  • my poop moves by itself!

  • I would like to know what the light source is that's up behind there and shifts to the left. Obviously trickery. After watching this video, it is pretty plain to see that the chair does not ever move, only the light source shifting in the background. Ghost Hunters have set back paranormal research 100 years with their staged evidence.

  • I got real ghost evidence of a chair moving by itself. Not only that, it happens barely at 8pm with the lights on and with people moving by it!

  • Yes, it's FAKE. GH is FAKE. See my debunk of this episode & all the others. G is the creator or producer of all things fake. They've been faking since season one, episode one.

  • I'm all about the debunking. Though, here I think you've stretched a bit. The light movement could possibly be a light that automatically changes. My motion sensor at home does it. I've seen thermostats do it. There are lots of explanations. And for a room that dark, the camera will of course be trying to focus on the most significant sources of light available.

  • the sound before the crash didn't sound quite like the crash without the echo, but more like the chair scraping slightly on the floor. The rest of it I agree with. If it moved it either went closer or further away from the camera and there would be no cause for that prolonged crash.

  • Commandos, of an opposing view board a ship, in international waters , forcing its crew to port in their controlled waters,- wait isnt that piracy? If it was off the coast of africa it would be called piracy.if it was off the coast of cuba it would be an attack. moreover; the violence was justified by the presence non existent auto matic weapons, poles and chairs

  • the production light was definately moved...that means that someone else was up there fiddling with it..human explained phenonema

  • The light that moves is a flashlight or a small production light used to help reflect light on the stairs and as Grant goes down the steps he may have bumped it or the stairs ,may have been a bit unstable and Grant walking caused it to move... I know that much.

  • wow great job

  • THIPS are the real ghost hunters . Everyone wants to be like them , they even call themselves things like TAPS to try to bite their style .

  • u cant see it very good

  • Debunking at its best.

  • great explanation... absolutelly correct... fake as a Milly Vanilly...

  • 9 seconds is long

    how far can he walk within 9 seconds?

    and the stairs lead him to downstairs so prob he didnt hear it

    and it SOUNDED like the chair DID move

    even though it didnt LOOK like it did

    and how can the light reflect that much till its so bright?

    good try though, got me thinking through much

  • good eyes im like looking and im like ok? then u point it out and there you go thanks

  • Eventually, the tension overcomes the slight "step" and the whole thing "pops" together, sometimes jumping. This is exactly what I saw happening. It's happened to me plenty of times. Case solved.

  • This causes some floorboards to be a little higher than their neighbors.

    When you sit in the chair, the legs spread out past these little "steps" and the webbing is in tension from your weight. Then, when you stand up, the bottoms of the legs of the chairs try to come back together. But if something like a slightly uneven floorboard is in the way, it will be caught and the legs will be held apart in tension.

  • I happened to watch this episode, and there is actually a quite simpler explanation. I have actually had this happen to me multiple times with this type of chair!

    The chair is one of those folding type with fabric webbing between supports. When you sit on it, the whole thing is in tension, and the legs spread out under this tension. Now, with wooden floors, especially ones in old attics or in houses without temperature control, the floorboards will become somewhat irregular over time.

  • In trying to click on the seek bar, I accidentally rated this video 2 stars.

    Just letting everyone know, so they can fix it.

  • Very good! De bunked!

  • WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • at the very end they say that the kight caused the reflection but the chair would have gotten the reflection a full second or two earlier

  • this is what i wanna know

    where the hell is the light coming from that reflects on the side of the chair..

    this is obviously a hoax

  • you know the sound is to make it stand out more

  • I think you are getting too technical with this. It's very easy to do the same trick with a piece of string. It's a very old and basic magic trick and I've been able to debunk similar incidents involving the same basic setup. For a reference, try looking at some of the Ghost Adventures stuff. They are very low fi and simple with their trickery. Good job with everything though.

  • Theres some other videos showning how Grant could have done it but this one I tink is how it actually happend. The chair simply didnt move. Just sound effects and weird light refection.

  • Actually, I'd like to thank the poster of this video. I had been doubting it before, but this video actually helped me PROVE it. Look at 2:16. Notice the position of BOTH the cross sections. The one in the back behind the arrow, the other at the point. Now look at 2:19. See how the other cross section is now almost directly behind the front cross section? This proves that the chair did in fact move. As to the "softer, shorter" scuffing before? Its because the chair moves 2times. Can't tell here.

  • Not that this really matters, I still like the show and I will continue to watch it, but....no I don't think the chair moved at all. What it looks like to me is a play on light, someone is sitting off camera with a flashlight....and the light on the stairs is another flashlight that is sending 'queues' to the person in the room......

  • thank you

  • too dark and pixellated for any credibility anyway

  • this crap really has got me laughing , damn i need to get in this racket! i did;nt think there were that many idiots out there untill i saw obama get elected!

  • This one is a tough call, there seems to be something fishy with the light, and since ghosthunters has faked at least 3 other events, their reputation isn't very respectable.

  • hey u do realize that the sound wasnt as dramatic as that in real life the sound was added in to make it more interesting they didnt add that in to fake it they do that with everything

  • guitarfreak

    Anything paranormal should be shown unaltered and unedited, and the moment something in this field has been edited or altered then it loses all credibility

  • ya i understand where you're coming from but you gotta remember this is a television show they have to make it more interesting to keep an audience even if that means exaggerating it a little and you gotta think how often they catch stuff like this so when they do catch something that gotta make it big and dramatic

  • my friend

    i love this show ..but quite clearly your are correct...this is bogus..when i saw this first i immediatley noticed the light moving...obviously reflecting to another light source behind the camera we are watching ..then moving it along the chair thus tricking us into believing it moved

    good debunk though

  • One thing with regards to the position of the chair not appearing to move as it still fits within your parallel lines... Could this because the chair is actually moving closer to the camera? This would also account for why there is now light illuminating it as it is moving closer to the light source of the camera.

  • climbingcamel Yes possibly, the poor lighting makes it difficult but one must consider all tangible possibilities, thanks for your input.

  • i was thinkin the same thing. maybe some of the light movement could be the camera auto focusing, not as much as it moved at the end though?

  • ok well the thing is this place is said 2 b haunted by a smart ghost maybe it cant c with out light moves light or as the ghost moves it htis light by mistake and wouldnt grant need MORE light then that and still he isnt that slick 2 sneek by that ez

  • Try again in english?

  • i figured that out the fisrt time i seen it lol

  • 1. Well it could have been the camera ajusting.

    2. The scuffling sound could very well be a ghost walking. After all you cant push something if you can't reach it.

    3. That could just be the crappy work of the camera or audio.

    4. Sound was probably edited so that you can hear it better. They are able to do that you know.

    5. Again. They probably did some editing so you can hear it. Besides he could have gotten far enough in 9 seconds. Or he could just have some hearing problem.

  • how do you know that a ghost has to be next to something to push it?

  • One more thing that I couldn't fit in the first comment.

    Someone asked about why it seems they find so many things that could be viable evidence in each investigation while most people need to investigate multiple times to obtain the same amount of evidence.

    There's two possible explanations. One, they hoax it all. Two, they don't show every investigation they do on TV, only the more interesting ones. In one of the first episodes Jason says they investigate 3-4 nights a week.

  • I have the DVD's of the full first season and on one of them has the uncut, unedited moving chair scene. Thought I don't know why the light moves you can tell on a DVD quality video that the chair does in fact move. As for the long echo sound, that was indeed a sound effect used to enhance the evoking of fear or excitement from viewers and is not in the uncut version.

    Also, in the uncut version the chair moves a full minute after Grant leaves. They shortened the video for the reveal.

  • The drawn-out echo is merely Sci-Fi's audio tampering... they added a horror movie "sting" at that point, like always.

  • wow good vid very logical but i dont believe these guys r hoaxers i am sort of dismissing all of ur points and notes as co- incidence and can't be judged because of poor camera quality and simply we weren't there and they were but i cannot dismiss the fact that the light moves to the left it is very interesting and i cant come up with any excuse 4 that lol

  • wow dude....

    you must really have nothing better to do

  • yeah i noticed that light move too but i didnt think much of it till now when it actually turns directly at the chair

  • if those guys aint faking.. there fucking are ghost for real in fucking everywhere :P (or ufos or sumthing but anyway) ..and if those guys do fake..their doing it about godlike way. those 2 guys brian and andy are so excited and real about it..theres a proof in their face.

  • ya, they could be doing it just to make a buck, but who knows

  • Very interesting! and good eye! thanks for sharing

  • Meh... i believe (in my own personal opinion, not trying to "offend" anyone here) you guys should watch the show only as that... as a "show", as a good show, but no as the real thing, it´s pretty obvious that some events are somewhat staged, so...

    Whatever. I watch Ghost Hunters because i find it amusing, i like it... not because "is real" or something.

  • They may stage some events (such as that woman walking in from the street to talk to Donna about her haunted home); but TAPS has *NEVER*, and I repeat, *NEVER* knowingly faked evidence. Besides the fact, when they did find out that evidence was faked on two occasions, they made a fool out of the hoaxers on national TV... they wouldn't do that to themselves.

  • which episodes and what scenes?

  • Uh... let me think. There were two were they exposed a hoax - the Queen Mary (a hotel on a ship), and a restaurant in, I think, season 4. The restaurant was *awful*... the owner faked everything for publicity, then laughed in TAPS' faces. Totally shameless.

  • haha thanks!

  • the second part in your more info is the chair being moved not once but twice, it was moved the first time very little, and the second was the longer more louder movement

  • Hmm I like the show but you bring up good points. If they are hoaxers they are very very good at it.. having some friends who investigate paranormal.. what surprises me is that they go a dozen times and maybe get a few pieces of evidence.. ghost hunters get like a few every single show they do which I find is a bit much.. only thing i can say is that maybe the room with the chair was really old/empty/quiet so the echo seems legit.. but I wonder about the other points you made, makes you think..

  • Thanks for your well said comments, very much appreciated.

  • I think you have way too much time on your hands.

  • So, do you think that Ghost Hunters fakes stuff on their shows? Or is some of it real?If this video is a fake and that chair didn't really move, they must be making it up then. If that's true, then that sucks. I trusted Jason & Grant's opinions and trusted that they were being truthful. :(

  • I will upset some diehard Ghost Hunters fans but here goes, first of all this video, this I believe is fake, there is just too much that doesn't quite fit. I don't think the chair moves, but even if it did move it was only a small amount, and there is way to much noise for a small movement and an amazing amount of echo that didn't seem apparent at any other time there plus the smaller similar scuffing sound just prior to the loud sound, it sounded a bit manufactured to me,

  • where did the light that illuminates the chair come from, if it was there all the time then there should be some illumination from it, be it on the floor or wall, also they used a very poor camera and lighting for what they were trying to do, they were never going to capture much, most of the room is in darkness and the camera had a very poor field of view, either a better IR camera or additional lighting was needed for any chance of authenticity.

  • Now onto the program itself, ultimately Ghost Hunters is a TV program, it is for entertainment value, some of it may be real, only they know for sure if some of it is real, some parts I simply can't say either way, other parts you become immediately suspicious about and I am not always convinced the way they do things,

  • the moving ball at Waverly Hills for example (which is on YouTube) where it is suggested the ball moves, the only visual evidence of the ball moving was the movement of the shadow, yet it was lit by a hand held light, I find that very unprofessional, in situations like that a fixed camera and light has to be used if it ever going to be taken seriously, someone holding the camera and light is just not on as the shadow will move when he moves.

  • As for Jason and Grant, I would not be too hard them or the other investigators, they are doing their job as realistically they are employees, the producers and TV network would ultimately have control over the show and what goes into it and they are far better than that other show Most Haunted, which generally comes across as very fake. Don't assume its all real, but don't assume its all fake either, make your own judgement on what you see and not what they tell you.

  • Thanks for your answers! I have heard others say that they think Ghost Hunters is faked. I have always thought that Jason & Grant were honest and on the level, but now I'm not so sure anymore. I will continue to watch Ghost Hunters, but now I'll watch with a different frame of mind.

  • all the points u have come up with i fully believe. i have thought about the exact points u have written down before seeing this video so its good to know there are other ppl out their rightfully analysing the vids. good stuff mate!

  • I really liked how you investigated this footage. I am curious to know, what was the source of the light after the investigator left. They really should have looked into that footage further, they way you did.

    Nice job.

  • There are many unanswered questions, even those who believe it moves should ask where did the light that illuminates the chair come from, if the light was there it should be seen, be it on the floor or the wall, so where does it come from, it cant be the light source that moves because its there all the time and it moves before the illumination of the chair, there are a fewlittle things that just don't fit...thanks for your comments

  • Look at the back cross section of the legs after the chair moved to before. The legs are not behind the front cross-section from before (at 2:16) but when it moves the back cross-section of the legs are moved behind the front cross-section of the legs (2:18).

  • That's the way that it appears, it suggests the chair turns placing the back cross section just behind the front cross section, but if that happened either the left or right extremity of the chair should change and the front cross section X should become wider (if you look at a 3 dimensional object and rotate it, it becomes wider and narrower as it turns) but none of this happens, I know it is difficult to see the left side, it lost a bit of light quality in the Youtube format.

  • I believe the 2 illuminated cross sections may be a light reflection of the wall behind giving an illusion of 2 cross sections and the actual cross section is silhouetted in front of the light, these illuminated cross sections also appear thicker than the actual cross section that we see when the torch illuminates the chair it at the start. Thanks for your comments. I like good common sense rational debate on it, thank you.

  • Honestly, it's too dark to really tell what's going on. Why don't ghosts do more stuff in broad daylight?

  • Yes, dark, grainy and pixilated videos are the only type ghosts like to appear in.

    And that's another problem with this video, the camera's field of view is poor and was never going to pick up much really.

  • I do see your point about the sound of the chair and the suspicious light sources. I noticed the shifting light, too, the first time I watched it.

  • The illumination is an IR illuminator.
