Send us q's for the Debrief under this comment!

[@alexkaur1222]

For the debrief: Okay, so first I just wanna say, I have literally been a massive fan of you guys since like middle school, and now I am in college; it's actually crazy to me. And I absolutely love the friendship the two of you have sm. So now the question: do you think you might be able to get anything with music? like time-centric music, especially with the younger ghosts. I feel like there would be like excitement with the music, and it might have some more results. also my birthday is tmmr, can i get a happy birthday from you guys? I love your show!!!

[@Joanna-tx1ss]

the shane and ryan of the ghost world

[@bill4665]

yeah, one was really challenging and meeting shanes energy. honestly, a ghost bouncing off shanes questions/jokes and coming back at him with the same vibe is actually pretty compelling as the more they spoke, the more aggressive the answers got. really makes for good evidence as its not stiff constant answers its almost built up the more shane took the piss out of the ghoul. especially with the whole fight thing.

for the debrief: whatever dark energy was in that house was really toying with you in a personal way. it knew ryan’s fear of sally, it wasn’t shocked by (and kind of mocked) shane’s methods, then straight up threatened him. it was interactive in a way other spirits haven’t been. do encounters like this put you especially on edge?

I can’t talk to you through no magic box, and I can’t physically interact with no damn flashlight to turn it on or off because I’m not an object.” While ghost hunters are just constantly trying to use these devices thinking the ghosts can actually intentionally filter out words and stuff from radio waves to speak to them and the ghosts are just standing there like “bruh”…😅

I'm actually a UIC student and have been to the house a few times. I am generally a skeptic but there was something in that house that just pulls at your core. Especially the stairs to the 3rd floor. It's generally blocked off to visitors but the energy that yearns for you to come up is something that I'll always remember. Jane herself was a wonderful person, though. There's lots of honor to her name at the university!

Rewatching Shane and Ryan's banter about the Devil Baby, I remembered reading a book on Icelandic ghost folklore, and there they had had legends about babies who were left to die in the plains (when centuries ago abortions were not allowed but the mother didn't want the child). And the legend is, people would see these ghost babies, but at that time in Iceland it was believed that ghosts looked pretty much like the living, except for they wore red clothes and these babies would crawl with only one side of their bodies functioning (like using only right leg and right hand, for example). I still have this vivid image in my head of these creepy crawling babies.

Thank you for pointing this out. I thought I was the only one who noticed.
