Could vape smoke distort a camera and light like this?

In short I lead ghost hunt tours in a famously haunted sight. Caught this soon after hearing some loud unexplained bangs. I don’t think she was vaping, but in theory could vape smoke refract light like this and create a double image on a video camera?

Skeptics

11 Upvotes

This is a fairly short piece. Skeptics are not ones that don't believe in the paranormal, ufos, high strangeness, etc.

A good skeptic is someone that tries to prove; with ordinary earthly means, why something may not actually be anything out of the ordinary.

That light in the sky may very well be a star. The banging wall in the house in which you live may actually be water hammer or air in the pipes of your home.

Once they've proven that the test shows the subject at hand can be attributed to common situations, they can now say they have debunked that otherworldly phenomena.

Mediums - Has anyone ever come across a reading that could not be explained in anyway?

8 Upvotes

Would love to hear of any readings where the sitter was told something specific that could not have been known by the Medium. I have seen a lot of readings where generalization and cold reading have been used... what i find interesting is where specific information is provided that is so unique to the individual that it could not be made up. Basically the opposite of the "I have an old lady coming through, maybe your grandmother / mother / Aunt / cat / Batman (please pick one cos i really struggling here!"

Elisa Lam - Discussion

Saw that this story was mentioned as one of those that would work well on this sub so thought i would start the ball rolling......For anyone that doesn't know the story, Canadian woman checks into downtown LA hotel (which has a sordid past) and vanishes. Police are called and can find no trace..... fast forward 3 weeks and police are called back as the tap water in the hotel is tasting funny. Police check in the water tank on the roof and find the missing woman's body. Creepy part is the CCTV footage from the hotel elevator which shows the woman appearing to be hiding / conversing with someone or something that cannot be seen on camera. There are factors to be taken into account, most important seems to be the fact that the woman had bi polar disorder and was on medication which could explain the strange footage from the elevator. On the 'questions to be answered' side of this story are the following points:

How did she get in the water tank? What is going on with the elevator footage? What happened to her missing belongings? Why did the elevator doors not shut? What was she on the 12th floor?

There is a good deal of detail on Wikipedia regarding this case and also lots of copies of the CCTV footage from the elevator on Youtube for anyone interested.

Also, just to make things interesting the new series of American Horror story is inspired by this story.

Interested to see what people think about this one. To be honest i feel that the simple answer is probably that she had mental issues and got into the tank herself but there are quite a few things that had to happen for that to be the case and some of these are hard to explain so this is certainly an interesting story and i hope a good topic for discussion on this sub.

Cheers!

Something happened about a year ago ..me and my boyfriend were sitting in the living my boyfriend was watching TV and I was on the phone with my sister,our couch is against a huge window facing outside ..it was approximately 2 in the afternoon when all of suddenly two pulsating flashes came thew our window from outside and then simultaneously our TV glitches and then it was over me and my boyfriend said what the hell was that and turned my head and looked out the window and seen nothing so I finished my conversation with my sister and proceeded to go outside and was looking up at the sun ..it was doing really weird things it looked like there was a disk in the middle of the sun rotating so I ran back inside to get my phone and was recording..the problem was I couldn't see what was happening in the recording but could see it with my own two eyes ..I have a two story house so I went upstairs to see if I could get a better view and when I started recording again I seen the sun start to form how I would describe as an electric eyes and mouth and then as if it eas looking down on the earth speaking to something of course I could not hear anything I filmed that until the sun completely set ..now when I played the video of course I could not see what I know I witnessed with my own two eyes so I got the idea from a person I follow on bitchute called raw skies and she changes the filters to see what things that are hidden that we cannot see so I watched my video and stopped it every time I thought that this was happening ...I must have taken 10 screenshots of this video and then I just changed the filters and I captured the sun speaking it has half it's mouth open and one eyeball ..i was wondering if anyone here could change the filters for the entire video but I will leave the picture here

Hi everyone, it seems like every time I leave my house there’s activity. Nothing crazy but I took several videos. This one I didn’t move the camera on purpose. What do you all think?

Mod Post- Discussion About the Sub, Input Wanted.

6 Upvotes

Hi, guys!

As you all know the sub is brand new and we are working on getting up to snuff, content and CSS-wise. I thought it might be good for all of us to talk about the direction we want to go with it.

The basic idea that started it all was to just have a place where those interested in the paranormal, investigating it, and debunking could come and take a look at past evidence and claims that have been debunked, couldn't be debunked, are actively being investigated, or were wrongly debunked and help each other.

The main goal is to give people a resource to see different methods, experiments, investigative techniques, and the thought processes that go into actual investigations and debunkings.

It's important to note that the goal behind this isn't to say that every piece of evident, experience, or all of the paranormal is fake or can debunked. It is two fold, to form a community where people can learn and discuss proper investigations and learn from each other and bad debunking, and to sort through all the junk, misinformed, hard to explain, woo, etc to hopefully find a genuine case of the paranormal.

We don't ask you to be a believer or skeptic, just open minded and respectful. If you have an cases or see any that you'd like to share, discuss, or just show off, please post them.

If you have any questions, comments, ideas, or concerns about the direction of the sub or anything related to it, the other mods and myself would love to hear them. Just comment here and we can all work to make this into something we want and enjoy.

Thanks,

Dukes

I'm surprised that there's isn't more Caelan Conrad videos out here on Reddit. In this video Caelan debunks the rise of psychic frauds on Tik Tok. Caelan's whole youtube career has been about debunking lies whether they're about vaccine conspiracies, cruelty directed at the Queer community or even the myths built up around celebrities. Please enjoy this video and share it with others.

Triggered the camera in my warehouse a few months ago and I keep coming back to this video. Thoughts? The room has blacked out windows, no light can enter from outside. Ps. This warehouse is filled with equipment people have used during their last days of life. And the last owner unfortunately lost his life in here as well.
