[@rhiannonreed8793]

As someone who keeps a lot of chickens... it might actually be that the chickens are "talking". There have been many times out around our coops I'll turn around thinking I heard someone mumbling and all that's there are the birds. They make many vocalizations that sound almost (but not quite) like human speech and it's often just enough to trigger your "oh someone's talking" sense, and this becomes more apparent the more birds you have as their sounds layer over each other.

[@celestia486]

Ew…that’s cool. I guess if other birds do it why couldn’t a chicken nugget do it

[@faultyfox669]

That’s a great point, I often have similar experiences with pigeons where I live. They just love to roost on window sills and they make a lot of murmuring noises. A bunch of sounds in the prison eps just sound exactly like it to me 😅 not to mention the starlings and crows that replicate common sounds like knocking, whistles, and alarms, as well as human vocalisations.

[@Tyriad_]

Definitely, I had a "house chicken" for awhile (she hatched disabled s9 we raised her inside until she could join the flock) and she actually learned how to "mimic" us, to an extent. Like someone mumbling in the cadence of a human sentence but you couldn't make out any actual words. Their nighttime murmurings can also sound wild if you aren't used to them

[@alexhudspeth1213]

Can confirm we have 4 laying hens and a Parrot in the coop, and he's not the only one making confusing noises, lol. He has a favorite game of whispering "hi" if you walk near the coop at night.

[@peepytime]

That is such a great point! So many birds can mimic human speech too.

[@d.j482]

Shane and Ryan: struggling with their friendship Also Shane and Ryan: Princess carry✨

[@JGAbstract]

I like that Shane is still mocking the cry babies from the one season of BUN where everyone cried about how mean they were to each other that season and they were having issues. It was bizarre. Like their fans have never seen friends bust each other's balls and be sarcastic before.

[@TruckerCatz]

Ryan’s solo spirt box session is probably the most compelling evidence ever caught by the show. With the very clear “Ryan” being said by multiple voices, to saying “I’m shy”, and “there you go” after turning on the light.” The biggest evidence was the spirit saying “I’m moving on” and then the spirit box going silent. Amazing evidence!

It was amazing to see Shane actually like "hmmm that was wierd" when he heard the noise on his solo time. For a brief moment he looked like he actually was confused that it may be real

[@gozzilla177]

well he does try to point out when he hears or sees something that is weird but its also pretty easy to explain some weird stuff cuz it aint that weird. Now the moving chopping block and stuff that's some weird "cant explain stuff" which is why he leans to fake, and i would agree to as it cant be so easily explained without some trickery. Because if you don't believe something exist your not gonna claim it does in fact exist and that's the reason it happened xD i know its frustrating though to be like "evidence" then have it brushed off because the only explanation we can offer in the realm of reason is "faked."

That stuff is too serious a threat to your health and life to just say "It's ghosts!" and potentially endanger yourself and/or your family.

I have a friend who practices witchcraft and the first thing she tells people when they come to her asking for advice about a potential haunting is to get their house checked for carbon monoxide and other things like that. it's just ethical to start there, with something we know for SURE is dangerous and can be easily addressed.
