an ambulance?

I think that if my girlfriend makes me watch one more episode, I'm gonna do more than just sieze on the floor. I'll probably crap myself too!

you are a complete moron

So what kinda stuff did they feature?

Looks stupid.

Well... it would be nice if you could site examples or some evidence that they're paid actors, etc.

With that having been said, it does feel awfully staged. Too good to be true, so to speak. I mean... "Ryan" seems to be involved somehow in a lot of the cases?? Once it was unbelievable, twice and I started feeling like a sucker for ever giving the show the benefit of the doubt.

Oh, and the children. The children in the families or whatever seem to be very child-actor-like. They don't speak/act like children, anyhow.

No, the whole thing reeks of being staged.

UHHHH, what made u pull this old thread out btw?

I work for the network and I am not going to say who I am, however I will tell you that it was a last ditch effort to put the show on the air. They used the fact that 23% of Americans are superstitious and they ran with it. All 23% must have watched the show because they had a 2.4 ratings on their first show. It kind of went downhill from there, however a 2.4 is impressive enough to get the show from the network execs. It isn't staged, however I happened to be on the set for one of there episodes and the people are full of crap though. One guy said he felt something grab his leg. I was standing right next to him and felt nothing and when they yelled cut, he said to the producer if that was believable. That was the heavy set guy that appears every so often. When I was on the set, there wasn't anything out of the norm at all. In fact when I watched the show that I was on, it looked completely different then when I was there. They edited the hell out of it. I mean they even added smoke, which wasn't there when I was there. In my opinion, just a bunch of con men that used to con people before they con'd the network to giving them the show. I remember going home and saying to myself that how can I work for a network that would allow a show like this on their network. I no longer work for that network any longer. I work for The Discovery network now. Good day.
