If their washer were obvious, why wouldn’t they have leveled it by now? The home inspector is probably right. It’s not loud enough to make them check the washer but loud enough to sound like something else.
So I have an actually real story about a ghost I saw and this happened way back in the early 2000s and I found a news story that actually kind of figured out who the ghost was sort of. So I was at a bowling alley near my house and I played this one arcade racing game and it was fun but I got called to eat pizza because food was ready. Now note this was when the place was owned by a non dumbass who allowed regular people to enter which would cost less but end up making the place more money and before all bowling alleys started requiring being on a league or in reality what its called is over priced gym membership which cost $100 a month. So I was going back to the arcade after eating and the game was playing by itself and it was a modified standing arcade with instead of having the buttons and a joy stick it had a steering wheel at top with a joy stick and 1 button being the horn and the steering wheel was the joy stick and foot peddles on the ground. The ghost beat every single race first place and beat the entire game. I found out on the video game chat site that existed at the time and turns out some crazy chick falsely thought her boy friend cheated on her in New Jersey and killed the guy while he was playing the exact same game with the same type of stand up modified arcade box set up. The name of the guy was never said and I forget the games name. The game in New Jersey was damaged from the gun shots. The ghost beat the game and then left. It was there for about 30 minutes and gone forever. Basically it found the closest exact copy of the game, beat it, and had no more regrets in life. The crazy woman who shot him turns out after shooting him tried running from him and ran right in front of a garbage truck or bus or some kind of city owned big vehicle and splat. She died on impact. No court trial and investigation was filed as she committed murder and died instantly. Dude basically had his murderer answer for her crime and beat the game and was done without any regrets.
Normally I hate hone inspectors bc most really aren't very knowledgeable on homes as much as you'd expect and I buy & sell homes for a living. However, this guy was really rational and the best "investigator" on the show.
@@unicornsuperfan the jump from sleep paralysis to aliens is the craziest thing I’ve ever heard, sounds like something a crackhead would tell you outside a gas station.
@@Onepurpleskittle She's like that weird family member at Thanksgiving. You mention you had a cold last week and they tell you it's because of the immigrants. Same logic
I legit just want this home inspector dude to be in every single paranormal / ghost hunting show, like, there's all this insanity going on and he just shows up like "OK, let me explain what's actually going on"
In the early days of Ghost Hunters, Jay and Grant used their -plumbing- roto-rootering experience to provide natural explanations for seemingly-supernatural occurrences. We definitely need more of that in ghost hunting shows.
@@turrboenvy4612yeah it also made the show mote believable, they would check plumbing and electrical wiring to see if a rational explination can be found for the strange noises and sensations that were claimed to be occuring, only after ruling out natural explinations would they move on to possible teal hauntings
The best part of this concept for a show is that people are like “we have ghosts” and the inspector is just like “nah you have cheap/old fixtures and your home is a bit crappy.”
I love how she says people who have been abducted by aliens can suffer from sleep paralysis. Not the belief that peoples "abductions" might in fact be their sleep paralysis, not aliens.
Yeah, I suffer with them and I will NEVER claim that it's aliens. If anything, I would say it's ghosts. Especially after the horrible ones I have experienced, but at the same time, I also don't chalk everything up to ghosts, if that makes sense. I think that sometimes it's ghosts, and that other times, it's just our brains. I do believe in ghosts, but I still like to find logic in things I experience. I don't like to automatically say, GHOSTS! But there's reasons why I believe mine are related to ghosts. Once I moved out of my supposedly haunted house, they became less frequent. I still get them, though they are nothing burgers compared to before.
I don't think so. My family has had problems with sleep paralysis. My mother suffers from it bad. Literally no one in my family thinks it's by aliens. I think people just have it.
Vivid dreams and sleep paralysis definitely definitely can play a huge part. Could see especially most people had no knowledge of what sleep paralysis was especially back in the day.
Did I read that right? That the candles started "flickering?" You know, that thing that candles do even in a completely calm and still environment? Really? Lmao!
This show sounds like a SNL sketch. (Scratching noises) Paranormal Investigator: "What's that? A poltergeist!?" Home Inspector (played by Kenan Thompson): "Uh, that's raccoons in your crawlspace."
Paranormal investigator: "I felt a sudden cold chill" Home inspector: "HVAC's fucked" Paranormal investigator: "There's a stair leading nowhere, the former owners wanted to confuse the spirits" Home inspector: "This report from '08 says their permit for a side expansion got rejected." Paranormal investigator: "The windows suddenly fogged up." Home inspector: "Again, HVAC's fucked. Air humidity is way up, probably got some mold too." Paranormal investigator: "Look, a dark summoning circle in the basement floorboards." Home inspector: "Ah, there's the mold. The ground water level in the area's pretty high this time of year. We should probably be wearing respirators honestly, that looks like black mold."
I love how Brian just came in, utterly destroyed any idea of there being anything supernatural going on, and then just fucking left like the GigaChad he is.
Reminds me of the OLD Ghost Hunters of SyFy. The cool thing about those dudes were they were plumbers by day and knew a lot about houses so theyd go in, do their investigation, and they try and debunk common phenomenon in the locations and try to find household reasons to why someone is experiencing something. It was real interesting It was always nice seeing shaken up families be put it ease by them going “yeah its your plumbing making that noise” or “you probably feel unwell in this room bc we found mold”
When in doubt they had high EMF and electrical issues. It sucked when Sci-Fi execs told them to dial that part back. The part that was useful wasn't good for ratings, kinda like people want to be scared. It's probably the same reason the inspector got dismissed in this show.
The thing is, as someone who does believe in ghosts (or something, at least), but who isn’t wilfully ignorant, the debunking is as important as, if not more important than, collecting ‘evidence’. It’s all well and good to get a floorboard creaking or a door slowly closing and go “OMG OMG GHOSTS CONFIRMED!” like you might get eyeballs on your show or whatever, but it’s not compelling in the least. I’ve had four experiences I’d tentatively call paranormal - a very clear voice speaking out of nowhere, gloves flying across a room, clearly audible footsteps running through a room I was in, and a whole-ass man dressed as an 1800s Welsh miner walking a pit pony (neither of whom made any sound as they walked, and who disappeared after about 20ft). All occasions had multiple witnesses, three took place in the daytime, all took place while we weren’t expecting any sort of activity, and it’s shit like that that I find interesting. “We got ourselves all worked up, stood in the dark for 40 minutes, heard some floorboards creaking and then Jenny said she felt someone poke her in the back, so obviously ghosts are real and we won’t be questioning it any further” isn’t interesting. “I woke up and couldn’t move and saw a man standing over me” is only interesting because I’ve also had sleep paralysis. “I was chatting to a friend in my kitchen when a glass launched itself into the opposite wall with no warning or provocation” is at least intriguing, you know?
@@RainWelsh I'm the same way! I believe in ghosts but I try to find logical reasonings behind each phenomenon. I have genuinely faced true paranormal things happening. Aside from some really bad sleep paralysis, which I don't believe every single one has a ghost attached but I do believe that there was a few that were caused by them. I also was in a haunted dorm room in college. It genuinely terrified me. I saw my roommate struggling to breathe as I was taking a nap. It was the weekend, she had been off for a while and just stayed in the dorm during that time. Well, when I was asleep, in my dream I heard tapping. Rapid tapping. I asked in my dream what that noise was. A voice came to me and told me to ignore it. It was demanding that I ignore it. No longer able to ignore it, I woke up seeing tears streaming down her face and her hand tapping the dresser she was using for a puzzle before laying down herself. I quickly got up not understanding what's going on and when I did, she took in this HUGE gulp of air like she was being choked. She told me that a voice entered her head and said that since she wouldn't end herself, that it was going to end herself. She saw this black and red face with these slit black eyes and a forked tongue. She drew a picture of it and what she had been seeing. It came down on her after saying that and that's when she was struggling to breathe. Then, another time, we were in this bathroom. It was VERY echoey so if anyone else came in there or was in there, we would have heard. it was a two stall bathroom and on the other side were 3 shower stalls. It was a small bathroom. Anyway, as we go to sit down, her in the handicapped and I in the normal one, the stalls began shaking violently when we got into. Like someone from the outside, violently shaking the stalls and hammering their fists into it. I can see where she was based on her feet, she was by the toilet and not by the doors where the force was coming from. To this day, I can't sleep without the light on. And I mean the overhead light, not even a nightlight. I would either go downstairs to the lobby and hang out until sun rise and then go back up for an hour of sleep OR if she wasn't there for the week/weekend, I would keep the overhead light on because I was just too scared. I saw the number 666 call her phone and heard weird noises. I wish I was making this up, and I know it may sound hard to believe, but I'm being genuine. Whether you believe me or not, it's up to you. At the end of the day, I know what I experienced and I know it wasn't anything I want to mess with again. And, this all happened after she played with an Ouija board and she ignored everything I told her to do. Though I feel like it is also my partially my fault as I was just talking about how what if only our room was haunted and no one believed us? I went to the bathroom after we talked about that and when I came back, she was white as a sheet. She didn't tell me why. But when the lights were out for the night, I noticed that her stuff made it look like there was a cowboy in our room. With a cowboy hat and boots. But the more I studied her things, the more I was questioning the shadow I was seeing. How was that even possible? It was just books and her dresser and desk. Nothing about that would have made a 6' tall man with spurs on his boots, arms crossed, looking down with a cowboy hat on. Only after I mentioned the cowboy did she told me that's what she saw. It was a black figure standing in the middle of our room and when I came back, it went under my bed. She filmed underneath and as I slowly moved my hand, a whole bunch of shadows were moving under my bed away from me. My mom is super religious, and while I'm agnostic, I still call on God for his protection whenever I'm freaked out, because I believe more so than I disbelieve. I was already sitting along the edge, I was going to peak underneath but she was recording and told me to stop moving my hand. As I did, that's when she captured the shadows moving away from me. I saw the footage and, believe me or not, the shadows were moving in a way that was obviously not me, if I'm not moving, how was it me? She wasn't moving either, she just had her phone pointed under my bed and just hit record. This is also why I will NEVER buy an Iphone. I would get really jumpy when I would hear the regular Iphone jingle for alerts/phone ringing.
Oh yeah I loved TAPS. I had a shirt and everything. I also like that one time, they genuinely tried their hardest to debunk it, early on in the show, but they couldn't figure out a lot of stuff. And they felt uneasy in the house, so they recommended both a mold inspection and connected them with a priest at the same time to purify the house.
I actually hired that guy to inspect my house when I bought it!!! He's a great, no-nonsense house inspector. But we definitely had to ask if our place might be haunted 😂
@@TaurusMoon-hu3pdI have two cats who like to chase each other at 3AM and I could hear the sounds of a circus with circus animals and would assume it was those two idiots 😂🙌🏻
I absolutely love cats. Can't afford to have one. But I take solace in the fact that having cats in the house, as someone who already has serious sleep problems, would probably eliminate the possibility of getting even one decent night of sleep for the next 15 years
I'm an electrician. If the hall light wasn't wired correctly, it either wouldn't work or would constantly trip the breaker. I do see, however, that the electrician put a Decora rockerswitch. Sometimes when you turn them off, they aren't always 'clicked' off, and 'could' turn itself back on through a spring-tension mechanism. If you turn those switches just far enough to disconnect the power source, without totally seating it to the off position, it could pop itself back on.
@@basedbane787 Expert electricians see loose wires causing lights to flicker and turn on and off - when manipulated. Loose wires don't move around by themselves. They need some kind of force to be able to move to flicker and turn lights on and off. If you've seen loose wires move themselves.... 🙄 Never mind. 🤦 Whatever dude...
@@basedbane787 I've seen houses shift and move slowly when the foundation settles. What country are you in, where the house shifts when people walk around??? I'm just curious. 'Most' houses here are on concrete foundations and the walls are anchored to the slab. 'Most' houses here in the US don't shift when people walk around. What country are you in?
Not having to pay anything but a bit of upkeep and yearly taxes, which is likely all way less than any kind of payments on a house... the walls could bleed and I'd still be good.
Psychologist here. Sleep paralysis often occurs alongside hypnogogic hallucinations. These are hallucinations people can experience as they’re falling asleep. The experience is typically so realistic that people can’t believe those events didn’t happen.
I'm grateful I'm able to recognize what's happening whenever I suffer an episode. It's still highly disturbing, but at least I can leave it behind once I finally wake up.
I’m always very, VERY glad I knew sleep paralysis was a thing before I started having it, because I can totally see how people would think they were infested with demons otherwise. Worst one I remember is I woke up, frozen but completely awake, and had just enough time to think “oh shit, sleep paralysis again” before I “heard” my bedroom door open. Then I “heard” something snarling like a damn wolf come in, “felt” it crawl on top of me, even “felt” hot breath and drool on my face and everything. I kept telling myself “it’s sleep paralysis, it’s going to break in a second and be fine, just give it a second” but in the moment it was really hard to stay logical, you know? Funny thing is I actually somewhat believe in ghosts, I’ve had what I’d consider paranormal experiences (weirdest one being the time my sister and I sat there and watched a pair of gloves get launched across her living room), and I’m quite open-minded in general, but if someone tries to tell me a story that starts with “I woke up in the middle of the night, frozen with fear!” I’m immediately like that’s sleep paralysis mate, you had sleep paralysis.
Well, while I'm not saying that ghosts are responsible, but for me personally, I get them really bad whenever I'm sleeping where it's supposedly haunted. I'm usually rather skeptical, I mean, I do believe in ghosts but I don't like to automatically think ghost. I'm a very logical person and try to seek out logical explanations. But I can't explain why I saw my mom and brother walking in my room while I had an episode. This was early in the morning and I'm wanting to call out to them as my little brother played a video game and yet I can't audibly say anything. I can't move. There's an evil presence that even my little brother, who was really young, was afraid of which is why he went to get my mom. I remember him saying that he was scared to be in there alone. I finally woke up after they were done and I go and ask them if they went into my room to play games and she told me yes. How would I know that? If what I'm seeing is all nothing but hallucinations, how can I see them do exactly what they did? It wasn't even something he did often, or ever. That was the first and only time that I'm aware of, that he did that. I'm a very light sleeper so the littles of noise would have woke me up. Let alone, entering my room and playing a video game. Maybe there is an explanation that I don't know about, but I don't think so. Not everything can be explained away logically and that's when I will start to question ghosts, while still looking for logical reason. Like, I'm still wanting a logical reason for that and saying it's a hallucination isn't cutting it. Now, if they went into my room often like that, then I would believe it could have been a hallucination.
As a sufferer of it, I concur with your statement. Ive usually been able to tell I was having an episode but it never made it any less terrifying. I’ve even had one where I thought I was being abducted by aliens because I had the very vivid sensation of being levitated off my bed and being worried my Roomate wouldn’t know where I was in the morning.
Sometimes you try out cohabitation and realise you prefer to live alone. Doesn't mean you have to end the relationship if both parties are fine living separately. I'm really more confused that you find that a difficult concept.
@@Jane-oz7pp If you can't stand to be around each other, then why date? Your logic is more confusing! I would NEVER date someone I couldn't live with. That's literally the end goal. Get in a relationship, get married, have kids if you want, and live HAPPILY TOGETHER EVER AFTER! Maybe you just don't have a relationship or maybe a very toxic one that being apart seems better. If that's the case, just break up. Again, why date someone you couldn't stand to be around in the first place? That makes ZERO sense! I wish people would actually THINK about what they say before saying it. It can really save people from looking like an idiot.
@@wintermoon7003 Preferring your own space to live in does not equal 'can't stand to be around each other'. Maybe you have really different schedules or habits, or just need more alone time. Nothing wrong with that if both parties are happy, it's healthier to find a solution that _works_ rather than try to conform to some silly societal expectation. I'd prefer to live together with a partner too, but not everyone's relationship needs to look like that.
How I picture this show goes: " I got a leaky pipe" "No your house is haunted" " No, I'm pretty sure it's a leaky pipe." "The ghosts are unhappy you moved the ficus to the other side of the room " "Look there is water coming in from under that wall" "GHOSTS!!"
You're half right. Memory is great for the first thing you see and the last thing. Not so much for the middle. He should've been the second one or not consulted at all. Just an aside or footnote thrown in the middle.
There was a big old realtor conspiracy with these shows. People would come on these shows to basically advertise the house and people who are into the paranormal would buy it for a slightly inflated cost.
I live in an old house, and sometimes the reading on the real temp for the thermostat will change simply from you standing next to the sensor for too long. I should call these guys; I hope they'll make the trek to Wisconsin...
"Mediums" are one of the worst people on earth. Imagine pretending you can do this shit and charging grief stricken parents or some shit. Actually evil.
Reports of sleep paralysis episodes could be related to alien abductions… or reports of alien abductions could be related to having sleep paralysis. Hmmmm…truly a chicken or the egg conundrum if in fact chickens laid eggs rather than eggs laying chickens, which would just be madness.
I like how the owner gave them like the bare minimum to work with after the investigation. He's like, "Yeah, I feel good in my house and my feelings and stuff."
This is basically the ghost show my wife and I always wanted to see with the exception that'd we'd put the inspector at the end to deflate all of the ghost nonsense.
Home inspections was literally how Ghost Hunters started out. The had a Roto Rooter business and most of the time diagnosed people with plumbing problems.
sleep paralysis is TERRIFYING and i'm so sorry to any sufferers. i've watched my best friend suffer from it for years to the point where i can hear him trying to call for help and wake him up while he's hallucinating.. that being said, this dramatic reenactment made me SNORT LMAO 8:24
He's lucky that he can get any noise out at all to try and get someone's attention. I can't when it happens to me, and being stuck while seeing terrifying things moving towards you while someone is literally a few inches from you, but you can do nothing to get their attention is so awful. It's worse when it's one of my kids sleeping near me, because I am way more terrified of not being able to save them from those terrible things than I am of them hurting me. Feeling like you're helpless to save your own child from danger when they are right next to you while you're forced to watch is among my worst nightmares (literally in this case as well). I hope your friend is able to get past it at some point, because I don't wish it on anyone. 😟 That reenactment was pretty funny though. There would be way more terror in his eyes, and his breathing would be much faster. He's just chilling in bed 😂
I've learned that the best thing you can do is accept what's happening, remind yourself it's not real (admittedly easier in my case since it's just audio hallucinations), and aim to fall back asleep rather than try to wake up. Still sucks, but so much less horrible than the alternatives.
I'm sorry but the "old light and new switch" thing makes literally no sense lmfao. I'm an electrician, that doesn't happen. If it's wired wrong, everybody knows.
Imagine if every once in awhile paranormal investigators said: “I don’t think your house is haunted”, just for the sake of looking somewhat skeptical and rational. It would actually give them the appearance of credibility. But they are so fixated on believing they have magic powers that their egos won’t allow them to scam people properly.
Nadine ALWAYS feels “sick” and “heavy” and “pressure in the chest” and “hard to breathe”, which is all pretty universal to any kind of death, wether it happened in the home or not.
I love the episode where the ghost people are freaking out and the home inspector goes to check if out. And it just ends up being raccoons ducking in the attic
Factor- meals that don't suck: - anything with a whole piece of meat (mostly chicken breast or pork chop) - the ones with actual rice - any of them that won't charge you an extra 20% for an Aldi mignon - never order the chili or anything with ground meat
You know, I get sleep paralysis when I sleep on my back. You know what that means don't you? The aliens are waiting around until I'm sleeping on my back to abduct me. Obviously.
My favourite part of these shows is when they bring in all their little gadgets and doodads that are (allegedly) designed to detect ghosts/spirit activity and then when those devices go off they're like "OMG why is it doing that"
I used to have a friend who was a "professional rieki healer." It got really akward when they were diagnosed with cancer because, "healing people" was like, your whole persona
That guy who zones out and it takes a while for him to come back isn't being possessed, he probably has a seizure disorder. They're called absent seizures, I get them all the time.
I think the home inspector going first is actually a smart move, cause going from reasonable observations and explanations to suddenly everything else feels like such a whiplash. It really helps highlight the sheer insanity on display, making it a fair bit more entertaining.
4:09 I actually did _not_ know about these cases. Now that I’ve fallen down a rabbit hole of “unknown people living in someone’s house” videos and stories I’m now sufficiently terrified. Thank you for sharing Chris please don’t do it again 🤗
There was that big one where a guy and his gf would argue who's eating the food and he set a camera up and a lady would crawl down from the attic and pee in the sink and get a drink
12:27 there's an even better clip of Sylvia Brown telling this woman that said they didn't know how she died and she automatically said that she was shot in the chest. The parents then looked at each other and were like no, she died from some sort of medical anomaly and we can't figure out what happened. That was my favorite one.
That "Psychic" @12:30 when she tried saying something that did not reflect the woman trying to get answers about her loved one that passed away on 9/11 and the "medium" on the talk show talking about see can feel the passed one drowning. WTF is wrong with people nowadays...??!
That's Sylvia browne, a well known fraud and overall piece of shit - she was found to be wrong in literally every prediction she ever made, and was hired for talk shows and detective assistance despite this AND despite her being convicted of literal fraud in 1992... Almost a decade before she got most of her TV fame.
She also told multiple parents their kidnapped kids were alive years later when they were found dead apparent hours after their abductions, and told others their kids were definitely dead when they were later found alive (including one after the grieving parent had died themself). The talk show and radio hosts are just as disgusting for having her on.
Stupidity pays lol. There are idiots out there that believe in that psychic crap and there are goobers that use that to their advantage to prey on said idiots.
I used to watch this show but had forgotten it, so when I saw Jenny Nicholson cover it several years ago, I was like “omg it *was* a real show!” It’s so gooood. One guy thought his place was haunted because his cell phone would drop in a certain spot. Yyyyeahhh.
Inspector: "just get a new thermostat" Home Owner: "cool" Investigators: "it's ghosts, aliens, demons, and you need to get over your trauma" Home Owner: "HOLY SH-"
I love that even the paranormal investigators basically told him to just stop thinking of ghosts and dead people, even if they say its because of "negative energy" or whatever we all know its because these are just normal old house issues that already got pointed out by the inspector.
A goofy unrelated but related fact is Jay and Grant from Ghost Hunters are both plumbers that worked together for Roto-Rooter. There were a lot of episodes in the beginning and throughout that began with them fixing a toilet or some sort of water problem so you'd get tips on what to do in your house and also ghost stuff.
I remember seeing this show a long time ago and I loved how the home inspector just casually debunks basically every "phenomena". Also, sleep paralysis is a thing and often includes hallucinations and a sense that an "entity" is present in the room. Depending on the person experiencing it, they can feel as if they are being haunted, abducted by aliens, or even having a sexual encounter with a disembodied spirit. There are hundreds of cases of this weird quirk in people's brains coming out of a deep REM sleep state. From what I understand, the brain is caught between the Beta and Theta states, causing a person to continue dreaming while partially conscious. The sensation of being immobilized stems from another brain function that occurs during sleep to prevent the body from thrashing all over the place while in REM sleep.
I remember a few years ago when I met my mate and we started meeting up, she told me she always blanks out and even her mum would be worried because she knew people were there but wasn't able to react. Her mum even said that sometimes she would make weird noises while doing it. There were other issues that she told me and I suggested her go to the doctor because I thought it could be a form of epilepsy with other symptoms she said to me but her and her mother thought it was ghosts. Anyway she is now diagnosed with epilepsy due to a head injury from a few years prior and is completely okay she just has mini seizures that look like she is day dreaming.
This is why I don't blame everything on ghosts. Yes, I believe in them, but unless I can't find a logical reason, I usually think of something logical first. Ghosts come last unless I'm just wanting a little horror fun and just make myself scared. I like being scared sometimes, ok?! Ha ha! XD
@@wintermoon7003 exactly think logically and have a cuppa, it's will be all fine and if it is a ghost least you have something/someone to chat shit to about your day cause they won't say shit they will just be happy to heat gossip
I love when people say things like “his theories are logic and I accept them.” What you meant to say is “his theories were true and correct.” Like no ghost just crappy house
I saw the thumbnail and immediately knew what show you were talking about, having just told a friend about my favorite Jenny Nicholson video last night! I love that you’re digging into a specific episode for a different take!
The home owner directly described sleep paralysis and the ex-roommate just described him likely sleepwalking. Nothing paranormal about either of these things.
Honestly a pretty good idea. A lot of the other shows are like "we are being chased by bigfoot! Ahhh run!" Some actual sceptic would be like, "we just spent 15 hours looking for a bigfoot and you're going to run away the minute you think you might be able to get it on camera?"
“I’m a healer and an empath! People always act really polite when they tell me I’m an insufferable dangerously superstitious narcissist but I can tell they have some bad vibes directed at me”
This whole trend started with a couple of plumbers would come in and try to at least debunk the faulty wiring and leaky pipes. Now, even on the show where we have a friggin' Home Inspector, they've still filled the rest of the cast with scam artist mediums.
My mom has been on 7 different paranormal investigator shows, my stepdad has been on 12. They are "ghosts experts" as they are accredited. My mom even has a full episode dedicated to her on Ghost adventures
Your ability to be so deadpan in your sarcastic deliveries is amazing. I can't help but start laughing nearly every time. I don't know if you edit your laughter out, but if you do actually stay deadpan, I'm very impressed! 😂
I like how the spiritual healer was actually pretty sane if you just pretend it's a psychiatric evaluation. "So... a beloved family member has died, and you think you're noticing strange occurrences and unsettling feelings when in an environment that reminds you of them? Yeah, that's stress caused by grief, you need to move forward and deal with those feelings in a healthy way and you'll probably be a lot less tense and on edge."
So stoked to see Chris uploading more, but I wont fall into that trap a fourth time 😆 Dude be coming and going like the wind...3 uoloads in two weeks, than 4 solid months of SILENCE 🙍
As an inspector myself I have always watched these shows and pointed out so many things that could be making various noises, EMF readings etc. nice to see a half rational person in one. I thought American ghost shows were nuts but Canada takes the cake
Lol I remember when this was on air. I mostly liked this because the inspector was always just like "Yeah the foundation is crooked. Next?" and always seemed a little confused as to why he was there XD I think the only funnier paranormal show to me was "the Dead Files" where 99% of the time the psychic lady says they need to burn the house down because it's so evil.
If I'm not mistaken that's actually a clip from one of his other video's where he makes fun of another ghost show and he filmed that at a "haunted" location that the show also visited.
I have sleep paralysis from time to time... Usually it happens if you wake up but are still, at the same time, in REM. This locks your body (you're unable to move or even scream.) It can even feel like you have something sitting on your chest. It's scary, even when you know what's happening.
14:31 the neighbor has an antenna tower in their back yard. How funny would it be if the neighbor had faulty ham radio gear and was just absolutely blasting this lady with RF energy out the wazoo? She feels compelled to go to the garage because her brain is getting torn up and acting as a directional reception antenna caused by something like shitty coax cable on the neighbor's antenna tower lmao
I live in a triplex. For a month or so, we kept hearing the ceiling pop and creak. My young son was scared o death. I had to see what was going on, I was imaging a "cheese guy"up there. I grabbed a flashlight, grabbbed the ladder, and went into the attic area. I was stuck immediately by the smell...of cat pee! My neighbors had 2 cats they weren't supposed to have. Our 3 houses were connected through the attic area with no barriers between them. The middle unit put a ramp into the attic/insulated area, to hide the cats. They lived up there. Going potty all over the insulation and drywall. Soooo gross. Not to mention we could crawl into the neighboring homes anytime. Just needed a ladder. We secured the attic hatch so ir must be unscrewed from inside.
I remember back when these ghost hunting shows were starting out they had a more skeptical approach to them. There were many episodes of shows where they were perfectly willing to admit when they couldn’t find anything or felt there were rational explanations. I think sponsors and producers have pushed the genre to be more and more ridiculous for the ratings.

If their washer were obvious, why wouldn’t they have leveled it by now? The home inspector is probably right. It’s not loud enough to make them check the washer but loud enough to sound like something else.
So I have an actually real story about a ghost I saw and this happened way back in the early 2000s and I found a news story that actually kind of figured out who the ghost was sort of. So I was at a bowling alley near my house and I played this one arcade racing game and it was fun but I got called to eat pizza because food was ready. Now note this was when the place was owned by a non dumbass who allowed regular people to enter which would cost less but end up making the place more money and before all bowling alleys started requiring being on a league or in reality what its called is over priced gym membership which cost $100 a month. So I was going back to the arcade after eating and the game was playing by itself and it was a modified standing arcade with instead of having the buttons and a joy stick it had a steering wheel at top with a joy stick and 1 button being the horn and the steering wheel was the joy stick and foot peddles on the ground. The ghost beat every single race first place and beat the entire game. I found out on the video game chat site that existed at the time and turns out some crazy chick falsely thought her boy friend cheated on her in New Jersey and killed the guy while he was playing the exact same game with the same type of stand up modified arcade box set up. The name of the guy was never said and I forget the games name. The game in New Jersey was damaged from the gun shots. The ghost beat the game and then left. It was there for about 30 minutes and gone forever. Basically it found the closest exact copy of the game, beat it, and had no more regrets in life. The crazy woman who shot him turns out after shooting him tried running from him and ran right in front of a garbage truck or bus or some kind of city owned big vehicle and splat. She died on impact. No court trial and investigation was filed as she committed murder and died instantly. Dude basically had his murderer answer for her crime and beat the game and was done without any regrets.

Hi
Hoping for Kid Nation.
I always feel relieved when I find out the noise in my house is a ghost and not something I have to pay to get repaired.
The ghost now counts as a roommate, they better help with rent.
😂
@😅simple__sigma3287
"what's that noise"
"Oh that's Foghorn the fierce. He moved in about a week... don't mention the missing head...he's sensitive about it."
Charge his ass rent ! I know he ain't about to live in my house for free
The home inspector is so so funny just because he’s the most calm and rational person and he makes everyone else look totally insane.
Because they are
Normally I hate hone inspectors bc most really aren't very knowledgeable on homes as much as you'd expect and I buy & sell homes for a living. However, this guy was really rational and the best "investigator" on the show.
Having him be all reasonable and then the psychic lady coming in with "Actually aliens .." Just sooooooo good
@@unicornsuperfan the jump from sleep paralysis to aliens is the craziest thing I’ve ever heard, sounds like something a crackhead would tell you outside a gas station.

😂 I'd totally watch a show of him just crashing other haunted investigation shows.
In the early days of Ghost Hunters, Jay and Grant used their -plumbing- roto-rootering experience to provide natural explanations for seemingly-supernatural occurrences. We definitely need more of that in ghost hunting shows.
He didn’t actually explain anything though, he made several assumptions without actually inspecting or testing any equipment or wiring.
@@MyLibertyTV unlike the ‘actual’ ghost hunters who don’t make any assumptions at all?
@@turrboenvy4612yeah it also made the show mote believable, they would check plumbing and electrical wiring to see if a rational explination can be found for the strange noises and sensations that were claimed to be occuring, only after ruling out natural explinations would they move on to possible teal hauntings
The best part of this concept for a show is that people are like “we have ghosts” and the inspector is just like “nah you have cheap/old fixtures and your home is a bit crappy.”
And then the medium is like 'No definitely ghosts. Most likely 3-4 of them'
"it's called character"
He's like, "Nope, just rats.."
I love how she says people who have been abducted by aliens can suffer from sleep paralysis. Not the belief that peoples "abductions" might in fact be their sleep paralysis, not aliens.
That was my first thought.
As a somnambulist (sleepwalker), I have just given up trying to educate people about what sleep paralysis is from a medical standpoint.
Yeah, I suffer with them and I will NEVER claim that it's aliens. If anything, I would say it's ghosts. Especially after the horrible ones I have experienced, but at the same time, I also don't chalk everything up to ghosts, if that makes sense. I think that sometimes it's ghosts, and that other times, it's just our brains. I do believe in ghosts, but I still like to find logic in things I experience. I don't like to automatically say, GHOSTS! But there's reasons why I believe mine are related to ghosts. Once I moved out of my supposedly haunted house, they became less frequent. I still get them, though they are nothing burgers compared to before.
I don't think so. My family has had problems with sleep paralysis. My mother suffers from it bad. Literally no one in my family thinks it's by aliens. I think people just have it.
Vivid dreams and sleep paralysis definitely definitely can play a huge part. Could see especially most people had no knowledge of what sleep paralysis was especially back in the day.
Nothing like a cat setting off a motion sensor, getting the crapped scared out of it, and the thud from them running into a wall.
You can even see its eyes shining when they go up to look for it lmao
I hope it's okay
“He’s in pain in different ways at different times”

Lmfao @@Moonhermit-
I love how Brian just came in, utterly destroyed any idea of there being anything supernatural going on, and then just fucking left like the GigaChad he is.
Reminds me of the OLD Ghost Hunters of SyFy. The cool thing about those dudes were they were plumbers by day and knew a lot about houses so theyd go in, do their investigation, and they try and debunk common phenomenon in the locations and try to find household reasons to why someone is experiencing something. It was real interesting
It was always nice seeing shaken up families be put it ease by them going “yeah its your plumbing making that noise” or “you probably feel unwell in this room bc we found mold”
When in doubt they had high EMF and electrical issues. It sucked when Sci-Fi execs told them to dial that part back. The part that was useful wasn't good for ratings, kinda like people want to be scared. It's probably the same reason the inspector got dismissed in this show.
The thing is, as someone who does believe in ghosts (or something, at least), but who isn’t wilfully ignorant, the debunking is as important as, if not more important than, collecting ‘evidence’.
It’s all well and good to get a floorboard creaking or a door slowly closing and go “OMG OMG GHOSTS CONFIRMED!” like you might get eyeballs on your show or whatever, but it’s not compelling in the least.
I’ve had four experiences I’d tentatively call paranormal - a very clear voice speaking out of nowhere, gloves flying across a room, clearly audible footsteps running through a room I was in, and a whole-ass man dressed as an 1800s Welsh miner walking a pit pony (neither of whom made any sound as they walked, and who disappeared after about 20ft).
All occasions had multiple witnesses, three took place in the daytime, all took place while we weren’t expecting any sort of activity, and it’s shit like that that I find interesting.
“We got ourselves all worked up, stood in the dark for 40 minutes, heard some floorboards creaking and then Jenny said she felt someone poke her in the back, so obviously ghosts are real and we won’t be questioning it any further” isn’t interesting. “I woke up and couldn’t move and saw a man standing over me” is only interesting because I’ve also had sleep paralysis. “I was chatting to a friend in my kitchen when a glass launched itself into the opposite wall with no warning or provocation” is at least intriguing, you know?
@@RainWelsh I'm the same way! I believe in ghosts but I try to find logical reasonings behind each phenomenon. I have genuinely faced true paranormal things happening. Aside from some really bad sleep paralysis, which I don't believe every single one has a ghost attached but I do believe that there was a few that were caused by them. I also was in a haunted dorm room in college. It genuinely terrified me. I saw my roommate struggling to breathe as I was taking a nap. It was the weekend, she had been off for a while and just stayed in the dorm during that time. Well, when I was asleep, in my dream I heard tapping. Rapid tapping. I asked in my dream what that noise was. A voice came to me and told me to ignore it. It was demanding that I ignore it. No longer able to ignore it, I woke up seeing tears streaming down her face and her hand tapping the dresser she was using for a puzzle before laying down herself. I quickly got up not understanding what's going on and when I did, she took in this HUGE gulp of air like she was being choked. She told me that a voice entered her head and said that since she wouldn't end herself, that it was going to end herself. She saw this black and red face with these slit black eyes and a forked tongue. She drew a picture of it and what she had been seeing. It came down on her after saying that and that's when she was struggling to breathe. Then, another time, we were in this bathroom. It was VERY echoey so if anyone else came in there or was in there, we would have heard. it was a two stall bathroom and on the other side were 3 shower stalls. It was a small bathroom. Anyway, as we go to sit down, her in the handicapped and I in the normal one, the stalls began shaking violently when we got into. Like someone from the outside, violently shaking the stalls and hammering their fists into it. I can see where she was based on her feet, she was by the toilet and not by the doors where the force was coming from. To this day, I can't sleep without the light on. And I mean the overhead light, not even a nightlight. I would either go downstairs to the lobby and hang out until sun rise and then go back up for an hour of sleep OR if she wasn't there for the week/weekend, I would keep the overhead light on because I was just too scared. I saw the number 666 call her phone and heard weird noises. I wish I was making this up, and I know it may sound hard to believe, but I'm being genuine. Whether you believe me or not, it's up to you. At the end of the day, I know what I experienced and I know it wasn't anything I want to mess with again. And, this all happened after she played with an Ouija board and she ignored everything I told her to do. Though I feel like it is also my partially my fault as I was just talking about how what if only our room was haunted and no one believed us? I went to the bathroom after we talked about that and when I came back, she was white as a sheet. She didn't tell me why. But when the lights were out for the night, I noticed that her stuff made it look like there was a cowboy in our room. With a cowboy hat and boots. But the more I studied her things, the more I was questioning the shadow I was seeing. How was that even possible? It was just books and her dresser and desk. Nothing about that would have made a 6' tall man with spurs on his boots, arms crossed, looking down with a cowboy hat on. Only after I mentioned the cowboy did she told me that's what she saw. It was a black figure standing in the middle of our room and when I came back, it went under my bed. She filmed underneath and as I slowly moved my hand, a whole bunch of shadows were moving under my bed away from me. My mom is super religious, and while I'm agnostic, I still call on God for his protection whenever I'm freaked out, because I believe more so than I disbelieve. I was already sitting along the edge, I was going to peak underneath but she was recording and told me to stop moving my hand. As I did, that's when she captured the shadows moving away from me. I saw the footage and, believe me or not, the shadows were moving in a way that was obviously not me, if I'm not moving, how was it me? She wasn't moving either, she just had her phone pointed under my bed and just hit record. This is also why I will NEVER buy an Iphone. I would get really jumpy when I would hear the regular Iphone jingle for alerts/phone ringing.
Oh yeah I loved TAPS. I had a shirt and everything. I also like that one time, they genuinely tried their hardest to debunk it, early on in the show, but they couldn't figure out a lot of stuff. And they felt uneasy in the house, so they recommended both a mold inspection and connected them with a priest at the same time to purify the house.
@@robsomethin4415'we think it might be mold, but you should still call a priest just in case' 😂
I actually hired that guy to inspect my house when I bought it!!! He's a great, no-nonsense house inspector. But we definitely had to ask if our place might be haunted 😂

I'm an electrician. If the hall light wasn't wired correctly, it either wouldn't work or would constantly trip the breaker. I do see, however, that the electrician put a Decora rockerswitch. Sometimes when you turn them off, they aren't always 'clicked' off, and 'could' turn itself back on through a spring-tension mechanism. If you turn those switches just far enough to disconnect the power source, without totally seating it to the off position, it could pop itself back on.
This is true, I have had it happen many times.
Expert electrician that's never seen a lose wire. It causes flickering and the light randomly turning on and off
@@basedbane787 Expert electricians see loose wires causing lights to flicker and turn on and off - when manipulated.
Loose wires don't move around by themselves. They need some kind of force to be able to move to flicker and turn lights on and off. If you've seen loose wires move themselves....

Psychologist here. Sleep paralysis often occurs alongside hypnogogic hallucinations. These are hallucinations people can experience as they’re falling asleep. The experience is typically so realistic that people can’t believe those events didn’t happen.
I'm grateful I'm able to recognize what's happening whenever I suffer an episode. It's still highly disturbing, but at least I can leave it behind once I finally wake up.
I’m always very, VERY glad I knew sleep paralysis was a thing before I started having it, because I can totally see how people would think they were infested with demons otherwise.
Worst one I remember is I woke up, frozen but completely awake, and had just enough time to think “oh shit, sleep paralysis again” before I “heard” my bedroom door open. Then I “heard” something snarling like a damn wolf come in, “felt” it crawl on top of me, even “felt” hot breath and drool on my face and everything. I kept telling myself “it’s sleep paralysis, it’s going to break in a second and be fine, just give it a second” but in the moment it was really hard to stay logical, you know?
Funny thing is I actually somewhat believe in ghosts, I’ve had what I’d consider paranormal experiences (weirdest one being the time my sister and I sat there and watched a pair of gloves get launched across her living room), and I’m quite open-minded in general, but if someone tries to tell me a story that starts with “I woke up in the middle of the night, frozen with fear!” I’m immediately like that’s sleep paralysis mate, you had sleep paralysis.
Well, while I'm not saying that ghosts are responsible, but for me personally, I get them really bad whenever I'm sleeping where it's supposedly haunted. I'm usually rather skeptical, I mean, I do believe in ghosts but I don't like to automatically think ghost. I'm a very logical person and try to seek out logical explanations. But I can't explain why I saw my mom and brother walking in my room while I had an episode. This was early in the morning and I'm wanting to call out to them as my little brother played a video game and yet I can't audibly say anything. I can't move. There's an evil presence that even my little brother, who was really young, was afraid of which is why he went to get my mom. I remember him saying that he was scared to be in there alone. I finally woke up after they were done and I go and ask them if they went into my room to play games and she told me yes. How would I know that? If what I'm seeing is all nothing but hallucinations, how can I see them do exactly what they did? It wasn't even something he did often, or ever. That was the first and only time that I'm aware of, that he did that. I'm a very light sleeper so the littles of noise would have woke me up. Let alone, entering my room and playing a video game. Maybe there is an explanation that I don't know about, but I don't think so. Not everything can be explained away logically and that's when I will start to question ghosts, while still looking for logical reason. Like, I'm still wanting a logical reason for that and saying it's a hallucination isn't cutting it. Now, if they went into my room often like that, then I would believe it could have been a hallucination.
Only one way to find out
As a sufferer of it, I concur with your statement. Ive usually been able to tell I was having an episode but it never made it any less terrifying. I’ve even had one where I thought I was being abducted by aliens because I had the very vivid sensation of being levitated off my bed and being worried my Roomate wouldn’t know where I was in the morning.
I thought "girlfriend and ex-roommate" was describing one person, and I'm very upset that I don't get to hear the explanation for how that works.
Hahaha me too! I thought, "Maybe she was so freaked out she had to move."
Sometimes you try out cohabitation and realise you prefer to live alone. Doesn't mean you have to end the relationship if both parties are fine living separately.
I'm really more confused that you find that a difficult concept.
@@Jane-oz7ppthat’s weird as fuck.
@@Jane-oz7pp If you can't stand to be around each other, then why date? Your logic is more confusing! I would NEVER date someone I couldn't live with. That's literally the end goal. Get in a relationship, get married, have kids if you want, and live HAPPILY TOGETHER EVER AFTER! Maybe you just don't have a relationship or maybe a very toxic one that being apart seems better. If that's the case, just break up. Again, why date someone you couldn't stand to be around in the first place? That makes ZERO sense! I wish people would actually THINK about what they say before saying it. It can really save people from looking like an idiot.
@@wintermoon7003 Preferring your own space to live in does not equal 'can't stand to be around each other'. Maybe you have really different schedules or habits, or just need more alone time. Nothing wrong with that if both parties are happy, it's healthier to find a solution that _works_ rather than try to conform to some silly societal expectation. I'd prefer to live together with a partner too, but not everyone's relationship needs to look like that.
How I picture this show goes:
" I got a leaky pipe"
"No your house is haunted"
" No, I'm pretty sure it's a leaky pipe."
"The ghosts are unhappy you moved the ficus to the other side of the room "
"Look there is water coming in from under that wall"
"GHOSTS!!"
“It isn’t water! This ghost doesn’t know where the bathroom is!”
“My voice is hoarse CLEARLY ITS GHOSTS”
I mean....that's pretty accurate actually
"You upset them, they're crying."
"clear your fucking throat"
I don't know why but I lost it 😂
having someone living in my attic or some crawl space without me knowing is very terrifying. especially if they're eating my cheese

Hi Sean, attic Sean here. We are out of cheese.
9:20 two cats that we know of? How many could there possibly be?
Mister President a third cat has hit the washer machine.
I wondered about that. Were they implying ghost cats were haunting the house?
I took it to mean that the inspector saw two cats in the house himself but hadn't asked the owner if there were anymore that he hadn't seen yet.
I’ve been to a house that they legitimately had 24 cats and 2 dogs
I read this at the exact time it played....
Aliens must have probed me...... That's the only logical explanation
There is an old saying, save what you want them to remember for last. That is why the inspector is first.
You're half right. Memory is great for the first thing you see and the last thing. Not so much for the middle. He should've been the second one or not consulted at all. Just an aside or footnote thrown in the middle.
My favorite part of this whole show is the host accessing the Canadian government's UFO files from a nearby public library.
There was a big old realtor conspiracy with these shows. People would come on these shows to basically advertise the house and people who are into the paranormal would buy it for a slightly inflated cost.
If the temperature changing on the thermostat is paranormal, then my house has a demon inside

Actually evil.
Reports of sleep paralysis episodes could be related to alien abductions… or reports of alien abductions could be related to having sleep paralysis. Hmmmm…truly a chicken or the egg conundrum if in fact chickens laid eggs rather than eggs laying chickens, which would just be madness.
Madness?…. This is SPARTA
I like how the owner gave them like the bare minimum to work with after the investigation. He's like, "Yeah, I feel good in my house and my feelings and stuff."
This is basically the ghost show my wife and I always wanted to see with the exception that'd we'd put the inspector at the end to deflate all of the ghost nonsense.
Absolutely the proper final edit for the type of program
That's why they put him first. So that people will hopefully forget some or all of what he said in favor of the supernatural nonsense after.
Seriously, someone needs to make another version of this show where the home inspector comes in last
Home inspections was literally how Ghost Hunters started out. The had a Roto Rooter business and most of the time diagnosed people with plumbing problems.
sleep paralysis is TERRIFYING and i'm so sorry to any sufferers. i've watched my best friend suffer from it for years to the point where i can hear him trying to call for help and wake him up while he's hallucinating..
that being said, this dramatic reenactment made me SNORT LMAO 8:24
He's lucky that he can get any noise out at all to try and get someone's attention. I can't when it happens to me, and being stuck while seeing terrifying things moving towards you while someone is literally a few inches from you, but you can do nothing to get their attention is so awful. It's worse when it's one of my kids sleeping near me, because I am way more terrified of not being able to save them from those terrible things than I am of them hurting me. Feeling like you're helpless to save your own child from danger when they are right next to you while you're forced to watch is among my worst nightmares (literally in this case as well). I hope your friend is able to get past it at some point, because I don't wish it on anyone. 😟
That reenactment was pretty funny though. There would be way more terror in his eyes, and his breathing would be much faster. He's just chilling in bed 😂
Why do you watch your friend sleep so often? 😂
I've learned that the best thing you can do is accept what's happening, remind yourself it's not real (admittedly easier in my case since it's just audio hallucinations), and aim to fall back asleep rather than try to wake up. Still sucks, but so much less horrible than the alternatives.
@@colleenriordan9734Also more twitching.
I'm sorry but the "old light and new switch" thing makes literally no sense lmfao. I'm an electrician, that doesn't happen. If it's wired wrong, everybody knows.
Imagine if every once in awhile paranormal investigators said: “I don’t think your house is haunted”, just for the sake of looking somewhat skeptical and rational. It would actually give them the appearance of credibility. But they are so fixated on believing they have magic powers that their egos won’t allow them to scam people properly.
Ghost Hunters did that early on, and then they started faking shit on the reg. Folks who do this stuff have no integrity.
Honestly as soon as there's a cat in a 'haunted' house I immediately decide it's the cat
Nadine ALWAYS feels “sick” and “heavy” and “pressure in the chest” and “hard to breathe”, which is all pretty universal to any kind of death, wether it happened in the home or not.

That cat is obviously possessed. It was spooked but wasn't hiding or doing an impression of a cotton ball. So un-catlike. Gives me chills.
Missed opportunity to have the show be called "Home in-spectres"

My favourite part of these shows is when they bring in all their little gadgets and doodads that are (allegedly) designed to detect ghosts/spirit activity and then when those devices go off they're like "OMG why is it doing that"
I used to have a friend who was a "professional rieki healer."
It got really akward when they were diagnosed with cancer because, "healing people" was like, your whole persona
That guy who zones out and it takes a while for him to come back isn't being possessed, he probably has a seizure disorder. They're called absent seizures, I get them all the time.
I think the home inspector going first is actually a smart move, cause going from reasonable observations and explanations to suddenly everything else feels like such a whiplash. It really helps highlight the sheer insanity on display, making it a fair bit more entertaining.
4:09 I actually did _not_ know about these cases. Now that I’ve fallen down a rabbit hole of “unknown people living in someone’s house” videos and stories I’m now sufficiently terrified. Thank you for sharing Chris please don’t do it again 🤗
There was that big one where a guy and his gf would argue who's eating the food and he set a camera up and a lady would crawl down from the attic and pee in the sink and get a drink
The energy healer went into that house to fight aliens with angels, this is perfect television
I used to believe but I work at a “haunted” asylum and I have seen nothing so until I do…
Honestly, I would love a show where it's JUST the home inspector. Like no ghost hunting, just a guy inspecting homes that people claim are haunted.
12:27 there's an even better clip of Sylvia Brown telling this woman that said they didn't know how she died and she automatically said that she was shot in the chest. The parents then looked at each other and were like no, she died from some sort of medical anomaly and we can't figure out what happened. That was my favorite one.
That "Psychic" @12:30 when she tried saying something that did not reflect the woman trying to get answers about her loved one that passed away on 9/11 and the "medium" on the talk show talking about see can feel the passed one drowning. WTF is wrong with people nowadays...??!
That's Sylvia browne, a well known fraud and overall piece of shit - she was found to be wrong in literally every prediction she ever made, and was hired for talk shows and detective assistance despite this AND despite her being convicted of literal fraud in 1992... Almost a decade before she got most of her TV fame.
She also told multiple parents their kidnapped kids were alive years later when they were found dead apparent hours after their abductions, and told others their kids were definitely dead when they were later found alive (including one after the grieving parent had died themself). The talk show and radio hosts are just as disgusting for having her on.
They take advantage of people at their lowest most vulnerable point and milk them for money and clout. It's pretty evil.
Stupidity pays lol. There are idiots out there that believe in that psychic crap and there are goobers that use that to their advantage to prey on said idiots.
I used to watch this show but had forgotten it, so when I saw Jenny Nicholson cover it several years ago, I was like “omg it *was* a real show!”
It’s so gooood. One guy thought his place was haunted because his cell phone would drop in a certain spot. Yyyyeahhh.
Inspector: "just get a new thermostat"
Home Owner: "cool"
Investigators: "it's ghosts, aliens, demons, and you need to get over your trauma"
Home Owner: "HOLY SH-"
I love that even the paranormal investigators basically told him to just stop thinking of ghosts and dead people, even if they say its because of "negative energy" or whatever we all know its because these are just normal old house issues that already got pointed out by the inspector.
A goofy unrelated but related fact is Jay and Grant from Ghost Hunters are both plumbers that worked together for Roto-Rooter. There were a lot of episodes in the beginning and throughout that began with them fixing a toilet or some sort of water problem so you'd get tips on what to do in your house and also ghost stuff.
I remember seeing this show a long time ago and I loved how the home inspector just casually debunks basically every "phenomena". Also, sleep paralysis is a thing and often includes hallucinations and a sense that an "entity" is present in the room. Depending on the person experiencing it, they can feel as if they are being haunted, abducted by aliens, or even having a sexual encounter with a disembodied spirit. There are hundreds of cases of this weird quirk in people's brains coming out of a deep REM sleep state. From what I understand, the brain is caught between the Beta and Theta states, causing a person to continue dreaming while partially conscious. The sensation of being immobilized stems from another brain function that occurs during sleep to prevent the body from thrashing all over the place while in REM sleep.
This is a straight-up full show of that Nathan for You psychic realtor bit lmao
He's Canadian, and I'm pretty sure this is a spinoff of a popular Canadian realty/renovation show, so he might have been inspired by it lol.
I remember a few years ago when I met my mate and we started meeting up, she told me she always blanks out and even her mum would be worried because she knew people were there but wasn't able to react. Her mum even said that sometimes she would make weird noises while doing it. There were other issues that she told me and I suggested her go to the doctor because I thought it could be a form of epilepsy with other symptoms she said to me but her and her mother thought it was ghosts. Anyway she is now diagnosed with epilepsy due to a head injury from a few years prior and is completely okay she just has mini seizures that look like she is day dreaming.
This is why I don't blame everything on ghosts. Yes, I believe in them, but unless I can't find a logical reason, I usually think of something logical first. Ghosts come last unless I'm just wanting a little horror fun and just make myself scared. I like being scared sometimes, ok?! Ha ha! XD
@@wintermoon7003 exactly think logically and have a cuppa, it's will be all fine and if it is a ghost least you have something/someone to chat shit to about your day cause they won't say shit they will just be happy to heat gossip
I love when people say things like “his theories are logic and I accept them.” What you meant to say is “his theories were true and correct.” Like no ghost just crappy house
I saw the thumbnail and immediately knew what show you were talking about, having just told a friend about my favorite Jenny Nicholson video last night! I love that you’re digging into a specific episode for a different take!
4:28 It later came out that Alex was a heavy benadryl user and was in fact just high on allergy medicine the entire time this was happening
The home owner directly described sleep paralysis and the ex-roommate just described him likely sleepwalking. Nothing paranormal about either of these things.
I love that at 16:25 we can literally see one of the cats in the bottom right
I love the juxtaposition between
“Yeah you probably just have an improperly wired bulb”
And
“YOU BEEN PROBED”
I'd be down for more haunted house shows... like "Murder House Flip!"
Which sounds like a show from the early 2000s, but is somehow from 2020-2022 😅
Honestly a pretty good idea. A lot of the other shows are like "we are being chased by bigfoot! Ahhh run!"
Some actual sceptic would be like, "we just spent 15 hours looking for a bigfoot and you're going to run away the minute you think you might be able to get it on camera?"
Jenny Nicholson did a video on this show, I've been obsessed with it ever since
Same, only I tend to skip much of the second half. Brian’s inspection is the highlight for me. Jenny definitely introduced us to a great character.
“I’m a healer and an empath! People always act really polite when they tell me I’m an insufferable dangerously superstitious narcissist but I can tell they have some bad vibes directed at me”
Dont let them russle your chakras
New age is evil
No you're not.
thank you james for filling this huge gaping hole
This whole trend started with a couple of plumbers would come in and try to at least debunk the faulty wiring and leaky pipes. Now, even on the show where we have a friggin' Home Inspector, they've still filled the rest of the cast with scam artist mediums.
Lmao at "I'm feeling anxious anxiety"
My mom has been on 7 different paranormal investigator shows, my stepdad has been on 12. They are "ghosts experts" as they are accredited. My mom even has a full episode dedicated to her on Ghost adventures
Accredited by whom? What college or university has a degree in pseudoscience?
@@Cheezitnator none. Those credits mean nothing ha
8:52 People think they see aliens BECAUSE of sleep paralysis.
"So the inspector thinks it just old house stuff... But we're pretty sure it's aliens." (cue multiple sound effects) Best show.
Episodes of sleep paralysis and catatonia sounds more like a medical condition than an abduction, but what do I know? I'm not a paranormal doctor.
Your ability to be so deadpan in your sarcastic deliveries is amazing. I can't help but start laughing nearly every time.
I don't know if you edit your laughter out, but if you do actually stay deadpan, I'm very impressed! 😂
That sound effect and your gasping face at 3:16 killed me
I like how the spiritual healer was actually pretty sane if you just pretend it's a psychiatric evaluation. "So... a beloved family member has died, and you think you're noticing strange occurrences and unsettling feelings when in an environment that reminds you of them? Yeah, that's stress caused by grief, you need to move forward and deal with those feelings in a healthy way and you'll probably be a lot less tense and on edge."
So stoked to see Chris uploading more, but I wont fall into that trap a fourth time 😆 Dude be coming and going like the wind...3 uoloads in two weeks, than 4 solid months of SILENCE 🙍
Rather less content done flawlessly then a boatload of half a** content
So their conclusion was, he’s got aliens, but the grief of his mom is also causing this; but also it’s the thermostat and the draft.
As an inspector myself I have always watched these shows and pointed out so many things that could be making various noises, EMF readings etc. nice to see a half rational person in one. I thought American ghost shows were nuts but Canada takes the cake
Lol I remember when this was on air. I mostly liked this because the inspector was always just like "Yeah the foundation is crooked. Next?" and always seemed a little confused as to why he was there XD I think the only funnier paranormal show to me was "the Dead Files" where 99% of the time the psychic lady says they need to burn the house down because it's so evil.
That bit where you're in the flannel closing the window making fun of the cold broom stuff gave me a good belly laugh. Thank you I needed that
If I'm not mistaken that's actually a clip from one of his other video's where he makes fun of another ghost show and he filmed that at a "haunted" location that the show also visited.
0:55 Isn't that called.. "empathy"?
0:40 “and if you don’t know what that is, it’s a lair” lol
I have sleep paralysis from time to time... Usually it happens if you wake up but are still, at the same time, in REM. This locks your body (you're unable to move or even scream.) It can even feel like you have something sitting on your chest. It's scary, even when you know what's happening.
The steak in the ready meal is the spookiest thing in the episode. Looks like it crawled out of a George A. Romero flick
Wow, I just found out about this show from Jenny Nicholson, today! And now you're covering it? This is so cool! Can't wait for your input. ☺
14:31 the neighbor has an antenna tower in their back yard. How funny would it be if the neighbor had faulty ham radio gear and was just absolutely blasting this lady with RF energy out the wazoo? She feels compelled to go to the garage because her brain is getting torn up and acting as a directional reception antenna caused by something like shitty coax cable on the neighbor's antenna tower lmao
Lol you're assuming she's actually able to pick up anything and not just a fraud
I hope Manny found a new place where he can go grab some oysters at 2 am without running into possessed people.
4:12 PLEASE do a video on the 2022 tv series “Phrogging”!!! It’s mind boggling - true stories from people this exact nightmare happened to!!!
I live in a triplex. For a month or so, we kept hearing the ceiling pop and creak. My young son was scared o death. I had to see what was going on, I was imaging a "cheese guy"up there. I grabbed a flashlight, grabbbed the ladder, and went into the attic area. I was stuck immediately by the smell...of cat pee! My neighbors had 2 cats they weren't supposed to have. Our 3 houses were connected through the attic area with no barriers between them. The middle unit put a ramp into the attic/insulated area, to hide the cats. They lived up there. Going potty all over the insulation and drywall. Soooo gross. Not to mention we could crawl into the neighboring homes anytime. Just needed a ladder. We secured the attic hatch so ir must be unscrewed from inside.
Wow that is very scary to hear. Sometimes reality is more scary than just a ghost or aliens.
Love when you watch ghosty stuffs. Pleaaase do more!!
I remember back when these ghost hunting shows were starting out they had a more skeptical approach to them. There were many episodes of shows where they were perfectly willing to admit when they couldn’t find anything or felt there were rational explanations. I think sponsors and producers have pushed the genre to be more and more ridiculous for the ratings.
Wow, new video already?? Dope!
