I love how all the other ghost hunter channels have soooo much activity in their investigations of this location and as soon as Ryan and Shane show up there’s barely anything. Two possibilities: the other channels are bs or Shane’s a demon.

[@yashthaha]

Shane's a demon

[@dreamcatcher6312]

They talk so much, they probably drown the ghosts out.

[@novahan]

@@dreamcatcher6312 lol no, its mostly quite and dull on the actual site in real time, they edit those out cuz....its boring obviously, and edit in the ones that have a conversation. I don't think you'd like to see a 30min silent footage of Shane or Ryan looking around and trying to communicate with no response

I feel accomplished providing the 666th like on this comment

[@Xbob42]

For Debrief: You guys ever consider giving Shane some tools of his own? Ryan has all his little cute props like the Spirit Tickler or the Voodoo Box or whatever. But I feel like as the skeptic, Shane should have his own set of skeptic tools. For example, in episodes where it's mentioned that people would get nauseated in certain parts of a building, perhaps a natural gas detector, a radon gas detector... I dunno, a Geiger counter?

[@jettsamoo787]

wait i really like this idea

[@shannongilligan930]

Infrasound can cause feelings of fear, nervousness, sorrow, and general unease so maybe an infrasound detector as well

[@lezbeginwithashley1107]

[@pinkdarkboy7127]

Didn't they already do that? I feel like I remember Shane and Ryan trying bird watching or something. It was a fun video and I wanted more like it. Maybe that never happened and it was a ghostly illusion, though...

@@pinkdarkboy7127 Yeah! They went bird watching. It was part of the weird and wonderful world series they did earlier on. I loved it! I wish it was back!

[@madisonlay8833]

There should be an episode where Ryan compiles his best evidence of a place being haunted and then Shane brings in a home inspector to explain away all hauntings as just the result of poor compliance with building codes.

Can you imagine being a ghost from years and years and years ago that had no idea what a camera is, and all of a sudden, your ass just gets lit up by these two

[@fluffy_mcsparkle]

#debrief : the dying birds, headaches and people getting extremely tired in marys room sound a lot like carbon monoxide poisoning. It can also cause memory loss, so maybe she pulled the clothes out herself but couldn´t remember.

[@arianamaria_]

I was definitely thinking the same thing. I’m very in the middle about believing in ghosts and have found some of their evidence pretty compelling but all those events definitely sound like CO poisoning

[@poppymason-smith1051]

Thought that as well. Multiple animals dying in one room always a sign to get a CO monitor or check for a gas leak. (gas leaks can also cause hallucinations)

[@mac8697]

one of the animals was literally a canary, like the canaries they brought into coal mines to detect when C02 got too high and they needed to get out.

[@SpahrSpahr]

That actually does sound like something that would be good for them to bring with on investigations

[@SantaFishes101]

carbon monoxide typically is heavier than air. it would not be centered in one room on the second floor. (forgive me if it's on the first bit still)

[@starrygrl171]

#Debrief Shane, you all have been investigating for a long time now; what’s the closest “evidence” you’ve gotten even close to believing?

[@meghanmihalko1188]

As a native upstate New Yorker I can confirm these types of houses out in the middle of nowhere are actually horrifying. They're also more common than people think.

[@Kinobambino]

And next to all those wooded areas too!

[@jimmywinter7961]

​@@Greyseabee got lost in the bine barrens as a child while camping, it was absolutely terrifying. Also, another upstate NY person myself, can confirm there are houses like this all over but they don't all have the same energy. I helped my friend do some roofing down in Hudson NY, beautiful old house. Owner was gone, house is empty except for us outside and the only area we had access to was the back porch. We all saw someone inside multiple times, we called the owner and he confirmed nobody was in the house, the electric and everything had been shut off, we had to have our own sources of power.

[@Hellishsly]

[@charliem4560]

I think it would be interesting for you guys to test all of your ghost devices in an area you both believe is not haunted. So you can see if the devices are always activated regardless of the area.

[@rikkblack]

that’s a great idea!!

[@HoneyxLime]

Perfect idea

[@akaittou]

The difficulty of that is that you can never know if a place is haunted until you get a reaction - for example, the hill my childhood home is on isn't thought to be a haunted location at all, but it's the one place where I've had some vivid encounters myself.

[@TheChosenOne0420]

@@akaittouidk when u had these encounters but if they were when u were sleeping or about to sleep could have been a hallucination since your brain releases psychedelic chemicals like dmt

Carbon monoxide or other gas buildup would explain ghost sightings and hallucinations too

@@elodee3 I always forget that alot of cases of haunts from the early 90s were CO leaks and chemical buildups. I guess it's such a silent killer we don't even think about it. That's incredibly sad if true tho :( at that point the ghosts sound easier to cope with than a CO leak that you didn't know about

[@elodee3]

​@@grimmick9446 Yes. This is also why its important not to jump to ghosts as an explanation for strange occurrences. Yeah, usually ghosts are just the house settling or an animal, but sometimes they're actually deadly gas leaks.

[@rhysabrahams7921]

It could be, but keep in mind they have a few crew members standing outside, so if it was an animal that made that noise, they would have heard it and debunked it. Not everybody is inside the building that is on site. As Ryan has mentioned previously, the only people inside are the two of them, mark and an audio op, but they travel with like 7 crew members. So, I'm not saying it WAS a spirit, I'm just saying they would have debunked it if it was an animal.

After I stepped away from all of the big ghost hunting TV shows, this was one of a small number of shows still recommended by skeptics and I’m hooked. I love the humor and the believer skeptic combo. Some people that are all in on ghosts might see it as disrespectful, but if I snuff it and I’m stuck hanging around some house for eternity, a bit of levity would be like water in the desert.

[@whatabouttheearth]

I mean, noone is obligated to play along with people's fantasy. Ghosts aren't real

[@workingorder2189]

Ryan needs to give us one demon investigation a season. The Ghoul Boys need to cover all them super natural bases.

[@kactuswillow]

I mean, you gotta fill the demon quota somehow. 😈😅

[@wheresmybonejuice5524]

For the #Debrief : Ryan, has your belief in ghosts increased or decreased since becoming a paranormal investigator?

[@vesperalonso6056]

i feel like his answer would be that he’s just as scared as he was in the beginning but he’s grown more comfortable in those environments or in that fear

[@adrianhernandez6401]

Do you guys even watch the other episodes? This question has already been asked

"we should have brought some glowsticks" 😂God I love Shane.

[@ignaciodiaz919]

Iswear to god Ryan had never been this unhinged. Seeing him talk to his reflection was both hilarious, terrifying and also sad.

[@codyshamback1982]

For #debrief Shane: would you ever want to bring your own tools and methods to an investigation site? For example, many "hauntings" could be gas leaks, animals, or other natural causes. Instead of just bullying Ryan (as fun as that must be), you could also conduct your own investigation into other causes.

[@HotStrange]

That would actually be cool. And then if Shane can’t prove it’s NOT a ghost it could lead to more compelling evidence.

[@jenk4545]

​@HotStrange That's not how it works tho 😂. Just because you can't prove something isn't a ghost doesn't mean it's any more likely that it IS a ghost. A lack of evidence of one thing is not evidence for something else.

[@HotStrange]

@@jenk4545 ….i didn’t say that. I said that would make the other evidence more compelling. Not that it would prove there was a ghost. But go off I guess

[@bunnyellabell]

​@@HotStrange yeah they took it personally and wanted to sound smart lol i think op has a really good idea :)

[@jenk4545]

@@HotStrange No need to get so defensive friend, I'm just pointing out that not being able to prove something isn't a ghost isn't evidence that it's something else. It doesn't make the ghost theory any more compelling.

For the debrief: You guys ever consider displaying the time occasionally so we know what time you're going through the house, doing your solo investigations, etc.? I always wonder about this.

[@brianc6884]

Pretty crazy when Ryan says “Jesus” the noise completely and immediately stops.

[@reiyari]

7:39 Shane's reenactment and Ryan's "what the hell" killed me WHY DID HE POSE LIKE THAT LMAO

[@thisorthat7746]

God the little details in the 3d rendering of the scenes are just incredible. The Professor toasting a marshmellow in his little campfire back there and Ryan's R circle shaking with fear, dropping the flashlight while Shane's S circle just shakes his head at him. I also love how you can see the car approaching, slowing down to a stop, before we zoom in on the building and the blueprint view then pan out again to see the car parked and now the R & S circles are there; the boys have arrived on scene. (also I'm not a car expert but I'm pretty sure that's a classic muscle car, which makes it even better) The Ghost Files crew fucking rock.

[@beokfoundation]

The Professor being there is just so cute

[@DanielleVlog365]

Honestly, The Professor being at this house deepens the lore and convinces me more than anything that something is amok here 😂

[@lexismith2681]

For debrief: Shane, which location has given you the worst vibe? Not because of ghosts, but overall history. Ryan, what kind of equipment/toys would you like to have for future investigations?

This. Especially with all the drama going on right now with some of them.

@@XDTheAmandaYou think the second things actually start happening (doors slamming etc.) his first reaction isn't going to be "I'm being set up?" Ryan's reaction would be much more entertaining (although also a lot more cruel).

43:00 for the #debrief: those pet deaths immediately made me think of the old "canary in a coal mine" expression. have they perhaps checked this house for a gas leak?

[@Sparkleydoggy]

That was my first thought!

[@elodee3]

yeah, like, im getting CO leak vibes tbh

[@corie1989]

Yeah, those animals definitely died from some sort of leak (if the story was true at all).

[@unicornmermaid7802]

I feel like Shane was more nervous this episode😂 Everytime they turned on the spirit box and got a response, their eyes shot open👀 and they paused. But then brushing it off as if it didn’t just happen😂 I love this!

[@taitia8619]

I think he's trying to make up for Ryan's lessened responses, making sure it stays fun

[@kierstenstevens]

[@MsJenniferTheAwesome]

Before I started watching these guys years ago, I wholeheartedly believed in ghosts. And as much as I want to believe and want Ryan to find evidence, this show (because they are so genuine and don’t fabricate evidence like EVERY other show/channel) has single-handedly made me very very skeptical that ghosts are real.

[@Vantablack69]

That's what the ghosts WANT you to think 👀

[@masterkara23]

I still believe because I've seen a few but I don't get scared during videos anymore because I just think of how silly they are lol

[@jpkjnn6733]

I hear ya. I've been skeptical from the get go, but i very much wish there were such things as ghosts. It would be incredibly relieving to think that there is life after death and that lost loved ones aren't actually lost forever. But when i watch everything with a critical eye it just becomes impossible to believe.

[@HoneyxLime]

@@jpkjnn6733 I think it sounds more sad that you would get stuck haunting a Place after death instead of ceasing to exist

[@judasromero]

If this was my only source of not believing I wouldn't buy it. Shane does everything to fumble each and every investigation because he doesn't allow anything to happen aka he's not serious and when he goes alone all he does is talk talk talk talk talk.

[@sabrinabree28]

in our belief, ghost or any supernatural being has their own pride. they wont show themself just to anyone at any situation. so its kinda funny to me each time they taunt the "ghost" to show themself, because the more they taunt them, the more they will never show themself😭🤣. they have this kind of "i have nothing to prove, especially to you" vibe.

[@kats9755]

I love and hate how unserious Shane is 😂 And I love when Ryan loses it (both laughter and freaking out). Quality entertainment right here.

[@angelicaochoa7026]

Ryan: "I'm going to prove ghosts exist. Let's catch some evidence baby!!" Also Ryan when really compelling evidence is caught: "That was the worst thing that's ever happened to me in my entire life."

[@NitroGummyBear]

Also he asks the same questions cause he’s too afraid to keep going and then makes jokes like rub Shane’s nipples right as it was getting interesting

[@peachorosco]

It absolutely isn't a ghost files episode without Ryan triggering the ghosts with his screaming and Shane treating an abandoned house like a nature retreat

[@rnwnwa]

Hey, y'all can try investigating urban legends in different countries! it would be a really fun series! Do some collab with local ghost hunters and hunt ghosts together 😂

[@rnwnwa]

fun countries with fun urban legends / haunted places: 1. Japan 2. Thailand 3. Malaysia 4. Indonesia 5. Portugal 6. Ireland

[@Juju3947]
