  • Someone just needs to tie cinder blocks around Jeffrey's ankles and throw him in the river to sleep with the fishes. Problem solved. But no, let's keep him inside the house in the room right next to where I sleep!
    Hope you guys are enjoying these videos, will be more to come in the future!

      @@maxxxmodelz4061 I'm willing to give the woman the benefit of the doubt: I think the "orb" was light reflecting off of something moving (possibly a celling fan) into the camera, and she genuinely thinks it was something supernatural. Unlike everyone else who plays it up for clout, she seemed mostly confused, made an attempt to interact with it, then kinda wrote it off and went on with her life (minus posting the video, which isn't that bad).
      If this was one of those other people, she'd be running through her house trying to escape it.

      First off who puts a doll sitting up in the middle/center of a room? Facing a wall in a basement? That thing should be either in a closet somewhere or up in the attic collecting dust. If he wants to honor his mother and her doll, then usually you have it stored away in some kind of bin or basket. Unless of course you want a make a creepy ghost video, then by all means have at it.

      It's like the people who believe these videos don't know what normal human behavior is. For reference, that's not at all how anyone acts when they're scared. No one slowly creeps around with their phone and a flashlight, plays with the doll that's supposedly haunted, and then sets up a fnaf camera for it in the basement.
      If someone truly thinks thay doll is haunted, they're gonna turn on the lights in their house and fucking burn it in the backyard. Thats how people would react to an item they believe is cursed.

    The Jeffrey story is a good summary of what bothers me about so much modern horror. We're told that Jeffrey is the bad guy. This is not challenged. And yet, the reason Jeffrey gets the opportunity to turn his head is because something was making noise on the stairs. So if that noise wasn't created by a second entity, then Jeffrey can be in two places at once, or at least remotely interact with them even when he's "trapped" in a room. So he's never trapped, then, is he? The story isn't even following its own rules, so how can I take it seriously? Not to mention, Jeffrey passes up the perfect opportunity to attack just for a creepy shot, so he's more of an actor than a killer, isn't he? That sort of creepy just undermines any actual horror.

      You're also acting like there's some sort of unfair logic at work, since either the blatantly fake videos can't win because they're too shaky or they can't win because they aren't shaky enough. The reality is actually that they can't win because they're predicated on an obvious hoax.

    One thing that I always find interesting is how when it's phone footage, it's always like a First Person view. You're scared and you're looking through your house, or even running away, and the camera never goes down to their side while they're moving. It never moves in a way that seemed as if it's being held in a hand, only like it's attached to the person's head. If you're actually scared, you'll be looking around for threats; not just watching the phone screen to make sure you record whatever.

      I have two very odd issues that aren't really uncommon, but they are rarely talked about, so most people are unaware of them. One is musical ear syndrome, and the other is hypnagogic hallucinations. The first is when the brain interprets things like fan sounds and other white noise into music such as popular songs, opera music, or any other type of songs, and the other is when someone is about to fall asleep, is under stress, or is in a quiet environment, and they hear someone (such as a relative) say their name or a sentence of some sort. It can make someone who isn't aware of those conditions believe that they are experiencing paranormal activity. I also suffer from something not as common, so I don't know if they're related or not - misophonia. That's where I am oversensitive to certain noises, such as people smacking their lips, snapping their gum, chewing loudly, etc. ASMR drives me insane. These noises cause legitimate distress to people with my disorder. I wonder if your exploding head disorder is related to the hypnagogic hallucinations family?

    My Aunts "husband" use to own a house that the oldest record they could find was from 1902, that was not when it was built. This house was amazing, 3 stories and a basement, side porch with balcony above. It even had a servant staircase and bathroom, and a carriage house. I loved going over there, even though "it was haunted". I never once saw anything even remotely paranormal in that house. The scariest thing in the house was a humongous fan at the bottom of the basement stairs, that as a kid, I was always afraid would suck me in and kill me. It was pretty much just an attic fan but in the basement. Unfortunately the owner was hoarder and extreme cheapskate, so the house ended up getting seized by the state because of the condition and back taxes owed on the property. He could have put like 50K into the house and sold it for 500K-750K. It was a historical house that was across the street from Loose Park where a major part of the Battle of Westport took place, and he pretty much wiped his ass on it and threw it away, because he wouldn't fix property the right way or clean and pay the taxes on it. It was sad to lose one of my favorite places to go as a kid, now I can't even visit, I can only look from the sidewalk.

    Assuming it's not a pure fake, I have ONE possible explanation for why the guy who had the Jeffrey doll doesn't throw it out:
    Remember, it previously belonged to his late grandmother. Perhaps the idea is that, however creepy it is, it's still a memento to someone long passed, and keeping it is like keeping a part of them.
    Admittedly it's not a GOOD explanation, but it is one.

      my thought was, he knew it was haunted and wanted to get recordings of it and thats why he kept it. Still firmly believe its fake and if that was the actual case he wouldn't be so freaked out about whats going on with it. Also with this kind of shit most of the backstories are just completely made up, he probably just found it somewhere and thought "hey, this looks creepy as shit.

    Ya know, a handful of horror games use the 'can only see ghosts via camera/photos' mechanics, but it'd be interesting to have a live feed/video where you interact with a friendly ghost through it. Basically what I'm saying is the story of the woman with the ball of light could have some neat story ideas. Too bad the clip itself wasn't much to talk about. >_>

    • @bloodyneptune
      @bloodyneptune Před 9 měsíci +3

      _That_ would be cool. Prerecord something with "a ghost" then act like its live and you're interacting with it. Someone with some talent could even try to match up something like, say, a ball rolling in the main footage and into the frame of the prerecord footage (with the things they're watching the 'live footage' on blocking the ball, so it doesn't have to be exact except for where it rolls in) Might take a while to line that up right, but it'd be cool.

    John, I agree with you so much. I LOVE paranormal videos, mostly because 99% of them are so outrageously fake, and I enjoy the entertainment!
    1. When we are actually truly scared, we DONT start huffing and puffing audibly, or saying shite like, omg I'm so scared! Instinct makes us pause. Makes us pretty much hold our breath while we strain to LISTEN!
    2. It's amazing how steady these folks can hold that camera like it's their actual eyeballs, until it comes time for the cuts!! It drives me up the wall when they slowly creep up to a door and after the ridiculous narration and explanation as to why they are there, you see their hand slowly reach for the doorknob, then pause and pull back a tiny bit, then reach again and yank. 3. The 'ghost' is usually the Sadako or Kayako figures if a pale girl with long black hair in her face. Come-effing-on.
    4. They either just completely avoid turning the lights on, or try just ONE switch to PROVE the lights are out. Really? REALLY?
    5. Upon seeing said 'ghost' or whatever they immediately run and scream all while holding that camera pret-near steady AF. Like, immediately. Cuz they knew EXACTLY where to focus the tiny light they have.
    6. Bish if this were actual fear, and you hear a noise first thought would be actual INTRUDER. WHY aren't they just calling the cops or getting a weapon? Or anything from a huge list I could type here but would take an ever longer ridiculous amount of time to type?
    7. The only videos I question or happen to side with come from. Channels or whatever whose main focus is NOT the paranormal. When you are a ghost hunting channel or claim to live somewhere super haunted you've made that your thing! Every single video is super crazy cuz otherwise no one would gaf! I mean, I get it, it's entertainment, but it's ond of the most ANNOYING forms!
    Anyways J, thanks for the content and commentary! I do enjoy watching you!
