- Someone just needs to tie cinder blocks around Jeffrey's ankles and throw him in the river to sleep with the fishes. Problem solved. But no, let's keep him inside the house in the room right next to where I sleep!
Hope you guys are enjoying these videos, will be more to come in the future!

Fun fact, Jeffrey just wants him to paint the walls but he didn’t opt for the afterlife pro package so he can’t verbally communicate.
lmao
no one haunts for free
What does the pro package cost? I must be ready so I won't end up like Jeffrey
Jeffery has to pay up in ghost coins😂
Nah, hes gotta use crypto-coin. 😂@@CommandoMaster
The Jeffrey story is a good summary of what bothers me about so much modern horror. We're told that Jeffrey is the bad guy. This is not challenged. And yet, the reason Jeffrey gets the opportunity to turn his head is because something was making noise on the stairs. So if that noise wasn't created by a second entity, then Jeffrey can be in two places at once, or at least remotely interact with them even when he's "trapped" in a room. So he's never trapped, then, is he? The story isn't even following its own rules, so how can I take it seriously? Not to mention, Jeffrey passes up the perfect opportunity to attack just for a creepy shot, so he's more of an actor than a killer, isn't he? That sort of creepy just undermines any actual horror.
I mean... he is a jester.
he could just be fucking with the guy.
the entire time the guy is like "it's a demon, he will kill us all!" and jeffrey is like "it's just a prank bro!".
and then the movie ends when the guy realizes jeffrey is just bad at practical jokes
@@alicepbg2042 I expected Jeffery to just be a man in a jester costume 😂 hes just really good at makeup
After reading this comment I like to imagine Jeffrey also looked over in confusion xd
"????? I thought I was the only paranormal here? Wtf."
"were told that big jef is the bad guy" um wait hold up there pardner who told u big jef was the bad guy? All I done heard was the guy was creeped out by him, now dagnabbit being creeped out by someit don't autoformaticalularlly make a thing a bad guy where I come from son.
The idea of Jeffrey being benevolent despite being scary as hell, and there being a second, evil entity that Jeff's aware of would be honestly a dope story premise
I like how these people are slowly walking around their houses to not disturb the "intruders", while simultaneously shining their bright af flashlight lol
I thought I heard someone in my house one night and bet your ass I woke my brother up to go check as I hid in my room with all the lights on and the door shut.
@@Cove_Blue true survivor
I'll grab my Battle axe and crossbow whenever I heard sound's outside of my house and usually it's just a cat's wild pig or a thief trying to get inside of my house or juz looting something around of my house so they can sell to buy a drug but they normally run away whenever they saw me equipped with crossbow and 2 battle axe on my belt
Jeffrey is actually a very pretty doll. I think the only intimidating thing about him is just sheer size. Has me wondering if he's some kind of antique, or a custom build. I've never seen one so big before.
I think I saw some video about Jeffrey before, and I believe he's actually a container. Like, his big barrell stomach is a storage container that you can put stuff in. That's why he's so big and thicc. If I'm remembering right, that is, because it's been a while.
I actually really want Jeffrey in my doll collection, even in the very unlikely case he was haunted. He's honestly not doing anything harmful from what the videos show, and is such a cool clown.
He'd fit right in with my antique porcelain doll I named Little Miss Pepper.
@@HarmonyHope7534 Same! I have a doll collection and I want one aswell! if you wanted to know his brand or where to get one, he's a wayne kleski jester doll from around 1999-2000, and he's actually quite rare most selling for around 1k+ but its because wayne kleski dolls are very detailed and hand made.
@@pinkdarkman hes not, hes just a life size jester doll...
It's actually a Limited Edition Katherine Collections Jester Doll.
I can't get over the fact that man had an active heater in his basement and had it facing a wall.
Gotta make sure dolly stays warm
How convenient, right? He had to have something set off his motion detector. There is no other reason to have a space heater turned on in the basement.
And why would you put your camera on a thing you know will move?
It’s a tiny electric heater that’s the equivalent of a hair dryer, so pointing it at a wall shouldn’t hurt, it’s not that close, but putting a camera on it would be really stupid.
@@ShadoeLandman It's not that it'd hurt or something, it's that he has an active heater in an unused room facing a space where it won't even properly heat the room.
Props to the guy with the doll: If I lived in a place like this, I would also make spooky vids like this for entertainment
The gimmick goes like this; film creepy house antics, promise viewers you’ll paint the walls, make up story about how the “ghosts” don’t let the paint dry, continue living in the house from PT
Jeffrey sure is an oddly proportioned haunted clown doll. I've got an aunt that collects clown dolls (for some unknown reason), and I don't think a single one of them has even a quarter of the cake Jeffrey does.
Caked up (with ghosts!)
@@TheImpossiBelle the ghosts are stored in the buttocks
He's trying to haunt the young Englishman but the clap of his asscheeks keeps alerting all the motion sensor cameras
Ji😢t
My brother’s ex collected clown dolls. She had BPD. Explains everything.
That 'orb' moves exactly like someone moving their mouse cursor 😂
3:44 Chat got a good laugh out of me when somebody said "Sell Doll ---> Buy paint" now thats problem solving
There's some right witty regulars that hang in chat... and then there's just the rest of us troublemakers.
😉😂
Bro really just wants to spook himself
Honestly, creating fake haunted doll videos that go viral and then selling the doll for big bucks is not the worst way to make money... I say this as someone who bought a "haunted" clown doll from ebay lol. Of course, he was only $15 and not TikTok famous, but if Jeffrey was on sale for like $10 and wasn't so big, I wouldn't mind giving my doll a brother.
In case no-one has mentioned it, I think John's debunking videos are actually very comforting, especially for those who experience paranoia or delusions. Videos that push the idea of hauntings and ghosts can be terrifying for people who struggle with separating reality from fiction, and these debunking videos can help with grounding. So, thanks John. You're not only helping people think critically, but also helping people who need these kinds of videos debunked for comfort.
Literally every ghost video on TH-cam is just for views. They're all fake. All of them.
Fully agree!! I was raised CONVINCED this bs was real... SO much easier to function in a world where evidence exists & one has the right to ask for it❤
Never considered this, sounds good
Well said ❤️
I love how these people are traumatized and terrified and yet always manage to hold their phones perfectly still with no physical reactions during real life jump scares.
Whenever they have shaky movement y'all are the same people to say they're doing it to make cuts easier lmfao make up your mind
@@gabusdeuxsure. They're fake, whether they hold their phone still or not. I made up my mind. Belief in the supernatural is silly AF until it can actually be demonstrated to exist. Noises you can't figure out the source for doesn't count.
@@gabusdeuxthat part. Plus stabilizers and gimbals are a thing. 😂
@@gabusdeux actually, any phones made recently have an auto-stabilizer option for video recording. My phone's from 2022 and has it, and it works pretty damn well.
@@gabusdeux It is easier to make cuts, just objectively. But also, the argument here is that these people are being claimed to have been traumatized by the events they witnessed and yet their body language doesn't convey that at all and their reactions are your canned scared-acting instead of a legitimate fear response.
You're also acting like there's some sort of unfair logic at work, since either the blatantly fake videos can't win because they're too shaky or they can't win because they aren't shaky enough. The reality is actually that they can't win because they're predicated on an obvious hoax.
Throw Jeffrey into the city dump? Bro look at his house, that IS the city dump!
One thing that I always find interesting is how when it's phone footage, it's always like a First Person view. You're scared and you're looking through your house, or even running away, and the camera never goes down to their side while they're moving. It never moves in a way that seemed as if it's being held in a hand, only like it's attached to the person's head. If you're actually scared, you'll be looking around for threats; not just watching the phone screen to make sure you record whatever.
Who's to say it's on their head at all? They might be slowly pan the hand around while looking all over the place
That's a great point. That woman in the giant house saw a shadow in her reflection on the TV and PERFECTLY, LEVELLY PANNED HER PHONE 180° instead of the natural reaction of whipping her head around and then following it with the phone when she saw there was nothing there. Awesome insight Peyton 👍
Thry could rationalize a gopro or something for why they have steady footage. Either they're tryhard ghost hunters or they're trying to catch a ghost thats been fucking with them in the past. Its pretty easy. im surprised more ghost videos don't use that excuse.
@@gabusdeux But... why?
These are supposedly people who believe they're dealing with a potential life-or-death situation. Surely their priority should be more on survival and less on getting the footage.
I understand in the 'night' ones, where the camera is presumably also their flashlight, but people like the super Christian guy had no reason to move the camera so cinematically during the day.
@@trianglemoebiusdudes defending all these phony vids in a lot of comment threads
What bothers me is that in every scary "real" TikTok video, they’re running around in their own apartment without even thinking about turning the lights on. That would be my first instinct when facing my fear of not being alone.
Imagine being so scared of this doll, that you go into the room it’s in, grab him, set him down and record saying what you’re gonna do with him, and then set up a fnaf style security camera for him. Idk about you guys, but he seems pretty horrified to me.
I was literally like “oh this happened in fnaf”
The clown one is about the easiest to fake, next to the silly self-playing programmable piano and the "orb", which was obviously just someone playing with a laser pointer.
@@maxxxmodelz4061 I'm willing to give the woman the benefit of the doubt: I think the "orb" was light reflecting off of something moving (possibly a celling fan) into the camera, and she genuinely thinks it was something supernatural. Unlike everyone else who plays it up for clout, she seemed mostly confused, made an attempt to interact with it, then kinda wrote it off and went on with her life (minus posting the video, which isn't that bad).
If this was one of those other people, she'd be running through her house trying to escape it.
First off who puts a doll sitting up in the middle/center of a room? Facing a wall in a basement? That thing should be either in a closet somewhere or up in the attic collecting dust. If he wants to honor his mother and her doll, then usually you have it stored away in some kind of bin or basket. Unless of course you want a make a creepy ghost video, then by all means have at it.
It's like the people who believe these videos don't know what normal human behavior is. For reference, that's not at all how anyone acts when they're scared. No one slowly creeps around with their phone and a flashlight, plays with the doll that's supposedly haunted, and then sets up a fnaf camera for it in the basement.
If someone truly thinks thay doll is haunted, they're gonna turn on the lights in their house and fucking burn it in the backyard. Thats how people would react to an item they believe is cursed.
Listen I was a HUGE believer for 18 years then put two and two together. In those 18 years I never saw or heard a single thing that couldn't be explained. It's truly nothing but a case of an overactive imagination, like that saying "If you hear hoofbeats think horses not zebras" there's always a logical explanation but I do love watching this stuff because I'm still a fan of horror in general and sometimes people do really good and it's fun to watch and get a lil spook, especially this channel because he's not all cringe like the reactors screaming and being overdramatic lol
I'm concerned that it took you 18 years to put two and two together.
@@arstulexI was going to say that too. BUT, I’m just glad she accomplished it at all. I swear it seems most people believe this shit and no amount of proof that it’s fake will ever convince them otherwise. It’s creepy. So at least she connected the dots.
You took the words right out of my mouth. When I was 10-12, I was interested in paranormal entities and "high strangeness". Disembodied spirits, shadow people, Martians, Bigfoot, poltergeists, orbs, will-o'-wisps, time travelers, and other goofy crap. It didn't take me too long to grow up and start thinking rationally and cynically about things like that.
@@arstulex fair but i was a child for most of those years lol
@@AidenRKrone and I still think those things are fun to watch, just obviously very much not real lol
I can’t get enough of these ghost debunked videos.
I was cracking up this time, with his modeling of the guy's camera movements. "Who moves like that?"
Yes! My new favorite series!
This. It’s my favorite.
John may as well have been grown in a lab specifically to do these debunking videos. It's so perfect based on his entire theme as a content creator.
Honestly🤣 living for these videos!
I love how the orb was always in the foreground. It never disappeared behind an object and we never saw her live feed on the phone. Too easy to add that little orb in post.
That, or it's a moth /dome sort of other flying insect, close to the camera. 9/10 times an orb is just a larger piece of dust, or flying insect... or just added in, as you said
@@ldawg7117 It never changes distance in the foreground despite moving in numerous positions and angles. It's either an added effect or a something like a laser pointer.
@@KaleidosXXI I think it's light reflecting off one of the toys, into the camera. This would explain why it was never seen from again: that specific toy is obviously going to be in the EXACT same position again.
I wear a watch, and often sit next to my window when reading, and light reflects off my watch onto the wall (which in turn causes my cat to choose violence, incidentally), I think this is the same basic thing. Only difference is my chair is always in the same spot, and my watch is always about the same distance down my wrist, so it happens daily.
My guess is that it was a laser pointer. The blurry black-and-white video plus the viewer's imagination makes it appear to float in the air. The way the light trailed behind it as it moved may have been a subtle added effect.
John, I really like the turn your channel is taking, giving space to critical thinking. It is so needed now that hoaxes are so easily spread and being accepted as if they were real. Thank you for what you are doing. Greetings from Mexico.
well he is after all... harshly critical 😎
There are way more in-depth debunks for this kind of stuff out there, John's style definitely seems more so for fun. And I like that.
Think Critically. 🎉
@@MrMiarne In-depth? The videos shown are a joke, this is the level of seriousness they ought to be taken at
@@Koirishima I know, but there are people who make it fun by digging into how exactly these are done by going through how you'd do that with VFX, or what practical effects were used
To be fair as a ghost I would do nothing besides slightly shift objects to the right or turn them ever so slightly over time when nobody is there, The Gremlin ghost.
Honestly, I could never make these fake videos in my own home. Even if that doll is totally normal, I'd be paranoid as FUCK after psyching myself up like this lmao
Same I'd be like "hahaha that was fun but no way the doll is actually haunted....UNLESS me acting it out made it happen???" Or something stupid like that 😅
same like what if i give the ghosts ideas
@@lovesunset345lmaooo
It makes sense because the majority of believers are at least partially psyching themselves out. The power of suggestion is real.
@@Deus_ex_lucifina oh true, there are so many things you can talk yourself into 😅
Interesting how it's always the creepiest looking dolls that are "haunted", like how often do you hear about a haunted kermit the frog or scooby doo plush
The 'real' Annabelle is/was a Raggedy Ann
I'm sure my Care Bears have wild parties when I'm not home.
The camera on an oscillating fan was literally a gimmick in the Paranormal Activity series lol I don’t believe for a damn second that the dude simply “forgot” that his heater was timed to turn on especially when I don’t know why it would be plugged in at all when he’s keeping it in his freaking basement
Also, if the heater was timed to turn on and he forgot about it, it'd turn on way before "a few nights later" like they say it did in the vid.
Good point, but also sometimes basement heating is needed to keep either something down there warm or contributes to the heating of the whole house.
@@badwulff Right?? This was the big thing for me. Why doesn't it turn on every night if it's on a timer? Like, is it programmed to only go off once every couple days or something? And stuff only happens immediately after the heater turned on? Seems a bit farfetched to me lol
He had it there so that Jeffrey doesn't get cold, obviously
/s
just like in the second entry the guy has an Annabelle poster and earlier we saw a room filled with crosses that looks exactly like the chained up in room in The Conjuring 2 (2 movies set in the same shared horror universe.) If someone doesn't know it, just type cross room conjuring 2 and you'll see plenty of examples. I mean it's cute to imitate media you enjoy, I just wish they didn't try to market it as real ghost videos.
I find the Jeffrey the Clown doll thing to be genuinely scary. I don't actually believe its real but damn is it good horror design. Genuinely scared me better than any horror movie.
I like imagining that in these videos, John is a professional ghost hunter who takes his job very seriously and has to deal with all these false leads and hoaxes.
Actually pretty cool to think about. 😂
@Flare I’m aware, not sure what in my original comment made you assume I didn’t know that?
@Flare bro read half the comment
Picture John as Sam or Dean Winchester 😂
"A pack of plastic spoons" took me out. 🤣🤣🤣
John debunking these videos has officially made it in my "comfort zone video series", that cheers me up and makes me feel cozy while watching with my pajamas on.
That's exactly what I'm doing right now :P
I'm currently on vacation in Japan and got sick 2 days ago. These videos got me through it so far 😂
There are several keyboards that can be pre-programmed ahead of time to play certain notes or songs. Sometimes the keys will light up, but in some of them you actually see the keys press down, as this one does here. It's not a ghost doing that, it's the type of keyboard. And the orb thing looked like someone playing with a laser pointer.
i just love how the guy couldnt just put his low quality camera on an UNPLUGGED heater. i bet he was thinking, "oh. Jeffrey is a haunted doll. lets keep him in the basement. but its cold so lets make sure he stays warm while i film him."
As a believer in ghosts, and someone who has experienced many unexplained spooky things throughout my life, I have rarely seen any videos that were believable. Love your videos.
John is the kind of guy that comments on the light fixtures in a scene of a scary movie while everyone else in the room is scared shitless 😂
Sombody in the room needs to be the "realistic" one tbh
To be fair... that's totally me too lol. I'm a sucker for just good decor.
@@daveybonesOGfr and I mean they choose some gorgeous houses for hauntings
@@yowwowtowikr just beautiful
I once woke up to a loud thud from a cactus hitting the roof, you don't trimble with Fear, its fight or flight, you're ether getting a club to wack someone's head in, or you're running out and calling the cops
Ok I gotta ask... A cactus hitting your roof?
@justiceleague3000 it's called living in Arizona
It's raining cactui, hallelujah?
I love that this is a series. Oh, how I can’t wait to see you tackle the creepy puppet that went viral in the ghost video community. 😂
I never got the "orb" stuff in ghost videos. Idk how anyone could be scared of an orb of light that's either a dust particle or an insect.
I hear loud banging or knocking as I'm just about to fall asleep kind of often. 99% of the time it's an auditory hallucination called "exploding head syndrome", a harmless perceptions where you hear a bang or a knock as you're about to fall asleep. The 1% of the time is one of the dogs just making a noise
I have two very odd issues that aren't really uncommon, but they are rarely talked about, so most people are unaware of them. One is musical ear syndrome, and the other is hypnagogic hallucinations. The first is when the brain interprets things like fan sounds and other white noise into music such as popular songs, opera music, or any other type of songs, and the other is when someone is about to fall asleep, is under stress, or is in a quiet environment, and they hear someone (such as a relative) say their name or a sentence of some sort. It can make someone who isn't aware of those conditions believe that they are experiencing paranormal activity. I also suffer from something not as common, so I don't know if they're related or not - misophonia. That's where I am oversensitive to certain noises, such as people smacking their lips, snapping their gum, chewing loudly, etc. ASMR drives me insane. These noises cause legitimate distress to people with my disorder. I wonder if your exploding head disorder is related to the hypnagogic hallucinations family?
My mom had that! She said it was like suddenly there'd be a train zooming by her at full volume for a second or two.
My house is very noisy at night. Its kinda old and makes a lot of settling noises like creaking and banging. Its what i usually suspect when i hear it in spooky ghost videos.
Yo I also have EHS! Finally good to see someone else with it!
I thought people in horror movies were stupid…nope…
I find it mind blowing that in this day and age people are more gullible towards the supernatural than they've ever been. From ghosts to haunted toys to even the freaking horoscope.
I feel bad for my man Jeffrey. First you lock him in a room and force him to look at the wall, and then you lock him in the basement and _still_ force him to look at a wall. Shit, if you did that to me I'd be banging on the walls and trying to entertain myself too.
He wasn't hurtin nobody; he was just clowning around.
John doesnt even need to say anything to show us how he feels about the videos. His face while watching says it all 🤣
"I'm trembling with fear, let me get the camera and record everything because thats what scared people do" - every haunted house video
I just love how much fun it is to learn about how these things can be faked and still be able to ignore them and have fun watching spooky ghost videos as entertainment.
Just gotta say that I love the ghost debunking stuff and the AITA videos. Also love playthroughs of course.
I’m actually surprised he hasn’t played outlast trials yet
@@zepp3793 he did actually. He played it on his own last year. I'm sure you can look it up!
@@embassybeets that was actually the test release I believe, the actual game came out last Thursday 😅
@@zepp3793 it's only early access still so it hasn't been fully released yet. I think they said next month. Maybe he'll play it then. Idk
So you mean.. You love his videos?
“He chooses to live in fear.” I am 💀
I hope a romance blossoms between Jacob and Jeffrey, he could easily get rid of the doll but he refuses and in turn the clown only wants to get closer to him.
Imagine instead of staying fearful they develop a sort of friendship, It sounds like a set up for a stupid rom-com I'd watch
Now I want to see that movie. But only if A24 produces it.
Do you think there's already a fanfic of this?
Comming this summer "the fiddler diddler and Jacob"
I need this kind of content. I love how you pick these fake videos apart.
Ya know, a handful of horror games use the 'can only see ghosts via camera/photos' mechanics, but it'd be interesting to have a live feed/video where you interact with a friendly ghost through it. Basically what I'm saying is the story of the woman with the ball of light could have some neat story ideas. Too bad the clip itself wasn't much to talk about. >_>
_That_ would be cool. Prerecord something with "a ghost" then act like its live and you're interacting with it. Someone with some talent could even try to match up something like, say, a ball rolling in the main footage and into the frame of the prerecord footage (with the things they're watching the 'live footage' on blocking the ball, so it doesn't have to be exact except for where it rolls in) Might take a while to line that up right, but it'd be cool.
The camera moving back and forth with Jeffery is literally a set piece from Paranormal Activity 3 lol
Ransacking kitchen, opening fridge...dang all these ghosts are just hungry. And it always happened when the camera is moving away. The ghosts are so polite. Oh, lemme wait for you to turn before I move this piece of furniture 😂
So for the piano ghost i couldn't help but notice the wall with the crosses was yellow but every wall in dudes house is white and for the kitchen ghost i think the cut actually happens just before dude enters the bathroom he randomly closes the door and reopens it and if you watch life of luxury they use the swing of a door quiet often to hide cuts
I really love this series and I hope you keep doing it. I love watching reactions to these "supernatural" videos, but the only people who do them either overact or buy in 100% without questioning anything.
It's refreshing to watch someone watch them with a critical eye while still giving props to clever video tricks or concepts.
Hes so scared of Jeffery, that he locks himself in the room till daylight. I dont think daylight is gonna stop a haunting.
I love all this new content we’re getting. Of course I love watching John play horror games but watching him debunk “ghost” videos is hilarious.
The second I saw an electric keyboard in that one clip I knew it was fake. There are so many ways to make those look like a note is pressed. You can preprogram a note. Then if there’s a loose key then you can place it on a loose floorboard that would cause it to fall a bit and look like it’s being pressed.
Also if I was a ghost or demon I would not be limiting my activity to night time. All this “oh it only happens at night” is skeptical. They’re not vampires.
In case y’all were wondering, the reason the Spanish dude has such a strong fan is so he can create artificial wind for his indoor wind chimes hahaha
It's call latino dude
@@AgnesBooth-zu7tw ok bro. This was like a year ago. Who cares..
I feel bad for the doll. I find it to be cute and would have adopted it.
I love John's commentary on just moving Jeffrey to the basement lmao. If you're gonna keep him (maybe it's sentimental value or w/e), put bro in a bag or something. Get some old luggage and put him inside, why keep him sat around the house waiting to scare the crap out of you and guests? Or just throw him away like John said lmao.
“THROW JEFFREY INTO THE CITY DUMPPPPPP!” 😂😂😂😂😂💀💀 That one got me good, John!
Oh congratulations to you and kimmy on your little bundle of joy ❤ I'm so happy for you guys !
This! I was so excited to hear John mention their baby shower!
Congratulations, John (and Kimmy)! I hope you have a blast being parents!
I love watching your channel and all of the spooky ones. The latter the same reason someone would watch horror movies though, ofc.. lol I'm not a complete skeptic, I do have my own experiences, but I'm very skeptic with online videos. Especially the extreme ones where people are touched, scratched, pulled, things are thrown and moved, etc. Seeing your debunking process is weirdly calming?
John is making my days 100% better with those new contents! Absolutely loving this! Thank you and please don’t stop 😂❤
Man, I am loving these new videos! I hope this becomes a long series, but no pressure, any content is good content :)
I can't explain how bad these videos make me want to see John go to a haunted location.
I love the ghost videos I got to be honest. But I got to say I just stumbled on your channel John and this is the funniest ass s*** ever I am loving this so now I get to watch both at the same time
Before watching this video, I can 100% say I don't believe the Jeffrey doll moving is real, however it is creepy AF and the doll they chose was creepy AF. The part that tipped it was the camera that pans back and forth.. it felt very Paranormal Activity and I can never view panning cameras the same way again. lol.
It’s not as if the grandmother left a letter on how to take care of the doll. 😂 He should take it to a thrift store for donation!
John, I agree with you so much. I LOVE paranormal videos, mostly because 99% of them are so outrageously fake, and I enjoy the entertainment!
1. When we are actually truly scared, we DONT start huffing and puffing audibly, or saying shite like, omg I'm so scared! Instinct makes us pause. Makes us pretty much hold our breath while we strain to LISTEN!
2. It's amazing how steady these folks can hold that camera like it's their actual eyeballs, until it comes time for the cuts!! It drives me up the wall when they slowly creep up to a door and after the ridiculous narration and explanation as to why they are there, you see their hand slowly reach for the doorknob, then pause and pull back a tiny bit, then reach again and yank. 3. The 'ghost' is usually the Sadako or Kayako figures if a pale girl with long black hair in her face. Come-effing-on.
4. They either just completely avoid turning the lights on, or try just ONE switch to PROVE the lights are out. Really? REALLY?
5. Upon seeing said 'ghost' or whatever they immediately run and scream all while holding that camera pret-near steady AF. Like, immediately. Cuz they knew EXACTLY where to focus the tiny light they have.
6. Bish if this were actual fear, and you hear a noise first thought would be actual INTRUDER. WHY aren't they just calling the cops or getting a weapon? Or anything from a huge list I could type here but would take an ever longer ridiculous amount of time to type?
7. The only videos I question or happen to side with come from. Channels or whatever whose main focus is NOT the paranormal. When you are a ghost hunting channel or claim to live somewhere super haunted you've made that your thing! Every single video is super crazy cuz otherwise no one would gaf! I mean, I get it, it's entertainment, but it's ond of the most ANNOYING forms!
Anyways J, thanks for the content and commentary! I do enjoy watching you!
Haha I loved that you pointed out the walls that need to be repainted! 😂
I adore these so much. I enjoy these videos for fun, knowing they're fake, but I really love hearing your critical view on these: from sound clips to camera angles, it's actually really cool to learn some of this background set up
The orb in the child's room looks an awful lot like the dot of a laser pointer to me...🤔
I have woken up and heard strange noises and grabbed a knife before. I have never heard something weird and thought I should record this
Also, it's interesting that these people never have a gun or think of calling the police. "Ok guys, I heard several knockings on my bedroom wall that obviously are made by a person. Let me arm myself with my Iphone and go there alone".
@@luc.espargita 'never have a gun' fucking americans lol. maybe because some of us live in countries that value human lives over being able to have a silly little weapon that you can show off.
This man has to be the funniest /best Debunker on TH-cam! 😂
Honestly, I wouldn't be mad if John dedicated his entire channel to these ghost debunking videos lol.
I agree. My channel is completely dedicated to calling these hoaxes out as well
Not only debunking ghost videos but also roasting the houses😂😂
@@Zaneyy030 Same. If John's a-roastin'... I'm a-watchin'!
The orb looked like a laser pointer.
I'm going to be honest. I don't usually like it when a gaming youtuber branches out and does side stuff like this.
BUT. BUT...I'm loving this.
Love the debunking but honestly, this doll terrifies me. I would NOT have it in my house.
The time thing?? I understand that completely. If something happens, the first thing I do is note the time it happened.
It's a real thing. And yes, I have multiple clocks and watches near my bed.
Gotta say I do love that your AITA and debunking videos are some of my favorite content that's crossed my dash lately!
I originally subscribed for the Resident Evil playthroughs coz nobody I know likes them so good to know people like them as much as I do - but these videos are comedy gold, love it! Keep erm coming.
thanks for putting the red circle in the thumbnail john, how else would i know what i am supposed to look at! always doing the upmost for us😊
My Aunts "husband" use to own a house that the oldest record they could find was from 1902, that was not when it was built. This house was amazing, 3 stories and a basement, side porch with balcony above. It even had a servant staircase and bathroom, and a carriage house. I loved going over there, even though "it was haunted". I never once saw anything even remotely paranormal in that house. The scariest thing in the house was a humongous fan at the bottom of the basement stairs, that as a kid, I was always afraid would suck me in and kill me. It was pretty much just an attic fan but in the basement. Unfortunately the owner was hoarder and extreme cheapskate, so the house ended up getting seized by the state because of the condition and back taxes owed on the property. He could have put like 50K into the house and sold it for 500K-750K. It was a historical house that was across the street from Loose Park where a major part of the Battle of Westport took place, and he pretty much wiped his ass on it and threw it away, because he wouldn't fix property the right way or clean and pay the taxes on it. It was sad to lose one of my favorite places to go as a kid, now I can't even visit, I can only look from the sidewalk.
The greatest mysteries of all is why the owners never burnt/destroy their haunted objects instead continuing to live with it until they cried out it hurt his/her family. Indeed a mystery
What really stuns me is that while many "ghost hunters" and "spiritualists" do make good arguments as to why sceptics will never believe them, they sure as hell dont put in much effort, while oddly doing some things to the extreme. For example, that clock showing thing is weirdly effective and that guy also showed us stuff actually moving on its own. But then he forgets to redecorate his house and has movie posters up that dont fit his character and the "ransacked" kitchen looks like someone really didn't want to break stuff around his house. Imagine him really going all in and fixing those mistakes, it would still be of highly questionable believability but it would at the very least be creepy and a good hoax.
Or that clown doll. I mean, that house looks properly haunted and the doll ks sufficiently old and creepy looking. Those sound effects are scary. But then the dolls movement isn't shown. Imagine if we heard those sounds, he quickly looks that way, spins back and we see the head slowly turn before the door slams shut. Still easily to spot as a hoax, I mean, I'd even know how to do it, but it'd still be pretty creepy.
Or how about those spiritualist from that other video? They clearly had a few pretty elaborate things with them and thoroughly prepared themselves... but then they showed gaps in their abilities, slipped up a few times and went a bit too far out of the realm of reason with their stuff. For example, imagine them being more transparent, telling the people they have their data from signing into the house. And then imagine them explaining what their devices do better and leaving the dumb dog haunting thing out of it. It would be ten times scarier! So still nlt very creepy but at least better. They came so overprepared, that it even kinda sucked to see them so easily debunked.
Assuming it's not a pure fake, I have ONE possible explanation for why the guy who had the Jeffrey doll doesn't throw it out:
Remember, it previously belonged to his late grandmother. Perhaps the idea is that, however creepy it is, it's still a memento to someone long passed, and keeping it is like keeping a part of them.
Admittedly it's not a GOOD explanation, but it is one.
my thought was, he knew it was haunted and wanted to get recordings of it and thats why he kept it. Still firmly believe its fake and if that was the actual case he wouldn't be so freaked out about whats going on with it. Also with this kind of shit most of the backstories are just completely made up, he probably just found it somewhere and thought "hey, this looks creepy as shit. I could probably get a friend and get viral off this"
@@xtimes2 That's possible too.
It *allegedly* belonged to his "late grandmother". Remember, never take what these jokers say seriously
@@badwulff Honestly its not that crazy to think someone inherited a creepy home and doll from their dead grandma and decided to turn it into a fake paranormal series on the internet
@@rattoota It's not out of the question, sure, but for these "paranormal" videos I always start with the assumption that the creator lies about pretty much everything (because they generally do)
The boys livestreaming and the camera wasn't even on them, i definitely love watching the ceiling of live streamers living rooms and also love that i can't see the game they're playing at all. Good livestream.
John is one of the funniest and most entertaining youtubers i’ve ever come across. he actually makes me enjoy my time and be focussed on his videos
ghost seem to only like to break my stuff and waste water and power
Thanks for the vid John. I usually watch these bs ghost/spooky videos with the same attitude, so it's cool to see these pop up here on the channel 👍
I love how considerate ghosts are. They may make a mess of your home, but never one that will be too much of a pain to clean up later.
John mocking bad ghost videos is my new favorite genre
I like watching his videos at half speed because it brings comforting memories of my drunk college roommate yelling at bad movies.
I love that this guy, who is supposedly terrified of the doll, not only has the doll next to his bedroom but has it sitting in the middle of the floor? Facing his bedroom?? That’s clearly set up for the ~spooky~ video
Also didn't know you were doing these types of videos and I have to say I love it!
Thank you for this series! Listening to your comments is the best! 😂❤
I’m here because I watch these horrible ghost videos a lot to laugh at them. The algorithm finally pumped you into my feed because you do the same thing and I’m so glad I’m not alone.
Here's a list of things ghosts/demons love: tossing one thing at the wall, making a little knock or two, kitchen cabinets, cups, pack of plastic spoons, getting silly in kitchens in general probably, stomping, dragging something light a short distance, breakingglass.wav, shoving, shouting from the next room, blowing gently on windchimes, possessing dolls, opening or closing doors that are slightly ajar, unintelligible mumbling, reenacting horror movie tropes, clout. I'm learning so much about ghost hobbies but I'm starting to suspect the afterlife is really boring.
List of things they hate: the Matrix movie.
Not on twitter so I totally missed the baby announcement but congrats to you and Kimmy! 🎉❤
Check out his feed sometime. Right now they're vacationing with Dom & Hayden - the photos of mountains and canyons are gorgeous but not half as cute as Kimmy's bellah!🤗
(the breakfast shots are killing me though, lol.)
Yk this is quite interesting these 2 channels are interacting in a way, I've been watching John for years!
I am literally John when I'm sat with my partner while she's watching Ghost Adventures 😂😂😂
The orb looks like an infrared laser. You can't see it with your eyes but any camera can
John… make your own ghost video or recreate one with the basic common items: fishing line and one unseen friend. I know it’ll be the best of the best. 😂
I think the entire Jeffry arc because its literally just a constant realization of "This guy chooses to live like this"
In the polish apartment one - there is such thing called a “three-way” switch where a light can be controlled by two separate switches at two separate locations LOL. So, with the lights going out down the hall, you can see one switch at the far end near the light that goes out - then later, you can see the other switch down the other side of the hallway he clearly pressed when showing the lights going out lol.
