@12:24 the bottom of the white dress is literally moving in a weird way! Not the whole dress but the bottom left folds... What is that from? @watcher

[@anappleiam4214]

For the Debrief, would y'all ever consider doing a control experiment with your equipment. Just so we can compare the tools to how they act in "haunted" places, versus locations with no reported paranormal activity.

[@endveagony]

20:08 after the tap noise is literally a little girl faint laugh you can hear

[@dee5tank]

That mid-video ad read tho...👀

[@wafflesofjustice]

Ryan must answer for the Ovulus’ bullshittery or he’s a noob

[@caratorbit]

i really love how ryan went from scolding shane for taunting the spirits to now actively calling the ghost of an alleged murderer a little bitchboy. character development.

[@aribaldoceda999]

Honestly the best character development that I've ever seen.

[@elchappo1320]

Cuz he realizes theyre fake

[@sporeham1674]

​@@elchappo1320i feel like Ryan stopped believing a little while ago honestly

[@carlybryson4681]

I mean he probably did but I don't think the "evidence" is fake because I feel like there would be a lot more fabricated evidence in my opinion

[@clairvaux8459]

Tbf it's a murderer of a little girl. I wouldn't be nice either 😂 he's been quite mean to the ghosts who deserve it

[@srg24601]

If I was a ghost, the sight of Ryan and Shane entering the room ominously chanting itsy bitsy spider would scare my ass into crossing over

[@BohemianGoddess323]

46:29 The rem-pod starts going to its highest just as Shane sets his hat on the table. Putting a cowboy hat brim side down on a table (or on a bed) would have been considered both bad luck and bad manners. As funny as it is to think it's responding to Ryan talking about breakfast, it actually happens just seconds before that.

[@LiamAlex11B]

Who else would love to see Ryan and Shane do a season of Ghost Files "International". Showing them going to all the most paranormal places in the world.

[@jadenbird5883]

Was thinking this, America has a fairly recent history. Imagine heading into English castles or Asian forts

[@phinbellalover14]

hope they'll have the budget to do so because there really are places claimed to be more haunted than those in the US

[@copperain550]

I would be stoked with just one international special per season.

[@puterialwani8647]

Especially south east asian haunted places

[@mildlypepper]

They talked about that at one of the Live shows. iirc they said it boils down to being too expensive, and getting permission to film at international locations is also more difficult bc older locations have more historical considerations. They said it would definitely be a possibility in the future and is something they are thinking about though, so there's that.

[@DessaLotus16]

I lowkey love how in the latest episodes Shane has begun trying to "move spirits on" and telling them to go to heaven rather than cursing them out LOL

[@Spicalaxy.22]

It's like he's having some character development thingy or maybe he's possessed i can't tell xD

[@wolfiemuse]

Well… To be fair, he’s saying it mockingly still. Lol. His character growth is playing along as much as he does these days!

[@xxcobu]

I've watched too much True Crime to not be horrified by the possible connections between, "Girl. Vulva. Knife. Chain. Virginity."

[@mayraramirez8285]

I feel like it was the girl who was killed saying it wasn’t a robbery but something more sinister

[@raymondclarke8504]

I’m a shaniac but at 12:27 I’m surprised Ryan didn’t mention how there’s a very clear shadowy figure that moves by the moving toys. It’s honestly the weirdest part about that video.

[@hollykellyy]

Same, I noticed that too

[@blacktenshi7]

The dress in the right corner of the room moves too in that portion. I suspect the wind in this one.. 🤔

[@SrDiesel]

@@blacktenshi7 I was looking for this comment! Whats weird is that the dress actually flicks up and on the way back stops half way as though somethings holding it so it cant be wind because then you'd assume more of the dress would've moved with the swing but it just seems like it was grabbed and moved. IMO anyway

[@marleyjainz3104]

I saw the dress too..

[@Mysterious-Ninja]

Funny enough, I'm generally on team Boo-gara, but to me it looked like an electric fan had been held really low by a person who was crouching. The low angle of the breeze would cause the dress hem in the background to remain aloft. The balls also move more or less in the same direction (with some variation for size and the wind disruption that they would produce for each other), so it looks more like a fan blowing at them than an invisible being "playing." The shadow is probably from the person holding the fan, moving so they can keep the biggest ball moving after it rolled out of the breeze (it would catch the fan's drag better than the smaller balls, explaining why it's moving the most.)

[@zacharynozzi255]

Imagine sleeping at night, hearing 2 goofballs going crazy on a bell, looking out the window and seeing Shane repeatedly ring a bell while ryan stares at a wall

[@amandasnider2644]

My first thought was; "It'd suck to be a neighbor to an allegedly haunted house..."

[@matthewbibby8921]

@@amandasnider2644Nah, that’s cool as fuck. You’d get to look over and look for activity without ever having to live in there. … I mean granted I’m a Shaniac so I wouldn’t mind living in one either but still, my point stands.

[@Shellygrrl2573]

​​@@matthewbibby8921 as a fellow Shaniac I agree because I think a lot of people just make up that something happened. But it would still be cool to go there.

[@fightvale57]

Also surprised the comments aren't littered with this. I watch on a television so maybe it was easier to see

[@spawnofkermit2687]

@@AkiMuiSenjui think since the footage is black n white, this is definitely the reflection on the monitor but i see what you’re getting at

[@eileen8787]

Just pointing out a weird connection. I actually am not a huge fan of the ovulus as a credible source of evidence BUT, I did find it strange when Shane was on his solo, how well it described everything that was happening to him, or what he was doing, like how it said “unholy” when describing how ugly spiders were, “threshold” when he was about to walk through a doorway, “interrupt” when Ryan woke him up from his nap, “window,” and “show” when Shane was showing his face through the window. Anyway, not sure what to make of it, but I did find it oddly specific and accurate.

[@Joonivy]

Also 'haunting' and 'brave' during Ryan's solo! It kinds sounds like a child trying to comment on anything's happening around them... perhaps... Itsy?

[@LordBelakor]

That (as uncomprehensible it is often to us humans) is called chance, coincidents are more realistic to happen than ghosts. If you look in the right places, there are coincidents all over the world and the universe things happening, that are happening with such a minute chance, but they still do. Just as example: rivers turning red, just because one algea bloomed in a year because of some good environmental changes, combined with a overproduction of some factory, therefor puming more waste in the waters, boom red river. Same goes for ALL the evidence of socalled ghost hunters (do not get me wrong, I love this show, more like comedy to me). The word thing (ovolus?): random radio chatter. words they pick up: only work because they plant the word before they play the sound, its suggestive then. All the 'send in footage' of "ghosts": people of the tour or the cat from last episode. Best evidence against ghosts? Why with a golden age of ghosts videos with the VHS recorders, did the amount of ghost videos drop so low, now that everyone basicly has a camera in their pockets. (sorry for the long comment)

[@brissalcido8534]

Yes, I am also very skeptic of the ovulus, but even my shaniac husband said that the responses for this one were very consistent to what was happening, no just saying random $hit.

[@scenekidtuesday]

i thought this as well! i don’t normally take the ovilus seriously even though i’m a believer, unless it’s very specific or on the nose. this was a great example of how it can be useful! but it isn’t always lol

[@shardelefler7020]

I wanna see a prank episode where the crew screws with them, we know Ryan would freak and I'd love to see Shane's reaction to "real" evidence 😂

[@emmamacdonald9415]

I love how Shane clearly does this just for Ryan even tho it hurts his soul, just like Ryan does puppet history for Shane. Theyre just the best of friends, and i hope it never ends. Our little fox and the hound irl

he is the BEST sport.

[@samanthaseaman9632]

Instigates* lol

[@InsanityPlea100]

He is the worst sport. He goes in before ryan gets there and actively tells his demon brothers not to show themselves, just to put ryan through his own personal h e double hockeysticks of having to not find evidence again and again!

[@GabeHorn699]

​@InsanityPlea100 he goes into places and demands them to show themselves and they don't. Makes no difference here or the goatmans bridge because it's all in Ryan's imagination so there's no hell going on except what's in his boogara brain

[@graciegolding9508]

Idk what he's thinking but he does actively bug the demons/ghosts whatnot. Probably sucks up all the energy, the big lout. He's going along with Boog to watch him freak out. It's quite hilarious, actually. I know people who use to be able to see dead people a l Haley Joel Osment but it went away. Do they exist? Who knows. There's more we don't know than we know. Universes are giant mysteries.

[@adalovelace13127]

Hey guys! The piece of evidence of Itsy moving the ball in the couples room (12:22) Ryan says theres nothing else moving in the frame, but if you look to the right; the skirt of the dress hanging up starts to flutter, then to the left a large shadow crosses the doorway. Could you look back at it during debrief? Love you guys, keep investigating!!

[@kyallon1213]

It sucks that the Ovilus is the one piece of “ghost hunting equipment” that is by nature meaningless in terms of evidence. Like from the perspective of an engineer, the concept of “using environmental readings to make words” is a fancy way to say random word generator.

[@mollyc-e1608]

[@jordanmontague6]

Been watching this show since the beginning back at buzzfeed and I was saying to my husband as we watched last night, "you know, I kind of used to believe in ghosts but watching this over the years has proven to me that they aren't real. People looking this hard for this long would have found something by now." Its actually helped me be less scared of bumps in the night. I know if I hear anything I can just call out "bitch boy" and nothing will happen 😂. Thank you for this show - it is wildly entertaining.

[@hapimusicyt]

Omg yas me too! I used to be deathly afraid of being alone in the dark at night. But after watching the boys trying to find evidence for so many years and turning up empty, nowadays I don't even think much of it when I walk home alone at night even during the lunar ghost month

[@maefromnitw4091]

i don't think that's necessarily true. and besides, ryan does believe they've found a lot of evidence during their shows, while shane doesnt. it's all up to what you believe and what you don't

[@la_gobba_di_aigor]

@@maefromnitw4091 yeah but none of that _evidence_ is trying to kill you and that's comforting.

I feel exactly the same. 😅 I even had an experience as a kid that, as an adult I look back at it and think there is no possible way that happened, yet I remember it pretty clearly lmao. I chalk it up to childish imagination. The only bumps in the night that scare me now are the ones that could mean someone is breaking in or whatever lolol

[@deniseyeaisaidit]

I watched a few different ghost hunting channels and the only channels that get real hits (legitimate) are people who are respectful to the space and the ghosts and they are not cracking jokes every five seconds. There’s been so many times where Ryan and Shane have gotten great clues and hits and they turn it into an ad lib to be funny. I know I may sound like a Debbie downer, but I miss when Ryan took this seriously and I know half the time he cracks jokes so that he won’t be scared but the “hunting” has shifted. Remember when the ghost call them nerds because they were going back-and-forth about a word in the dictionary, that shows you that they 100% hear you and are watching you and most are ready to communicate. And they are not going to engage you if you’re acting like a bunch of clowns and saying rude ass shit. I know this won’t be a popular comment and that’s OK but I got to speak my truth. I know I can’t be the only one who has noticed this and feels this way. 👻👻👻

[@annienunyabiz6627]

So let me get this straight. A hotel with a bad history becomes dilapidated and gets picked up by some rich investor. After this point, it magically suddenly becomes super haunted, and then is advertised as a super haunted hotel to come stay in. Sounds more like a person with a good business sense bought a hotel, spread rumors about the super spoopy goings-on, and a bunch of gullible schmucks fell for it. Good for the owner. I intend to do the same someday if I ever get the chance.

[@motionblurofhappy7804]

Not only that but one of the pieces of evidence where the clearly obvious human is in the window, someone came forward with video proof that it was them in the window of the hotel that actively has people in it. “OMG THERES SOMEONE IN THE WINDOW OF A HOTEL” they talk about that in the debrief though.

[@discountmorty213]

Yeah not really something new some hotels cash in on haunted areas and get those people to come experience it just like that hotel from the shinning

This is bogus as the picked up "words" they claim to be heared. They only work as they show the word before and then play the sound.

I'm so sorry but if I was a ghost child and Ryan and Shane came into my room and said shit like, "It's not a trap... we're not going to kill you" and then started screaming Itsy Bitsy Spider, I'd peace out.

It seems like they notice things in real time. The responses come as soon as their lips are done speaking the last letter of their word. Pretty wild

There were quite a few really well timed appropriate words from the ovilus that Shane either completely ignored or brushed past on his solo investigation, I was surprised it didn’t grab his attention more.

[@mindyfromthecoast]

For Debrief: Speaking of a stiff breeze! In the Ghedi video, at 12:26, you can see the bottom of the dress (on the viewers left) start moving as the ball is really getting rolling. This makes me think either the AC kicked on, a window was open, or some other air source pointed at the toys (conveniently off camera) started blowing, causing the ball to move and the bottom of the dress caught a bit of the breeze too.

[@disillusioned.hermit]

Not to mention the shadow that walks across the room

[@TheDeviIDogg]

Glad I checnked the comments before I made my comment saying the exact same thing

[@RedMinja]

Glad others have noticed the dress moving too!! :)

Yes, i agree with possible AC, the ball moves in the same direction to how the dress lifts up but in the opposite direction to the black shadow that comes in from camera left through the door. the black shadow is strange.

So watching Shane's solo investigation was fun. 😂 I think the ghosts were saying the spider he was playing with was "unholy". Many Christains believe that demons can take the shape of things that are possibly scary to scare people. They were saying "wow" because he was weird. 😂 In the bedroom, they said "character" because he is quite a character. Just my thoughts on that. The "window show" was definitely fun. Is Ryan's, the ghosts thought his version of the singing was "dark". 😂 He seemed to figure out what the machine was trying to say. Good on him. I really enjoy their ghosts hunts. They make it lighthearted and funny. Amazing.

[@28tayslater]

The chest cam footage from Ryan after his face cam died felt like watching a horror movie. Every pan to a new doorway had me so anxious and prepared to see something standing there that Ryan himself never could see. Terrifyingly good anxiety created there!

For Debrief: The evidence submitted about the ghost in the window looks very much like a human in a hoodie caught by surprise. However, after Ryan and Shane started ringing the bell, take a closer look at the window. I'm pretty sure I saw some sort of movement. Looked like the curtains moved. Or something between the curtains appeared?
