Ghost Hunters S05E16 - Glimmer Man

Last week I made some notes on the show, this week they snowballed into an actual review.
All opinions are my own based what I saw and heard as I was watching.

Ok as with last week I took notes as I was watching.
1st thought, they aren't very safe on the drive to the investigations are they? Its always the driver who drives 1 handed and uses the walkie talkie. Its not like they don't all drive in pairs and haven't got a spare person who IS NOT driving to hold the walkie talkie. Can anyone familiar with American traffic laws comment on if that'd be classed as dangerous driving or failure to be in control of the vehicle?

Right, if the show wants to start regaining ANY credibility can they stop with the stupid suspenseful music in the background? Its VERY annoying and extremly distracting.

USS Salem, Walkthrough of hotspots.
Windlass Room, former worker & tour guide had died there - people report seeing & talking to him.
Hospital Spaces, woman seen & heard.
Machine Shop, person shape seen & footsteps heard above the archivists section.

Where cameras are set, Hospital Spaces, Hallway & Machine Shop & Hospital beds (why?).

Jay & Grant claim to hear footsteps in the windlass room (I only heard the electrical buzzing) which they follow then Jay says it "sounds like a woman". They move on & hear something else (I heard a creak), Grant thinks he sees something move or its a red light. They move in to explore & Jay sees something move (neither time the camera was pointing at the movement) then Jay hears footsteps (I heard nothing).

Joe Chin (on loan from GHI) & Amy in the Hospital Operating Room, after Amy opened & closed a drawer we hear a creak. Amy tries to debunk it by opening a door (the sound is similar but slightly different) then Amy asks for another sound & the creak happens again (quieter and further away).

Steve & Tango in the bakery (why? no reports were made about it during the walkthrough), Steve with the cake. If this had been Brian Harnois he would have been fired, Jay & Grant REALLY need to crack down on the bull that these 2 wise-***** are pulling. I want Steve fired, as soon as possible. They both hear audible regular banging, almost like machinery (from 13.37 - 14.43). Tango thinks its someone else doing a debunk test (so why not ask right away, he had the walkie talkie in his hand), Steve then radios Joe & Amy who say its not them. Note that neither team radios Jay or Grant about it. Why?

Jay & Grant in the Barber shop (again why, no activity was reported there during the walkthrough), Jay thinks he hears footsteps (its just banging, again a regular interval bang like Steve & Tango heard - certainly NOT footsteps, wrong kind of sound). They go to explore (I assume Jays finger waving is him hearing the sound, I heard nothing) & heard a metallic noise (they get a different noise when they go towards it twice, neither time is the camera facing the right way) - unable to debunk or explain they just give up like the lazy **** they are.

Joe & Kris in the Sheet Metal Shop (below the Machine Shop), nothing happens they just have creepy feelings.

Evidence Analysis - A camera is turned (thrown out), Jay & Grant EVP "here comes that ghost" then we hear nothing - Tango reacts like its really intense though.

The Reveal - Jay talks about constant K2 hits (never was this shown during the investigation) which Grant explains cause weird feelings, Jay tries to pass off personal experiences as evidence (so much for them "never doing this", lying ****) the footsteps he "heard" (there were none), Grant mentions the moving shape the camera failed to get.

As actual evidence they present the banging Steve & Tango heard in the bakery, only the clip they play has the quietest section of the banging we heard on camera from 13.37-14.43. They also play the creak Amy & Joe heard in the hospital & an EVP that Jay & Grant caught as they say out loud "here comes that ghost" (very suspect, on demand?) then you hear a really quiet whisper which can't be made out or understood.

Cornwall Jail, Ontario, Canada - Walkthrough of hotspots.
Solitary, people have seen a shadow walking around, footsteps heard.
Custody Hallway, womans screams heard.
General Population area, doors heard slamming, a face seen.

Where cameras are set, we are not told as it cuts right to the investigation (General Population, Steve mentions it)

Steve & Tango in General Population, nothing happens.

Kris & Amy in Solitary, Amy felt anxious (pipes above them, possible fear cage?) & Kris notices the pipes so EMF tests them. They give high readings up to 62, anxious feeling debunked as fear cage.

Jay & Grant in the Custody Hallway, I hear female voices @ 34.55 (possibly Kris & Amy nearby?) just before Jay reacts to a bang off camera (in the direction of Grant who is nowhere to be seen, oddly enough). Grant cant be seen when the camera pans round to the door but is mysteriously back about a foot away from the door when they radio in what the noise was (claiming the cell door shut itself).

Kris & Amy follow up in the same area, Kris is frightened by a dummy & Grant tries to deny he was anywhere the slamming cell door.

Evidence Analysis - Steve finds a scream on an EVP.

The Reveal - Grant explains the fear cage in the Solitary Hallway (but doesn't use the term, why?), Jays camera view of the cell door slam (funny how he was right by Jay yet we couldn't see him? Suspect?), EVP from Custody Hallway a womans scream (must have been from a static digital recorder) & Jay says Limestone buildings are susceptible to Paranormal energy.
