Ghost Hunters S06E17 Grammer School Ghosts reviewed

Milton School - Alton, Illinois.

This week KJ is home doing personal stuff so Joe Chinn is filling in for him. As per usual Jason started with his customary completely useless "lets get digital recorders to all cameras" statement which by now even he must realise makes him sound like a complete tosser. What you're asking to be done would be done during camera setup so stop saying it. You're an IDIOT.

Jason & Grant in the Girls Shower Room - Everythings back to normal then, J&G back as 1st team into the site. The "voices" they were hearing sounded mostly like water dripping to be honest.

Jason & Grant in the Boys Shower Room - The bang you heard after Jason turned the light off sounded like a bulb popping or a breaker switch flipping if I am honest, nothing paranormal. The fact it came so closely after he turned those lights off is too coincidental, their attempt to replicate & debunk it was laughable. Those lights had clearly been on for a while (why weren't they killed during the lights out sequence, more proof if you need it that TAPS is getting lax & sloppy) so were probably hot which contributed to the noise they made when turned off. I have no clue what sound they were hearing which made them radio the other 2 teams even though Britt said he heard it (It also proved all 3 teams were in the location giving MAJOR possible causes of cross contamination to each others investigations).

Joe & Britt in the Boiler Room Hall - After Joe says "Just listen" (@ 13:49) can anyone else hear childrens voices singing WAY off in the distance, it happens & neither guy reacts to it or appears to hear it. It happens JUST before they hear the clumpy footsteps above them. I didnt see any of the light movement they were reporting, it didnt help that the Pilgrim camera guy shooting it had the world shakiest hands so was shifting around a lot. Britt reported that it had been "leaning up against" then took off down the corridor, was it a coincidence he lost it JUST as he walked past a wooden ladder leaning up against the same wall where he'd seen it. Well done Britt, you just mistook a fricking LADDER for a ghost you bone head! And you are supposed to be the top guy in line to head Ghost Hunters International?

Jason & Grant in the Boys Shower Room - Again. I didn't hear either of the sounds when they were doing the EVP, I did hear the bang (more exploding bulbs?). Please note when they went to check there was an old electric lamp (#1 suspect right there) and their IR illuminator (#2 possible suspect imho) as well as a light fixture above the doorway (another possible culprit).

Kris & Amy in the Girls Shower Room - Amy stayed in the Girls Showers while Kris went off to the Boys (I assume J&G had either left or were investigating elsewhere by this point, either way its a messy way to edit the show making it look like an Investigator is going off to join 2 more Investigators who are already in the location shes going to). Amy reckoned she heard 2 knocks, I didnt hear anything.

Joe & Britt in the Girls Bathroom Hallway - I didnt hear any of the noises these guys reported. Also Britt demonstrated his complete ignorance of tagging by slamming open a toilet door then not telling Joe it was him making a noise. I assume the "moan" they heard was what i thought sounded like someone inhaling heavily. I would like to point out that yet again Britt wasn't carrying a camera, just a digital voice recorder - not really a whole lot of good for any visual sightings. If TAPS can afford a new van then they can certainly afford cameras for all the investigators.

Jason & Grant in the Gymnasium - nothing really happened, they did a bit of debunking on the catwalk & by the window.

Kris & Amy in the Boiler Room - I heard a few noises but nothing that you wouldnt expect from an old building at night when its settling. I felt when Kris shut the Boiler Room door that there might be something about to happen as it felt like a rather contrived (and incredibly stupid) thing to be doing. Amys personal experience was exactly that but at least she proved even she thinks the Pilgrim camera crews are utterly ineffectual.

Analysis - Britt plays the footsteps he & Joe caught, Amy plays Britt & Joe getting "shush"'ed but its thrown out as a possible clothing noise.

The Reveal - Footage of the light bulb pop that spooked J&G, audio only of the other light bulb pop that spooked J&G - Grant tries to point out sparking which is masked by IR lens flare. Unsurprisingly the Pilgrim camera guy was filming J&G and NOT what they were looking at. Score another point for helmet cams. Footage of the heavy footsteps Britt & Joe caught in the Boiler Room Hall, they just sound like another investigator - they are WAY too heavy to be anything but human. Audio of the something loud J&G caught that Britt also heard, I assume this noise was masked by the Pilgrim sound effects as I never heard it when they were doing the actual investigation.

As far as missing stuff my "voice singing" after Joe says "Just listen" and before Britt asks "Did you hear that" is DEFINATELY there, i copied off the audio and hiked up the volume and discounting the incidental music you can hear a voice very definately singing just off into the middle distance, its obviously not THAT far away as the cameras picked it up yet no-one caught it at all?

Please note, after analysing the bang J&G heard in the Boys Shower Room it was clearly made by Jason who dropped something on the floor. If you watch his shadow you can clearly see an object (shape looks like a walkie talkie) leaving his hand & hitting the floor. It happens JUST after time index 17:53 moments after Britt radios them. Also please note how the camera crew cut Jason out of the shot allowing him to drop the object.

Really annoying that a possible great piece of evidence was overlooked and that they had to pull this stupd fake to make the episode seem better than it was. Attached is my recorded audio of the ghostly singing, see what you think?

my thoughts on Celebrity Paranormal Project

I'm watching these at the moment and to be honest they look a little too good to be true.

Episode 1, several times we had "blurs" running past static cameras which just looked like they had been applied in post production. The jury is out on the shadow of the little boy.

Episode 2, we had a thermal hit that definately looked added on after the fact as well as the "motion blurs" the dude from Survivor caught in the Operating Room. I'm not sure if his camera light going out was a work or just a useful coincidence.

Episode 3, The 1st thermal hit from the 2 women looked WAY too defined. The fact it moved as well, its just felt way too much like a special effect. As far as the electric chair sequence they just went crazy on adding things to make it seem scarier than it was, the whole "cant raise main base on the radio" was so not believable. As far as the section in the wardens office they just went mad doing "motion blur" and "apparitions" when he was reading the list.

Episode 4, their 1st thermal hit was shot too closeup to make out. The other problem being a member of the camera crew was clearly standing where they were getting the thermal hit. You saw there were bats in the tunnels so a lot of movement & noise can be explained away there. The moving "shadow masses" around the girl by the chalk board (after she screamed) were definately added on after the fact. This & episode 2 were shot in the same location.

Episode 5, Nothing at all seemed to be happening in the Shredder Room. I think it was just the female boxer jumping at every shadow & noise, likewise in the Picker Room too. Heck she was just jumping at her own shadow, a real coward for a boxing champion.

Episode 6, As far as the bell "ringing" I'm not convinced it wasn't staged because there was never a long shot showing the bell just hanging and no-one near it. The only time it was shown ringing was a really tight close-up & Egert really didnt seem THAT scared. For the "Wooden Lucy" summoning the "mists" were clearly added on afterwards. I cant really comment on the mannequin that fell during Ernie Hudsons EVP session as the zoom-in masked any signs of possible tampering with the dummy. This & episode 5 were both shot in the same location.

Episode 7, I rather like the little message telling you this was the 1st episode filmed and it had taken them a year to decide it was ok to air it as it was so dramatic. From the pretty stupid stuff they were asking the guests to do (especially asking a woman to go somewhere alone) it shows this was the "Lessons Learned" pilot that all the rest of the shows wese based on as they make sure in every other show all the investigations are done in teams of 2. The whole "possession" sequence felt way to contrived, the reactions of the others wasn't intense enough so it just came off like it was rehearsed.

Episode 8, Another unique episode in that there were only 4 celebrities & they were 2 sets of couples. Locking the guy in the hotbox was just plain stupid & unsafe, then making him turn his radio off was complete insanity. Likewise locking the girl inside the Death Row cell was equally stupid. This is an abandoned prison thats been out of use for over 20 yrs, closing any metal doors is a really bad idea. As far as bad faking the "darkness" & motion blurs after the "Execution" were both clearly added on in post production, you cant really comment on the ghost bell ringing as there were no cameras setup near it so any of the crew could have been ringing it. This & episode 3 were filmed in the same location.

Ghost Hunters S06E16 Lemp Mansion reviewed

St. Louis, Missouri - Lemp Mansion.

This week I'm going try not to be so "anti" towards the team members, they will only incur my wrath if they do something stupid. I'll put wrath on standby now then ;-P

Ok, a few points 1st. It looks like 3 vans is now going to be the standard transport format. Frankly I do think it's incredibly wasteful, theres clearly space for Kris & Amy in Jason & Grants van and there would still be space for equipment as well and if you look in the Tech Truck behind Britt & KJ its not as though what they are carrying is piled high behind them so theres clearly equipment space there too.

So on behalf of the planet in general & the enviroment specifically PLEASE sell the new truck, YOU DONT NEED IT!
I'd also request for Jason to stop saying "Lets get digital recorders to those cameras" after the camera set-up is explained. Its INCREDIBLY annoying that you have to say it every week without fail & its also incredibly pointless as all digital recorders should be positioned when camera setup is being done. I know its one of your beloved spiels but its a pointless and superfluous statement. Britt knows how to do setup, he doesnt need you telling him his job.

Jason & Grant in Frederick's Room - What a surprise, the founders of TAPS are the first team into the building! I guess there must have been a Blue Moon during the last show when Britt & KJ got in first then? Jasons "black space", its totally pointless you reporting something that only you can see. The camera guy was totally in the wrong position (no shock there) so yet another point in favour of the long overdue helmet cams. In fact from now on everytime a helmet cam would have caught something I'm going to say so.

As far as Grants K2 going crazy, its not really any use because they were constantly cutting between cameras. If you are going to shoot the K2 doing that then shoot it over either Jason or Grants shoulder in a continuous shot otherwise its just not anything that can be counted. Plus if you are going to do a K2 "conversation" then there needs a 2nd K2 to be scanned around the general area of the 1st to make sure there are no wild localised fluctuations causing it. Its been established that the K2 can be made to activate "on command" at the keying of a walkie talkie, this is another reason why you need to include J&G in the same shot as the meter. Its WAY too easy to fake.

Britt & KJ in the Office - I heard their "groan" I would have said more like a whisper & to be honest it sounded way to much like it was one of the film crew, you also have to be suspicious if neither Britt or KJ even considered asking ANY of the crew with them "Was that you?" so I am throwing that piece of evidence out right now.

Kris & Amy in the Basement - More claims of seeing stuff off camera so thats 2 more points in favour of helmet cam. I never heard the noises they reported either.

Jason & Grant in Frederick's Room - Again? Why? You've investigated this location once already & you clearly said to the client there were "so many places in here" you wanted to check out. As plumbers they should be used to bad smells, they should also be able to put up with bad smells & be able to find them as I am sure that unblocking drains & sinks must be part of their job. So I am also thinking this whole "they're plumbers" gimmick is precisely that. As far as analysing smells surely they must have equipment that tests gas particles as part of their plumbing job so you know your not entering a hazardous or potentially toxic enviroment?

Britt & KJ in the Atrium - I never heard the sound from the Hallway they reported (which they discovered was a piece of flooring at the room entrance), I'd be likely to say it was the floor settling as neither guy had been sitting down that long & I know from personal experience of a very creaky floor in my own room that wood can take a good long time to settle before it stops making noise. Whatever made them run into the next room (Its Britt & KJ - The Brian Harnois Experience!) I never heard any mumble, just what sounded like traffic noise outside.

Jason & Grant in the Lavender Suite - I've noted over the last few weeks Jason & Grant seem to be splitting up more & more often, then Grant just happens to have a voice whisper "Atlantis" in his ear. Which Jason then claims he asked an entity to communicate with Grant, when he tries it again with the word "comet" which Grant also heard. Wow, these bad faking claims are just getting into the realms of Most Haunted now.

Britt & KJ in the Basement - I never heard the "answer" when Britt was asking for a knock although I heard what sounded like feet shuffling just before KJ asked about Julia.

Kris & Amy in Lewis Lemps room - Which for some reason SyFy/Pilgrim decided not to put up an identifying graphic label for so it was left to the girls to tell us where they were. Lots of lightning & thunder outside so any EMF or K2 hits on tonights show have to be thrown out. We also had a case of one team contaminating another which debunked a creaking door (way to go Britt & KJ yet again!).

Analysis - Amy Bruni debunks Grant hearing Jasons "messages" as not being caught on tape or camera, KJ replays the weird audio from the office, Britt replays audio that Kris & Amy caught.

The Reveal - Whatever audio that Kris & Amy caught (you cant hear anything at all) which the client says sounds like a whoosh, she must have super hearing. The "groan" in the office Britt & KJ caught is clearly one of the metal chairs being pushed along the wooden floor, its such an obviously easy sound to debunk. Reviewing the footage with J&G made that a lot clearer to pick up what caused it.

Again Grant presented a personal experience they had no actual tape of (their seeing shadows) as well as the "K2 conversation" which I already threw out for being too easy to fake due to good editing & walkie talkies. You cant present Grant smelling something as evidence, the fact neither guy was able to track that down makes me very suspicious.

Frankly its gotten to the point where Amy & Kris are the 2 most scientific minded members of this particular show. Britt is just practically phoning it in every week now, it seems he has gotten a lot lazier, carries almost no recording equipment at all & is WAY too excitable. It appears to me that now he knows he is getting the lead job on GHI he has just stopped caring though it does appear he & KJ have replaced Steve & Tango as the TAPS comic relief.

Jason & Grant just do not seem to care if anyone respects them or believes them, what was the point in taking years to establish TAPS as a trustworthy source only to screw it all up by becoming Karl & Yvette Fielding, the people they hate the most. Its sad that they are now only in this for the money, if they can afford to buy a hotel then they really dont need to be appearing on a badly faked tv show any more.

Ghost Hunters S06E15 reviewed

I actually wasn't going to review this episode at all, it started out as a few thoughts but became more of a review so here goes.

Rose Island Lighthouse - The "childs voice" audio, probably a seagull cry.
KJ's opening door. It was already open, I am guessing he opened it when the camera was on Britt fiddling with the other door which would have masked the sound of him opening that too, all he did was stand with his back against the doorknob until Britt gave him the correct verbal cue to let him know the Pilgrim Cameras were on him then he just moved forward. Clear case of faking there IMHO.

As for their thermal hit? Seagull again most likely, its big enough if the wings were open. This is why investigating in the dark royally sucks big time. Yet again Grant managed to queer the reveal by pre-revealing his "mama" audio thereby implanting that idea into the clients mind. Note his cop out too "If you notice both of KJ's hands are on the camera" but it makes no difference because the door had already been opened by that time Grant! And we note the Pilgrim Camera guy was doing a nice bit of blocking between the ETC equipment and KJ's position at the door. Also note which group of 2 it happened to, the group involving the one guy who is going to know where ALL the cameras are going to be because he set them up - Britt.

The Baseball Hall Of Fame - Wow! It looks like they've been reading my reviews, Britt & KJ were 1st investigators into this location. So J&G aren't as greedy and power mad as we think then? I have no clue why Britt ran after whatever he saw, its not like he had ANY recording equipment of ANY kind, all he appeared to be carrying were a flashlight & walkie talkie so he wasn't going to be capturing any evidence with them was he? "I ran down to see if it was another investigator" erm Britt, thats PRECISELY what your walkie talkiie is for. He is just screwing himself out of the GHI leaders job constantly week after week now isnt he? As far as I am concerned if he does get that job he is going to have zero credibility when he starts it.

I heard Jason & Grants weird noise (too tough to describe) but didnt hear the door Kris & Amy claimed had opened. As per usual all the movements Britt & KJ were reporting were all happening in the opposite direction from where the cameras were facing. Why is this still being allowed to happen? Destination Truth have now fully established that helmets cams can & do work, isn't it WAY past time they sacked the faking overly noisy Pilgrim camera crew and gave the TAPs members helmet cams, it would eliminate so many ways they could fake then. I certainly heard no scream.

As far as the noise Britt reacts to, its very squeaky, almost like sneakers on marble. You did see the Pilgrim camera guy on one knee with them so if he shifted his foot even slightly I reckon you have your cause/source right there. I found it hilarious that not only did Grant present Britt & KJ chasing nothing he also showed footage of nothing happening in another room. So thats nothing and nothing yet you are actually presenting it to the client? You would scream at GHA cadets if they pulled this kinda stuff.

I dont think Jason & Grants "weird noise" can be explained as either normal or paranormal,and Britt & KJ's audio which for a change actually they couldn't explain what was being said.

Ghost Hunters S06E14

Again this week we're back to 3 vehicles with Jason & Grant in 1, Amy & Kris in another and Britt & KJ in the tech truck. KJ is back from where ever he vanished to last week as it wasn't mentioned. At least TAPS has addressed one of our longest running safety issues/pet peeves of people driving & using the walkie talkie at the same time as Jason & Amy had the walkies & neither were driving, so does this reflect a change in their attittude to road & personal safety or have US traffic laws been beefed up recently?

Concord's Colonial Inn - Concord, Massachusetts.

It seems yet again this week they are going to continue using the term ETC (which consists of thermal, ultraviolet & infrared cameras all together) without explaining what it actually stands for as Britt used it during the camera setup briefing.

Jason & Grant in Merchants Row - I think I now know another reason why these 2 idiots are always first into every location, its not that they founded TAPS, I noted they also both have Producer credits on the show so its nepotism as well as selfishness. Their 1st spot was "someone walking", as per usual cameras were on them & not what they were looking at. Yet another of our frequent complaints about the show. The 2nd spot was exactly the same, camera facing the wrong way looking at Grant, not where Grant was facing. Guys these kinds of claims are pointless unless we see what you are seeing, its the basic rule - If its not on film or tape it never happened so dont bother chasing it because you just make yourselves look like complete cretins. As far as the sound happening right on cue thats WAY too staged as to have been real.

Amy & Kris in the Liberty Room - I liked the girls trying to logically debunk the top hat dude & I certainly heard whatever it was after Kris said "Is there anybody here with us" which turned out to be a door opening or closing which they debunked after walking a few corridors away. Possible cross contamination from another crew inside at the same time?

Britt & KJ in Room 24 - I didnt hear the scratching they reported but I did hear movement after Britt asked for the door to be shut & they'd leave. As far as the door shutting I dont trust it 1 iota because Britt walks next to it, the camera cuts away to the room for several seconds then the door is closing as Britt is pretending to not notice it then pretends to be scared by it (2 of the worst bits of acting ever IMHO Britt and you just ruined ANY credibility GHI might be getting from you leading them).

The "footsteps" or movement they hear after reopening the door has to be discounted as the Pilgrim camera guys, quite frankly I was hearing them moving in every setup during the show and thought it was EXTREMELY bad practise that none of the TAPS personnel were tagging those squeaks as camera crew movement. You can't have your cadets in GHA being taught to tag every rogue sound then not do it yourselves in real world investigations otherwise your cadets are better trained that you are.

"Or close any door for that matter" and yet again Britt was loitering by the door off camera just before they cut to it closing on him with more bad "reaction" acting from him. And yet again Britt used the term ETC without explaining what it stood for, I am guessing Electronic Thermal Cameras?

Jason & Grant in the Liberty Room - For a few moments there I thought they were going to make us guess what fricking room they were in before they finally decided to insert the graphic saying which location it was. Better late than never I guess. Heckle and Jeckle werent much use on that front either. Jason was getting K2 hits off a wall so probable cause of Fear Cage Effect there explaining why people get creeped out in that room? I didnt hear the knocking Grant reported.

Jason & Grant in Room 27 - I have no clue why the camera suddenly panned up just before Jason mentioned "footsteps", I couldnt hear them either nor did I hear the noise from the Hallway that Grant reported (knock or creak he said) with his super hearing. I did hear the movement that stopped Jason by the stairs (which was probably him walking & making the floor creak) but without knowing EXACTLY what Grant was doing you have to throw it out. I didnt hear any moaning which is what he claimed it was.

Jason & Grant in Room 24 - They moved into here after failing to find the source of their moan & the main door was fully open as before when Britt & KJ were in there, Jason was laying face down on the bed & Grant was in a chair. What they DID appear to prove was the door is weighted and WILL shut once it starts moving (just look at the way it closes as Jason has to nudge it open again with his elbow to allow Grant space to get through it but Grant also has to push it so its clearly a VERY heavy door).

Amy & Kris in Room 24 - I guess it was only fair the girls came in here too so everyone got a bite at this particular cherry. Again these 2 took similar positions to Jay & Grant, Amy sat on the bed & Kris sat in the chair (which was shown to be mere feet away from the "self closing door"), I heard what sounded like an exhale which caused them to ask "Did you hear that" seconds later however Kris said it was knocking so I guess the exhale was one of them (again, no tagging. This is why it needs to be done).

Britt & KJ at the Front Desk - Yet again Britt proved he really should NOT be getting the job of GHI Leader by telling KJ to put up a flashlight to do the very thoroughly debunked "flashlight trick" which by now the whole world must know is caused by nothing more ordinary than electrical arcing and nothing vaguely paranormal yet they continue to try and pass this off as proof of hauntings. I have no idea what caused the noise after KJ asked "Do you stay here because you cant leave". At no point was ANY attempt made to debunk the power surges reported by the client.

Britt & KJ in the Liberty Room - They moved here after hearing the weird noise they describe as "like a bucket being dropped".

Britt & KJ in Merchants Row - I didnt hear the newspaper or footsteps sounds that were reported here, all I could hear was an air conditioner (probably just very bad audio due to volume levels being hiked up so high on the audio recording equipment which commonly causes noises like that when its turned up too high to pick up very quiet sounds a long way away). I heard the metallic drag sound that made them go into the kitchen. For what its worth those big trays piled up close behind the door make that exact noise when dragged across the floor.

I note that although one team did pass through it (Jason & Grant after hearing moaning from downstairs) no-one actually investigated the claims from the Hallway. Jason made a really big unintentional funny by saying "I'm looking forward to going over the evidence in the next few days", yeah?When was the last time you ever did evidence analysis?

Analysis:- Amy debunks some headlights in a mirror for Britt, you can barely hear the door Amy captures on tape.

The Reveal:- Jason tells his first lie when he says "We investigated all the locations", You didnt investigate the Hallway or if you did you didn't do it on camera so way to screw your trustworthyness already dude. The "door" audio clip is insanely quiet but just audible, it was debunked as those white double doors opening however I did note neither Jason or Grant showed the clip of the girls debunking which door it was which I found a little suspect. Why wouldn't you show that to the client so he can confirm or deny tif that particular set of doors does or doesn't make those kinds of noises too.

Unsurprisingly Jason & Grant presented the "flashlight trick" as actual evidence which just shoots their credibility completely to pieces. As far as the "moving door" footage goes it is too badly cut & too poorly presented, I would need to see it running from at least 10 seconds before where they presented it to the client as I want to know what Britt was doing whilst the Pilgrim cameras werent pointing at him. Without seeing the tape in its entireity it can't be presented as useful conclusive evidence. The client tries his best to support them by saying the carpet keeps the door open but every clip of the door closing proves otherwise.

Ghost Hunters S06E13 reviewed

I guess TAPS must have gotten a bigger budget from either Pilgrim or Syfy as they seem to have bought or inherited a new 3rd van? Either that or they've decided they just dont want the women travelling in the same vehicle with them any more despite the fact the main TAPS vehicle is easily a 6 seater, it just seems like a waste of fuel to me. Just for general info we had Jay & Grant in one truck, KJ & Britt in the tech truck & Kris & Amy in the new truck.

1875 Inn - Tilton, New Hampshire

Can we make a request to Pilgrim or TAPS please? I am officially sick of Jason & Grant ALWAYS being the 1st team into EVERY location, we know they founded TAPS but isn't it about time they let someone else have 1st dibs for a change or are they that power mad? I didnt hear whatever talking Jason reported in the Main Building, I certainly didnt hear the male voice or the door closing Amy & Kris reported on the 3rd floor.

Its official that Britt Griffith has lost any respect as an investigator & potential leader for GHI by suggesting the "flashlight technique" in the Tilton Room that was debunked a good length of time ago now on the Syfy Forum as good old arcing. The "bang" Jason was hearing in the Sanborn room sounded more like dragging until he asked then you got a knock when he & Grant were asking for bangs on demand, I did hear the "female voice" which was more like a moan but it did sound female.

Analysis & Reveal:- I couldnt hear Jasons female voice saying "Daddy" during the analysis, I just heard a breath from the clip of Kris & Amy in the apartment. As far as the "Daddy" EVP I think the client was prebriefed on what to listen for and this seems to becoming more & more obvious that this is happening, likewise for Kris & Amys "No" EVP. The male & female EVP Kris & Amy caught wasn't very clear if audible at all either.

Shippen Manor - Oxford, New Jersey.

I guess this show was filmed before the new truck was aquired as Kris was travelling with Britt in the tech truck on this journey, poor old Amy Bruni was reduced to driving in a car so it seems my theory about Jay & Grant no longer wanting to travel with the women appears to be correct otherwise why wasn't Amy in the back of Jay & Grants vehicle which clearly had 3 empty seats behind them? I was interested that Britt felt he had to tell the client he was "standing in for Steve on this case" though I don't exactly understand why he felt the need to say this when he's never mentioned it on any of the previous cases, was the client expecting Steve or had he requested Steve to be there?

For some unexplained reason there was no KJ on this particular investigation either. Something else I've always noted after the camera positions are talked through is Jason always says "Lets get digital recorders positioned", isn't this something that really should be done during camera set up & if thats the case isnt it pointless saying it each week?

In the Attic Jason & Grant talking about the boxes having potential for residual energy also failed to mention that its also a really good way to attract bugs & rodents too explaining a potential source of noise, movement & activity right there. I didnt hear whatever "ran right by" Jason, Grant said he'd never heard that before. So none of your kids has ever run around your house, is that what your saying Grant? That you've got the best behaved children in the world? I did hear the sound that Grant described as a "voice" but it just seemed like a random noise.

I have no idea what caused Amy to freak out in the Victorian Parlour, I couldn't see any "bug". It was like she was just freaking out for no reason at nothing. It was good that Amy & Kris tried to debunk the door in the Reception Room but their both complete idiots as Kris clearly said it could only be opened from inside the Reception Room yet both Amy & Kris (as well as their camera crew) all went to the opposite side of the room & tried to slam it shut. Which would have left them trapped in that room unless it had another exit obviously. A pretty stupid way to try & debunk though. I did hear a sigh from a long way off that they thought came from downstairs, I have no idea whatever the "wood" sound they reported was because I never heard it.

It was funny to hear Jay & Grant reporting shadows in the Victorian Parlour, so you can see shadows in the dark then? Thats a damn good trick guys.

Analysis & Reveal:- Can we ask Britt to either stop using the term ETC or please explain what it means or stands for? Dont assume we know as I've never heard it defined yet as far as I can recall. As as far "someone ran right by me" you cant hear ANYTHING over Jason & Grant walking & their jackets rustling either, you can hear the almost "Uh-oh" EVP, theres a sound but its really hard to make it out what it may be.

And as an aside for just here in the blog apparantly you cant use the word DAMN in the Syfy Forum, it got starred out like it was a curse or swear word.

Ghost Hunters S06E12 reviewed

Philadelphia Zoo - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

I couldnt hear the rustling or bumps that Jay & Grant heard in the Admin building, the opening door can't be used as evidence unless they can show exactly where Jason was while Grant was upstairs. I'm not saying faking but the chance is too high.

No idea what rustling Britt & KJ were hearing upstairs in the Penrose building either, I heard nothing. Whatever KJ saw in the hall it was too full of big objects to be useful.

It was pretty funny that they didn't have enough cable to reach the treehouse, I didn't hear any of the knocking Amy & Kris claimed to hear there either.

I was rather disturbed to hear the things Britt expected he'd find in the Solitude tunnels, this coming from a guy they have pegged to lead GHI as well? He'd impressed me with his technical ability last week yet here he is making silly horror film cliches like zombies eating brains? I did hear the small tap (probably water dripping or some small bit of debris falling to the ground) as well as whatever made Britt say "What the hell was that?"

Couldnt hear any of the things Jay & Grant claimed in the Solitude House, as for the thermal "just moved" without seeing how Grant had positioned it I can't accept it as any kind of evidence.

Amy & Kris were kind enough to prove my thoughts about dripping water correct by catching it several times in the Solitude Tunnels, they also seemed to debunk the above ground noises Britt & KJ heard as probably other crew members around the TAPS van.

I have no clue what made the dragging noise Britt & KJ heard in the Solitude House, their various descriptions were nothing like the sound I heard. They debunked the noise as the front door slamming.

In the Solitude tunnels Grant is even nice to enough to not only mention but touch the "water droplets" which must have caused the 1st sound Britt heard down there. Jay & Grant said they could hear females talking yet neither guy thought to radio to ask where Kris & Amy were. They also thought they heard music.

Analysis & Reveal:- The "voice" Kris heard is clearly debris falling in the tunnels, again in the reveal Jason prompted the client during the "knocking" reveal to let him know exactly where he was supposed to be hearing sounds despite there being nothing there to hear. Way to cloud a clients mind Jay! I did love Jason presenting his personal experience of the noises in the attic in the Solitude House with absolutely zero tape or video as if it was 100% gospel truth he'd have sworn on, it was even funnier that they presented the video of the thermal falling over with no video of how it had been placed and the camera guy in the corridor filming just Jason & Grant totally obscured in the stairwell - can you say grasping at straws much?

As for the "where are they" EVP not only can you not hear anything but a heavy dull thud, Jason even went to the trouble of telling the client exactly what to listen for before playing it a 2nd time. Grant at least mans up and say "Its not clear for any human being to understand" yet they both seem to know what it says. I stick by the "Give it" EVP that Kris heard being something falling, its certainly not remotely human. It was good that the client debunked the opening door heard in the Admin Building as a gate close by to it, theres no reason to think any of the Pilgrim Crew werent anywhere near that location either.
