  • were not able to. Some may be frauds but I think this method can work.

  • Although there are some things I am skeptical on from TV shows, I have had success with the flash light when it comes to communicating with Spirits. I have been on several investigations where this method worked. Unlike the guy above, his just flashes at random times. The footage I caught, the flash light was sitting for over an hour without turning on. As soon as we started asking questions, it responded intelligently every time and turned it on or off on command. We tried to debunk but

  • Why is everyone out to try and convince people The Ghost Hunters are frauds? Not like the actual TAPS team cares. If they were really as fake as everyone seems to think they are, they wouldn't have such a successful show.

  • Never forget: This is the science FICTION channel. That will always be their defense.

  • maybe the production crew is doing it for ratings,many times the investigators are unaware of the hoax or are pressured into going along with it..basically you want the money you do what we want..anyways its an entertaining show :)

  • So why does your flashlight, which you are not manipulating or handling at all, move by itself just before A)The flashlight does in fact come on 1:39 OR B)The flashlight coming on would prove this point that there are no parlor tricks going on here 2:50. The fact of the matter is, TAPS never uses the flashlight method as a legitimate form of proof that a location is "haunted." Just the same as they never use a conversation with the K2 meter. You are a loser with too much time on your hands.

  • Now, if it starts spinning, that would be a great parlor trick.

  • It didn't come on when you told it to. ... and how exactly does this "prove" TAPS is using some "parlor trick" ?? Nice try, but you get a D-

  • 1:39 ghost shows him whats up

  • I like your table.

  • when THEY do it, it goes on and off much more rapidly, certainly more than just twice in 4 minutes.

  • Funny thing is, the ghost hunters team tried this tonight, and it went over well with people. But I knew it was fake. what gave it away was, they left a "hot zone" to go to another room, and the flash lights were just randomly going on and off. It all is staged thats for sure. I watch it plainly for the entertainment value, and the happy feeling when I can yell BULLSHIT!! Big stress reliever!

  • Gh has got to stop doing this test. I've duplicated it many times with the same same mini mag lites sitting at my desk at work.

    STOP USING THIS TEST... IT PROVES NOTHING

  • I can do the same thing with my dick.

  • @Sk8terGatorz You mean you can turn it on and it will light up a room?

  • @Sk8terGatorz you can make your dick light up, too?? lol

  • Why don't someone buy a "real" haunted house and rig every room with cameras that run all time, use all the energy pumps that help the ghosts manifest, and do some serious scientific research? Why run all over the world and devote a few hours to a place in hopes that a ghost will decide to show? Why go to HUGE factories? Debunking noises in them are impossible?A meduim sized house could easily be monitored and the noises could be debunked, and experiments could be done in a controled setting.

  • It's not so much a creating evidence as it is usesing clever editing to have the falshlight go on and off "on command" . If you watch yo'll notice that every flashligh scene is heavly cut, and I bet each question is asked over and over until the light just happens to pop on at the right time.

  • Ghost Hunter does suck and it is fake but Ghost Adventures are just as bad asking for tapping on the walls from ghost and all of a sunden it happens this is bull shit but just like some one else said atlest ghost adventures is a bit more watchable because of the stupid shit they do and there always picking on the fat guy funny to watch

  • @SuperJg31 If you dont believe in teh paranormal then i sugest you go out and try it, get a voice recorder and see what you get. I guarantee you will be amazed and you will have a new outlook on things

  • your stupid ass voice makes me want to believe in ghosts.

  • yeah. shut up asshole

  • the flashlight is rocking on the table therefore it is being manipulated by something in the room. so STFU.

  • Ghost Hunter use to be legit, but then they started using "parlor tricks" methods. They tried to pass off someone tugging on a coat, but it was so tricked up that they later cam back and said that it was something wrong with the coat. I knew they "jumped the shark" when they started using that stupid light box. And what it with bringing their dog. They are ruining it for those of us trying to use scientific methods to approve/disprove.

  • @scrapbabee Yea they used alot of creative editing to make it seem like they were getting evidence when in fact they just edited in a scene from earlier when someone was there, or a sound was made, making it seem like everything was happening at that specific point and time. They got cought because of the sloppy editing (clocks showing a different time, curtains being pulled back then showing up in another scene closed, ect) and now aren't as bad, but they are very boring!

  • if you think ghost adventures is less fake you gotta be an idiot. i know ghosts are real.i don't need proof on some stupid tv show, but i still like to watch them for the history of the buildings.it does make me angry that they have to fake stuff though. ghosts are not gonna show up when you want , it's own their own time. eventually you'll catch something.

  • There's so many things that prove Ghost Hunters is fake.. It obviously is thats why i dont watch it. I watch Ghost Adventures! -3

  • im a paranormal investigator and we tested a flash light like that one and if u twist it just right it flick just like it. so fake

  • Well maybe there's an actual ghost in your house and you are just talking there like an idiot... ???

  • Recreate the flickering then I will believe you. Right now I don't believe you anymore than Ghosthunters.

  • It's all fake people. It's the entertainment industry and you are supporting by watching these programs!

  • Looks like a fan is blowing on it. If you look closely at the flashlight it appears to be gently rocking. You did prove that it can come on and off but it appears to me that the flashlight still has to be manipulated in a manner to do so. Just an observation.

  • It's working for ya ..hey mate! Fucking douche!

  • What if its a ghost doing that....OMG.

  • your a fraud

  • how do you know there isn't paranormal activity in that room? ;-)

  • Fail. It takes a full minute after you ask it to turn on to do so. Plus, to be scientific about this, you would first have to prove your claim that nothing out of the ordinary is controlling the flashlight. Which, as you may know, is just about as easy as proving that there IS something paranormal in the room.

  • i like the table

    

  • wtf is this?

  • It's ur abuela trying to male contact with u!!!! Lmao!!!

  • Ghost hunters is a fraud.

  • GH , GA, ALL Fake. Don't thinks o. Watch the debunks on my channel & you'll think again...that it's ALL fake.

  • I don't doubt there are times this is the case. Problem is, as someone else pointed out, getting lucky and having it come on at the right time doesn't explain how it turns on and off at the count of three or turns on and off to give the same answer to the same question. And I'm not saying that just from what I've seen on the show, I have actually done this before. It's also obvious when the light actually turns all the way on and turns all the way off and when it just fades out.

  • This guy is a liar, his dead,ghost friend is obviously turning on and off the mag-light for him. Way to go hogging all of the paranormal activity to yourself. Next time you try to use scientific logic and reasoning use formulas and stuff instead of tricking the poltergeists in your house to do your bidding. You should be ashamed.

  • @leelyon4321  hahaha legend!!

  • @leelyon4321 fail....

  • This guys retarded. Stand the flashlight up right if you don't believe it. Someone is trying to get in touch with you dude, wake up. I had my three mini maglites set up for a week and they never flashed at all during the daytime. But as soon as the sun went down they started flickering whenever I thought about them. And would flash answers to my ?s.My wife had two mini maglites flickering to Walk Like An Egyptian while she was listening to the radio.That was her cousins fav song before he died.

  • wtf??? it stops at 1:01!!! >:(

  • Okay, make it go off on command. Then have it go on at the count of three.

    Then do it with an Inova toggle switch on the floor! I have the same model light that was used in one of the first shows, and there's no way it can happen. On some shows the cast has actually turned the flash head making it more difficult to turn on and off. It's good to be skeptical, but you haven't really proved it.

    BTW, they shouldn't use MagLites. They're horrible.

  • @MuzzleBlast357 I've been using MagLites for almost 15 years....I've always loved them..I actually dropped my big one(4 cell)off of a pier and into a lake one night...The water was WAY too cold to go hunting for it then...I waited a couple of months for it to warm up and went wading and found it...pushed the switch and BAM....the light came right back on....still using it to this day, that was about 9 years ago...I love them!

  • How do you know there's no ghosts in your living room? Huh? This is a very non-scientific experiment. You need to go somewhere where you're certain there's no ghosts or else you lack a control.

  • Geeez Why do they do things like that? I knew it was fake. Thank you

  • Making the thing so sensitive that the barest touch lights it is the oldest trick in the book. All they have to do is tap the floor to set it off. FRAUD!

  • its just going off by vibration.I stioped waching the show when i saw thw coler tug.

  • Yes, it's fake. It works better if you if you keep the flashlight in a cold place and then bring it into a warm indoor spot and let it warm up. (metal expansion).

  • I think it might work better on command if you slightly bump the table. Of course you can use their technique. Just keeping talking until it answers an apparent question, that way you can avoid taking endless takes until you get lucky.  On the other hand, maybe there is a ghost in your room there and he's trying to convince us he doesn't exist. Nah, its probably only a magical elf. They're all tricksters, just like Jason and Grant.

  • I'm not saying that TAPS isn't just getting randomness from the flashlight, but I have seen a couple episodes where the camera zooms in and you can see the bell of the flashlight turning different directions...How do you explain that?

  • Do you think this is conscious fraud or apaphenia?

  • I agree. They are turning a flashlight into a defective piece of equipment. I totally agree.

  • Maybe there's a ghost in your room :p
