Kriss you claim to have worked with MTV for the first season as a investagator of some sorts.Has MTV rehired you to do more of the same thing you did before for a second season of the show?I'm just trying to confirm whether or not there will be a second season.I feel MTV has a good show on there hands but thats what there seem to be doing now,which is sitting on there hands.it's a disappointment and sloppy.

P.S. Are you the only one that has worked with the "FEAR" show on this website, like about dawn and the others have they done the same or not?

I dont know who else is here that worked with us, I like to have local investigators on the shows.

We have aired 2 seasons of FEAR. We just finished the 3rd. We were going to start airing them at the end of October, but they have been put on hold for now. Maybe after the first of the year.

Finally, I've had some sort of answer about the next season of Fear! THANK YOU!!!! I love this show and keep going back to MTV's website to find out when it will be on, but have come up empty-handed each time. Can't wait for the next season!!!

Don't really know what MTV s trying to do. Alot of cable networks are savings their new shows because of the after effects of 9-11.

Scifi channel has slid its new episodes a month later, month networks are doign the same. As far as MTV goes though, they seem to have no reason for doing new programming. Personally I think this is a money issue though. I don't think they can afford to constantly show new programming.

Kriss do you know anything about the production costs of Fear?

I dont know any exact figures for production costs, but FEAR wasnt shelved because of money. The third season is already in the can, including post production, so the money has already been spent. MTV has always been very sensitive about "doing the cool thing". Right now they dont think its cool to be scared.

There are many other MTV shows in the works right now, including new Real World.

FEAR is one of the top rated shows on MTV, and I think its just a matter of time before they air the shows we just did and start on some new ones. They may change the name, or fiddle with the format, but ghosts are so hot right now that I feel they will continue to do the show.

how are the people chosen to partisipate on episodes of Fear? Can anyone submit a request?

Hi, I'm Carla Baron...official on- /off-camera psychic/clairvoyant for MTV's FEAR. As far as I know, the casting dept. is not currently conducting casting sessions for future episodes of FEAR. As soon as the 2nd season of FEAR airs (last I heard, they were in post-production editing bays as I write this), most likely to air sometime in Feb./Mar., then they will determine the ratings share, and MTV will then make its decision as to whether FEAR will get 'picked up' for Season 3. You FEAR fans will receive plenty of notice, I assure you, on the MTV FEAR message boards and official FEAR website. Stay tuned. It'll be a 'wild ride' this year. Thank you all for being patient. I'll stay in touch should I get anything different, but for the present, it's a 'go'. Watch MTV for previews...I'm positive we'll be 'saturated' with them prior to airdate of the first episode of Season 2!

Carla if you are a psychic/clairvoyant, I think that you should have some inclination as to whether the casting dept. is conducting casting sessions for future episodes. After all isn't that what psychic/clairvoyant's do?

You have GOT to be kidding me with that statement, Scooby !!! First of all, that's NOT what true psychics / clairvoyants concern themselves with ... I'm actually working on a few - slightly more critical - assignments for several FBI / police departments across the country. So, forgive me if I am "slacking" on the "future" casting possibilities with FEAR ... I'll try to get to that as soon as humanly possible !!!!

In the meantime, you might want to wait until the producers, in fact, receive the request from MTV programming for additional episodes.... the producers REALLY WILL post casting call notices on the official MTV's FEAR website, I promise !

Please display a modicum of respect & appreciation for what I do ... I will be forever grateful. Thank you.

~ Carla Baron (Psychic, MTV's FEAR)

OK wow, scooby do, you might want to try to use something called a brain, cuz that post you just left has just proved to us that you have about the IQ of a brick when it comes to paranormal activities and anything of that sort... please think before posting... thanks

--Jay

Okay....I've seen alot of unusual questions, but this one definitely tops them all, so far. LOL! Good answer, Carla!

MedusaD

Thanks, Medusa ! I'm attempting to uphold the "psychic continuum" , if you will ....

Since clairvoyance is an intuitive insight or perceptiveness of things, one would assume that having this intuitive insight, you may have some inclination as to the future surrounding your job with MTV. Maybe MTV should hire Jonathon Edwards seeing that he has to mentally block out "the knocking on his psychic door" instead of just invoking it when it is "convenient" for him. I do have the utmost respect and admiration for the psychic world and those who are sincere with their talents, and not just trying to impress the public at large. Maybe it's just your "holier than though" attutide that leaves me and many others cold towards your "so called" claims to fame.

As for the FBI investigations, it has ben my personal experience that one is not allowed to speak of ongoing investigations as not to jeopardize those involved.

She obviously isnt a psychic, she's an actess.

Carla is a psychic. She answers questions on a radio program and advises people on a psychic hotline in addition to working for FEAR.

Actually, Kriss... I MUST step in here. I am a radio show host on a weekly national radio broadcast which boasts an audience of over 26 million.

I, however, do NOT work on a psychic hotline. I am sure that there are "real" psychics sprinkled throughout so-called psychic hotlines, but they are certainly few and far between. I am not an advocate of these lines. They most definitely diminish the credibility of "true psychics", in my humble opinion.

I also have and continue to work on many cases for the FBI/police in a clandestine capacity, so what was that about "impressing the public at large" ??? I have NOT, mind you, revealed ANY details of the investigations I have, am, or will work on in the future. This would be highly unethical. I am quite aware of the concept of "contamination" of cases when one does not adhere to non-disclosure policies.

This is the last I will address this issue. Please refrain from speaking of issues with which you are not fully familiar. I'm sure everyone here at Paraseek would appreciate such consideration.

By the way, isn't it "John Edward" , ...NOT "Jonathon Edwards" ?? ....

Just trying to get the facts straight.

~ Carla Baron ( Psychic, MTV's FEAR )

blimey Carla/Scooby; you're winding each other up something chronic !
If I may be so bold, I'd like to act as an arbitrator here !......
I think you've both got the wrong-end of each others' conversations, and I don't think there's really any argument between you; it's just mis-understandings.

To me, Scooby's initial comment was a light-hearted off-the-cuff remark which shouldn't have caused offence, and which is probably the most common comment that a medium/psychic gets; I think it was taken unfairly as a negative comment by Carla.

Equally, Scooby; tut-tut; sarcasm in your reply to her doesn't help your case !

My gut feeling is that Carla's a genuine psychic, and that Scooby abhors fake-psychics who profit from knowing conjuring/psych tricks.

In which case, you're actually on the same side, but just fighting each other due to mis-understandings.

Now, both of you, count to ten, and then write out a hundred times: "I must consider all possible motives/reasonings behind people's statements before I reply" !

(can I *be* more patronising ?!)

Oh yes; and I think Kriss meant "radio-phone-in-show" when she mentioned "psychic-hotline".

All of these things are easily made mistakes; let's all join hands and sing together "we are the world...!"

I could be wrong, of course [although it must be said, that that is extraordinarily rare :-) ]

I got stuck in a similar loop once, of arguing with someone who at the end of the day had identical views to me but were just expressing different aspects of the same views.

"facilitators" are a marvellous thing; but there's never one around when you need one !

I'm sorry Carla, I didnt realize my wording offended you. I respect what you do, and I for one dont think any less of anyone that uses his or her talents. I didnt mention details about your profession because I didnt feel it was my place, but I think I got the gist of it....

I am not into the psychic end of the paranormal, so my terminology is rusty.

But hey, I did mention that you are a psychic and that you work for us.... :)

Kriss...

I was not offended by you, sweetheart. There are times when this "psychic-bashing" and misconception by the public-at-large can be trying on one's nerves. I love what you contribute, Kriss, as our official ghosthunter on FEAR. This is very comforting to me.

If I have taken the words of anyone else posting here to an otherwise heightened level of irritation, please forgive me.... I have been dealing with skeptics (which, if presented in a positive, healthy respect, can be truly progressive in achieving results for both sides of the spectrum ).... and , also, my share of buffoons for which I can only say, how unfortunate. There are, for the most part.... really positive and respectful souls out there, such as yourself, Kriss, and "Devshb" (thanks for your "intervention".... I bow to your sense of balance & peace-keeping )... who would only wish to peer into the world of the paranormal in its purest sense - for this, and all of you like this, I am grateful.... and will continue my work as a spiritual guide to the "signpost up ahead" known as the proverbial "Twilight Zone"... (it's late here, but you get the general idea .)

Carla,

I stand corrected on the name. It is indeed John Edward, Jonathan Edwards was a nineteenth century preacher/theologian. Sorry for the confusion. As for comments made by Devshb, you are very close to the truth of the matter. My first comment was in jest. Truth be known, those of us that are sure of ourselves have nothing to prove to anyone else. We know who we are, and what we are capable of. Our beliefs lie deep in our souls and from that we draw our strength, wisdom and courage to explore and expand our knowledge. It is not neccessary to convince the ignorant, only to learn for ourselves. Trying to convince the ignorant only proves that we are trying more to convince ourselves than others. So does this make the person(s) who are attempting to make "others" believe, the truly ignorant people. Many say ignorance is bliss, but it is my sincere belief that the ignorant were placed on this earth to entertain the intelligent. And that my friend you have accomplished very well.

I too will refrain from any other statements on this subject. I am not trying to convince anyone to believe or not believe, that is up to them. I myself believe in the philosophy, to agree to disagree. Be your own judge.

Kriss,

A short question, do you prefer to be referred to as a ghost hunter or a paranormal investigator, or is there another title that suits your field of study?

thank you so much for your time

Carla and Kriss,

I think you would agree that the purpose of the majority of these discussions is to educate people on the paranormal and the paranormal sciences. Part of that is going through the gautlet of skeptics. But in large part your work here makes a large difference. And having you both and others around makes that process special in itself.

Sincerely,
Will (paraseek webmaster)

Scooby remarks :

" Many say ignorance is bliss, but it is my sincere belief that the ignorant were placed on this earth to entertain the intelligent. And that my friend you have accomplished very well. "

So, Scooby... am I to assume WHAT about this statement : am I the "ignorant" or the "intelligent" in this observation of yours.

I will, until otherwise notified, assume you were complimenting me that I am, indeed, one of the "intelligentsia".

And I do thank you for the nice words.

Touche Scooby, touche hell, Carla you have been stabbed......... funny you don't even realize it.

Yeah, Anonymous.... why don't you come out of hiding in the corner there, and say that ?

I was giving the benefit of the doubt to Scooby, seeing we're all attempting to "get along" here on this board. I have very little time as it is. And I CERTAINLY don't have time to keep addressing this nonsense ! I have work to do. I suggest you tend to yours, Anonymous.

Will, I thank you for your invitation to participate in the proceedings on Paraseek, however, I cannot keep "going 10 rounds" here at the boards. Sorry.... but, I have decided to "bow out". This, of course, is no reflection on you, or your well-intentioned forum on the pursuit of all things paranormal. Keep up the good work !

~ Carla Baron (Psychic, MTV's FEAR)

Carla, this isnt how things normally are here, just stick it out.

Scoobie, I like both titles, it really doesnt matter to me either way.

Thanks Will, I really enjoy hanging here when I have the time.

I like it here, too. It seems nicely balanced and generally very friendly and constructive.

Truer words have not been said. I am quite new to the board, and I will say this. Fear has reawakened my interest in the paranormal. And I owe this to Mtv(NEVER thought I'd owe anything to them), as well as Kriss for the great insight from a scientific, analytical perspective, and from Carla, who demonstrates an INCREDIBLE sensitivity and contact with the unknown(and yes, she is very pretty as well).
I'm actually trying to get in contact with some of the local paranormal investigators(not easy to do, not much around Minnesota, even thought there are LOTS of hauntings), all because of this show.
Finally, I would hate for this board to turn into daily flame wars, none of us need it. A lot of people who visit these boards come here for insight(even the lurkers), so for those who don't believe, I suggest they either listen, then judge for themselves, or just leave. Please...

Carla,

This is unfortunately how the internet works. There are flamers out there intensionally say bad things to get a reaction. That's what they do. I think you need to step back and stop trying to go ten rounds with people. You need to ignore things like this because they are just trying to get a reaction. They have no interest in getting facts, etc. They just are here to insult. But that is not just here. That's all over the internet in all the newsgroups, etc.

I don't know what other boards you visit, however, all open access boards have this problem. And unfortunately it can't be helped. They just need to be ignored and not addressed. They don't literally dislike you. They don't know you.

Are you saying this is the only board that has flamers on it trying to harrass you? I must say there is an incredible small number of flamers here in relation to other open forums. Some one back me up on that. I must say the people here are 99% of the time are exceptionally nice. Do not let 1% ruin it for the rest. I know you must be much more in tune with your emotions than most because of your abilities and it must be hard to push comments like that away.

Will

Will there be any new shows or old shows aired on MTV anytime soon?
