I met Dan Akroyd briefly at a DVD signing/talk 10 years ago and he's a really nice guy and it was fascinating to see he was pretty much playing himself when he was Ray Stantz. It's rare to find someone who played a fictional character who truly believes what is portrayed,that's so cool it's like finding out Harrison Ford is really an archeologist......kind of,I couldn't think of a better analogy :p
Aspbergers.people with this operate on a different level they know things That reg. people don't and see things other people don't see. Dan AKROYD Has asbergers .i believe him.
@@sarahleach9997 I have Asperger's, too. I agree that autism spectrum disorders can have a very positive impact on a person. You don't need to be on the spectrum to interact with ghosts, though (to be clear, I've had several interactions with ghosts so I may not be the best person to speak on the matter lol).
Dan really is "The Heart Of The Ghostbusters". It would be amazing to meet him. He's a genius and I love how passionate he is about the field of unexplained phenomena. His passion and love of this field definitely come across in both movies.
@@jondunmore4268 I find him very sharp and intelligent though. He knows that it's a controversial topic but can't help believing in it, maybe out of plain curiosity.
This book is out of print extremley rare & only available on Kindle. Well worth reading especially Dan Ackroyd's father the author on his adolesent recollections of growing up in an enviroment which embraced parapsychology & mediumship which whist ever popular will always be reveiled by the world at large & the great unwashed. This book is about the history of spiritualism & examines mind expansive esoteric therory & unknown uncharted territory.
Whist? Reveiled or “ reviled”? Inappropriate use of vocabulary. This indicates to me your educational and intellectual level. “ Uncharted territory “. Another inappropriate use of vocabulary. It’s another dimension. I wouldn’t say it was “ uncharted” considering the Egyptian Book of the Dead.
so surprised and yet now I feel a close connection with him, my family had the same take on ghosts, we were just brought up that way. we talked to them and read cards. Got to find that book of Mr Peter Aykroyd, my grandson can't get enough of Ghost Busters
Dan akroyd is my idol one of the best actors of all time. and I love his believes which I believe in the same of "UFOs and ghost" Ackroyd is an incredible man.✌✌👽👽👽👽👽
I may not believe in what they believe, I nevertheless can't resist these two very likeable gentlemen. I also think it's very sweet that Dan can still do this together with his father.

Check out our interview with Dan Aykroyd on Larry King Now. He talks about the new SNL, UFOs, and his latest movie with Matt Damon and Michael Douglas.
I love Dan Aykroyd!!! He's my childhood hero, his "Ghostbusters 2" is my personal favourite movie but i love most of Aykroyd's work. He's such an interesting man
wow. great to see & hear Dan's father. I spoke with a construction engineer once who told me he saw a ghost while inspecting an old antique building for the city. He said it was in a hallway.
In 2007, I moved from a very old home in Boston, MA to a brand new townhome in the suburb of Bridgewater, MA about a 40 minute drive away. Approximately three years in, strange things started to happen, which led me to believe eventually that my new house was haunted. I did not know at the time that the town of Bridgewater, as well as its surrounding towns, is known for having paranormal experiences. The area is apparently known as "The Bridgewater Triangle." A friend staying with me experienced some of these things as well. Strangely, they, the spirits if you will, were gone; and fortunately things got back to normal, and I am no longer afraid to be in my own place alone. I don't tell many people, because some can't be convinced of course.
As soon as you said Bridgewater I thought oh shit,where's this going? What kind of things happened did you see anything? The scariest part of that is that it was 3 years before you noticed anything,it makes me think a lot more places might be haunted than I thought and I just didn't stick around long enough. Every time you hear a haunted house story things start getting weird in the first few days,it's scarier to think that maybe they wait and vet the people they wanna fuck with which I'm pretty sure is the technical term...;)
I lived in Bridgewater for 5 years and now live in the neighboring town of Halifax. I kept hoping for something paranormal to happen. Never did. My house in Halifax was built in 1768. Maybe something paranormal will happen there.
I had strange experiences five years ago moving into my new apartment that lasted about six months then mostly subsided but not entirely. I live on the opposite world from Boston. It does no good to tell people because they think you’re crazy. Also things happened when other people were visiting so not exactly my imagination.
I saw a ghost standing right next to me, in broad daylight, while talking to a friend. I looked back to my friend to ask if he had seen him? He did not.
18m0s "I approach all of this through the thick filter of an entertainer." So do I, Dan! Absolutely, I find it all entertaining, and that DOES not make it false.
The Ghostbusters saga has delighted me from the age of three. The subject matter is awe-inspiring. "A History of Ghosts" is a fascinating read. I think some people are genetically predisposed to more clearly sense, or perhaps even attract, indication of beings from dimensions generally beyond human perception. In the house in which I grew up, my mother would, from the stairs, hear the unaccountable voice of a young boy. One night, my older brother awoke, and was terrified to see the night light, several feet above his bed, to have been switched on. One afternoon, my mother and younger brother heard the front door, followed by the sound of someone running upstairs; only to find the house empty. Aged seventeen, I began to see, in certain genetically unrelated media faces, certain similarities - not just arbitrary comparison of features, but a likeness, unnoticed before, which drew me to to irresistibly close recognition. I realise this may sound like self-deluding fantasy, but I believe such people - and perhaps everyone, to some extent - are related independently of hereditary lineage. If ghosts inhabit a dimension beyond the reach of physical matter, might then, to some extent, the human body? Anyway, I call this phenomenon Transgenic Kinship.
We live in an infinite environment. The human body weighs less after a person has died. That is why the proper term; “passed away” or “passed on” is a correct depiction of what happened to a person. The essence of who you are may be referred to as your soul or your personality carries on in a different capacity. I believe that is why people around the world have experienced unique situations that seem to be commonly categorized as “crazy.” The internet has excelled this subject and displayed countless videos of phenomenal demonstrations!!!
@@susangrimes2729 I like to think that human senses will advance to sense more of our universe and each other: might a casual glance one day glean not just appearance and accent, but genetic, social and emotional history? Perhaps we'll even learn to refine such spiritual turbulence as genders war. Not wishing to sound pushy, but I've written more about transgenic kinship in my book "Andy's Nature: Asperger's, Obesity and the Supernatural."
I believe Dan has Asperger's indeed, based on how he speaks in the interview here and in other interviews recorded online. I did not know he is a Christian. Cool! Nothing negative or bad about that. It's great that he can be a public speaker and represent others who have had to embrace that about themselves. ;)
Dan has openly admitted that he has the condition. I'm not sure about his dad though. He seems a lot more engaged and upbeat...whereas Dan is displaying more typical behaviour associated with ASD sufferers. Eyes glued to the table, fast speech...nonetheless he's a fascinating and highly intelligent man with an array of talents that I think completely overshadow and overcompensate for it.
Cynthia Hutchinson people w As are fascinating. I specialized in it for years and found people w it to be extremely creative and very intuitive. I would love to listen to him speak.
All of this family legacy in paranormal seems like great true to life back story material that they may have incorporated into Egon's family story in the new Ghostbusters sequel. Fascinating stuff.
While parapsychology is not recognized by mainstream science it works scientifically to explain phenomenon. It also addresses the psychological and neurological aspects of it. Maybe it's as simple as some people are wired a bit differently which makes them natural conduits for ESP phenomenon. I believe there has been authentic communication but with whom or what is up for debate.
wow,this just goes to show how real the after life really is,and that were all starting to be able to see for ourselves,i love this,thank you dan and dad,you guys rock
This is great..i literally just posted a short video because after watching it we saw what looked like orbs come right out of me. IT WAS SOOOOO COOOL .....😂. I just feels cool that an entity or spirit was like heyyyy im with you. Its on my channel..btw i saw an ufo with my grandmom in west virginia when i was around age 8. Im now 39. I believe it all. Just because ive seen it ! Thank you😊🌸
10:40 ghosts can exist as "energy cannot be created nor destroyed - _einstein_* some that take ghost hunting seriously are using EMF devices to look for ghosts on youtube (some are fake) but i think some actually trying 21:05 and thats the EMF devices we have today (electronic magnetic frequency devices)
I can see Dan sitting there thinking, "you called me on this show to talk about a 20 year old movie I did? I thought we were going to really discuss the paranormal."
I wonder if Dan has ever listened to the EVPs presented on the late Art Bell's radio show (featuring the GIS members Barbara MacBeath and Brandon). If YOU haven't heard it yet.....many of the old shows are on youtube.
I grew up around some of this stuff, having a grandmother who was a self-professed spiritualist medium who held seances in our basement. I never really believed or disbelieved, just observed from childhood onward. She never let up with it, was "on" all the time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, always seeing "spirits" and relaying messages, so either she was stupid, crazy, naive or simply believed (a classic "shut-eye"... which was literal in her case, since she had only one eye, having lost one to a sewing needle as a young girl). In the end, nothing she ever said or did convinced me either way. It was just weird, people are weird and they think and believe a lot of weird stuff.
Two of the best books I have read is "Ghosts True Encounters with the World Beyond" by Hans Holzer and "Real Ghosts, Restless Spirits and Haunted Places" by Brad Steiger. A must read for scientific evidence and historic facts on this subjectl
Dan is such a good son. Never had any experiences with ghosts myself exactly, but I've had enough supernatural or spiritual experiences outside of that to be open to other people's stories about them. And Dan's right; either way, they are entertaining!
I don't know if anyone or Dan will get this but a story I had when I was very young my sister passed away with a brain tour a few weeks from then I see my sister coming towards me on the side of my bed and I was so afraid and she had tried to talk to me through my head and I covered myself up with the blankets as I can feel her sitting at the foot of my bed and I must have passed out 50 years later my brother and I were talking about UFOs and strange things and he told me 50 years ago he saw my sister our sister and he thought I was sleeping and she came up along my bed and then sat on my bed and I thought he was sleeping and to find out we both seen the exact same thing but didn't tell each other until 50 years later true story I'll never forget it the rest of my life
My mother came to me in a dream and told me my gallblader was gonna go bad it had never hurt me before but sure enough the next morning after the encounter it hurt like hell. I still remember the whole experience clear as day but i dont really feel like going into full detail as its kind of personal and long.
Hay Dan my name is Dan,, my great great was Daniel Douglas Home,, what a coincidence,, my family was doing medium-ship to. A lot of people investigated my gg grandfather and no one ever found any sign's of fraud, in fact some of the most reputable science skeptics of the day where converted after seeing a table float up in the room. People had even seen Daniel home float up in a room.
Good question. Father, son, Holy Spirit. The Mass is a ritual complete with the same props, incantations etc... Praying is casting a spell, for all intents and purposes.

What an interesting couple. I would like to sit at their dinner table.
I thought you were dead?
They're father and son. Strange to use the word "couple."
I wonder if Dan has ever listened to the EVPs presented on the late Art Bell's radio show (featuring the GIS members Barbara MacBeath and Brandon). If YOU haven't heard it yet.....many of the old shows are on youtube.
I wonder if Dan based the appearance of the Judge from 'Nothing But Trouble' on his father.
Thomas Edson tried to make a machine to detect EVP's.
Dan AcKroyd is certain that the Easter Bunny exists and is writing a screenplay about it
He actually became Ray. Awesome.

where did Dan get the idea of Gozer?

Trying to convince Gian Ghomeschi of Ghost's is like trying to convince a Dog about Balloons.
What book is Dan holding?
like to catch Aykroyd wherever i can but this one's difficult as i have to endure the host
What is the book they have front of them?
"The History Of Ghost!" 🙄
I'm confused, I thought they were brothers? not father and son?
I Love this Video !!! 👍🏻🚫👻👍🏻

would an ectoplasmic entity even have dna?

He's a Christian that's into the occult????
Good question. Father, son, Holy Spirit. The Mass is a ritual complete with the same props, incantations etc... Praying is casting a spell, for all intents and purposes.
Not occult....
Yeah I caught that too. Didn’t know he was Christian.
@@dravenarcane2735 I just learned that supernatural things are miracles whether righteous or evil I didn't know that before
on my channel since this one will not let me post my link is my experience i had it is titled " my experience after Debbie passed"
Extraordinary
Dan looks just like his dad albeit with more hair on top of his head and less grey.
wait this is his dad??? Strong accent. 'aboot'. He actually also sounds Irish. Also a fair bit like Norm Macdonald.
Billy Bob Thorton called and said "I don't know what you're talking about."
