[@dragonicdoom3772]

Fun fact: If you have the subtitles on, you can see them read "distant door opening" right before Gabriel starts telling the investigator to get out. Its because Gabriel knows that's the killer and he's trying to save the investigator, but because his speech is limited he can't explain it so he just goes killer robot mode to scare the investigator away.

[@EternalPhoenix]

Good catch!

[@BioFox08]

AND, it does say (Shotgun blast) when he shoots!

[@24hoursinthelife]

I wonder if the implication is that he's trying to scare the investigator away, or if he can't control himself at that point because he wants to get to Ourple guy.

[@paramyadav7546]

Hope matpat sees this

[@tayloranderson7547]

Yes he is

[@rubybolton4860]

To be fair, in a world where ghosts are just 100% real, a ghost buster is probably more like a specialized exterminator than anything else

[@Mr_Careo]

yea

[@kittyc0n]

even then, as someone with experience with spirits, you cant really just.... "exterminate them". its energy. you can expel energy unless theres nothing for it to interact with.

[@asokta]

@@kittyc0n I'm confused. How do we know how ghosts 'work' in this fictional world?

[@Visualeaf]

My favorite thing about this is that while Afton suddenly appearing and shooting the protagonist is extremely sudden and seemingly out of nowhere, it's actually seeded out throughout the video that another human is present, but it's mixed in with the various paranormal phenomena so you don't notice (this is why the protag saw a human shaped shadow and why the doors kept locking). His presence also completely recontextualizes the conversation with Gabriel. Gabriel seemed to know the whole time, or at least part of the time, that Afton was there (this is why Gabriel says "him" when asked who killed him, despite having not seen the killer clearly).

[@tayloranderson7547]

This is what I've been suddenly appeared and shooting the patrol guys is extremely

[@tayloranderson7547]

For real life

[@Bull-Bun]

This also makes sense with the "No, too dark." response. To me, it would be more likely the killer and Gabriel started in a well lit place, not only that Afton probably had the golden bonnie suit on. He must have been saying it was to difficult to see Afton's face in the dark in that moment.

[@oddity7263]

Simple yet so very cleverly-written.

[@harrytarded7002]

but the human shaped shadow was established by the ghost hunter to be the ghost kids?

[@Larucos]

In defense of the ghost buster guy, in a world where FNAF is real you have to assume there would just be SO much paranormal shenanigans going around everywhere else. Imagine how much agony must be powering metal structures everywhere that just didn't have little animal faces and free roaming limbs to go around causing spooks.

That's so sad :[[

[@theredstonia777]

I actually caught onto that super fast, at no point do any of the ghosts show any hostility, they have no reason too, the investigator is there best chance of freedom, the only reason for him to tell sean to leave is too warn him, to help him.

I don't think William was necessarily there the whole time, rather that he had just entered the restaurant when Gabriel started telling the guy to get out. Gabriel wasn't trying to hurt him, he just wanted to scare him so he'd run and be able to live and release the evidence

[@josephsandoval1635]

That’s exactly what happened that’s why the investigator saw a shadowy head so Gabriel did have to threaten him so he can leave and survive

Fun fact about spirit boxes because this bugged me a small bit: spirit boxes quickly change through radio stations. Therefore there's a chance of hearing a voice from a local broadcasting station. Also if you'll notice in the VHS video, it occasionally does play little snippets from what could be assumed as radio stations. I really enjoyed that attention to detail.

[@quirkyviper]

Thank you, I was coming to the comments for this. I also liked how he asked it to say his name - that's something I've only seen become popular practice recently. I think the 1st time I heard it was Shane & Ryan on GhostFiles, lol.

One thing I do wish Matpat had on during his reaction was the subtitles. In the subtitles you can see the 'faint noise of a door opening' or something along those lines, and shortly after Gabriel starts going haywire, it's a small detail but it makes so much add up.

[@maxedoutvibes]

See now, if John Green really knew how to deal with kid ghosts, he’d ask a simpler question like “Why are you inside the Bear?” Instead of “*why are you possessing the animatronic?*” I feel like he couldve gotten a clue as to what Gabriel REALLY meant by “Inside the Bear”

38:00 actually, a spirit box is just a specifically programmed radio that rapidly switches between radio stations. The idea is the ghost can either find a frequency to slip a word out on, or use the actual words from the stations. The issue with this though, is occasionally a word slips out that may not actually be a ghost. So they're useful, but not concrete proof

[@Jumpyman_thegamerYT]

EMF readers rapidly go through multiple frequencies (thats the static noise). The Ovulus work in a similar way, except there is a set of words pre-programmed into the device. With this VHS tape, I don't believe Gabriel meant the Investigator any harm. He needed to scare him into leaving. I think he was just trying to warn him that he had to leave, otherwise William Afton would get him. Afton is the one who is spotted by the investigator near the arcade machines. It's obvious that Afton wouldn't want anyone to know that he was the killer, and I think it's likely he heard that there would be a paranormal investigator in the building that night, because he works at Freddys Pizza. Also, the bang we hear at the end is a gunshot. If you put the subtitles on, you can see 'Shotgun blast' in the subtitles. This is Williams killing the investigator. Afton is also the one who steps into frame at the end, and picks up the camera. Edit: I was wrong about EMF readers. A spirit box is the one that makes noise, as kindly told to me by people in the replies.

My favorite part is the look on Matt's face right before they said it, like "wait no what are you doing-"

[@ravenhurst96]

I rewound this part about 5 times because I couldn't stop laughing.

[@Volair]

Really cool video series, but those questions are truly abrupt. It's part of being a short video, so it's fine in this context, but I feel like the questions would be need to be far more leading and gentle, so that the victim could decide what to share: • Did someone hurt you? • They did? Who hurt you? • Do you remember how they hurt you? • It's okay if you don't want to share right now, we can talk about other things. • Would you like to leave this place? • You would? Can you leave? • You can? How can I help you leave?

Poltergeists tend to be confined to a certain location and can move things around. Phantom is just another term for ghosts in general.

Poltergeist are also described as louder then the average ghosts.

So...I'm to assume he didn't say "Get out" as in bad memories, instead it's a warning because William is there... Also I'm in pain, for I have lost the game repeatedly now.

[@Naipom01]

The fact that they edited out when the character said "I was gonna do some stuff in the bathroom to get those kids out, but I guess they weren't a fan of that" has me dead 💀💀

[@jenneric03]

HAHAHAHA

[@wow1763]

My theory is William was the shadow he saw and as the investigator got closer to the truth Gabriel noticed Afton and told the investigator to leave because he recognised who he was, and that is why Gabriel chased him out because he was taking too long.

[@Adeios96]

This episode was one of the funniest reactions in a while. I really enjoyed how talkative Ash is in this one. MatPat's and Ash's chemistry really shined through in their commentary/back and forth conversations for this episode.

[@Congele_]

53:53 : Omg, the creepiness of the video was really starting to get to me, as I'm actually watching this late at night for immersion (that's usually not a problem but these videos are so well made that they're far creepier than what I usually watch), and then Ash's comment litterally _dropped_ ; I laughed SO hard! The timing on this was perfect 😂Dang I love these interactions with Ash so much!

Humor and Horror

[@warcats-cat]

Being someone who used to watch Buzzfeed Unsolved and now watches Watcher, and knows the drill with the EMF and the Spirit Box, it's really funny and a little frustrating that Matpat doesn't know what they are//at least look up what it does for the reaction.

[@sparkislost]

i agree, him being blissfully unaware and laughing at it was a little frustrating lmao

[@testerwulf3357]

That's just life! No one knows everything. Sometimes you just don't know something and that's ok..he probably looked it up afterwards and had a huge facepalm moment if that makes you feel any better

[@warcats-cat]

@@testerwulf3357 yeah, I know. I'm not angry about it or anything. It's just funny to me that I have an extra piece of knowledge over someone who's horror content I really enjoy. Horror and ghosts and stuff is a really big field, but you don't realize it until you start finding yourself in the different corners where the knowledge gets really niche.

[@andresmurcia950]

It took me watching the video a few more times, but “Gabriel’s” voice changing on die might actually mean the other spirits are in the room. It says die five times, Chica, Bonnie, Freddy, Foxy, and Golden Freddy. Also when Freddy starts screaming at the end you can still hear the word “out”. The spirits are still warning Shawn even after turning aggressive.

"Hey spirits, see that guy over there?" Afton in the distance: "I always come back!" "Yea, he's a bad guy" Spirits: *Angy face*

For reference on what a ghostbox is: It's basically an oscillator. It jumps between reading AM and FM radio frequencies. My assumption is that the reason they led with the box was to see if they could pick up on any possible disturbance. Maybe the idea is that a ghost may not be strong enough to speak in all circumstances (too unstable to manifest noise at a consistent, human audible frequency), and a box has a widerfield of perception?

[@helpme7353]

Actually if you have subtitles on it will say door creaking open so that means William doesn't enter the building until the end that's why Gabriel was telling him to leave because he knew his killer was in the building and he was trying to save Sean

Phantoms are generally angry spirits that stay in one place and often cause harm or injury while poltergeist are usually tied to people with strong emotions instead of a place and tend to move or throw object and are often pranksters.

[@deirenne]

I screamed when I realized that MatPat genuinely has no idea what The Game is, but then I was filled with pure joy when Ash went on full on nerdy rant explaining it to MatPat and I screamed again, now with autistic excitement, when they had the "Welcome to The Game, Mat"/"I don't know if I wanna be here"/"YOU DON'T HAVE A CHOICE!" exchange, because that's exactly what I do XD Bless you Ash, we don't deserve you. Mat, small hint of hope: everyone does, indeed, play The Game, whether they like it or not, but it's only until the queen of England, the pope or the president of the United States says on camera "The Game is up". Since the queen is dead, we only have Biden and Francis to count on, BUT you've met with the later, so maybe you can make it stop and make us all win!
