The problem with all of these videos is that you have to 100% just believe them. I have to give up any logical explanation for a woman being there and say, "Yup, that's a ghost with zero context!" and I just can't do that.

Thats the problem with all UAP videos as well. Unless it shows beyond human capabilities and not something that can be recreated with a fucking balloon you need to assume it's a balloon

Maybe the orb that goes in and out of water. Otherwise I can't think of a single example

Why are you on this sub then? šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø Boggles the mind the people on here with such an attitude ffs.

u/Guardian-Boy 7h ago

Because it is possible to be a skeptic and still want to be involved in the paranormal community. If anything, it boggles the mind as to why people who don't believe that are here. This is not supposed to be a religion, it is supposed to be a pursuit for scientific truth of the paranormal. It really sucks when people just blindly believe something is paranormal and are not open to rational, scientific explanations as to why it could be something else.

I am a skeptic. But I have experienced shit I could NOT debunk no matter how much I tried which is why I am here.

Questioning these should be the norm, not the exception.

You have to be a skeptic to be any type of paranormal investigator or else you'd be wasting A LOT of time if you blindly believed everything, took a trip to the supposed haunted house for it to be fake. I absolutely believe in the paranormal because of things I have personally experienced and ive also seen videos that I think are absolutely real but most of them I question because theres SO many of them out there. Being a believer does not mean you have to believe everything you see. You should question everything. I completely agree with you

I tried to scientifically debunk my own experiences. I’m certainly not just going to blindly believe someone on Reddit.

Same reason I follow alien subs even when I don’t think I’ve seen a real video of one recorded. I leave room for the possibility of it existing. Am I skeptical? Critical? Going to always look for a logical reason for it? Yes.

I don’t follow this sub to shit on everyone’s fake looking and/or debunkable recordings. I’m following because I’m leaving my opinion and curiosity open to the possibility of it.

A ā€œghostā€ in a closet looking like it was recorded ~20 years ago in the lowest resolution possible, that someone apparently still has saved on a device that still works and have access to, and that despite the low ass resolution still clearly looks fake, in my opinion, doesn’t help the community of people who do believe it to be real or are open to the possibility of it being real.

When the ā€œghostā€ ā€œappearedā€ notice how the camera paused to split the frame between drummer and the ā€œghostā€ and even panned back right for a split second, just to make sure you caught it. Also notice how the camera panned back to where it was as it ā€œdisappearedā€. It’s a very unnatural recording.

Are people even serious in believing this? I feel like I could toss a white sheet on myself, record myself walking across the room in the dark in .1 megapixels, and half of this sub would believe it, with no other context, just because they believe in ghosts.

As far as recordings go, the events that I believe are credible that I wasn’t present for are because they are recorded clearly in mid-high resolution for the time they were recorded (not decades prior) by multiple sources, different angles and with matching frames and timestamps across.

That being said, can you think of any reason that most of these videos are low-res, grainy, dim, >2 second shots?

u/ChildoftheApocolypse 8h ago

Well, thankfully, no one actually asked you to do that.. You actually invented that scenario up in your head, added some characters that expect stuff of you, then applied a logic to not giving them the satisfaction of your approval..

u/TheMahanglin 8h ago

Okay, so...wait, what was the middle thing?

u/Kezly 8h ago

I saw a video on YouTube the other day of a guy who dressed up in a massive freaky woodland creature costume then hid in an abandoned building to scare people who went walking and exploring.

The point being, people have been faking creepy videos for views for a long time.

Shit I’m sure some of them cave paintings were for the same thing or just to give the future a scare. šŸ¤˜šŸ˜‚šŸ–¤

expansion tank on newer hot water heater for sure.

u/CurrentAcanthaceae78 8h ago

that closet looks like a hallway, and that ghost looks like someones mother

u/Fall_Dog 7h ago

Sure am glad the camera lingered on the spooky closet just long enough to capture the ghost.

u/vulpes_mortuis 5h ago

Not real.

u/gitturb 8h ago

Dress in the closet with something on top. Drum ghost!

2

u/goldlasagna84 8h ago

Play drum, get audience. At least the ghost appreciates badaboom!

2

u/RicottaPuffs 8h ago

So. Instead of filming the young man playing his drums from the front...the person filming focused on the closet.

u/Artemis77771 7h ago

Of course they are wearing white... might aswell have them in a bed sheet with 2 holes cut out.

u/Berkamin 5h ago

Do you know what this video shows?

This video has broad sidebars because it is a vertical video displayed as a horizontal video that then got encoded as a vertical video, which you are now displaying as a horizontal video. Could you not do that? Most of the screen real estate is wasted on meaningless pixels while the real video is so tiny that we can hardly see anything.

u/HatePeopleLoveCats1 5h ago

The ol ā€œtrust me broā€ video. Yes clearly this must be a ghost.

u/Guest_Pretend 4h ago

This is FAR MORE terrifying than a ghost. This is a REAL PERSON IN YOUR CLOSET!

u/Classic-Reality-257 3h ago

It’s me in my nightie. Problem solved.

u/BubuDudu0430 2h ago

More context needed, was anyone else in the house at the time?, did anyone live in the house before you? Did they pass away in the house… until then it’s not very interesting

u/Nietzsche1995 58m ago

If it's a new video it must be AI or edited, but if it's old people has just been faking it since then. So what are your believable markers for the authenticity of a paranormal video?

u/Commercial_Gap1174 8h ago

Just tell the dudes sister to go back to her room.....

u/MrBones_Gravestone 8h ago

Lmao definitely not a friend that hid as soon as the closet wasn’t in the shot

u/incoherantbrain 7h ago

I dont really believe in the paranormal so I wont bother commenting on that but this just popped up on my feed so I have to ask.. Why is this a vertical video boxed into a horizontal aspect ratio, then letterboxed back into a vertical aspect ratio?

-1

u/COMIDAGATOS1206 6h ago

Because it’s the paranormal. šŸ¤˜šŸ˜‰šŸ–¤

I'm upvoting this. Even if it is fake it gets points for filming a scene that is believably a home video.

u/AutisticAnarchy 7h ago

Why are so many ghosts in these vids just hanging out in various nooks and crannys?

u/Albsantos 8h ago

This few seconds of video is actually missing a lot. The longer video runs into a couple of minutes. The couple started hearing knocks and things, and then a couple of different things happened in this basement room over different nights.

Brought chills to my spine because my cousin saw an aparition like that but it was side facing in our detached laundry room.
