I was watching one the repeats and its Steve and Brian reviewing evidence. Brian has his "Dude Run!" hat on and Steve being all serious asks him why would he wear that hat because according to him its nothing to be proud of. Steve is such a jerk, he really needs to lighten up.

It might boil down to a liability issue. If TAPS is saying they help people, then going to famous locations is a win-win for both TAPS and the location. It's an episode for TAPS to film and the location afterwards gets a boost in business. On the other hand it doesn't do much for TAPS to investigate and film the shows at private residences since the residents could claim afterward that they didn't do anything or made something worse. Also there was the issue of Steve not being able to keep his hands to himself.

They've already done and filmed the investigation. I'm pretty sure only the reveal and the Josh Gates part is real. Of course, syfy's commercials for this show are always either too vague or exaggerated and according to them "THE ENTIRE SHOW IS LIVE AND IS RIFE WITH GHOSTS."

are these shows aired in the sequence they were filmed though?

I only claim my Irish genes

of course my Thalassemia hints at some Mediterranean sneaking in some how
wouldnt know it to look at me

Kona blend for me, with a healthy shot of Kalua please.

One would think that an entity that is seemingly violating the physical laws of the universe could come up with something less mundane than moving a chair a few feet. Maybe it's just me.

Don't know about Ghost Lab but Extreme Paranormal was only the two episodes.

Ghost Lab makes me feel like I'm watching a WWE event. Like they're getting ready for a smackdown.

I like to watch for the unintended laughs. For example, the way the plumbers used to claim their methods scientific. What a hoot!

I haven't watched a full episode in months. I wait for the discussion on here and then go back and watch it on Hulu and find the spots people talk about. So much of the show is formula: Fake phone call asking for help, them packing up the vans, discussing the case enroute, "We're here to help," walk through the building getting told what to expect [and what needs to be set up to support the stories], Jason and Grant wave the thermal around, Steve and Tango dare each other over some stupid thing, Steve screams, Let's wrap it up, review evidence, reveal evidence, fist bump. Much easier to just fast forward to the review evidence and reveal. Sometimes I am too slow to shut it off before the fist bump but I can live with that.

Ive always posted I would love to see that type of show and it was interesting. However, I wonder how many shows they could make with that style before the ratings nosedive or if that show even attracted say , 1 mil viewers? I personally wouldnt mind seeing quite a few more like that but after a while its going to be the same old thing repeatedly without much going on so the viewers may all quit watching the show and it probably wouldnt attract the large group of beleivers out there as loyal viewers.

If it were up to me, I would recharge GH like American Pickers and Pawn Stars seem to really work well together. Two sort of vaguely similar themes yet also very different. They both feature people who buy old stuff but the business and personalities are very different.

Sy Fy could try a different show featuring as Ive always said --- different amateur groups around the country , real groups. That would bring that camraderie, real documentary type vibe back to mix. They could trade off between a show like that and call it American Paranormal or something like that since it features group ALL over the country --- Hawaii, Georgia, Seattle, Calif, Kansas, etc. Have some backstory, drama --- stuff on the groups and people and have them talking to each other so that theres a sense of a Paramormal community out there, social scene.

They could alternate it with a show focusing on ONE really flamboyant quirky group of young and older nerdy, super enthusiastic and quirky individuals. What they SHOULD NOT do is have big, beefy older guys with tatoos all over them dominating the shows like the zillions of other shows or try to copy GA. It should have a totally different vibe like the Lone Gunmen on Xfiles -- nerdy and enthusiastic.

Watching how a magician performs slight of hand, and even knowing the techniques, only suggests perhaps a method such an illusion might be performed. I do not know if it suggests the means by which the collar tug occurred.

In the episode, during the reveal, the camera auto-focus event is identified by Grant, who states "Now you will see the camera auto-focus several times." What you will see is identified and then you see it.

Some have suggested that something is "seen moving" in the stairwell before the chair moves. This is a mere interpretation of what is shown; there is nothing visible that confirms the suggestion of "movement."

Halloween 2008 (Collargate), an opinion.

It has been suggested by some that there is visual evidence that Grant is seen manipulating some un-named, invisible "device" which is responsible for the collar-pull. It is suggested that there is something "abnormal" about Grant's stance -- yet nothing actually proves this is so.

Observing Grant in the footage it is evident that he is standing in a manner completely natural to him, he is not obviously aware of where is right hand is and it appears that he has his thumb hooked into his pocket or possibly his belt loop. Many people can be observed standing in such a manner without there being any particular reason to believe said individuals are up to anything nefarious -- there is nothing particularly unnatural about this stance.

Much pointed accusation has been made in regards to the answers Grant allegedly made in response to questions regarding this, yet accusations in themselves are not evidence. All that really can be said is that at any given moment no one is perfectly and completely aware of every nuance of posture, it is the nature of consciousness that many habitual and common movements, and particulars of stance, are automated. It is also within the nature of consciousness that when one is pressured in regards to a particular detail of which one has no conscious memory one often invents a reasonable sounding explanation. In regards to the answers Grant provided, it is very likely he simply remembered being cold that night and from this fact he manufactured his response.

It has been suggested by some that Jason acted improperly for an investigator, failed to note the event and failed to investigate the incident, yet if one watches the footage of the event none of these charges ring true, Jason immediately examines Grants collar and Jacket.

Some have made much of the force exerted -- suggesting that it was sufficient to nearly drag Grant off his feet, yet Grant never suggests this, he clearly expresses the fact that it was a gentle, yet surprising tug and that he thought he had snagged on something.

When all is said and done it is fact that there is no evidence that TAPS is engaged in any kind of wrong doing, and any such charges only detract from the substantial evidence that the show is amply entertaining.

what i find unbelievable is that at the moment that Jason
asked that question they just happen to pick up a phone
call that just happens to answer his question.

now, would i believe that they picked that up on a phone
call at some point and edited them together? absolutely.

i just think the odds of it all happening just as seen on tv,
by coincidence, just too much to believe.

Hello Dreamsinger,

This is totally off of the topic here, but where the heck did the topic title 'Race Rock Lighthouse, the Darkrealm Labs analysis' go????
It's missing! I posted on it twice last Friday and I can't even find my own posts in my own file! What the what? I left for 2 days and it's disappeared! Poof! Gone into thin air!

I think FireFlyMel started the post originally. Do you remember? I think you posted there too Dreamsinger?

I think I may be having my first paranormal experience!

Robert Bess claims that that Major League Baseball is infested with poltergeist's that inexplicably knock baseballs out of pitchers hands.

Have you ever investigated in the dark using a IR Light and a Cam??? If you have, you would know that IR lights can sometimes be blinding to Cameras., and they can cancel out any shadows or other things you see.
