Analysis Part 2: TAPS Halloween Live Special Grants coat tug

[utubin67]

who knows how many gags these guys did just to see how they'd come across? if it came across good, they would 'air' it. Like when the water came on by itself in that bathroom and the camera failed to show one of the guys behind the shower curtain.. hmm we took these guys at face value b/c nothing they did was ever 'too fake' but someone dropped the ball airing this one! Now, all they've done will be erased and replaced with this crap! 4ever too.

I have always had a gift of this internal calculator.. can't really say why nor can I probably articulate it.. in fact I've always thought everyone had it but I've found out that not every does. I am extremely keen on body language and can rather accurately decipher genunine from disingenuine responses to situations by focusing in on facial ques, body language, reactions, etc.. When this event occured all my sensors said 'fake' and this turned me so off this show. In short a lie screams 'lie'.

What you have a Thermal Camera? Lucky dog you. Good Job on the review of evidence and explaining about the fold in the coat. Not sure you are absolutely correct that it was the case but it is info that most peaple including myself didn't think about.

I watched this and I really do not see what you are trying to point out here. I see no logical explanation to why his jacket would pull down like that for no reason other then something paranormal, his shoulders go back because he was in the process of taking a step. The collar naturally hangs a little and Jason pulled it up to an unatural position for it so when he patted him on the back with a little bit of force it fell back into place.

"I see no logical explanation to why his jacket would pull down like that for no reason other then something paranormal"

wow...you can't explain it so it MUST be paranormal right? So logical. The same kind of logic that made people think the sun revolved around the earth and flies came from rotting meat before they found out the truth.

The "youtube tag expert" has come along to give you some friendly, earth shattering advice; If you are going to do a video about the show "Ghost Hunters" you should include the words "ghost" and "hunters" in your tags! I'm so smart,intelligent and wise.

[DigitalMDX]

Yes, I agree you are very wise... However, if I put "Ghost Hunters" in my tag, then I get every die hard fan that is only interested in supporting/defending the show regardless of what is presented. By omitting that from the tag, then I get people who actually care about what is being presented and took the time to track down the video. They usually have an open mind and have pertinent comments. Thank you for your very keen observation on the tags though.

[revotiger911]

Seems like you are overly sensitive about what people think and the comments they will make. The point of this video should be to inform viewers of the show to be skeptical about the evidence presented by Ghost Hunters. The people who care and have an open mind are probably already skeptical. You should be targeting the die hard fan and seeking to persuade and inform them. Otherwise this well done video and analysis is almost a waste of time. Is the goal of this video "pertinent comments"?

[DigitalMDX]

I don't care what comments are made as long as they are "pertinent" to the video. Posts like "F you" and "you suck" don't do anything towards promoting conversation around the topic at hand. The point isn't to make viewers "skeptical about the evidence presented by Ghost Hunters", only to draw attention to those occurrences that are questionable. 'Ghost Hunters' comes up with great evidence. It's these other events that make you raise an eyebrow that I'm calling attention to.

I've seen all the episodes, but the live show and particularly the coat tug seem very suspect. even the interaction between jason and grant seems very forced. i think in general they are on the up-and-up, but i think the live show might have had a little hollywood sci-fi channel input.

[revotiger911]

I believe Jason and Grant are both wise and intelligent. That is why they made sure to provide the illusion that they are trustworthy. They have made sure to consistently debunk claims and events and discard evidence which did not at first glance appear to be suspect. That gives them credibility. But this coat tug, the "you're not supposed to be here" voice and the hanger throw have made me realize that most of the evidence that is compelling was captured by Jason and Grant(cont)...

[revotiger911]

Cont... while they were by themselves. The majority of this evidence is from their stories, thermal camera or k2 meter. This evidence relies on their credibility and could have been faked. To those who say Jason and Grant wouldn't do that; GIVE ME A BREAK! Money and fame are major corruptors! If "the live show might have had a little hollywood sci-fi channel input", THAT MEANS JASON AND GRANT WERE PART OF THE FRAUD, SHOULD NOT BE EXCUSED AND WILL NOT BE TRUSTED BY ME IN THE FUTURE!

[satyr72]

they are liars.

[revotiger911]

How can you post a very rational and evidence backed video exposing fraud and fakery by GHs and say in the same video you have the "utmost respect" for Jason and Grant? Remember that the whole show presented this as evidence at the reveal. If this is faked then how much of the other "evidence" is faked. Most of the compelling evidence occurs when J&G are investigating together w/ the thermal camera or k2 meter. Greed and money lead to dishonesty and fraud.  Kind of a cop out by you Digital!

[DigitalMDX]

Both Jason and Grant have stated that nothing was faked. With that I will take them at their word. Until some other evidence comes to light I will trust in their word. What would you like me to do? Call them liars? I pointed out observations that didn't seem natural. Without raw footage from the show I have no other evidence to pull from. So until something surfaces to prove otherwise, I will take them at their word. If you have other evidence, please share it. Thank you for your comments.

[revotiger911]

In case YOU missed it YOU posted 2 videos challenging this evidence w/convincing footage from the show and your own analysis and re-creations which help prove this was faked.You also go out of your way to show Grant is r-handed,uses his l-hand to inspect his collar and that his r-hand never leaves his side.You also ? Jason's behavior.YOU ARE calling them liars.If a pat on the back causes the collar to go down,how could this be paranormal?If sci-fi put them up to it they are part of the fraud!LOL

[DigitalMDX]

You and I both know it is convincing footage. I also agree about the pat on the back, even Jason says he has no explanation for it. I stated my case and offered explanations. They say that isn't the case, that it was all real and on the level. So at this point without further evidence it's up to the individual viewers to formulate their own opinions. I will trust in their word until proven otherwise. Thank you again for taking the time to comment.

It was a dark day (literally and figuratively) for Taps...is this the end? To me it seems there credibility (at least Grants) is shot. I noticed they carefully kept Grant's right arm out of all camera angles during the 'reveal'.

[dustbunnieboo]

Thanks for posting this. Well done and thought out.

[jp7nnj]

if you watch this video over and over again and you are watching from the side,, actually Grants left side,,you can see him tugging with his right hand,,hhmmmm
