I'm not saying anything strongly either way about whether you should or shouldn't use a VPN or NordVPN in particular, but I just want to provide info in an unbiased way, and say that NordVPN was hacked in 2018 and had a lot of customer data leaked. Though they have pretty good reviews, so maybe they're still decent. It's just worth knowing.

[@sgtduckduck]

Since you asked: I ran several screenshots of the video through Yandex and I'm nearly 100% positive the location is "Fuerte San Felipe" in mexico: 1) Window shape, stone size, and cannons all look the same 2) Layout and surrounding grass areas match 3) Built in 1725 4) On a Peninsula 5) Stone bridge walkway matches You can google "bacalar fort san felipe" to get really good pics!

[@thetoaster765]

35:00 so I did my own bit of research, and I believe I found that fortress. It's called the Fort of San Felipe in Bacalar Mexico. Built in 1725, matches the stone texture, and I can see the exact place where the video starts. Though, the fortress is not on a peninsula. You *could* say Bacalar is on a peninsula, but that would be VERY vague as it would be quite the big peninsula. The only thing the narrator got right was that there were pirates involved. The fortress is now a Piracy Museum in quite a beautiful city

[@mikkimooon]

Youre 100% right! It clearly looked like people and landscape of Mexico or South America imo. Nice researching! That would also explain the camera quality being bad because they may not afford more recent tech. Also, in the moment the filmer's shadow appears you see him fidgeting w/ the camera that's actually attached to his shirt, hence that rustling audio you'd mentioned

The idea of having your father just casually dumping the evil demon monster onto you and your family, no explanation, is straight up just a horror movie plot.

[@ToTheSender]

30:34 the clown one. I thrift a lot so I’ve seen a lot of these old dolls and I actually own something similar. These kinda of dolls specifically often are filled with sand in some places and often have ceramic hands and or faces so they’re kind of heavy in a few areas and because they’re filled with sand their poses can occasionally shift. The clown in that video is precariously placed on a swing against a wall, gravity did it’s thing and it eventually shifted and lost its careful posing on the swing and fell a bit. It really probably is pure coincidence and a cool spooky instance of something happening on its own without direct manipulation.

Okay so for the Florida Man video I found the location and original video. The location and title of video is "Fuerte de San Felipe de Bacala, Quintana Roo" by a user named "Florida Man" with 1 subscriber. The video is 2 minutes and 8 seconds long and the "ghost" appears at 1 minute 56. Also the location where the ghost appears is on public grass next to the road. If you skim about 30 seconds before this, you see a car drive by. The clip is so short (only about 20 frames) and the camera immediately turns back away from it (8 frames in). As for the quality the description of the video says "filmed in september 2022 with a Nokia 3310 (2017)". So yeah, a phone from 2017 that was a revival of a phone from 2000. The camera is 2MP.

[@slightlyaboveaveragebutaverage]

For the ring video, it's very normal for artifacting like that to occur when the camera has been holding on one image for so long. It's why so many of these doorbell cams have ghostly things that occur on them, because the video isn't updating fast enough. The object itself is likely dust or a bug falling away from the building, though it could be pretty much anything.

[@nokodemusic]

I feel like the amount of "ghosts" would go down drastically if people understood video compression.

[@Argacyan]

I feel like the artifacting could also realistically be caused by light scattering from the car which moves in to the left. The angle & pace of it would line up, especially if the camera might have some water coating the glass which it looks like it had rained recently in that video judging by the water & respective light reflection off the street.

[@slightlyaboveaveragebutaverage]

@@Argacyan Corridor Digital has a better explanation in one of their ghost debunk videos, but it basically comes down to shutter speed, compression, and poor IR sensors. Everything you can expect from cheap cameras meant to record the same image 95% of the time.

[@KhanaHatake]

Seconding the bug thing. An out of focus gnat reflecting light on a doorbell cam definitely looks like that!

"Ancient fortress" that was built in 1725 killed me I am now a ghost haunting KZbin

[@Shrakathan]

That open window you spot around 15:47 is very common "airing window" in Nordic apartments. The style is tall narrow window you can open from the side hinges to let air flow. And here it's opened to about maximum the mechanism allows. Typically this leads to air flowing out of the apartment thanks to how our passive replacement air systems are designed. But if there's strong winds especially with other windows or doors open on the opposite side, or the kitchen's oven-vent is turned on and venting air out. The direction can easily turn inwards, helping those doors slam. My apartment doors slam surprisingly hard when there's through-draft situation in the apartment due to open balcony door in the far end :P

I suffer from chronic sleep paralysis, and every year, during September & October, I see a tall shadow wearing a flat brimmed hat.

At sunset, in the fall, the light was hitting a tree in my backyard, a crank on my bathroom window, and a shower curtain ring, creating the shadow of a Hat Man.

[@explorer47422]

Possible explanation for 'The Ringer' which might be unique to British homes - external exhaust vents for boiler systems often run to the side of the house. The fact there is a lot of noise distortion could suggest the camera is near this vent as they can be fairly loud when the heating is on and therefore the boiler is running. The lack of leaves on the tree suggests its winter/August time and so heating would likey be on as it's the North of England. Therefore condensed steam from the boiler vent could simply be crossing across the camera due to a slight change in breeze direction.

I loved this video. It was one of the best yet from you. I love how you intricately and thoroughly comb through these clips to debunk them. My sis told me about your channel and showed me a vid around 2 weeks ago and I can't get enough. I've rewatched the debunk vids like 2 times each already. Looking forward to the next one!

[@kurtb8474]

- I saw the bike video a couple weeks ago and laughed my head off. The creepy voice and music were overly done which made it even funnier. - An old friend of mine lives 1 block from a huge cemetery. Many of the graves go back to the 1840s. On top of that, he just retired from working at that same cemetery for 22 years. He also LOVES scary movies. No activity at this house that whole time. My theory about the clown video is, yes, fishing line and a 3rd person is off camera pulling on it.

[@DareMurdok]

I certainly appreciate the due diligence you show on explaining "WHY" something is fake or HOW is was faked. Even if something is dubious or clearly faked it's satisfying to see the clips get dissected and explained with proper research, like the Ghost Hunters videos where the stories all get weird details, debunking urban legends and stuff. Also it's entertaining to see react to the immense heavy lifting Nuke and Bub do with 5 seconds of blurry footage where they/commenters give a smudge a full backstory. - Just a Certainly Not Dead Patient In A Hospital Riding a Bicycle into a Fortress to commit Piracy!

The clown one just looks like gravity at work to me, like, if the doll was placed on the swing at an angle, it will slide off the swing eventually even if it takes a few days or whatever

For the clown one I was thinking that if you wanted to film your girlfriend's reaction, wouldn't you want to zoom in on her face more?

[@krobb1290]

And if they're like me, they watch movies at a slightly louder volume. So the vibration of the sound could have easily helped it along.

[@maraque16]

My theory, is that the clown on the swing is meant to free-hang from the ceiling, and then it has a little mechanism in it that makes it swing back and forth. Since it was against the wall, it kinda flailed a bit.

[@endersblade]

It looks like something is gently tugging on the legs/feet...probably someone behind the couch. You can tell because the feet move toward the wall slightly before anything else happens.

That was because the doors were heavy thanks to their electric locks, and I think they were kinda built to shut on their own anyway. I invested in a doorstop for any time I wanted to leave them open each time I moved from dorm to dorm. Otherwise yeah it's absolutely stuff like whether the floor has a slope to it, if it was installed correctly, if there's a window directly near it that can blow wind, and so on.

I used to have a bunch of those clowns on swings and they were ALWAYS falling off the swing. If you sit the butt of the clown (which is weighted) slightly off the centre of the swing, it just gradually slips down. Also if the clowns hands are at the wrong height of the ropes it kind of throws the centre of gravity/balance off or whatever, making it harder for them to sit nicely. It used to irritate me cause it was so hard to make them sit nicely and stay that way 😅

I had a vague memory of playing with one of those trapeze clown dolls when I was very young, looked it up, it all came back.

[@cedardelossantos5987]

41:19 While the hospital they’re exploring in the video seems to not actually be abandoned, it’s actually not uncommon for abandoned hospitals to be chock full of abandoned medical equipment. I’ve seen some urbex photographers even find boxes of medical records for old patients. Hell, it’s not even uncommon for abandoned places to actually still have power because they may be on a dedicated power grid or the property owner could still be paying for electricity to deter trespassing. Just a fun fact!

[@anacsadder]

The videos about ghosts holding doors shut remind me of the way front doors in various places I've lived have gotten stuck because of the humidity. I had one front door that got so stuck from moisture warping, I had to ram it with my body a couple times to unstick it. EDIT: Apparently instead of forcing the door open and going about my day, I should have made up a story about an 89-year-old man that sealed demons into my apartment, and then filmed my self breathing hard while I jiggle the doorknob.

lol. So true. Having grown up in an old house in New England, with all the warping through the seasons as the wood swells and contracts, the noises of the old heating system, it all made for noises and drafts. 😊 But a story about a coven of witches putting a hex on it would be much more fun.

30:35 About the doll one. I am from India, and i remember when i was small, me and my cousins had a lot of toys to play with together and have fun spending time. There was this toy, it was a skull with a string that you attach to a hook or screw on the wall... The toy actually had "audio sensors" and when you clap specifically 2 times, it used to drop down like 3 feet and automatically cranked up itself with the help of the string to it's previous position. And yes, obviously it was battery operated! And i do think, a little bit, the clown in the video might be some kind of animatronic toy, the sensors of which got triggered from some sound lol. I mean, what kind of a special toy is it, that you have to make it sit like on a swing platform hooked to a wall... I also saw somebody in the comments earlier giving a theory of dolls filled up with sand, which is pretty cool and interesting! Anyways, this is what i think about it. And i am definitely not sure how old the actual video is. Considering the timeline is after the movie "The Exorcist", it might have a chance to be that kind of animatronic toy!

[@enricgrau]

45:00 Definitely Chileans, they have the accent and name the hospital Felix Bulnes, which is a historic and important hospital in the country to this day. In 2020, the new building was finished (the one you show on Google images) and the hospital was moved entirely, abandoning the old facilities consisting of a couple of buildings. There is the original old building, formerly known as the Sanatorio Lo Franco (photo they show) and the "new" building where I think these kids are recording. This explains why there is no one else and with beds/furniture piled. I guess they keep some lights on for security and the kids sneaked in for the clout.

Also, in six years, they didn't just call a locksmith to open it? If my grandfather locked his room and left, never coming back, I feel like that is something we, or the police, would do because there might be some clue in there as to why he left.

In the Peninsula Potato ''ghost'', when John zooms in on the frame, it almost looks like the head of a small bird with a blurry body. I think he caught a bird flying relatively closely to the camera, hence it looking like a bigger thing ''climbing the wall'' based on perspective. It could also explain the more rapid pan if the dude filming got surprised by the bird. To me you can clearly see the eye and the beak at 36:53

Gotta say, closest thing to paranormal experiences I had were usually all over the place. And most often just simply unexplained coincidences. Things like calling out for a friend to stop/slow down before crossing a road and a car actually coming out the wrong side of a one-way street. Stopping before putting up a tent on a hike and convincing others to turn back and just before you get back to the main camp a thunderstorm breaks out. Just little bits, where you likely just picked up on some stuff subconsciously (maybe a car rumbling, some weird changes in the air or off-seeming clouds), but that you could easily make you think are supernatural in nature.

[@stiimuli]

It baffles me how some people, when they see something they don't recognize or understand, will IMMEDIATELY leap to a supernatural explanation. Why do that? What is the psychology there?

[@hospitalhat]

People have been giving supernatural motives behind things they don't immediately understand since the beginning of human history. Back then, it was just a fact of life because our collective knowledge was far more limited. We don't have that excuse these days, but the base instinct to apply an outlandish purpose behind an unknown action is still deep inside us. Personally, I find that trait in people endearing, but it can definitely become a problem if you let your imagination dictate your expectations too much.
