My ghost story from today

It's a guilty pleasure of me and my wife. I started out hating it, but now I love the shit. Some of it seems ridiculous, but unless they are lying (and that's entirely possible) they do catch some interesting audio AND video that makes you go hmmmm.

The Vallisca Axe Murder House episode was especially intriguing...

The one that really stands out for me was the episode where they were in the old Canadian fort, and captured the contorting shadow behind the guy who worked there. I always prefer the episodes where they capture something visually on film. The ones where they come up with complete sentences based on static hissing with their "white noise" machine are really lame. I mean, I believe in this stuff, and while I'd like to believe they're actually experiencing what they claim to be experiencing, I know that the main purpose of the show isn't to find ghosts, but rather to make money - just like every other advertised show on TV.

My personal ghost experience was backed up by an animal. My friend's dog went berserk when he took him up to the room where "the Major" was. The dog whimpered and squirmed, and ran off like a shot to get out of there when put down, but acted normally everywhere else in the house. Kind of hard to fake that. Yet Zak and his buddies NEVER talk about animals and their sensitivity to this sort of thing, nor is there ever any mention of animals by anybody they interview. That bothers me. Apparently they haven't been able to find a dog that's impressed by their white noise machine.

I have ALWAYS said they should have a dog with them...everyone knows animals are extra sensitive to this stuff. If you believe in it. Which I do as well.

Yeah the one with the moving shadow was legit creepy. Probably the best video evidence they have.

Upon reflection, I guess it's possible they aren't allowed to. I mean, assuming they go to a different, truly haunted location every episode, they'd be traumatizing the poor dog everywhere they went. That probably wouldn't look too good on TV. Plus, they'd have PETA and ASPCA up their asses nonstop.

But if this is the case, they should mention it.

You mentioned PETA before me... my repost.

Seems like it would be a real damned if you do, damned if you don't proposition.

Bring a dog, dog freaks out, people object because it's cruel, or...

Bring a dog, dog has no reaction, oops.

Whatta ya know? My daughter watches the show and said they DID bring Zac's dog in for an investigation. Nothing earth shattering, but check out the video:

Interesting. Certainly didn't react like my friend's dog, though - he was scared shitless of being in that room.

I have seen this reaction from a lil white poodle. Old house in Leavenworth Kan my friends mom owned.
Dog would not go into the TV room. Story was in WWI the hubby was killed in Europe & she killed herself in that room the following year drinking some kind of poison.
I spent 10 or 12 nights in the house back in my teens. we would go down for the weekends & hunt the hills around Leavenworth. Most un-scary haunted house ever.
