My house is being plagued by at least 2 spirits, to be documented

Peace said:
Point proved!!

Have you ever watched "Ghost Hunters Academy". It's the next best thing to a reality show. Really. A trainee gets booted off ?

Who will get released next week ?
Stay tuned and find out.

I did watch it. It was quite silly. :)

I like Ghost Hunters mainly for all the great locations, that most of us will never get to explore. I love exploring abandoned buildings and such. It's fun.

Cats love to play with things. Ever consider that the cat batted it and it went riding across the room ?

We had no cat in 1996...

Anyway, you people are all the same. "I can't explain it so it didn't happen". I guess if it's unexplainable it just isn't real. I guess nothing happened in Tunguska a hundred years ago and JFK was killed by nobody.

You need to understand that I am as critical as they come. Half of the stories here are not my own, but my roommates' accounts. I'm presenting FACTS! These things happened! I'm not saying a ghost moved the balloon, use your english skills and you'd understand that.

All I have done is presented the facts that can't be explained. THE END!

You people are on a damn witch hunt. I've had enough, I'm ignoring anybody with the least bit of belligerence.
 
No cheeto, you people are all the same. You see things happen, yet you don't understand the mechanism, so you declare that you are plagued by an evil presence. Why isn't the cause solar flares, or an irregular radiowave that just so happens to run right through your house? I mean it's likely you don't understand those things, the same way you don't understand spirits, so that explaination seems just as viable.
 
NO JIMMY, read again!

I'm claiming that something that can't be explained is going on in my house! I didn't say Beetlejuice is running up the walls!

The only reason I call them spirits is because then people can immediately understand the basic meaning of what I'm talking about.

For the last damn time, I don't believe in GHOSTS!
 
If the OP is serious about all of this, then it is very important to not attempt to communicate with whatever is going on here. The best course of action is to go to your local Catholic parish and speak with a priest about this. If he will not help you, then find a priest that will. It may be nothing, but you don't want to chance it. Don't fool around with this; it could be very serious, and if it is, you are not equipped to handle it.

Unfortunately, there is allot of proof on the Ghost Hunters SyFy message boards where people have proven that some of the evidence has been faked such as the lighthouse where the chair moves.

I stil love the show and new episodes are on soon but I'm just not willing to believe that TAPS is so reliable anymore.
 
Oh PWEASE tell me how the chair moves, it's bugged me ever since.

My biggest, though, is that black form that appears in that prison and runs away.

Well, if you look closely to the right in the staircase, you see a tarp or some mechanical device moving as the same time the chair does. On the SyFy site, they actually magnified up that area so you can see more clearly that something moves in the staircase at the same time.

Another fake event is the Grant's coat collar on the Halloween episode. His left hand pulls on something at the same time his collar gets pulled.

LUL, so we have some pan faced fakers, eh?
 
WHAT TEH EFF? That's not what I saw, the one I saw was more convincing than a man running around in a sheet!

I'm starting to wonder if they doctored the footage to make this cheep stunt more convincing as when I saw it, because when I saw it I did not see the legs and I did not see it turn around, it just formed and ran.

I don't think every ghost hunters episode is faked but allot of it is. It seems like with every show it's I thought I heard this or that and they even said early on that they can't expect to find activity at every case they investigate but in nearly every episode this season, they have.

The Buffalo Bill's grave episode should have been discounted all together once they saw the old TV transmitter towers. They did say so in the episode but yet they still aired it. I used to hang out on Lookout Mtn all the time where that episode was filmed and knew how the towers interfered with radio signals.

Maybe this next set of shows gets back to reality.
 
I didn't read the whole OP, but some of the stuff I noticed reminded me of a phenomenon which is usually called the Bedroom Visitor. Scary stuff.

There was a whole thread dedicated to such things on another internet forum I am a member of. And while I don't really believe in such things, that thread had me hiding under my bedsheets at night for a whole week.

I'm not saying whether it's "real" or not, but you WANT to believe it. I understand. It's fun and scary stuff.

How do you know it's happening in your house, not your brain.

I think much of the reaction is based on how outlandish the claim is perceived. If someone told me they are hearing noises in their house, I'd be receptive. However if they told be they are visited by a leprechaun, I'd be suspicious even might wonder if they were a kook. ;)

The first step would be to get some witnesses to experience the effect imo. The title of this thread implies it will be documented so at this point I see no reason to suggest they visit the shrink. :)

WRONG! Before, I just wanted it to stop. Now I would give anything for a single sound or shadow that I could catch on film.
Since I've been actively pursuing the bugger, it's disappeared! Nobody in the house has reported anything since that one night!

I guess it's true, they're camera shy :mad:

Yeah, strange how that happens...
 
Look closely, there's a ghost in this commercial:

Watch Ghost Hunters. They get some seriously crazy stuff on camera.

It's published on the Syfy channel (previously the Sci Fi Channel)
Sci Fi stands for Science Fiction

I've watched some of those shows, including "Ghost Hunters," and where there is "narrative" it always strikes me as very easy to contrive for television, but the rest of it seems to show how much you can achieve just by having a bunch of people standing around saying, "Whoa! Did you hear that? Get that camera over there!" and then jiggling the camera around in low light. They seem to do a lot less showing and a lot more telling people what they are meant to have seen and how spooky it is.

I am feeling a cold touch on my skin.

Wait, it's just the air vent. =p
