"Ghost Hunters International" (Sci Fi, 9 p.m.) features case manager Donna LaCroix and techie Brian Harnois, who head up a team to fly over and scrounge around for apparitions with accents. The first stops are the 800-year-old Chillingham Castle in England and the underground vaults of Mary King's Close in Scotland.

Ghost Hunters" is mediocre, and the only thing that makes "Ghost Hunters International" (7 p.m., SciFi) slightly better is location.

At least with this edition, we get to see the lovely sights of Europe along with the paranormal seekers.

Tres magnifique.

In this series, a few members of the American organization TAPS (The Atlantic Paranormal Society) head overseas. Their leader is Robb Demarest, a man who has no business being on TV. He's so stiff in his delivery it's painful to watch.

The pilot episode finds Robb and fellow investigators Andy Andrews, Brian Harnois, Donna La Croix, Barry Fitzgerald and Shannon Sylvia chasing down activity in England and Scotland.

Their first attempt at finding ghosties is at Chillingham Castle in England.

The usual setting up of their fancy-schmancy equipment ensues, and then the geeks wander through the castle trying to scare themselves silly.

The worst part is when Donna clutches a rosary and tells the spirits they are not allowed to hurt her and her idiotic cohorts.
