I love stupid ghost shows but the very first clip was someone in a bad alien costume perhaps slightly CGI'ed banging on the bad actor's van.
Everything about it was completely staged. I'll watch the show because like I said, I enjoy stupid 'horror' shows since I've seen real stuff, but
please realize that pics when it comes to the paranormal and supernatural actually means it probably DIDN'T happen and not the reverse, as is usually
true. Unless it's some stationary camera, a trail cam, etc. people don't have the ability to take a picture when something f'd up happens like a demon
appears or a cryptid. Even 'experts' don't have the ability. A friend of mine, Linda Godfrey, is the leading researcher for Dogman and the Beast of
Bray Road and Bigfoot, a talented writer, artist, journalist, author--and bigfoot hunting enthusiast. She actually got into her field as a skeptic,
but the more people she interviewed, the more she logically was unable to deny that these individuals weren't lying and had seen the same thing.
Usually self-report data lacks empirical validity, but when a bunch of unrelated people keep describing a certain feature of an urban legend monster
that isn't common lore and isn't something well known or talked about, then that starts to raise the validity. For instance, my encounter with the
Beast of Bray Road matched the encounter of a Wisconsin road service worker--I corroborated details that were never released to the public.
Now, by the time we met she wasn't skeptical about the Dogman/Beast of Bray Road anymore even though she's never literally seen it. She has seen
Bigfoot up close, though. It happened about ten years into her research and career and she was out on a hike when all of a sudden through the trees
she sees a Bigfoot up close looking at her through the leaves. Keep in mind, at this point, she's already an established professional investigative
journalist and author. She didn't take a picture.
You know why? It's simple: The fight or flight response and the body's production of adrenaline. The way the brain behaves during fight or flight is
geared only toward surviving the encounter. Hypothetical: If you were suddenly tossed into a rain forest and found yourself face to face with a T-Rex
like in Jurassic Park, the LAST thing you'd do is take a picture.
That's why this show is so completely a farce. I'm not going to say it has no legitimate videos since I only saw the first few seconds before I rolled
my eyes so hard they almost fell out of my eye sockets. Nobody ever tricks me with fake things, Untun, because I've seen real things and know the
difference. Honestly, this video is hilariously bad according to other people so I'm definitely going to watch it to get annoyed and laugh.
Anyone over the age of 15 would know that this was fake, regardless of their experience with demons, cryptids/monsters, the supernatural/paranormal in
general. If they have eyes and are wearing glasses if they need them, then they know it's fake. I say 15 because some kids are cute and like to
pretend to get scared because it's fun so I figured I'd be generous.
Now, will you do me a favor? Explain to me why you posted this. I already know why: It's because you were trying to make fun of people who profess to
have had strange experiences and just played yourself because you're clearly insecure for some reason.
So here's the Occam's Razor answer, informed by my psychoanalysis of your words, your profile image, and this post of yours, along with your tone in
your writing (experienced writers and teachers of language can see a lot about a person just by reading their writing)
Option One: I think the reason you're insecure is because something probably happened to you, but you just don't remember.
Option Two: You haven't had any unexplained events happen to you and you wish that you did, so you're consciously or subconsciously envious of those
who have had experiences and thus lash out against them and try to laugh at them in order to soothe your ego.
Conclusion: Congratulations, you're not skeptical you're simply being immature and refusing to self-actualize. You seem like you want to be funny,
which I appreciate because I love comedy, myself and love snarky humor and banter.
So please take some advice from me: You need to let go of whatever is driving you to troll. It's not good for you. Talk about something that interests
you and do so intelligently. Otherwise, what's the point besides to waste your own time? This post doesn't waste my time because I love an opportunity
to try to help another person who I see crying out for help and attention accept themselves and their behaviors and help them identify their
maladaptive characteristics and form a proactive solution to becoming a happier person with healthy habits. You don't even have to alter what you
think or feel at all--you just need to be real with yourself and hopefully just be real with me right now. I'm offering to listen and I'm not going to
get offended. You can try to offend me but it's not possible since you're not my parents or my husband. So I suggest that you don't try to, for your
own sanity and peace of mind.
I would like to hear about what drove you to post this. I want you to just tell me the truth. It's what you should be doing right now. You're not
stupid--that much is obvious. You're in pain and trying to be divisive. You achieve nothing but hurting yourself and possibly making other people feel
afraid to speak about their paranormal or strange experiences.
That's what I don't understand. You should be encouraging people to share, instead. That way, you can actually form a real basis for trying to prove
the validity of your clear bias against the paranormal and those who claim to have witnessed it.
You know what I'm doing right now besides this? Just moved into a beautiful new townhome and I'm finishing my studies to become a financial
representative. I love psychology and practiced and studied it and graduated magna cum laude at university.
Now, is there a chance my psychoanalysis was wrong? A slight one--as in minuscule. Try to tell me I'm wrong and get defensive, but I'll be able to
tell based on how you deny it what the real answer is. Language and syntax don't lie, my brother in Christ.
Let's chat. You wanted conversation so let's have one. All you need to do is be upfront with me and cut the b.s. Nobody here is going to ban you and
you wouldn't be in trouble
You'd actually gain respect and credibility if you sack up and tell the truth. Come on--I'm a young woman and I'm nice. There's no way that you just
want people to think that you're a liar. So let's do this. Cooperate with me and tell me what's up and gain some legitimacy as a person. Right now you
look like a compulsive liar or some sort. Even if you are, what's the harm in telling me the truth right now? I promise you nothing bad will happen to
you if you comply with my suggestion and request. In fact, I'm going to be polite and listen to you and I'm not going to criticize your views. That, I
promise you as well. I'm here to try to help you. You'd also be doing the mature thing and righting the wrongs of posting this sad thread. You'd be
saving your reputation quite a bit. If everyone who commented here could truly understand you as a person and what you really feel and think and gain
insight into your perspective, then they would respect you more.
