Ghost Hunters fake?
 

For any fans of Ghost Hunters, I've been reading some interesting stuff that seems to debunk a lot of their so called evidence.

Remember that soldier they captured with the infrared camera? Seems like that's been easily explained away as being just a reflection. :(

Re: Ghost Hunters fake?
 

Is this that show with that flaming british "psychic" with all of the drama and night vision cameras?

Re: Ghost Hunters fake?
 

ghost hunters are most definitely real.

the problem's that all the ghosts are fake ;).

Re: Ghost Hunters fake?
 

that show is boring and really fake

Re: Ghost Hunters fake?
 

Saturday Night Live did a hilarious skit when the doctor from House hosted. He farted and they got it on the thermal imaging camera and played it over and over, it was extremely funny. Not sure if its on you tube but its worth seeing if you haven't seen it yet.

I still watch that show because my parents got me hooked when I was pretty young, but it has gone so far downhill.

I'm with ya... I havent watched it in a long long time, though... back when when Chris Farley and Adam Sandler were on it, I thought they would always be finding amazing talent, but its just not the case anymore...

Will Farrell is pretty funny, but in small doses...

I like Horatio Sanz, but I think just because he's a stupid fat guy... too many of their comedians make me uncomfortable to watch...

Did you actually need evidence to convince you the show was fake?

[quote=firstdown;256151]Did you actually need evidence to convince you the show was fake?[/quote]

Believe me I'm a big skeptic but the show is interesting because they take a different approach from your typical ghost chaser, they try to disprove hauntings rather than trying to prove them.

They usually take a very critical eye to the evidence they gather. What's disappointing is to hear they don't allow their evidence to be examined by a 3rd party, and some of the more convincing evidence they've come up with has been explained away by some of the sites I posted above.

Re: Ghost Hunters fake?
 

i am a ghost, you can't say that they are fake if i m 1. can you now

Re: Ghost Hunters fake?
 

I'm from Gettysburg, which is supposedly haunted. What I always said was, I'm a rational person open to the idea of ghosts, but I haven't seen them. And given that I lived in a 200 year old house in which people died, and drove through the host of the bloodiest battle in American history daily, I should have seen them if they exist. You'll notice that people who claim to have seen ghosts are always a little hysterical to begin with.

your a long way from home. im not that far from g-burg

Re: Ghost Hunters fake?
 

What do you guys think is more likely? That we'd see ghosts or that we'd see aliens from another planet?

Re: Ghost Hunters fake?
 

aliens. how in the world can you say on the millions of planets there are in the universe that there isn't a single one that has humans or lfe of somesort of intelligence. i think there is a galaxy with people or aliens that are way more advanced then we will ever be.

ghosts are just a stupid idea.

I do believe there is life on other planets but the odds of that life and life here being at the same advanced level at the same time that we could communicate with each other I think is very very remote

If you don't believe, and you don't like the show and believe that is is fake, then don't pay any attention to it! Simple.

Then don't watch it and don't both with it. Simple. Just keep to what you like.

Uh, no. Ghosts ARE NOT a stupid idea because I've seen plenty. I believe in both...STRONGLY. How can you believe in aliens, but not ghosts? Just because you have not seen any ghosts or experienced anything, does not mean they are fake. People that don't believe in certain things just becuse they haven't experienced anything themselves need to shut up. They think, "Ohhh, if I can't see it or feel it, it's not there." Not true.

Exactly the kind of thing I'd expect a ghost to say. Tell me "That Guy" what dimension do you currently reside in?

His profile seems to suggest that's the case:

I don't have any. I hate football. I'm only here so I can post.

Re: Ghost Hunters fake?
 

Maybe a member of TAPS?

He must have googled ghost hunters fake and found this thread.

Aliens are simply a matter of probability especially considering that there are more galaxies out there then stars in the milky way (there are around 100 billion milky way stars). At that point it's hard to believe that out of all the planets orbiting stars out there that there is only one planet that is currently supporting life. At the very least we've found living bacteria on a few of Jupiter's moons. Ghosts on the other hand have virtually no solid evidence to back their existence outside of a funny sound being made by a ghost-o-meter.

Re: Ghost Hunters fake?
 

Rule number one: if it's on TV, it's entertainment above all else.

Of course there's no such thing as ghosts.

Furthermore, it is also quite likely that life forms out there are MUCH more advanced than we are. In terms of age of humans, it is almost nothing compared to the universe. Just on probability it is more likely the life out there has been around longer, therefore more advance.

Thinking about that, along with the fact the universe was created out of nothing(what was before the universe, what happens after, etc.) makes you feel very insignificant.

Anyways back to Skins talk.

Re: Ghost Hunters fake?
 

Aliens: pretty sure there's gotta be some other form of life out there in the universe. Are there little green men like in the movies? Who knows, but there's gotta be [I]something[/I] out there.

Ghosts: I'm on the fence. I've had some weird personal experiences that I cannot explain, and theories like alternate dimensions are pretty interesting. So who knows... I wouldn't rule it out.

Re: Ghost Hunters fake?
 

Anyone watch Paranormal State on A&E, outside of the gay physicit "Steve" it is a pretty good show. I just hate Steve cause he is annoying.

They have spooked me a couple of times.

I do not know that I would consider that fact. It is a Theory that has not been disproven. I am still stuck on the LAW that states "matter cannot be made up or destroyed", so making somthing out of nothing just doesn't fly with me. I am not saying that I know the correct answer because frankly, nobody does. Everyone just has thier own belief or theory that they role with. It's cool, I just don't believe any of them because no one was there to witness it.

Their new crop is pretty good. Horatio Sanz is all skinny now. He lost like 160 LBs or something.

Funny.

While we are on the subject I had another wierd dream last night. I was playing golf with my stepdad and one of his buddies when the topic of "Life on other planets" came up. The gentlemen said "based on what I have seen after the return of the Chicago, I have every reason to believe that there is life on other planets. The Chicago brought some back!"

In my dream the "Chicago" is the new space shuttle. The alarm went off before I could find out where the shuttle came back from.

I love how in EVERY episode someone always says either "what was that?" or "did you hear that" but the mics can never pick it up. Stupid sneaky ghosts!

On a related note, my aunt and uncle live in a house that was built in 1808 and if you want to hear hearing some freaky stuff in the middle of the night go sleep in the attic bedroom. I stayed there once when I was a kid and all night long it sounded like someone was walking up the narrow stairs into the room but could never quite get to the top.

Every show goes like this, we heard about a ghost in XXXX, PA so we decide to investigate. We meet with XXXX family and they are very scared. Checked out to make surre XXXX family is not crazy, they are fine (sure). Bring in the homo Steve, "omg I am getting a really bad feeling in this room". Have dead time and drive spirit away. Finish with XXXX family is doing great now.

It was good the first season now it played out.
