q's for debrief in the replies of this comment please!

[@nichelleswanston]

For the Debrief: Hey guys! I was wondering if you guys could test out the spirit box and/or the ovilus during the debrief to see what kind of responses you get in a place that isn’t considered haunted. Also, can you guys pronounce Saskatchewan? Sending good vibes from rural Saskatchewan 🇨🇦 #ghostfilesdebrief

[@junodude456]

Question for debrief: For Ryan and the team, in the entire time you've been investigating, have you ever experienced anything following you home and do you guys have any special rituals that you do after a shoot is done to help "protect" you and your team? Loved this series! Words can't express how grateful me, and I'm sure the whole community is, that you guys got back into the ghoul hunting. I'm looking forward to what the future holds for the ghoul bois!

[@professionalrockeater]

what would you guys want to look like if you were ghosts? i know ryan wants to be a friendly one, but i'd love to hear shane's ideas lmao

[@gameglizzy0850]

so far, what’s the scariest thing you guys have heard/seen?

[@PossiblyAlena]

Hiya ghoul boys! How do the ghosts know how to use the ovulus? Because the description of it is that certain frequencies/temps correlate to certain words right? Wouldn't they have to memorize every single words' associated conditions to be able to use it? Ik Shane's answer is just that it's inherently BS but I'm curious what Ryan thinks.

[@francesleones4973]

That figure in the closet appearing as soon as Shane yelled, "SHOW US YOUR BODY!" is proof of him being a demon. The entity was too scared to refuse his command.

[@kurtashcraft3761]

if the floor of the basement is natural limestone, it's incredibly likely that there is simply some kind of water leak below the stone. limestone is very porous and malleable & so it soaks water into it very easily. it's actually very common in a lot of older houses, what shane likely touched that smelled funky was just mold growing on the surface of the water-soaked limestone. mold is spookier than ghosts

[@4wayStopEnforcement]

It’s almost certainly limestone because of the house’s proximity to nearby limestone mines. I’ve been in them. They are wet. And they smell funky. Can confirm.

If the mom was experiencing sleep paralysis she very well could have a sleep disorder, and since they’re genetic her daughter probably did too. Hearing that her daughter started sleepwalking pretty much confirmed it.

[@kcs3151]

This! I had a couple of instances of sleep paralysis in my teens, and didn't think anything of it. When my daughter was 4, she developed night terrors. Never connected the two and have since had some pretty intense sleep paralysis episodes as an adult, usually when I'm too tired, as well as my partner telling me I have night terrors. No matter how much sleep I got either, I am constantly exhausted so I finally had a sleep study done. Turns out I have obstructive sleep apnea and the night terrors were my body's way of making sure I didn't die. I'm also not getting into the restorative sleep cycle at all so that's why I'm always tired. And it turns out that my sleeping disorder is not just more common in women but is also genetic. If a mother has it, there's a 70% that either her mother, sister, daughter or aunt will also have it. My ex is trying to find a pediatric sleep doctor for my daughter to see.

I mostly had auditory hallucinations, for example.

I found Shane's comment interesting about the family making up the stories to market their house. Then, when they were going through the log book and Ryan finding the popcorn made me realise it's an Airbnb (confirmed with a google) so, it wouldn't surprise me if that is true. This episode is incredible advertising for the owners.

I'm right there with you, Shane! I want to sleep in a Harry Potter closet, too. I did get to sleep in my closet when I was a kid, growing up in a very haunted house. I had to sleep there if I didn't want to see the orbs and shadow man manifesting from the portal in the corner of my bedroom.

Shane and Ryan should wear heart monitors during solo investigations! I want to see if Shane ever gets nervous!

THIS! lol

[@mac_kenzie]

They talked about it in their live show. They couldn’t get it to work this season but they are gonna try again for next season

[@justalittleturtle5600]

Yeah but their BPM could raise just what walking around too much (like up and down stairs) and also from acting out (like how Shane just suddenly yells). It could get pretty hard trying to discern what’s genuine fear/discomfort and what’s just the two being out of shape idiots (as we all are).

[@Spamhard]

I don't really see the need. Shanes heart rate spiking doesn't really show or prove anything. Even if he did get nervous, it's pretty natural for people to be more wary in the dark, and also could just as easily be from any other thing. Like shit, I get heart rate spikes when sitting in my chair lol. And Shane's already admitted multiple times he does sometimes feel spooked in some of the areas, because they're isolated and dark, and there's the natural fear of the unknown.

[@a_m_m444]

I think it’s brilliant that Shane has managed to convince Ryan that he is just a tall oddly shaped human, knowing Ryan is terrified of demons but only a little scared of ghosts. So Shane has made Ryan more and more comfortable over the years, slowly gaining his trust…

[@narcleptik]

[@lililkalulukalilalilalulal1438]

he played the guilt card with ryan by having him kill the professor and ryan didn't know his intrusive thoughts were caused by outside manipulation. or in this case now that shane (let's call him that for now) has fed on his fear and managed to get a tighter grasp on his soul... inside manipulation.
