  • Good video, but can you please talk louder and clearer, your voice was putting me to sleep :/

  • good debunking

  • nice find .....they should have realised themselves....or maybe they did mwahaha

  • Good job man!!!

  • The image makes good TV reguardless of whether or not it's paranormal. They did the same thing at Fort Delaware during their 1st investigation. They used the flir image even though they knew and were told by the Fort Delaware staff it was one of their re-enactors messing around.

  • i used to watch this show all the time. but after watching there mistakes on "live" tv and your video im really skeptical about anything they say.

  • you have a great eye.

  • well done!!! I beleive j and g are fake!!!

  • I have a sudden urge to break out my "Public Enemy" casette tapes and fight the power!!! Oh and good video, you are totally correct. I can clearly make out every discrep you found. You made them very obvious. I could even see him in the reflection reacting to seeing his own thermal image, it stops and turns to say "hey look at this"

  • You need to be on the TAPS team. Well done!

  • Well done DigitalMDX

  • Good job with the analysis, these guys are frauds. And what about the TAPS family? They sure have a high turnover rate of investigators for what they call a "family". And they should be ashamed of how they let Steve (part time police officer, full time bully) piss all over Brian, ending with Brian leaving the show. When Tango took Brians spot, Steve started all over again with the constant ball breaking, but Tango is a passive guy who let most of it slide. I'd slap the shit outta Steve...

  • You did a fantastic job. You have some real ability and a fantastic skeptical sensibility. I wish you would do analysis on bigfoot videos. Some of those videos are done by some truly talented scammers. Your attention to detail would help with the skeptic struggle.

  • Good job (Even though I am a crushed former TAPS fan)

  • yah I completely agree with your analizes, but I think that doing your doctoral Theasis about a ghost hunters episode may be proof that you should GET A LIFE

  • this is retaeted

  • I know I am late in the game for commenting but they debunked themselves with the reflextion test. I have to admire you scientific approach to this. I do believe in ghosts but I can't stand fake investigations. I believe science will eventually get its proof but false evidence is more damning than no evedence at all. Also to give more support to your method. I would like to point out that their image shows the doorway and the Fake ghost is on the wrong side of the doorway support your theory.

  • To the people talking about orbs. The internet is fairly permanent. Your comments will be here long past the point you grow up and regret making such juvenile comments. But you won't be able to undo it. Save yourself the trouble and just don't. It's dust, water droplets in the air, it's in almost any picture under many circumstances and it has nothing to do with supernatural. Consider how stupid you sound, you see something and without proof call it a ghost....

  • @Blingblong20 orbs are just dust that some guy took a picture and saw one and decided to call it supernatural. its like seeing a wig and calling it a human scalp

  • I've considered this as fake from the moment I saw it on Ghost Hunters. If you look closely the image is with no doubt Jason - bald head and all.

  • Nice, that's what I'm talking about! Real science in action! I knew something was weird in this footage, since it really does look like his reflection. Even in that scene where they are looking in their own reflection, it looks the goddamn same. Good work!

  • wow, 3d models, taking it step by step through the evidence, demonstrations and

    using common sense? You make those TAPS folk look like bumbling, incompetent, attention seeking, dipsticks.

    Congratulations on showing them how it should be done

  • It's funny how people get mad at the people who debunk the Ghost Hunters instead of getting mad at the Ghost Hunters for being proven fakers. If Jason and Grant hod not sold out and became big rich TV stars now, they would be making videos debunking the fakers too.

  • the ghost was on the rocking chair. they showed that on the show explaining everything. but yeah there are times were they do make stuff up. which they need to stop doing because everyone is catching on. and they deny it. lol. but i love watching the show even though they do do that. lol. but i love watching ghost adventures. my favorite ghost hunting show on television. zak is dreamy! lol.

  • It wasn't a reflection

    and they flipped the shot, or, here's the fun part

    he might have switched hands

    wow what a hard to understand concept

  • @LinxYak i agree with you i think people just do these vids because they have nothing better to do

  • I have had things happen to me in the past that I couldn't explain. Do I take the show as gospel no do I enjoy the show yes very much. But to sit and spend the time doing 3d imaging try to shred their credibility you and the other narrow minded people have way to much time on your hands get out and get some sun and a life.

  • Great job. Awesome data professionally presented. Thanks D,MDX!!! We want more!!!

  • The shape is clearly seated in the rocking chair.

  • I don't get why people get all excited when they see something on thermal on this show.My thoughts are ghosts suppose to give off a  cold, that is the theory right when you're in a presence of a ghost you get cold spots. So why are readings showing warm temperatures?

  • @Bigdeezy74 Ghosts apparently generate cold air around their presence from what I would guess is compression of energy. When an apparition steps into the physical realm, the free floating molecules in the air become charged and attract to a central core (about where they are in a way) which generates electrical energy (static) and a reflect in temperature change. Tighter packed matter gets hotter while the energy that must expand to fill the space gets colder.

  • @Bigdeezy74@Bigdeezy74 When an apparition steps into the physical realm, the free floating molecules in the air become charged and attract to a central core (about where they are in a way) which generates electrical energy (static) and a reflect in temperature change. Tighter packed matter gets hotter while the energy that must expand to fill the space gets colder.

  • @efahrenholz1 So you feel the temperature being cold,and they have device the measure temperature being cold. Yet your explanation is that the tighter packed matter is hot how even though you only feel the cold and can measure it being. Does that make any sense to you that everything but the thermal imaging measures it as cold?

  • funny thing is when Jason asks the client "does that reflection look familiar to you" the first thing that popped in my head was YES!! it looks like JASON's!! that was before I saw DigitalMDX's evidence at the end which clearly proves the reflection or humanoid shape is clearly Jason's.

    TAPS should hire you Sir, 'case you sure know how to present your evidence.

  • I want to believe in them...but proof is proof...good job.

  • Nice job on this video. TAPS investigations are getting to be silly with all the "evidence" they're finding. I've seen more convincing "ghost" videos from Youtube submissions

  • You need to speak much louder and a little slower, not all computers have external speakers. I can hear the TAPS show clearly but the commentator is barely a whisper.

  • ..slight of hand trickery in this regard, in order that a truthful, proven and wholly worthy assessment is made of the claims of a haunting or whatever its called! This is a television show...this is an entertainment medium, and a bunch of non scientists, scientifically pontificating on 'evidence' either caught or manufactured by them or others, is repugnant! Indeed, I understand that they do not submit their 'findings' for true scientific scritiny. I wonder why? Well done DigitalMDX. Take care

  • ...upon the basis of this 'evidence', made me wonder as to the legality of their pontificating, psuedo-scientific, self opinionated garbage! Those of us, like DigitalMDX here, are merely looking at this televisual (and therein lies the radix malorium) 'evidence' with the required scientific approach that is surely, and morally, needed! I think that here in the UK, their activities might be deemed questionable and indeed harmful. The scientific method is simply about illuminating non-truths and..

  • When I heard of this TAPS 'organisation', and their wish to debunk' the obvious nonsense and thus focus upon that which requires detailed clarification, this all sounded both reasonable and interesting. I was astounded to then find that these debunkers were not, in any shape nor form, schooled in the prerequisite science'. Furthermore, their moronic analysis of what THEY refer to as evidence, just saddened me! And then to hear that they are counselling frightened people, often with children...

  • Well done

  • I think the only thing this proves is you have WAY too much time on your hands. lol sorry, but with all the stuff TAPS has caught over the years, I wouldn't waste my time tearing down one piece of evidence where they may or may not have mistaken a reflection for a ghost. TAPS has loads of credible evidence, but no body is perfect my friend.

  • Why are you whispering? S P E A K  U P !!!

  • im sorry but it doesnt seem fake to me, but you keep up with what your doing because if you do find somthing fake im sure everyone would want to know about it, good vid by the way.

  • Good job

  • Hmm, sad to see this has slipped through, but it's not the first time. I do like the fact that TAPS is one of the few ghost hunters who actually debunk some stuff, but they really don't try hard enough sometimes and often are reaching with their so called 'evidence'. Still it's a fun show to watch! ^^

  • Good catch! Have you posted this on the TAPS website or emailed it to them? Any response if you did?

  • yeah, this one is a load of horseshit, the thermal gamma signature of the "whatever" is the same as Jay's round head, which can be patted. :D

  • All I have to say to this is YOU try ghost hunting and see what happens. :-)

  • i like ho they had the flir 2" from the mirror of course it would look different,,,wow they really think people are stupid i have watched Tons of videos tonight with viewers debunking their so called claims,,wow that upsetting there liars like that. they call themself th eonly team tht trys to debunk claims an their the ones who are the frauds,

  • Nice job DigitalIMDX, but really after reading numerous post there are people think this stuff is real. Come on America do you really think this stuff is real? and the government always tells the truth, jajajajaja, this is TV , entertainment, there are so many oops moments in this show, ghost adventures, paranormal, paranormal cops, come on eveb destination truth, that guy reminds me of commander McBragg, jajajaja BUT i watch it all cause I love the show! America get real WAKE UP!

  • i dont think its fake sry but good video

  • @HkKillermind

    Thanks for your comments. I encourage you to watch the episode on DVD or TV, the images will be much clearer. Thanks again.

  • actually yea its jason cus it looks like hes swinging back and forth liek jason was doing so yea not the 2nd look i see its jason

  • @HkKillermind He didn't say "fake"; he said mistaken identity. Two vastly different things.

  • Lol you guys care far to much. I mean, making a 3D model? why do you really care that much?

  • Well done digitalMDX, totally debunked by u. It's almost like they paned the camera faster than usual to kind of get that effect of seeing something really quick. The funny thing was when they asked the lady had she seen this shadow before @ 7:58, she said yes - worrying! lol. Thanks man!

  • My one complaint with the video here is that the books on the dresser didn't exactly line up with the torso but I will attribute that to the angle of IR camera. Professional indeed. This man's tone never changes throughout the video. It's like inwardly he's saying "come guys I could done a better job faking a ghost in five minutes than you have done the entire season."

  • genious!

  • I especially like where Grant says, "We think we just saw you..." - What a waste of human organs this guy is - but for the fact that he's found a way to dupe people and get rich off of it. Dick.

  • lmfao listen to grant say the "bog man" reflection looks different than their own look on the thermal. it looks the same for both. what a douche. and the reflection they caught u can even make out the guy holding something if u look closely around 3:20-3:39

  • Completely pwned at the end. Excellent, excellent work!

  • For Grant to be a Professional..lol...he says a (aprox.)12x12 bedroom is disorienting.

    More people like you should be at their evidence review and teach those PROFESSIONALS a thing or two.

  • wow

  • Wow, great analysis here! Most people don't even do 1/4 of the work you put into this, but this pays off because it's solid stuff. Thanks for posting this.

  • Really good debuking EXCEPT you really should speak louder in your video. We barely hear your comments at all.

  • Thats funny I hear him just fine.

  • its called volume, turn it up.

  • lmao

  • @sqipca I agree with the sound thing - I have my volume cranked along with the video volume AND I'm wearing headphones and it still sounds like he's nearly whispering. No need to whisper dude, TAPS won't come after you.

  • you should show this to the taps team. even though they probably already know.

  • Comment removed

  • i used to watch them but after halloween jacket pull I am turned off. I hope they get fired at roto rooter and their show cancels

  • This makes sense...it's sad that they'd pass this off as something real.

  • They should hire you on the show.

  • TAPS LIES

  • Excellent analysis! Taps would be impressed, though SYFY would bury it. Has there been an official response to your analysis?

    Obviously, critics and beleivers of TAPS will use your video to justify their opinions. A true analysis of TAPs integrety can be learned from thier response to very good, non-bias analysis.

    Its understandable that often what is presented on TV is for ratings (live or die). Persons wanting the truth have the opertunity to seperate Taps from the show.

  • You have presented an accurate analysis.  Too bad TAPS dropped the ball on this one. Oh well, we all make mistakes.

  • thisphotoisproof, it depends on the settings of the FLIR camera, they can change modes, in black and white, dark is warmer. Also, any "Ghost" caught on FLIR would have to be solid, FLIR only picks up reflected or emitted heat from a solid object, or how would they see a cold air conditioner at 70 degrees through an 80 degree air temp, it would be like a solid wall if it picked up air temps or "mists", wouldn't help pilots fly though clouds as well.

  • Personally, I think a lot of the thermal evidence can/should be thrown out because of how many reflective surfaces you see in places they investigate. But to give my opinion on this moment, if Jay did catch a reflection in the mirror, the image would have been far clearer than it was. This image he caught was barely visible and if you catch an image in the mirror it would look like you directly pointed the imager a person and be bold and clear.

  • Isn't it funny how the aparitions they catch on the thermal are always bald? lol

  • i always thought cold was hot, dark was cold?.

  • I have 2 agree with Letsgrowtogetor on the camera crew. The camera crew were hired 2 film the TAPS team do the investigation, NOT do the investigation themselves. Otherwise there'd be no need 4 Grant, Jay or the rest of T.A.P.S. 2 be there.

  • wow. definetly the mirror i reckon. so they made a mistake. i can see hoe TAPS could have made it.

  • oh i think i saw the camera..

  • i see your point though, but im just saying they said they didnt get to the mirror yet.

  • But did they say that they didnt get to the mirrow yet...

  • The reason the camera men don't focus entirely on the actual investigation and moreso on the TAPS team is because that's what they were hired to do. The initial camera work and surveying is meant to be done by the team alone as they are the ghost hunters and the camera crew is simply there to capture them and their reactions to what they have seen or heard. The crew is not there to help capture evidence of the paranormal, they are there to capture Grants striking resemblance to Alf.

  • nice you've debunked that one.

    I got one suggestion to you DigitalMDX, that was good analysis but you need to speak louder, I'm having a hard time hearing what you're saying.

  • You should send this to TAPS and see what they think of it.

  • Another mistake they make is with the Infrared camera.

    It is constantly shifting the colors depending on the temperature. They're supposed to "lock" the colors so they will only monitor a range from say 20° to 100°F.

    This way during a shot, the color shifting as the device rearranges its color scale - won't be interpreted as movement, since it would be eliminated.

  • very good video, I don't think anyone can argue this

  • Constantly on taps the camera guys look away from the action or sompletely hack their framing. They are either the worst cameramen on the planet of any age or they know its fake and are focussed on the drama.

    A real pro camera guy would never look at the investigators. they might ave the investigator in the shot on a side but the focal point would be whatever the real subject is which is GHOSTS. so next time the camera guy gives up the 5million dollar shot to look at a freaked idiot... u know

  • the point i made about cameramen ... is that they are taught (pros at least older than 12 years old) know never to shoot away from the "ACTION". If the investigators are looking at something...you think the video guy wants to give up immortality to shoot away from the chance to catch the first real ghost or demon EVER? They are taught to keep filming with bombs going off around them.

    no pro shoots away EVER from the 5 billion dollar chance shot of a real ghost...unless he knows nothings there.

  • Taps has made a tonne of mistakes. i can never see what they see. the camera men must be morons because most know to never move their camera EVER. Whats with dumb music when we should be listening and silent? Trying to cover up something?

  • wow, good catch.

  • you got waaay to much time on your hands

  • Maybe, but waaay too people take this show as gospel truth, and this guy at least is taking the proper time to explain it. People say "Hey they tried to debunk it on the show" when he's clearly showing they didn't try nearly hard enough.

  • Very well put, thank you. In response to microlounger88, I had two choices. One, post to a forum "Wrong, it's Jason's reflection" and move on or two, take the time to explain my point in a way people will hopefully understand it. Thank you both for your replies.

  • well i cannot argue that. awesome job. it's unfortunate, but can't blame taps for it.

  • of course you can blame TAPS for it, they took the picture and they are the ones who misinterpreted the shot on at least two occasions.

  • yeah, you're right. i was just trying to go easy on the bastards.

  • looks like taps made a boo boo

  • how dare you dis taps

  • taps are dissing themselves. for being so stupid to present FAKE 'evidnece' to their client, saying, oh my, its the guy who killed himself, even on the halloween special. wake up dude, these are fakes, theyll do anythin to make money

  • wow .. nice good catch .

  • wow u were really obeservant

  • I can't believe these fuckin yahoos have the nerve to call themselves skeptics. They're about the worst skeptics I've ever seen.

  • Here's a good insight into these guys' lack of critical thinking skills, everyone. "That's unexaplained right now. Nice piece of evidence". No...no NO. Something unexplained is not evidence of anything else, it's just something unexplained!!!

  • Very impressive analysis! You put a lot of hard work into this, and I believe you are correct. As others are saying, you should present this to TAPS, as it is unfortunate this made it to the client.

    Some are saying this is evidence of them faking, but it is only evidence of them making a mistake. They are human beings walking around in the dark. They won't be correct 100% of the time.

  • man you are better than einstein

  • This is awesome! Well thought through, well presented! Nice work!

  • Well done call TAPS tell them about it

  • To me, their characterizations of the alleged paranormal events are so biased it's hard to watch without yelling at the TV. They make it sound as though every sound they think they hear has some attachment to the story of the location. A door creeks and they tell us it must be the guy that shot his family then himself giving us a sign. The GHI is even worse in my opinion. Nice work BTW.

  • Very Well Done!! ghost hunters is fake, Have you seen the fake halloween show?

  • good one dude!

  • ok i have to say if you watch the termail footage again they would have had to pass the doorway to get to the mirror and at the time jay saw this grant was still fairly close to the door and you see absolutly no outline of a door so based on that its hard to find you as correct however they also had the IR or w/e cam set up i am sure they did compare the two to see if Jay had hit the mirror at all while he was turning

  • The doorway you mention is the closet door. At 3:02 Grant points out the TV, at 3:04 Jason identifies the closet and then the image appears, the whole time the camera is panning left to right. If you are referring to the IR camera on top of the TV, that was only there when they entered the room. You will notice it is gone from the comparison night vision shot. Showing that IR angle would indeed reveal the full pan of his camera. Thank you for your comments.

  • its a good time when the full moon rise

    when ghost hunting 4:14

  • I hate taps too many people in the house now Ghost Adventuers is the shit three people locked in the location

  • dude is that you talking?

  • Very well done. Thank you for your excellent work.

  • plus they show what it would look like if it was a reflection in the mirror at around 3:26, and it's not the same.

  • You have to remember that at that point they are only a couple of feet from the mirror, not the 6 to 8 feet from the original capture. Also, the only way to explain the lack of a lower body of the original capture, is the books and items on the dresser in front of the mirror blocking any thermal reflections. Thank you for both of your comments.

  • this isnt fake. they show where they found it in the room. At 3:04 he said "and theres the closet" which is where you see the figure. The mirror wasnt on the closet door at all, and the rocking chair was right in front of it. And how come when they point the camera on the same place afterwards, the "reflection" is not there? plus they would be smart enough to know that it was a reflection.

  • Watch that sequence over again a couple of times beginning at 3:01. Watch the panning speed (left to right motion) of the left video compared to the right video. The pan on the right video is almost twice as fast as the one on the left, they aren't synchronized at all.

  • That was $5000 dollars well spent, they don't even know how to use their own equipment. Great debunk, very detailed.

  • your were almost right about them making a mistake

    but you do rrelize they caught the image with the thermal imaging camera

    if that was a reflection off a mirror

    then it would have been showing heat

    since it ws shot through the grey scale

    the image would have been white if it was a reflection

  • Unfortunately TAPS isn't consistent with the color palettes they select on the FLIR. The particular FLIR they are using offers Rainbow, Rainbow HC, Gray (White Hot), Gray (Black Hot) and Iron for the color palettes. I think if you watch the video again, you will see that they have chosen "Gray (Black Hot)" and therefore white is cold and black is hot. You will see the temperature scale to the right of the thermal image. Thank you for the comment.

  • Very smart. Your evidence makes sense.

  • I agree with your evidence. I'm guessing that with television, they can't walk away from every case with nothing. Probably straining to give their client SOMETHING even though they know it's B.S.

  • they have walked off with nothing, if you watch the shows more often you will realise that they debunk a lot of things

  • That's really cool!!! Thanks for pointing that all out!

  • u should join TAPS

  • Completely debunked. Great job!

  • Hey at least crtics keep them honest! their not haters, itll make the show better as it goes on bc thats our job is to be obejectionable! thats why shows get cancelled or the survive! if he wants to spend his time debunking let him but dont bash his opinion for which he at least makes a case for! hes just not talking shit! props on the argument and i do like the show its all relevant!

  • at frame 2:50 you actually SEE jason switching his hand position so there is no reshoot hes doing it while they are reviewing the evidence,not because its a reshoot idiots. and the fact that it could be a reflection and they mistook it for an actual ghost image doesnt mean they are frauds it means they are human and missed it. they cought it in later episodes. get a life.

  • Now this is very intriguing evidence and they should have figured this out themselves

  • Fakers for life! take that shit off the air already it went to hell after season one! and they are both sell outs who fAKE SHIT

  • its reaallllllllllllllllllllllllll­lllllllllllllllll!

  • Only one thing out of all the episodes didn't make sense. That being when the bag hit the camerman.

  • Can you believe that they present fake shit like this to clients who are despartely, sincerely seeking help?

  • They are SOO FAKE.

  • Nice work!

  • jeeeez. dude, you didnt have to go trough all of this just to say that they did something wrong. =|

    he's allowed to make mistakes.

  • gosh....

    yeah, this should have been thrown out and was a clear fraud, but really. he made a mistake. isn't he allowed to be human?

  • Superb detective work. These ghosthunting clowns are making fools of America. They should be made to answer the case you have against them. Keep it up.

  • no wonder when these two asswipes see something, they never freak out..now i know

  • jason is only human-hes allowed to make mistakes. why do you need to publicly announce that? long live TAPS!!!

    ps-how dare you insult them! i smite you!

  • humans making a lot of money out of dumbasses like you!!!

  • HAHAHA!!!!

  • That was a wonderful job of debunking and explaining. If you're not on a paranormal team YOU SHOULD BE!

  • nice find

  • nice work i spotted loads of things on the taps episodes they should,nt play with peoples minds it,s wrong because some people believe these jackasses.awsome show me more?

  • i think you got something there, but dont you have anything else to do with your life other than proving people wrong, we are all just human, people make mistakes and that IS a proven fact.

  • But we probably learn more from correcting mistakes than allowing them to happen constantly

  • Comment removed

  • GRR! I am getting so frustrated with TAPS! I truely understand Scifi needing them to fudge a so many hour long show to keep people watching, but I had a little bit of hope that the recorded shows were maybe just maybe not fudged.

    Thanks for what you do, you help people see what they may have not seen before and to not believe even the "evidence"

  • Great stuff, I noticed the light in the close up just before you mentioned it, Keep them cumming 5*.

  • WoW! Great Debunk 5 stars.Keep em coming!
