Scifake team debunks Savannah Cemetery Ghost Video

[GGBundy]

It does look like it could bee moss. But it never fails, there's ALWAYS somebody there to try to disprove everything.

[livefreealws]

@scifake firstly i thought that it is a real ghost. But now after watching this video many times it is clear to me that it is not a ghost. Thanks for ur very good explanation. This video is fake. But it does not mean that ghosts do not exist.

[breyerlvrsunited]

I think it's real no matter what anybody says.

[breyerlvrsunited]

I think it's real...

[ChamorritaLuv21]

Does anyone notice at 0:57-1:00 when man and woman are walking into frame from the right side, the 3rd person in the white hoodie appears right behind the man after he's in in camera view and you dont see the 3rd person walking into camera view with them....

[mystess30]

okay..so explain to me how the kid jumped into the tree. if u watch the video they played thru the news they zoom in so you can see ajchild figure jump into the tree..? im not saying i believe in ghosts or anything, id like to know what ur explanation is for a whole human shaped body to jump up that high.

[OSBehind2010]

5:39 pm on 12/31  ?

It would be pitch black outside already.....

[greatape1970]

Jesse's video is very real.I guess the one who pulls moss out of the tree,threw moss up in the tree when the kid leaps in there.the kid with the hoodie walking with the man and woman is taller than the child running who is smaller than the headstone.if you dont believe then pause your uploaded video at 1:49 at you will clearly see the kid with the white hoodie walking on the path with the man and woman.just because you are not a believer dont me that everbody is.

[Tubaleer]

 Maybe you should have looked at the 1080p original version, instead of the 240p posted on Youtube. It might better explain why the experts couldn't resolve things. The other video showed Jesse, his mother, infant sister, stroller, and other sister at the entry to the cemetery. The two women are wearing the same clothes, and the stroller is identical, so you have to conclude Jesse was taking pictures of his family walking down the path, and just happened to catch something in the distance.

[itscodyw]

no i think you are just trying to find an explanation becaused you dont understand what this really is if its a flag it wouldnt be gray and the personds hands would not be gray either.

[voglbop]

The creepy part for me is the movement upwards (roughly at 0:59 in this video clip). It doesn't look normal the way it appears the kid (or something) is leaping up onto the tree. Very hard to tell, could just be an illusion caused by distance and lighting. Still, creepy effect.

[stayAU]

I can see a child sitting in the stroller already. If you are going to debunk someone the least you can do is post other opinions.

[stayAU]

Plus you don't let your children run all over peoples graves THAT is a BIG NO NO in the south. Its about showing respect for the dead. People would most defineately be watchful of that kind of nonsense.

[stayAU]

And people don't stand in a cemetary waving flags its disrespectful, some cemetaries are cared for by volunteers and they do that on a week end in groups. Besides in the lower left there is something walking out from behind that grey tombstone then disappears how is that a hoax when all they are talking about is the child. And the people walking are oblvious. Parents don't walk and ignore their kids.

[stayAU]

Dude people in Savannah Georgia do not pull the moss from their trees. It takes years for that stuff to grow. Savannah is famous for its mossy trees. You're obviously a yank =D.

[laredo444]

or its a ghost

[Nevawake]

yeah i did see someone pulling down something. PROOVEN FAKE GHOST VIDEO TO ME!

[acton220]

jessee and his family r just looking for attention---thanks for pointing out the visual facts -- I believe there r supernatural forces ----this is not on of them.

[roachman1979]

whoever is debunking this video missed the fact that a KID IN WHITE is already with couple with stroller. continue watchin couple and you'll see that whoever is runnin to jump in tree IS NOT fast enuff to cover 10-15 ft in split second. video may be real/fake but cover ALL evidence and dont get tunnel vision before u slap someones experience.

[renski336]

LOL, OK! You debunging ghost, you also then debung energy and that means also yourself. Cause we all are made of the energy. And I find people stupid to believe there is nothing else in this world but people and the race on this planet called Earth. The rest of Universe is just simple nothing

[Xtronticus]

Are people really so gullible?

Just because some figures walk through a cemetary, and it must be a ghost. Oh wow ho.

[Nightwinds]

Theres nothing to prove that it actually is a ghost. Great job debunking this obvious hoax.

[TheKalypso72]

Its not paranormal that was the same kid walking beside than man at the end of that video.

[brono25]

You guys are all morons. This is obviously an escaped genetic experiment.

The government has created a human child kangaroo hybrid. Its obviously been caught on camera fleeing from its creators.

oh wow, you can just make up any shit and its just as plausible as the ghost assertion. yay pseudo science.

[bigdavmac1]

i dont see it that way i think its a bird or squirrell jumping into the tree first then a cat leaps from a headstone and takes it down thats my take on it one things for sure it ai'nt no ghost.

[nemohee]

To add to my comment - upon re-watching your video, you yourself notice the child in the hoodie - and yet still point her out as the possible running child. Is this a typographical error on your part, or am I not seeing the child that you claim the man is waiting for?

[nemohee]

The kid in the hoodie (which you point out as the probable "running child" from earlier) is already in the frame, walking next to the man, when the figure drops out from the tree. Thus, I do not think the child from earlier was the same kid. This is not intended to debunk your entire argument, just pointing out what I feel is an inaccuracy in your observations. Perhaps the figure that is falling is moss, but now we have to ask - where did the child from earlier in the clip actually go?

[SoapClawtooth]

The thing clearly has arms and legs.

You're either blind or you're an idiot. I can't decide which.

[XXchelseaXXinXXloveX]

@SoapClawtooth ha yea. youre too funny!

[XXchelseaXXinXXloveX]

I'm sorry but I find your explanation simply ridiculous. Jesse Greathouse is my cousin. Who would be waving a flag around in a cemetary? And if it is a man pulling down moss... where does he go? There is a few seconds before Jesse moves the camera and I dont see any more movement from the "man or woman". And why would they be pulling down the spanish moss? The whole town is covered in it. Why would they pull it off the tree? I don't understand this explanation at all.

[scifake]

@XXchelseaXXinXXloveX I appreciate the questions. If you look closely you can see the arm (flag, rake) etc and a human hand. Here's are some questions. Why is Jesse the only person responding to this kid running? After all, there's no one else locked on to this kid running! Why did Jessie focus in on this kid? How can Jessie tell it's a kid in the tree at that distance? Sorry, not paranormal ..but a great attempt.

[XXchelseaXXinXXloveX]

@scifake you do not see any "arm" until the "ghost" jumps up into the tree & after it falls down & dissapears you dont see it again.& why would someone be raking down spanish moss when its all over the city? have you ever been there?They tell you not to touch it b/c it has chiggers.& not everyone can see paranormal so thats possibly why noone was reacting to the child.& who wouldnt focus on the kid? hes in one of the most haunted places in america and the kid looks completely white/gray.no color

[TheKalypso72]

@XXchelseaXXinXXloveX I'm sorry but that's not a ghost It might be one of the most haunted locations but really that man waited on his child and walked on with the kid. Just because you have a camcorder in your hand does not make you an expert on the paranormal.

[Jigsaw2383]

@scifake your life is just fucked up thats all

[Egyptmania3000]

@XXchelseaXXinXXloveX don't mind fakesci or scifake or whatever the fuck their name is. they never explain anything or watch anything properly. there was another vid they made about ghost adventures. calling them fake cuz they escaped from a 2nd floor fire escape. u should check it out: "Ghost Adventures Lying Again?Sources tell us yes!!!" and read the comments. mine is there and its funny how they can't "explain" themselves for their fuck up and can't admit to it.

[scifake]

@Egyptmania3000 Kiss off Bitch!

[Egyptmania3000]

@scifake that's the best retort u can come up? the only thing fake here is u and u know it otherwise u'd have MUCH more intelligence than u do. like i said b4 don't try to outsmart me cuz u'll lose. and also like i said b4 that i have to kind of agree with u on this vid but its not fake. just misidentified by thousands. its not a rake or moss but a palm tree branch. yes palm trees do grow down there. take a look at the vid again and try to outsmart me this time.

[wdharvey1]

@XXchelseaXXinXXloveX What? You've NEVER noticed the TOURISTS who pull down moss wanting to take some of it home? The explanation is VERY plausible. Not only that, distance from the camera and the 2-dimensional screen we are looking at make it LOOK as if they are closer together than they actually are. THAT is one of the first things you learn in photography. Third: Just because this guy is your cousin doesn't make it a fact.

[brooklyn01234]

I agree with DOLLYSLAFFN LMAO some random waving a flag in a cemetery ? Or pulling spanish moss ? Is that all you got kid? Debunk my ass, more like made a fool of yourself.

[womblediehard]

Good debunking and well explained in a constructive way, well done.

[MissStormRyder]

This is a fair and rational explaination of the original video.

I lived in Hinesville, Ga when young and my family and I would spend many weekends in Savannah and I do recall seeing some people removing spanish moss from trees in their yards with rakes ....maybe this was a grounds keeper doing just that?....Just a thought?

[scifake]

@MissStormRyder I thought so at first, but you can see the handle and an arm. I'm not sure why he locked on to the kid running ...probably just a coincidence. Keep in mind, this was New Years eve 2008 and I doubt a grounds keeper was working beyond 5pm. Maybe a coat? it was cool that evening and it may have been a person putting on a coat. BUT ...NOT a ghost!!! Nice try Jesse. lol

[Jigsaw2383]

@scifake wow get a life you fucking jealous

[stayAU]

@MissStormRyder I lived in Glennville and I have never seen people touch that moss in Savannah its part of its charm.

[DOLLYSLAFFN]

Aainaca, I also posted two other posts explaining IN DETAIL why this could NOT be Spanish Moss...immediately prior to the post Mr Tebo has seen fit to allow to be seen here,as well as another regarding the "flag in a cemetery",and why that was not plausible. After notice that my comments would be reviewed by Mr Tebo before posting, they have NOT appeared... and no, this COULD NOT be Spanish Moss,not like any I have ever seen in my 55 years in Georgia.

[DOLLYSLAFFN]

I LIVE ABOUT 50 MILES SOUTH OF HERE...I am VERY familiar with Spanish moss,and getting it out of trees...First of all, it is practically weightless; for it to fall straight down with the apparent force it does in the video, it has to have added weight with it, like a rotted tree limb. Secondly, it would not fall straight down, it would arc and fall away from the tree if it were snatched out by a rake.Thirdly, it iss not seen as a pile on the ground after it falls.. it just simply disappears.

[DOLLYSLAFFN]

So if I am understanding you correctly,you are saying a chilld adventuresome and rambunctious enough to run across a cemetery away from his parents is going to find a flag lying on the ground(since he isn't carrying it previously),pick the flag up, wave it ONCE , and put it back down and rejoin his parents? NOT.. I am also the mother of five, and the grandmother of almost ten,and this scenario isn't working, either.If you are sure there is a plausible explanation,please present one.These aren't.

[DOLLYSLAFFN]

I couldn't tell you about the characteristics of maine lobsters or Texas longhorns,becaue I have never lived around them. But I have lived with Spanish moss for 55 years; I have jumped up and tried to pull it down as a child,I have had to clear trees of it as an adult. I also know it harbors redbugs... I KNOW SPANISH MOSS;AND THAT IS NOT SPANISH MOSS IN THAT VIDEO !!! You will have to come up with a better scenario than the one you present here in order for your argument to have credence,sir.

[DOLLYSLAFFN]

Also, this area is extremely flat;the mosss could not have fallen and been hidden behind a hill or rise. The person with the "flag in a cemetery"??? could not have been standing downhill,therefore they had to be a midget or small child without the strength to untangle the moss from the rake.Moss is like tangled fishing line, but with a rough texture,and once a clump like that is in a rake, you have to let the rake fall with it to the ground, or pick it off the tines.Your scenario is impossible.

[scifake]

@DOLLYSLAFFN I appreciate your comment and this is why we included the flag scenario. You can look closely and see the pole and a hand.

[ppitstop38]

Crap. I so wanted this footage to be legit.

[deltafour1212]

BIG WHOOP!

[scifake]

@deltafour1212 EXACTLY! We like to think it is too.

[scifake]

@Aanica1 Thanks. It was apparent and I'm disturbed as to why the "experts" (rolling my eyes) did not see the obvious?
