Send us debrief q's in the comments!
Why hello
For the Debrief, would y'all ever consider doing a control experiment with your equipment. Just so we can compare the tools to how they act in "haunted" places, versus locations with no reported paranormal activity.
For Debrief: could the reason the sls cam didn't pick up the shadow man was because you were calling him the shadow man which he hates?
Will you guys investigate Mount Wilson Ranch? Ghost Adventures went but only focused on alien activity. I’m the owner and sent you guys an email a few months ago!! Sam and Colby were supposed to come but due to health issues couldn’t make it out.
i haven’t even seen the ep yet, but wouldn’t a tricked out escape room be uniquely capable of fooling y’all and its guests with illusions? like they surely would want to be viewed as haunted.
Shane is totally right. If you run an escape room, you definitely have a vested interest in the place being “haunted”. It brings all the evidence into question for sure
especially now that we know that one of the rooms leads to the hill where there r sightings
Also weird how Shane apparently knew about routes and rooms that Ryan didn't - which is how Shane eventually ended up crouched in that space below the woman in the coffin. Shane could only have gotten that info from the escape room staff.
@@Karin_Allen not necessarily. We didn’t see everything. He could’ve been looking around the escape rooms
You could say exactly the same thing about pretty much every location they've ever been to.
Yep, worst episode ever made. Cant trust a thing. Tem place being all monitored ruins the walkie placement. It os like their worst work ever.
We need a blind study in which half the locations are rumoured to be haunted and half aren’t, but the ghoul bois aren’t told which ones are which. We should also tell them that some of the “clean” ones are haunted and some of the haunted ones are “clean” to see if it influences the results through confirmation bias. If you know somewhere is haunted for example, your brain may make connections between random words in the ovilus or creaks heard in the building. Shane would love it
Scientific methods for ghost hunting lol that would be funny.
Shane in haunted place: it's clean
Ryan in clean places : it's haunted
Dropping them off somewhere, no prior research. Just let them walk in blind and get after it, feel it out.
Nah. If you really want to eliminate bias, you tell them a place is haunted and nothing more. Let us the audience know the hot spots but not the boys. And let them just walk around and figure IF there are hot spots. If they get the same results as what we know to be hot spots then there is some circumstantial evidece.
Shane would love it but Ryan would pull out the "ghosts are everywhere" argument.
I'm not a shaniac by any means, but I agree with Shane on this. I was immediately skeptical when it was a "haunted" escape room. Way to attract more people to your area...
Same can be said about most of the places they visited. The only exceptions I can think of at the top of my head is the goatman bridge (bc it's free) and that one girls apartment 😅 All of the other places would benefit from the exposure.
@@applecrumpetsSalley house is creepy as shit too lol
They're basically all this place... tourist traps based on a little history, a little conspiracy, a little theater, and a whole lot of mouth to mouth marketing.
Same thing with UFO tourist traps. It's a gimmick.
And this is coming from someone who _wants_ to believe. Buuuut... ehhh? Not much solid stuff to go on. And these guys go to all the same places all the "big timers" go to... yet nothing reall6 evident time after time. Not to mention the "gadgets" being so much sillier in their hands.
they even choke people
especially since the owners asked them to investigate
You can tell how haunted a place could potentially be by how chill Ryan is on his solo. This place ain’t even garnished with ghosts. Unseasoned skinless chicken breast made by a middle age diet influencer is more haunted than this location.
I’m HOWLING
If they ever make a scale of how haunted a place is I hope "garnished with ghosts" is on there a few steps above zero.
I'M GALLOPING HELP????😭😭
@@Nero_Coniglioa sprinkling of apparitions. A dash of ghoul. A minuscule amount of foggy mist
Oddly specific but I agree.
Personally, I just find it amazing that the chemistry between Shane and Ryan can even carry an episode as dead as this. Proof that our boys don't need to fist fight ghosts or hear funny sounds to be entertaining.
This isn't the first time that they visited a location with little to no activity. The essence of this show and Unsolved Supernatural has always been about the skeptic and the believer, not the locations.
so backhanded oof
I do think episodes where there is little to no evidence or mild activity does stand out in itself. Why do some places have so much activity compared to others. In a sense the lack of evidence just solidifies that some places do have something strange going on.
people actually watch these for ghost evidence? 💀 it's been f knows how many years, there is none. i watch these cuz its shane and ryan, i didn't even notice there was little activity until i read the comments
I honestly think the ones with little to no convincing evidence lend credibility to them as ghost hunters too. Soooo many ghost hunting shows and youtubers would rather fake stuff or edit in a way to make it look more exciting than it really is, but Shane and Ryan don't have to rely on that crap. They've got true integrity and chemistry that makes their shows so good.
You can tell even Ryan has doubts about this place with how nonchalant he is this episode
He's been like that a few seasons, sadly.
@@paulstrife i think that's more the fact that he's getting more used to doing this, and there's nothing wrong with that! But seeing them investigate a place that feels too much like a commercial kinda brings down the whole purpose of these investigations, hence why he's not even remotely scared in this place as opposed to their prior investigation
They were probably paid by the escape room to do it so he knows it’s bullshit
Yeah, I feel like Ryan wouldn't have been super relaxed about sitting on the stairs in the attic, if he really thought the place was haunted. Which, ya know, is fair.
@@andremendez_I agree with you when it comes to being a little less noticeably scared because he’s a little used to it. However, even with last week, he was still noticeably scared, even though it isn’t AS noticeable. This episode, however, he’s clearly not scared.
Okay, the spirit box session when Ryan said, “Shane. It’s us.” Totally sounds like Shane’s demon buddies trying to say hey.😂
YES AGREED I don't actually know if they did new www recently but I really miss it actually I'm checking after this video
At this point the Ovulus is like a third character on this show
The sass of the "wow" I love
Well, the person in the escape room's marketing team who suggested this is certainly getting a raise...
this is a modern scoobie doo scheme
Ryan’s making it his objective to rip ass in every haunted location in America.
😆 why you gotta say it like that
@@ghastlyderp2637is he wrong?
@@ghastlyderp2637expel air out the bottom
Ass hunters!
😂
okay i have an amazing idea. Shane picks a place (haunted or not), does his research, doesnt tell Ryan anything about it (to help get rid of confirmation bias) and then they visit the place and Ryan feels it out and says if it's haunted or not, they do everything else as usual, and during spirit box sessions if words are brought up that match the story of the place Shane can admit it!
Ooh that’s a good one!
oooh that would be so fun! I feel like Shane would be great at making shit up for the places that don't actually have ghost lore attached to them
I love this
I’ve always wanted them to just use their equipment like on the watcher set. Or just in a field outside. But Ryan could still argue that there could be ghosts anywhere. DO IT IN THE CAR! drive around and do an estes method session.
This is a great idea!
The fact that Ryan has been so chill in his first two solo investigations this season leads me to believe he's gonna pass out on camera in the finale
Going into this one I’m immediately very skeptical. It feels like a gimmick by the business owners to lure people in.
Yeah. Especially the footage of the room with the monkey. It would obviously be super profitable for these people to be on this show and it seemed like a little too much u know.
Especially as it is one of the few truly open to the public
Agreed how the mighty have fallen this was the worst episode I’ve seen just stupid..
It is
@@WhattheVloggity i disagree. obviously the company just made up the whole thing for money but the episode was funny asf
i so want shane to start bringing his own "ghost" hunting tools like detectors for gas leaks and stuff like that
Like that show “Paranormal Home Inspectors”. I bet it’s Shane’s favourite show
wait yes XD XD that would actually be such a good addition
@@jodipearson567 That's my favorite show I've ever stumbled across and it's CRIMINAL it was so short run.
@jodipearson567 never knew this show existed. Sounds amazing!!
he should dress up as a ghostbuster and bring a tool box too.
Shane looks like a camp counselor in a slasher film that would run away at the first sign of danger and leave the kids to die
Shane casually getting into a ball pit with a creepy ass clown is the most Shane activity. I love how nonchalant he is with these things
I love how Shane looks like a different person in each episode while Ryan manages to look EXACTLY the same
He's got his aesthetic down PAT
@@knightogourdI respect Ryan’s 24/7 beach boy stoner aesthetic but I also respect Shane’s hipster riddler / crazy maths prof / Paddington / ice cream man / Lucius Malfoy aesthetic.
@Joanna-tx1ss I think that ryan isn't entirely beach stoner boy because in the latest season of puppet history, we saw some of his sluttiest outfits yet
@@justmonika1229haven’t seen that season yet… sounds like I’m gonna have to do that now
Shane: shape-shifter
Ryan: vampire
I’m a Boogara, but I agree with Shane. I’m really questioning the credibility of the evidence and paranormal activity of this place
I was thinking that maybe the staff just reached out to them so they could get some free marketing
Definitely feels like an ads imo...
same
I agree, this feels... not haunted; the "evidence" provided by the staff is more than likely not legitimate. When the one woman was talking about "her experience" in the 7th room, it looked as though she was looking down from the camera a few times, as though she was reading lines. Surely, if you were recounting your experience, you wouldn't need to look away to *the same spot* each time because, you know, you'd remember all the details of what you would say next? Her recount seemed rehearsed.
I'm not going to lie but as a person who worked at an escape room before, I have personally seen stuff happening before that cannot be explained
I love that I genuinely do trust their evidence more because sometimes they do have episodes where nothing spooky happens and they're just goofing around
I feel like they took this location opportunity as a little reprieve from the more intense stuff. Going to prisons like the last episode must be mentally exhausting so I’m glad they could laugh and relax this time. Hopefully next episode is an actual haunted place though!😅
I would agree with that, but it's gotta be mentally exhausting just a little bit to even fly all the way from LA to Florida for a place to not be haunted
We need to see Ryan and Shane do an actual escape room
I feel like that’d just be a step down from ghost hunting lol
Interns vs Ghoul Boys
This would be hilarious, I agree
real
Ryan would literally lose his shit and probably die💀
Like others in the comments, I thinks this "haunting" was all set up by the business owners but listening to Ryan and Shane make dirty jokes and then Shane leads Ryan through an escape room is still pretty fun.
the dirty jokes were so good lmao
The clock part killed me xD
This is like a long advertisement for the place, but I laughed a lot.. 😂
@@starcrossreverie"look how big the clock looks in his hand!" 😂
@@einienj3281technically, aren’t all their episodes where there are tours done advertisements for the place?? :)
The "head potential" took me out XD
The scariest thing about this place is fire safety. I hope there are accessible emergency exits in every room. Glad ghoulboy 1 and 2 made it out safe
I am 1000% more terrified of whatever Shane is afraid of
Avocado pits 😂
Accidentally overdosing on heroin
Spiders
Gettin' squished
Not scared ig but amusement park rides
the lack of activity from the flashlight and sls stick figure thingy actually makes all previous evidence with those objects so much more genuinely believable
This is probably the only redeeming aspect of this episode as far as "evidence" goes.
Scientifically that would make this location a suitable "control"
you make a very good point. Many were commenting about how this is more of a publicity thing to which I completely agree, but your point makes all their other videos and location thus far much more grounded all of a sudden.
It's like when they investigated the O.K. Corrale. The spirit box did not give anything at all at that location.
Flashlights yeah. Still imperfect, since you unquestionably get loads of false positives whether there's any ghosts around or not, but as sensitive as they are, it makes sense that, assuming ghosts do exist and can mildly affect their environment, they'd be able to "nudge" a flashlight.
The SLS/Kinect camera...ehhh. It operates by reading how the infrared dots deflect off the contours of your body while you're playing your XBox, and it's designed to assume there is in fact a person in front of it playing said XBox. So those are the two ways it will create a stick figure. If somebody's in front of it, the SLS will pick them up based on how the IR beams deflect off of them. If nobody's in front of it, it will assume a chair, or the columns of a stairway bannister, or an end table, must be the player.
And of course we can see the unbroken grid of dots on night vis cameras when a "ghost" shows up, and when that happens, night vis cameras show that the beams aren't deflecting off of anything (besides the wall, furniture, etc.) Given that the SLS relies on those beams deflecting off the player to detect their figure, if nobody's in front of the SLS, and the grid of dots is unbroken, and a figure happens to show up on the SLS, we can assume the camera is just making its best guess where the "player" is, not actually detecting a figure. The technology doesn't have the means to detect an unseen presence whose form doesn't interact with the infrared beams. It's designed to assume the beams are in fact deflecting off of a person, so like virtually all pieces of ghost-hunting kit, it's pretty much guaranteed to produce the occasional false positive.
If it were really a ghost, we'd expect to see the infrared dots interacting with its "body" on the night vis cameras. Since the grid is always intact when this happens, we know the SLS isn't picking anything up via infrared. Since it can _only_ pick up figures via infrared, we know it's a false positive.
Ryan saying "I'm feeling warm" and promptly letting one rip is almost as good as the "daddy" from last episode
time stamp?

The best part ever
I still think the evidence at Eastern State Penitentiary is the most compelling piece till date. When they are little bit inside the entrance and then they keep hearing footsteps and someone running on the top floor for sometime (to which even Shane agreed). It would be great if they could visit that place with all the new equipments they have now, I am sure some more evidence can be gathered. Love from India btw
The BEST evidence they've had is Spaghetti Apple Tater. They got the same sequence of words at the same location on two separate visits. As goofy as it sounds, that's pretty compelling, considering that at is repeated results. On top of that all, Shane was the one to point it out the second time, not Ryan
@@KVGKQuake I think the lighthouse episode was the most convincing - Ryan had the most normal conversation and he was so shocked he left the building. It gave me chills because it felt like he was talking to someone next to him
@@drypickle7444they really should go back to the lighthouse again, especially with all the new equipment they have now. Maybe since Ryan is better at being in haunted places now, he could actually converse with them this time
@@KVGKQuakeThe best one they had was the "Lol, nerds". That was the best evidence of the whole series. 😂
Shane having increasingly aggressive chats with the ghosts during the Estes Method is becoming my favorite part of this show.
The Ovilus was the unsung star of this episode, with that impeccable comedic timing. "Wow"
I think we were all a little disappointed Shane didn't do his dance. Ovilus also stole the show with "haunting" when Shane was showin' off his gams 😂
I'd call myself a boogara, and I'm going to firmly say there's absolutely NOTHING going on at Dare2Escape. They got some free publicity out of the boys, this episode had no compelling evidence at all. I look forward to Shane absolutely dunking on this place in the debrief. I honestly expect Ryan to be just as merciless. You could tell by how calm he was for the majority of the solo investigation.
Definitely still a fun episode, and it lends credence to Ryan's claims that everything they do is good faith, with no camera tricks or BS. Gotta show both the duds and the bangers.
Ryan will unnecessarily hate on Shane though lmao, that’s what I’m predicting, I mean in the last debrief the guy was so adamant about calling a LITERAL CAT a “ghost” so idk about this one tbh
I agree this episode was a dud in the spooky department. I appreciate they showed this one for that. It also reaffirms these two are hilarious. They don’t need any ghosts to be entertaining.
What universe do you live in where you think Ryan is going to employ common sense? When Shane pointed out how this could be publicity, Ryan called it "excuses".
I agree...I consider myself a Boogara are based on my own personal experiences. However, this place is literally wired for remote trickery top to bottom. Even if it were genuinely haunted, it is too easy to rule something as human generated or electrical in nature. I'd need to see a full body apparition on camera with no one in the building and the whole strip mall area without power to think there was actually something there.
I think because it’s such a modern place, like they mentioned at the beginning, it doesn’t have that spooky, haunted vibe. It’s just an escape room place with all the lights off.
Not to say modern day places can’t be haunted, because Garrett Watts did a video at a makeup studio and it was totally creepy
unfortunately pretty sure they (the people who contacted Shane & Ryan) lied about this location being haunted, but the shorts representation we got in this vid makes up for it
Pretty sure this is just a marketing ploy by the escape room. But it’s always entertaining with Shane and Ryan. And you know what, this place makes previous locations seem more convincing in being haunted 😂
I mean this place already makes money as an escape room. A lot of the other locations make money solely on the reputation of being haunted 😅
I’m not gonna lie, so far this place just seems like a gimmick. Out of last season, this just doesn’t seem haunted at all. I’m glad Shane and Ryan had lots of fun with this one.
It seems like they figured this out half way through so they started to take the piss
Feels like a 1 hour ad for this business
@@theincompetentmekinda makes ya wonder..... just, how much DID they get paid for "investigating" this spot?? 😂
I waited 2 weeks for an ad😢
@@oliviajudd3613 I very much doubt they would do an undisclosed paid ad. That's straight up illegal
Remember how people kept telling them to do a non-haunted location and see if they could gather the same evidence as more historically "haunted" ones? Well, this is that place I guess.
The Estes method parts of ghost files never ceases to make me laugh. Honestly my favorite part of this show
We need a ghost files UK! There are some seriously creepy countryside locations and famous hauntings. Ghost files on tour…
I was recently saying this! I've been to some weird places here in the UK
Great historical locations as well!
For that matter though, why limit to the UK? Throw in an EU tour alongside it. Germany HAS to have some great locations, and France is just full of gothic architecture… The US is full of “ghost hunting” history for sure, but they should definitely break out to some other places, if they can manage the budget at least.
Yeah, I really want them to come to Europe. There are sooo many creepy old places to visit.
Oh god I would love the ghoul boys to come here to Scotland. We have so many haunted castle and even a whole burried street
@@matthewbibby8921 totally agree we need to make a petition I think would be fab
Shane's totally right to be doubly skeptical. You're literally in a spot SET UP to do "ghostly" stuff, taking the word of employees. It'd be super easy to fake, and "haunted escape room" must be GREAT for publicity lol
Agree. Especially since the company invited them to come investigate and most of the evidence came from the employees and not 3rd party visitors.
yeah, the employees definitely set this shit up. disappointed but also thankful that they were willing to post this to be like: yeah, not all places are haunted. @@Slyphantom
I mean it was def fun to watch, but yeah I think absolutely everything here was faked haha
@@victoriakelley664 I don't doubt the sounds Ryan and Shane heard, but since the business is rigged to be haunted, it was likely their doing. The debrief is going to be roooooough
Especially since “the most haunted” area is also the newest attraction.
This is simultaneously the best, horniest and most immature episode of ghost files yet and I am here for it
With how the investigation is going in this unhaunted place, I'm all for them messing around and being 'boys' when nothing is going on 😂
Bar none the goofiest episode they've ever done. Due to their chemistry they can literally pull off ANYTHING!! Best ghost hunters in the biz!
Gay
We get it
Definitely the horniest!
This was very fun to watch since my roommate is a former escape room employee (totally different state and chain) who also swears their escape room was haunted, but who absolutely does not believe a single thing in this video. To paraphrase them:
"Show me a haunted santa themed room with no horror elements and I'll believe you more than this episode."
37:27 - we were rewatching the episode and my roommate had the realization: if the trunk shown here is actually supposed to be "Nelson's trunk" then this place is 100% making shit up. That specific trunk is one that can be purchased from a company that makes props /specifically for escape room/ and is one of the most common trunks out there. In fact, *we literally have an identical trunk in our living room*
Like. MAYBE they got the trunk from an antique store, but it's definitely just a Very Generic Trunk and probably not an "artifact" lol.
This place does have very cool set design and a genius marketing team tho!
I absolutely love the fact that they mentioned the Goatman Bridge while explaining the Estes Method. XD
Came looking for this comment XD
I'm so grateful for Shane being real and being able to call bs. Like saying how the escape room being 'haunted' is gimmicky and calling out Ryan for thinking the cat is a ghost last ep LOL.
this was 100% an excuse to do something at night before going to Disney the next morning
@@beeaggro2593 LOL love that
This episode is the equivalence of the boys at Knott's Berry Farm just having a silly good time. I am glad to see them have fun when no ghost is around. You can tell, because Ryan is not disasociating himself to cope with his fear.
Yeah, I don’t know why everybody is so pressed about it… I watch for Ryan and Shane, not for the ghosts
@@annlyp6303super stupid, there’s never ghosts because ghosts aren’t real 😂 half the audience believes that ghosts aren’t real so we NEVER care about evidence and watch for the boys. That’s what it’s always been about. So the people getting tied up in knots about ghosts don’t understand the real purpose of these shows: for two best friends to have a good time together, sometimes teach each other things, and grow together.
@@wolfiemuse imagine singling out the other half of the audience to feel better about yourself. your arrogance says a lot about your ignorance
@@wolfiemuse i think a lot of boogaras think shaniacs watch it to laugh and insult people who believe in ghosts - i could NOT CARE LESS! i dont think ive had so much fun watching these guys fuck around, or ryan run around screaming
This is one of my favourite Ghost Files episode for that reason 😂 it felt like the old days with them goofing off. I don't mind that Ryan isn't scared lol as long as it's funny
Regarding the photo (and I don't know if anyone else has commented this), depending on when the photo was taken, you can actually tell which was dead just by who in the photo is stiller. Because photos used to take so long to take and process, people would naturally sway or move slightly while holding still to take a photo, making them slightly blurrier. However, and this may come as a shock, dead people actually don't move, meaning that they would be very clear in their photos. The Winchester Mystery House has some really cool examples of these types of "Post Mortem" photos.
There’s a good example of identical twins who were about 4. One is perfectly clear the other has about 3 blurry faces all look like they’re screaming. It’s so creepy.
@@Zetta711that sounds so interesting! where could I find this photo??
I also hear that even in the less old ones, you can sometimes tell by the eyes, because the eyes on the dead person have to be altered in
Imagine if the voices and all the other "evidence" like them probably saying "it's us", "Shane", "Hey, Ryan", etc. are just the ghosts and demons that they brought along with them over course of their investigations, and are trying to warn that this place is probably not haunted at all 😂
the fact that ryan didnt even say a line about how much he likes to torture himself with going into the solo investigations this video really speaks to how unpersuasive this location was lol
@@jarnold1789Honestly this episode is one of my favorites now if only because it’s hilarious
Speaking as someone who was with that company for over two years, I can confidently say that Dare2Escape is likely not haunted
Got a fun story you could type? Genuinely curious
my bf also worked at dare2escape and he wants to talk about shared experiences lol
Keep talking
pls explain more!!
is there a story behind that
My favorite part of the whole episode is Shane yelling, "hold onto my pocket Nelson!"
I love watching Shane talking to the ghosts 😂 "hold onto my pocket" "you heard me" "keep holding onto my pocket, you little bitch"
I'm not much of a believer, but the ghost mentioning "Head potential" after glancing at Shane's leg is enough to persuade me.
Lmaooo
For the Debrief, would y'all ever consider doing a control experiment with your equipment. Just so we can compare the tools to how they act in "haunted" places, versus locations with no reported paranormal activity.
Needs to be in ryans house just to terrify him more
@@SaviourInDistressdiabolical, I love it
Like their new offices lmao
I'm pretty sure they already answered this question, Ryan said he believes anywhere can be haunted, so ya know, not much evidence
Theres ghosts everywhere tho really, they dont need to die there to be there. Like if someone died in hospital they will go home as thats where they have memories and are Happy etc.
my favorite part of ghost files is when its incredibly obvious that shane loves being a puppeteer
Minute 52: The words "young" and "tool" when Shane was trying to get himself out of the ball pit had me cracking up. 😂
Clearly the Ovilus saying "ring" and "nine" refers to the nine Rings of Power given to mortal men, corrupting their spirits and luring them into the service of Sauron, Dark Lord of Mordor
LMAO
😂
you’re so right
the fact that shane wore such short shorts for the one investigation where they actually have to crawl is TAKING ME OUT
I’m obsessed with Shane’s short shorts, he is truly a fashion icon ✨
I bet that he can go lower!
Debrief: Can you ever try to use the spirit box/honeytone and ovilus devices in the same room or time to see if the words or phrases are consistent? Or would they mess up each other's signal...?
I'm a boogara but i totally agree with shane on this one that it seems a little too perfect that an escape room is haunted in such a theatrical manner. it seems too manufactured to be authentic in any way.
just the description sounds like some fnaf shit
just starting this, but it really feels like this company got a bunch of people to send in "evidence" so that you guys would go check it out and they could advertise being like "look we're an actual scary escape room" lol
My brother worked here up until about a month ago. Another paranormal investigation show filmed here so I asked him if he had experienced anything weird. He said nothing crazy happened lol The only thing he said was maybe some things getting moved when no one was there
I agree they had quite a bit of call ins for a random escape room in a sad strip mall. Good observation.
Of the different investigations, this one does feel the most... advertisey. lol Ryan pretty much went in with 0% fear.
It does look like a neat escape room
They 100% got a check of their own for coming here id guess. Glad they got a bag and hopefully they went to some actual creepy places with it
They prefaced the episode by saying they were invited to come. I do believe this is just a PR stunt for the place. I went there once. People coming I met were more interested in it being haunted. Also the staff can't wait to tell you about how haunted it. But it was a great escape room.
Great episode. The ghoul boys were on point with the jokes and fun.
I feel like it’s a bit odd how a lot of the evidence was either first discovered by employees at the place, or was sent in by actual employees. Obviously, if this place is haunted, then the people who are there the most (employees) are most likely to see something, but it’s still a little bit weird.
That being said, fun episode with Ghoul Boys as always! I don’t want to make it seem like I didn’t enjoy watching this.
I worked at a historical house (that had no deaths associated with it) that had always been the “creepy abandoned house” in my home town. I was a reenactor with several other Highschool kids. We used to go to the areas that were blocked off to guests, hide in the windows and peak up when the tour guides weren’t looking. We’d spray perfume in rooms before a tour would come through and would run up and down the the attic stairs which made it sound like someone was running down the main stairs. We were just playing pranks as 16 year olds but a couple years later I saw it on a ghost show, it apparently had become a ghost hunting location and they reported finding all the things we did as pranks. The staff had no idea we were doing it.
I agree with Shane. I don't trust an escape room to not fake this shit
I agree with you, but you have 666 likes and I don't want to ruin it
@@nameunknown5106it's currently 705, u can like it now 😭
ngl i dont trust anyone that sends in "evidence" esp self proclaimed ghost hunters just wanting free exposure
@@nameunknown5106 777 now wayooooo
Does anyone else remember the Ghost Hunters episode where the owners had tricks planted, and the guys found them all? Like they were saying “people see the chandeliers swing,” but then the guys crawled up into the ceiling and found pneumatics attached to them to make them swing. The guys were FURIOUS and confronted the owner, who tried to play it cool but was clearly sweating bullets at getting caught.
I’m currently feeling deja vu. I feel like the tricks in this case are less obvious, but could still be a plant.
JFC, Ghost Hunters is literally one of the dumbest, fakest shows out there. The fact that they ‘caught’ the tricks is only to trick gullible people into believing they’re actually skeptics and that their investigations must be real. Please tell me you’re not enough of an idiot to buy anything you see on that show
what ep was that?
What’s episode ?
I honestly don’t recall - I only saw the episode once like 15 years ago. But I have a very clear memory of one of the guys opening a ceiling tile, and then the two of them finding a mask behind a “mirror” (actually one-way glass) that would light up, I think on a motion sensor or timer.
ETA: it was Moss Beach Distillery. They have since claimed that GH knew the whole time and that they were surprised by the edit, but if that’s the case I don’t know why they would even have filmed the opening tour with the distillery employee saying “oh, people see these chandeliers swing.” Also if the owner was acting, give that man an Oscar. I’ve never seen a better “trying to play it cool when I know I’ve been caught out” performance in my life.
I remember that!
I know everyone's talking about how fake the haunting seems but I honestly think this was a great representation of what GF is trying to achieve - most of the places they've been have had *something*, but the sheer lack of good "evidence" in this episode surely emphasises how "haunted" other locations have been.
I got to see this one live in Boston. Ryan did a cartwheel within 60 seconds of coming out on stage.
My husband owns and runs an escape room. Our locks and electronics reset and malfunction constantly. It’s not ghosts, they just get abused by enthusiastic escape room goers and people trying to find a way to cheat.
I’m honestly surprised they’re even doing this episode. Usually I’m a boogara but this is obviously a ploy to get more business. A door opening on security footage is so textbook and would be very easy to do. Shane is right with this one!!!
Edit: not judging the guys or the team! Just the business.
Yeah I’m surprised that they did this episode.
I agree, but a lot of the other places they do are places that have ghost tours and other such things and would also want free advertisement. The main reason this one feels more like a business ploy is because it's an unconventional place to be "haunted".
I agree. I hope they see your comment for debrief bc they need to address it
Honestly i dont mind that they did, they seem to have had a lot of fun with this oje and i think thats what ultimately matter to them more
True but I don't really watch this for the ghosts but for the Ghoul Boys™!!!
I just love seeing them have fun
Photos of the recently dead were actually a thing back when cameras were just invented. Often after the sudden demise of a person, it would be realized that there were no photos of them. So in an effort to have an accurate record of how the person looked,the body would be dressed,makeup would be applied and they would be posed for a photograph to be taken. A treasured memento for the loved ones of the deceased.
22:00 “all chokes aside” -Ryan
this episode was so unhinged and needlessly sexual, i love it
It is my firm belief that they are fully aware everyone ships them together and are joking around with it and pulling our legs
this is just normal friend behavior
@@barbaragarb9453 Nah it's just normal behaviour between 2 good friends lol
@@barbaragarb9453 this is just how guys joke around lol
I'd love to see a special episode where you guys go around somewhere absolutely no one says is haunted and treating it how you usually would to test the equipment and how you guys listen to things.
But what if everywhere is haunted and people only notice it in creepy locations because they’re on the lookout for it
Yess like an Ikea or something haha
I would watch that in a second.
Im convinced the owners pulled a smart one on the boys in this episode so you basically got what you wanted
wait that’s genius
Shane's short shorts are giving me everything I hoped for and more. The man is an icon I will die on this hill
Ryan and Shane have hit their unhinged era and I’m so here for it. That fart on the steps with that hair. Omg 😂 I died laughing. N Shane is looking pretty good in those short shorts 😂
Even though the "hauntings" in this escape room just feels very much like a way to draw in customers, this is easily one of the silliest episodes the boys have had in while. Peak TH-cam content
The Ovilus saying "Young tool" as Shane struggled to get out of the ballpit was enough evidence for me that its haunted
*wow*
Every time they introduce audio evidence I put my listening ears on and try my best to hear the word/sentence, but I only hear miscellaneous sounds 😂
I need an episode of them actually doing an escape room now 😭
Maybe some sort of "Too Many Spirits" thing where they solve part and have to drink. Then they move on to the next clue.🍻🥃🥃
@@derekrichardson9105 That would be amazing 😂😂
@@derekrichardson9105 that's a great idea!
That “Wow” has the same energy as “Nerd” and I hope we get more of those.
The ovilus always makes me laugh the hardest. “Nerd”, “daddy”, and now “wow” lmao! The timing and the way the ovilus voice said it is really what made it so funny to me.
Do u have the timestamp comrade?
"potential head"
Fly's open"
Fr the “wow” ghost- king of comedic timing
@@bill4665 That was hilarious too! And their reactions to it were perfect lol
Shane fighting with a ghost again. Some things never change. 😂
for debrief: if you released scratch-and-sniff Shane and Ryan stickers, what scents would you be? 🍿🥧🍕
Ryan has to be Root beer
@@brookiecookie6586 nah would ryan not be popcorn
Ryan would be Apple Tater and Shane would be Spaghetti
Ryan’s would be the fart he ripped
@@MiklPickleapple tater scented fart
The wonderful thing about this episode is that it shows that the electronics that Shane and Ryan use DO respond to ACTUAL haunted places. Very little activity in this episode, which makes sense.
This place is more modern though with more insulation and less likely to fluctuate in temperatures from wind or outside sources, less likely to have potential bugs setting off things, lack of animals inside etc. So I feel like we can't concretely say that these devices only work in the more 'haunted' locations and rather they're just more responsive to the stimuli in old abandoned locations.
@@renangelo419 I was thinking the same thing. As entertaining as I find the ovilus, I can't even begin to process how any of that would work and I find all the rest of them dubious at best. If anything, this series is about how good Ryan and Shane are at riffing and improv.
@@sammyi2505agree, the ovilus' comedic timing is purely accidental which is honestly kinda sad. But yeah ultimately none of these 'tools' actually work.
@@ZekromAndYugiAndDrago123 The ovilus apparently takes environmental readings and translates them into words. But that leads to the question of how exactly the inventor of it determined what environmental readings corresponded to what words?
@@BenoHourglass The engineers can translate because they speak Ghostese, duh! 😁Though I confess I'm still not entirely sure how the software differentiates between homophones like "hear" and "here" 🤣
For the debrief: Knowing that people were likely to call BS on this one, what convinced you to investigate fully rather than just do the Escape Room as a fun bonus episode or silly season finale?
I think it would’ve been a bit disappointing for this to have been the season finale
@@annlyp6303 In it's current format definitely, but gosh I bet it would be hilarious watching these two try to cooperate their way out of a haunted escape room 😂 x
When I’m a ghost, I’m going to haunt shitty “asylum” themed things and every EVP will be me give stats about how people with severe mental illness are more likely to be the victims of violence crime then the perpetrators of it.
Also always nice to be reminded the ghoul boys don’t just make up evidence. If a place isn’t active, they don’t pretend it is and it makes me respect places that are active a lot more
I will join you in the “asylum” to spread your message.
My favorite piece of evidence. “Yeah, how about I skip that” Ghost replies, “wow.”
Shane: "So we're on the hunt for some knockers?"
Ryan: "Could you be professional for one second?"
Also Ryan: Just talked about how his ghost would possess a toilet. AND lets rip the biggest fart that gets picked up by the equipment.
Comedy at its peak.
Hypocrisy at it's finest.
not my proudest fap
Hitched them legs up too high 😂
2:43 Shane, if you're scared of antique stores, come to Savage Mill in Laurel, Maryland! It's allegedly very haunted with several well-known ghosts and the entire basement is a huge antique store featuring THE creepiest dolls you have ever seen. It used to be a cotton mill dating back to the 1800s (the building is on the National Register of Historic Places) and has a lot of Civil War history as well. Genuinely one of the creepiest places I've ever been and I don't even believe in ghosts - but it does have a very nice vegan coffee shop, so it's worth risking a haunting. :)
You should add this to their debrief comment :) I'd love to see that lol I've been dying for more dolls since the island ep
Is Laurel, MD haunted in general?
YESSS i need an episode where shane is scared too
Adds to places to visit
@@Kayla_P99 It's great. I got a vintage 1930s dress for homecoming one year at the antique store so I'm probably very haunted now. Also, it's surrounded by creepy abandoned mill buildings in the woods! Yaaay.
24:37 “Shut the fu k up boo buddy” needs to be on a t-shirt
You should really do ghost files international where you travel to a country and go to its top 5 haunted locations. Can be fit for an entire season on top of enjoying a vacation
Yes it used to be the most interesting episode to me when they did 3 scary locations and covered a haunted doll island in Mexico
I’m glad to see that a lot of people on the comments have gone into this one IMMEDIATELY sceptical
The only time the two sides unite 😂
@@darcywarwick4634 truly 😂
I actually like seeing them investigate this obviously not haunted place because it makes there other investigations feel more real and like the other locations may truly be haunted.
You never see ghost investigation shows where they go into the location and find absolutely no actual evidence of a haunting. It's always that the house is haunted for sure. It's nice seeing actual haunting vs fake ones
There’s always the small chance that this is just a super clever and elaborate way of faking it, but the fact they commentate on other ghost hunting shows and also put all the time and production into an obviously unconvincing location is in itself convincing- and is really the reason I like Shane and Ryan so much
Have been a fan for a long time and know not everything is always gonna be the same, but I miss the dynamic of Shane being calm and rational and Ryan being scared as hell 😂
Just in case you guys don't know about older photos (mostly talking to other commenters!) but older photos took a very long time to actually take, like a good several minutes, which results in a sort of 'haziness' around people as even when we're posed perfectly still, there's natural movement that occurs.
Which means in the photo at 40:00, the Ghoul Boys were indeed wrong-- Tim is the one who's dead in the photo, as his features are captured perfectly clear and crisp...as he didn't move a single millimeter during the photo process. Joyce has the telltale 'haze'. It makes sense also that Tim's the dead one as he's posed in the chair, while Joyce is kind of hovering near him. The reason Joyce's eyes have a deadness to them is probably grief from losing her husband.
the only thing more surprising than the audacity of these escape room owners to contact ryan and shane, is that shane and ryan actually gave them the free advertising they were hoping for. but at least it's given one the boogaras and shaniacs can agree on xD
And arguably free vacation somewhat
But isn't every location doing this? None of them are actually haunted. Many of them make money off of advertising themselves as haunted. To me, it's like wrestling. Everyone knows it's fake and is in on the bit.
@@thefeministagenda9544 how you perceive it depends on if you’re a believer or a skeptic but no, it’s not supposed to be looked at as fake or fabricated on all the locations
It'd be funny if "Lisa, Ameline, Bill, Tina" were the names of the employees who were asked by their boss to fake a haunting. Imagine these underpaid employees faking a haunting, "this is bullshit, I just want my paycheck" only to be name-checked by the Ovilus and going "...is it actually haunted?"
i'd watch that movie 😂
That would be CRAZY, I love it lol
What if they faked a haunting and then died and now they’re forced to haunt the escape room forever 🤔
@@scrimblo5845naw being forced to work in the afterlife would be a tragedy 😭
WE GOT A WHISTLEBLOWER!!! Ovilus said it was a "total front!"
After binging all of Unsolved and Ghost Files, I’ve finally made it to the most up to date episode. Love what you guys have done and are doing. I’m excited to see where this new season goes!
boo buddy is so brave being in all these places alone :(
No one's there to be the boo buddy's buddy 😢
😮@@theatregeek299
whenever the device was saying all the names and then last minute said “Tina”…I like to imagine all the ghosts were trying to get their names in and Tina was like OH SHIT last chance
It was giving Mambo no 5 vibes
The ghost saying 'come' '...what?' like it had an intrusive thought at 30:09
