TAPS Halloween special Grants coat tug analysis Ft Delaware

On the live TAPS Halloween 2008 show Grant experienced 3 tugs on his coat collar.
Each time his right hand never leaves his side waist line. On several occasions you will see his right hand fidgeting around near his waistline before and after the tugs.
Grant is very convincing in his reactions to the tugs, however Jason acts like he could care less about the events.
Do I believe TAPS would fake an event like this? No, not really... but I wouldn't put it past the Sci-Fi channel for putting them up to it for one reason or another.

The show got...rapidly less and less credible as time went on--I still have a lot of respect for Grant and Jay, but this....is unarguably damning.

Whether they were pressured by their producers, or whether it started as a "just this once" kind of thing and then gradually got out of hand as expectations got higher--I can understnd otherwise very honest people being slowly lulled into hoaxing. Understand, not condone, of course.

Their current hiatus is prolly to get their heads back together

Wow, they fucking suck! Matter of fact, sucked since they first aired! Ghost Adventures ALL THE FUCKING WAY!!!

the fact that enough people actually watch this show is evidence of the stupidity of americans.

@Eldeecue i think a lot has to do with the producers, their way or the highway.

I feel like this was one of the more obvious stunts. If you were pulled that lightly do you think your leg would fly out in front of you EVERY time and that only your left hand would fly out? More likely he'd stumble back a little, be realistically confused and both hands would be searching his back for what happened. That and he wouldn't be playing pocket pool on live tv. There's def. something to control the hood.

@BMKikiBeats I noticed that too! It became blatantly obvious when Jason starts CAREFULLY inspecting the coat and then readjusting it so as to not mess up the wire mechanism.

Fake..on to the next..show that is LOL

The biggest thing to me is if something pulled on you hard enough to step back you would put out both hands to balance yourself, and also, in the normal episode when someone is having an experience everyone stops to focus on the energy and the events going on in that moment. Here they all just sorta shurg it off and don't investigate it much. I love this show and I don't believe that it is all fake, this instance must have been a publicity stunt incase there was no findings... :(

4:33 after patting his back you can see how to "somehow" tugs down! The fucktard is obviously pulling down on a wire/string with his left hand cuz he has not took that god damn hand out of his pocket at anytime! LOAD OF SHIET!

This really does make me sad. Ghost hunters used to be a genuine show before it got really popular...

[ioport]

They lost any credibility after this. I don't understand how the show is still on the air.
