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.

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?

We always talk about how brave the camerapeople are but shout-out to Mark for remaining completely calm when the Ovilis said his name

[@finnopolis]

make sense considering Mark doesn't believe in ghosts

[@Alsebra]

As scientific as the Ovilus sounds, it's still fairly illogical...how does a change in temperature, for example, equate to words? Is there a list where a 0.1° temperature differential spits out "Ryan" or something? Yes, there have been duplicate words out of the thing, but one would expect there to be *more* duplication...

[@Floppuccino]

​@@AlsebraYeah, I recently read someone describe the Ovilus as the "just trust me bro" of ghost hunting equipment, and I think that sums it up accurately.

[@Alsebra]

@@Floppuccino, exactly. It's even hard to take photographic and loud audio "evidence" seriously when someone adamantly claims that there was "definitely nothing there" or "we didn't hear *that* when we were there"...that's not how audio or photo equipment works. I forget if it was on one of the debriefs or on something else where the scientific expert stated that this sort of stuff starts out logically and you're following along just fine...until a leap is made and it goes from logical to illogical in one step. It's absolutely fine to be a believer (hell, I believe in spirits myself, but that's because I've seen and experienced things that totally defy the natural way of things...hearing someone coming downstairs (12 stairs) and walking down the hallway towards you only to not be visible isn't exactly a natural occurrence, ya know?), but once you start relying on pseudoscience as your proof and/or you stop looking at the "evidence" from a scientific/logical standpoint and leaping to conclusions (a growl being a ghost instead of thinking there's an animal around, for example), you're actually hurting your own point of view...and it seems that a lot of the believers here have already taken that plunge.

#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

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

[@marketascheinostova6963]

oh yeah, I wonder that too!

[@MoeEpsilon]

I speak for everyone when I say we would absolutely watch Deer Files with Shane and Ryan

[@RobBombadil]

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

[@ToothpasteJuice]

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.

[@Initiallyleo]

When will they realize that Shane naturally scares off any ghosts or demons without even trying? 😂 The Goatman has yet to show his face after Shane danced upon his bridge.

[@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.

[@VividiVavidi_V]

@@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.

[@bhaktayyyy]

Shane saying "Fuck you, ghosts.." while messing with ouija board is ICONIC 😭😭😭

[@CoyoteGoCrazy]

For #debrief. Throughout your years of investigating, what place would you guys consider the “most haunted”? Has there been anything that made Shane question his skepticism? Similarly, have there been any places you guys have thought were complete BS?

[@modestoca25]

Good questions but I doubt they'll answer

[@bolobolognese]

You know how voice text on your phone messes things up all the time? What if there are ghosts on the other side yelling at the spirit box for showing the wrong words lol

[@taitia8619]

I always think of that with the Ovilus. Surely if this is their first time interacting with one, they'd need some time to figure out how to make the right words

[@HIWTYLSL]

One day Shane needs to take Ryan to a “haunted” house full of his own evidence and it just needs to be an elaborate prank house

[@AmPanMann]

This but reverse so we can see what it takes for Shane to be convinced

[@alexanderbrown8921]

@@AmPanMannYou 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).

[@sunnyjelly333]

only ghost files will have a segment where a ghost hunter is challenged to scream as loudly as possible to mimic a haunted house, and then immediately after have that same ghost hunter stare at himself in the mirror WHILE arguing with himself. this has truly been another season of ghosthunting perfection i think

[@eviebaldwin8394]

I think it’d be really interesting to see the progression of time as you move throughout the house, you know? Like a little clock in the corner, that way you can see how much time is spent in each room and stuff without having to include long silences.

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

For #debrief do you guys ever use a carbon monoxide detector while on location? A lot of the testimonies of previous residents sound like carbon monoxide poisoning related hallucinations.

[@poppymason-smith1051]

They really need one as all those animals dying in that one room...tiredness etc is definitely sounding like CO

[@smallghosts]

Especially since it's such an old house they might have used coal or wood stoves which have a much higher risk for Carbon Monoxide leaks

[@SpahrSpahr]

Great idea to bring one

[@bernardlovesadventures6649]

I'm proud of Ryan for coming such a long way. Being alone in the house and asking the ghosts to hit him! Also Shane had the biggest character development I;ve ever seen - him getting a bit of a shookt from the ovilus 😂It really gives us an honest glimpse into how Shane would react if an actual ghost was on his tail lol

[@STSGuitar16]

Yeah, honestly I think Ryan doesn't fully believe in ghosts anymore since they've done this series (nor do I believe in them lol). He has either become completely desensitized to the idea that he may be interacting with a ghost or just doesn't believe in them as strongly as he did when they started with buzzfeed. I mean, that ouija board session is pretty telling, too. In most ghost hunting shows that board would've been spelling all sorts of things, but, as always, the Ghoul Boys give you the real life experience and don't fake anything or exaggerate the reality of the situation. Having a complete skeptic in Shane on their show is something that every ghost channel should have. It's good to have at least one reality-grounded people on your team, but many are just full of people who will think ghosts cause every little creak and crack of a old-ass building somewhere. That's why Ryan and Shane are the best in the game, imo.

[@julieinid1]

Yes it's made the show much more lame with two people that don't believe in anything

[@michellehunt8100]

When they're basically doing a roll call of all the ghosts in the house, asking "if so and so is here can you turn the light off", I just have this image in my head of all the ghosts standing there together and snickering at Ryan and Shane as they wait for their name to be called.

[@katelynb2913]

10:48 is no one gonna talk about how there was briefly a stick figure showing up on the SLS? Just chilling on the ground?!? Perfect gnome height!

the rem pod/mag light session was the first time in a while that Ryan was visibly spooked by the responses he was getting... other times he was more fascinated by what's happening and internalising any fear even if he vocalised it, but he was genuinely like "yo the mag light and the rem pod are ganging up and staying on time wtf" XD

The animation of Ryan's circle dropping the flash light is so good!! Those were some of the best solos. Shane had me in tears with laughter when he told the boo buddy to shut up (which is wrong do not yell at the baby) and Ryan becoming the house was so good. I love how the toys react for Ryan and not for shane.
