Why you are WRONG about DEBUNKERS!

[@MrPhilreilly]

It isn't debunkers that made me rethink the possibility of the paranormal. It was these bullshit paranormal channels that did that. The debunker channels have been fantastic for my mental health, because it has highlighted that not everyone is fake as. Keep up the great work, Beardo!

I'm no longer afraid to turn the light off, I'm not frightened of every breeze or shadow..because of these videos.

I've been subbed to you, mythos, side eyed Guy along with various "Paranormal Investigators" for a long while. I absolutely love these debunking videos. I've had enough certain channels pulling out their toys... I.E spirit Talker etc and then I go into comments and their followers are believing this. I will soon be camping overnight in many of these locations and I am pretty certain, I will have a great night's sleep uninterrupted, unless it's by the living. I have had my fair share of things I cannot explain. But come on man, These guys have it happen in nearly every bloody video. Ohh because their toys have spoke to them or beep etc. Yes I also have these toys. It's way to easy to set them of and influence them. Stay safe Beardo, love your videos 👍

Stellar job as always bud 👏🏻

[@waynedawson1366]

I'm so glad you've done a video about this, debunking doesn't mean that something has been faked or a channel has been faking, it just means that you've found out what the source of the shadow or sound for example. ❤❤❤❤ Great Video

I only watch debunking channels now. Personally I think that’s it’s the best way to find the truth regarding the afterlife

[@Emmaforever]

Watching debunking videos saved my life. I'd c t up my arms and carved 1 inch high letters spelling demon, in English. On the other arm I carved demon in the witches alphabet. I was seeing and hearing things, pulled my hair out etc. I was medicated, but was still too scared to sleep took an entire ........ of t lets. All because I thought joining the devil would keep the supernatural away. Be cause stupid me had watched ghost video after ghost video, trying to sort out my head. Then I discovered debunking videos. You, Ths world of Mr Grey, Parple and the side eye guy literally saved my life. I wish I could say Thank you enough.

It wasn't debunkers that made me disbelief in the paranormal, it's the fake channels that made me disbelieve. The debunkers made me realise that the paranormal is a very rare thing...

[@jennamenzies3652]

I actually used to be scared of the paranormal until I discovered debunking channels. Now I know im likely not going to encounter a demon or some other "bad" spirit, I'm not scared of my house settling in the middle of the night, or of something falling or moving because it was accidentally precariously placed by me or someone in my house. So, I say debunkers are absolutely necessary to the paranormal community.

[@MistressVantablack]

Houdini and his wife came up with a word that if there was an afterlife he would communicate it to her. For years after Houdinis death, his wife never heard a single medium utter the word.

[@616rico]

In my opinion to call oneself a "debunker" can be a loaded term and has the implications that Simply Strange is erroneously alluding to, "skeptic" is given the same treatment, when what they really mean is "Cynic." Debunking and skepticism are crucial in investigating fields like the paranormal, cryptozoology, alternative medicine and even the misinformation we see on social media. Toss a coin to your debunker and keep up the good work Beardo!

[@kimmartinez1558]

Ben has been proven to be 100% fake. It cracks me up he thinks he can come out with “simply strange “ and no one will know who he is. He’s acting like a debunker, while saying he’s not a debunker. He just released a video on Jack Osborne when he was at his lowest. I would not piss on Ben if he were on fire.he made a BIG mistake going after Jack. Ben is pathetic for attention. 🤮

[@Pagyptsian]

I think the bad impression comes from the way a lot of debunkers indulge in KZbin drama and arguments (even if what they're saying is right). But you're absolutely spot on that the point of debunking isn't to be horrible. Every investigator should be actively working to debunk too. And I like what Watcher were saying last year about having a kind of peer review, quality control system. We might get better answers that way! Thanks for the video Beardo, this is a really important insight.

[@Arcana_Jester]

Very good video, Beardo :) These are things that need to be clarified time and time again, unfortunately. I recommend the film "The Awakening" for a good time. If you haven't seen it, it takes some inspiration from Houdini's debunking, deals with psychological trauma, loss, and potential real paranormal things. Some of it is silly, but for the most part I really like it.

All you debunkers do a fantastic job and should be proud 👏

[@John_Smith_60]

When I made a comment and then tried to correct a punctuation error my edit ran into error problems and now isn't showing, so I shall try again: I don't remember anything about his mother being swindled, but I could be forgetting it. What I *_do_* remember is that, after his mother died, a medium claimed during a séance to have contacted her, and the "spirit" "spoke" through her. Her "spirit" spoke English and called him "Harry". Houdini's mother did not speak English, and never called him "Harry". "Harry Houdini" is his *_stage_* name. His real name is Erik, and that's what his mother called him. So Houdini knew the medium was fake. This angered him and started his debunking career. < *_Aaaargh!_* I made a new punctuation error >

Ben Radford's 'Tracking the Chupacabra" is brilliant.

The people supporting those fake channels are mostly kids with no understanding between fake and real. They become die hard fans and would lay their lives down to protect their fakers. Its always the debunkers who have to fight the hard fights to give those with brains the reality of fake channels and let them not only see the problems but also educate them on it. Thank you beardo for helping us understand. I myself am not an investigator but the help you have brought threw this channel means alot.

[@ElaineBakerCreepyCaboodle]

Something as simple as feeling a cold blast and then finding an open window is debunking. It's about finding a reason for something, not just calling out something as fake, it's a range of things. Any true group or individual investigator that is honestly interested in the subject knows this. I doubt that people, like Ben, have a serious interest in the paranormal etc., or they wouldn't be treating the subject or debunkers with such contempt.

[@sionandjess]

Debunking is close analysis/research and presentation of the facts. You can debunk a theory when studying history ( for example as I studied it for my degree) where you research a subject, analyse the evidence and present the facts proving the initial theory doesn’t take into account all the facts or evidence. Same in science. People need to research the topic of debunking before trying to debunk a debunker!!

[@DetherealDaydream]

I've had unexplained experiences happen to me a lot, including a recurring dream I still cannot explain no matter how much research I do. So I believe there is something even if it's not ghosts specifically. I don't particularly have many special skills I can bring to this field other than common sense (which feels increasingly rare). But I do have the heart. My family was ripped apart when I was small due to fake mediums. My nan passed away when I was young and my grandad threw so much money at mediums trying to find her. I remember him telling me to never trust a medium because they're all liars. Then he married a nasty woman who wanted his money and I lost him too. I have no idea if he's still alive or not. Sometimes fake mediums can bring comfort to the grieving but sometimes they make everything worse and they destroy lives and families... And they don't care as long as they get paid. And that I have a big issue with, and if I can be a part of a growing sea of voices pointing this out, then I want to be a part of that

[@jerrodbalzer7317]

My original appeal to the Ghost Hunters show was something (I think) Jason Hawes said on an episode. Paraphrasing from memory, it was that investigators HAVE to approach everything with a skeptic's eye. This echoes what I've read of how Houdini and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle approached it. You must rule out every normal explanation of an occurrence before you can consider it para-normal. If you go in praising everything as a sign of ghosts, you will never have true evidence, only an ego trip.

There’s a huge part of us that wants it to be true, we wouldn’t be drawn to it if we didn’t.

[@Spaghettiallaparanormale]

debunking is a consequence of when someone start to question what they see, a genuine doubt about something that doesn't adds up... if something looks too good to be true, chances are... it's not true. People need to understand that the "evil" people are the ones who make the claims in order to take advantage of people's gullability for their personal gain. I do agree, as a skeptic I'd love to be proven wrong with some genuine evidence, I'd love to have my mouth shut once and for all... all that matter to me is the truth. Nothing more. You mentioned Uri Gheller, Polidoro recalls in his book "Geniale" about the mean comment that this conartist made on FB when Randi died...
