Ghost Lab s01e13

Lemp Mansion, St Louis, Missouri.

Brad & Barry in the Main Room (where nothing happens) then the Guest Bedroom (where nothing happens again) then the Bar (again where nothing happens) then the next floor on the Landing, as they are coming down the stairs you hear what sounds like a dog crying which they also hear & report. Reviewing the audio in the Lab you can't hear anything at all mainly due to the annoying incidental background music & noises, amazingly enough Barry tries to debunk the audio as possibly having come from outside the building which is completely different from his usual tack where he normally instantly declares a phenomenon to be paranormal.

What didn't help their investigations of the last 4 locations was they only spent about a minute maximum in each, obviously they may have spent longer in each place & tv editing only showed us them looking like kids with ADHD. After talking to a witness about his experience (isn't all that stuff normally done during the walkthrough?) Brad & Barry try a provocation experiment in the Vault, Barry gives his usual "did you just hear that" when there was no sound but the annoying background noises Discovery always play & Barry says it sounded like "a glass vibrating" so he's got super hearing now? Katie debunks it by telling them a big truck had just passed by.

They run an era cue experiment playing the noises of gunshots as the team take digital pictures all over the location.

Brad & Barry in the upstairs Bedroom, Brad thinks he saw something go into a bathroom on the thermal camera & Barry gets a reading of 66F in a room they'd got a baseline of 75F in. Neither one pointed out the airvent in the ceiling? Reviewing the footage back in the Lab its thrown out as inconclusive. Steve Harris plays them an EVP captured in the Side Room which they claim says "I don't like fish & I dont like birds" but personally all I could hear was muttering. They class it as a residual haunting.

McPike Mansion, Alton, Illinois.

You have to question the judgement of doing an investigation inside a property with a massive "Condemned, Do Not Enter" sign on the door especially when you discover the upstairs has holes in the floor in places.

Brad & Barry in the Master Bedroom, Barry hears something which they go and check out (I noted the graffiti 5 point star on the wall as they went up the stairs to the 2nd floor). Their convinced they hear something in the room they enter but all I could hear was the annoying incidental music, Brad says "it sounded like the board was moving". Thats probably because it had 2 very heavy Texans standing on it genius!

They try & make out it was paranormal but both of them seem to conveniently forget they were both standing on particle board when they heard & recorded the noise, Katie tries to confirm it sounds like "something being slid across the floor" but I wasn't buying that if it came for free. Brad says "nothing was moving" (apart from you & Barry) and "we heard it right in front of us" (because it was you 2 making the noise by standing on the particle board you idiot!). They also play an EVP that clearly says "Such a jerk", shame it sounds EXACTLY like Brad Klinge. I assume thats what they think of us viewers who constantly try to debunk them, well I love you boys too.

Brad meets with local historian Katelyn who shows him the gravestones/crypts of the McPike children.

Night 2 - Brad & Barry in The Cellar and Katie by the gravestones in the woods on her own, Brad gets a heat spike up to 92F in a room with a 64F baseline & it flucuates to 80F then 59F which Brad instantly declares means "something just walked by". Reviewing the evidence in the Lab they also catch the heat spike on the thermal camera but you can't see ANYTHING hot, only the heat sensor data changes.

Brad plays a completely inaudible EVP that he claims is saying "Oh my gosh" as well as another inaudible one they claim was saying "Out". Katie plays another completely inaudible EVP she caught that she says "sounds like a conversation between 2 kids", or it could just be corrupted audio data that your reading far too much into Katie? Brad claims her recordings say "Whats your name" and "Get closer", it just sounds like very badly garbled audio to me.
