So sad that Travis couldn't make it. I'm sure he would have loved it.
Not Cthulhu We need to raise another 10million for that to happen
This could get really serious if they have a haunting and they believe the entity follows them around.
Ouija Board is dangerous spiritual tool. Evil can only come by invitation in spiritual beliefs, and ouija board invites.
That's why Laura was asking about "can it follow us back home", it surely could attach to her.
Well that was filmed before the Spooktacular... Wouldn't want to get him desensitized, would we? :p
@@SmithyPL At the peril of being r/woooshed, are you actually serious? Cause that's grade A baloney right there.
@@SmithyPL Ghostly harp sounds..."Laura Bailey..."
"She was an excellent medium. I'd even call her a large."
Wow Sam. Wow
i love sam
Patty Negri is awesome,
She duss have it,
Surch on u tube,
The juxtaposition of Laura and her Playboybunny being superserious and scared about ghosts and Liam and his Playboybunny literally circling the drain is fantastic.
That's how I know her. Saved me a Google search.
Still worth a google search.
ROFL
did sam date heff though
Nobody is allowed to like your comment anymore...666
The fact he hands Sam a meat thermometer and acts like it's something special cracks me up endlessly.
Haha right! It looks like he blew his budget on the other stuff and then went through his kitchen drawers😂😂
Ya I have the same meat thermometer sitting on my Microwave.
Yeah there are ghost hunters who have a lot of better viable equipment, and factor in the environment such as the location, the materials surrounding you like what the house is built of...basic science but still with a belief something is out there. I'm 50/50 skeptical and believer but this was a cheap fun trip for them and they had fun. So I'm glad they did have fun, of course. It's like an escape room or haunted house, you're not actually in those situations, you pay for that entertainment and thrill.
"There's a ghost here, he seems to know you. He's... wearing pants, did you know someone who wore pants?"
".....Yes?"
"My work here is done."
Did you have an uncle, or maybe a great-uncle?
Classis cold reading shams. Its so dumb people believe in these obvious sharlatans.
But they downloaded a ghost onto their phone. Surely that's incontrovertible proof.
Why don't you mention the random Sandy call out of nowhere and specially saying male when it's without a doubt way more common to be a female? You should talk to a medium, you'd be pretty surprised one day and believe :)
@@Smilehp7 clairvoyants who have been busted for being fakes have often been found to do research into family history of their clients. the fact the woman asked first if it’s male or female led the clairvoyant to assume it’s not the expected answer. You should research into cold reading, there’s a famous magician called Darren brown (I think) who has done some tv shows on it that you can find on YT, You’d be pretty surprised one day and stop believing :)
If they brought Marisha, she could've just punched the ghosts
With her *Ki-empowered deltoids*
Someone else mentioned her yell when they found the couch, she may have been behind one of the cameras.
Reminds me of the ghost puncher green-text story
Her screaming "oh shit!" Was pure gold.
Bob bob
I love how Laura Bailey always looks at anyone like they’re her favorite person
All the critter's wife :-)
Imagine Taliesin walking into a room and all ghostdetection tools just goes haywire.
Edit: Wow guys. Thanks for all the likes! ❤
"Oh hey guys sorry I'm late"
Taliesin: Oh, haven't seen you in a long time. How was Tutankhamun treating you last time?
nah. they dont detect the great old one
I imagine the opposite. For once, every piece of equipment is silent for the night. He don't need no ghost detectors, they just talk to him.
Hey demons. It's me, ya boi.
It had to he said
“It’s summer” ah so that’s what they meant by “You won’t believe how long ago we shot these”. Correct statement I am unbelieving
And the last episode was Pride Month.
They film everything in California so unless they tell us the season, it's hard to tell either way. They should have just stayed mum and we wouldn't have been the wiser.
Also Sam saying they shot it before GenCon... So it's really been a while
Oh I thought the joke was just that they live in LA. Even in Winter, the temperature rarely drops below like 50 Farenheight, and they don't really get any snow usually. They pretty much live in a constant state Summer.
@@HyenaFox Nah, that was literal summer, marisha said something on the episode where they announced the new season about how they filmed it quite a while ago and that some of the comments and references may show that :D
If there's something strange
In your neighborhood
Who you gonna call?
*Harp music*
Laura Bailey!
Not Travis!
Mannimarco, King of Worms yes
Lucas M. Definitely not travis
If that's an option i wanna call Laura Bailey ghost or not, please come to my house and marry me 😫
I would definitely call Travis, his manly screams would definitely attract all the ghosts AWAY from me.
"I put them in the recycling bin" was the funniest goddamn thing ive ever heard. why the RECYCLING liam??
They get picked up more often than green bin? Maybe? At least in Germany they are... also bones take long to "naturally recycle" aka. start dissolving sooo...
Gotta recycle so they can make more humans ofc
@@idanor make sense 🤣
I love how in America, it's spooky when someone has died in your house. There's lots of places that are hundreds of years old, it'd be weirder if no one had died in your house before you got it
The medium's attempt at cold reading Liam fell flat on it's face.
Never target the skeptic.
I swear if only she went for Lauta
That wasn't cold reading, for a cold reading you say vague things that could apply to anyone, you don't give names or have specifics like that. You might say 'I think there's someone uncle, perhaps great uncle, the name begins with an L, or perhaps an M', and then you hope that resonates enough with someone that they basically tell you almost everything and all you have to do is fill in the obvious gaps.
@@preciousinfinity How is that different than what she did? Vague reference to an uncle with difficulty communicating (like all men one or two generations older than Liam) and wears trousers lol. How much more vague can you get?
And the only person she got right was their host. suspish. I believe in ghosts and mediums i just don't think all mediums are real.
I thought them shit talking the bathroom was the best part. Especially considering the owner lives there and uses the bathroom.
To give him the benefit of the doubt, it's the guest bathroom so he probably doesn't. The tub was likely dirty because everyone stands in in like they just did.
@@andrewmcmillan229 Fair enough. Could be it.
@@andrewmcmillan229 True, but if you are opening your house as part of a business then wouldn't you clean the place regularly? Places that you wouldn't usual because people don't use it, places like the guest bathroom? I mean that is now a public reference on him rather than ghosts.
@@Wookie_oo7 Thats the thing tho, he cleaned that bathroom that very morning, and now you get a signal from the drain, sounds like ghost activity to me
100% he doesn't live there and this whole place is a gimmicky attention trap.
The cuts between Sam/Liam and Laura's group were hilarious
THATS A GHOST THATS A GHOST THATS A GHOST THATS A GHOST THATS A GHOST THATS A GHOST THATS A GHOST THATS A GHOST - guy who really wants you to believe there's a ghost on the Xbox Kinect
This made me cringe so hard I almost stopped watching...
Bro thats a Kinect hooked up to a iPad that's probably running an Xbox crack.
Seriously, the 'detection' on the screen looks like a phone trying to identify a face that isn't there. I could whip up a fake program like that in a week.
@@wardpipe I've watched some of the actual TV shows out of boredom and they all use kinects
@@justinogle150 and they act like they totally didn’t grift it off that one Paranormal Activity movie
Are we all going to ignore the fact they went ghost hunting with a Playboy Bunny
I KNEW she looked familiar...
THANK YOU! was thinking the same thing xD
it makes so much sense right now
Bridget is also a paranormal investigator
i couldnt stop looking tbh
The contrast between the absolute chaos of “we’re contacting the ghost through a toy piano” and Laura and Bridget being called gorgeous by a ghost is… I don’t even know how to describe it.
Amazing how Laura's app adds hardware to her phone like an EMF meter
well, you know with technology these days...
not too mention a radar!
A technology completely useless if the thing you are looking for does not have any hard surfaces.
Cameras are pretty versatile em detectors.
So obviously everything these people said was steeped in bullshit, but a lot of phones do have a built-in magnetometer that functions as a compass and obviously all phones have microwave antennae.
I would be curious what kind of "electromagnetic signals" they think they're reading. Someone should tell them that a prime example of something from the electromagnetic spectrum is VISIBLE BLOODY LIGHT
36:51 I can recognize Marisha's voice anywhere!
omg i didn't even notice. ur heckin right.
Hell of a perception check my man.
I'm all for Laura joining these two, but where's Tal when you need to conjure the Eldritch Gods?
Because then the sensors would explode.
Or Travis. Just use him as a ghost detector by how much he freaks out.
He would’ve scared the ghosts away
@@lucasm.3864 the do conjure an eldritch god by calling tal though ;)
See, Taliesin would have been like "Amateurs! That ain't a ghost!" or "that's totally fake", and THE PROCEED TO CONJURE REAL ghosts and eldritch horrors from beyond the veil!
I always find it funny that they use the kinect for tracking ghosts when it doesn't even work half the time for a regular person.
I can't believe I missed that. Of course.
Same.
that just means you got too many ghosts in the way
I think that is exactly the reason they use it. Because it doesn't work properly and sometimes "thinks" it sees something when it doesn't
@@PlantOutofPot especially because the Kinect is supposed to stay still. if you move it around it will have a hard time differentiating the wall from a moving object simply because it observes that everything is moving relative to its position.
The feeling they got was probably CO2. Seal a house with good energy efficient windows and doors, turn off/down the HVAC, then have somebody stay in the house for a while. The CO2 levels will get a bit high, youll feel a little off, nauseous, a slight headache coming on, but you won’t be in any danger. Combined with them being told that such a feeling was possible, and I’m not surprised at all they felt something like that. I saw no open windows in that house, and they did not leave the door open very long.
And this didn't even include the dry-ice fogger to amp up the CO2.
I mean honestly them hyping each other up is already plenty for the body to work with.
What a genius, complete shithead move. Its absolutely possible here.
This happens if you seal up the vents in a car and recirculate the AC for a while. It depends on how many people are in the car, but it will take 2 hours for just one person in my experience of longer solo road trips. For it to happen in a large house with all the doors to different rooms open... I don't think it would be easy to pull off unless there's equipment churning out CO2 in a highly concentrated area.
I feel like it is more likely placebo, which would explain why Laura felt it first
I feel like I just watched a unnecessarily long introduction to a porn parody.
The way too long free preview that is weirdly entertaining but has none of the good stuff.
2 hours of Liam and Sam in a ghost house? Yeah I can see that happening.
I mean, I feel like it's probably bad taste to say but yeah. Liam, Sam and Laura show up in normal Ghostbuster Costumes only to find a host who apparently got hers at the sex shop? Like "No one told me we were supposed to wear the slutty version".
Lmao why is this so true 😂
Dude the guy who owns the house looks like he was born to make money from scams. Surprised no one lifted the cushion or pressed down on it to see if anything was inside it. Homeboy did not like the idea of you giving the ghost a lap dance (seemingly because you might have sat on the cushion?)
Not to mention that he would be charging to let people through his "haunted" home. Who the hell wears a t-shirt to his business, let alone a tie dyed one? He is so scamming people, and making bank from it too by the look of the memorabilia. Although a big part of my judgement comes from his clothes, if he had of been wearing a normal polo or button down shirt I would have still called it a scam but figured he is providing an entertainment service rather than just straight scamming.
In saying that, I wonder how much he charges, that would flavour my opinion further.
They weren't there to embarrass the guy. Liam and Sam were just having fun.
I mean. They were there to have fun, not to debunk his claims. No need to disprove anything.
As I'm watching this, I just saw the "lap dance" bit and the guy is smiling and his tone when saying "don't you do it" or whatever he said wasn't angry or anything like that. He was just having fun with the experience.
Definitely seems like he's just providing a service rather than scamming anyone.
They place was hooky as hell, but it was fun to watch.
Sam and Liam were really good sports about this. I can't take any ghost hunting stuff seriously, but these guys at least made it entertaining. Good on you.
you call them good sport? they kinda made a mockery of ghost hunting, meaning they were a bunch of jerks while ghost hunting...
The folks over at The Modern Rogue did a really cool episode on all the tricks of "ghost hunting," where they basically shoot an episode of one of the TV shows, then afterwards explain how they manipulated everything to seem spooky.
@@OnryoKami have you seen ghost hunting shows? Not like it's some respected trade they alone are making a mockery of
@@OnryoKami They were much better sports and far less sarcastic than I would have been if I'd been dragged along to something like this by my friends.
I like to think that they went to the most low budget ass ghost hunting place they could find - adjacent to a murder site but not actually a murder site, using a fucking Kinect as a tool, etc - just to make it more entertaining.
Laura: I downloaded this app so we can hear the ghost talking.
Sam and Liam: Look how dirty this bathtub is!
I'd be up to see more of Sam and Liam going to haunted places and giving ghosts lap dances. :p
Or even reviews of bathrooms throughout LA.
Then the app said, "Contempt." And the next two words were "eat" and "ass". That ghost was Naughty-minded indeed. (Liam, Laura and Sam bust a gut at this.)
"This bathtub is filthy!"
[*immediately stands in it with shoes on*]
Gosh I wonder why it was so dirty.
Laura: There's ghosts
Sam and Liam: What's up ghosts, it's me, ya boy
But only if they trick Travis into going with them
I love how they use a kinect, a device infamous for being absolute shite and false readings, and take the readings as gospel. Good lord.
And don't forget putting the readings through a mysterious app who could easily be programmed to add entities at random intervals (Kinda like, yes, those augmented reality ghost-chasing games. Notice how Sam swiping through the screen wiped the entity :p)
@@NWolfsson you don't even need the app to add random entities. The kinect does that all by itself all the time.
@@designator7402 Oh I have no doubt about that, it's no wonder console builders got quickly from motion capture to controler's position detection
Yet it adds insult to injury
I think it's hilarious af. I have no doubt some similiar thoughts were being had but not said lmao
All Work No Play: Shaming the Housekeeping of a Strangers House with Laura Bailey | S2E2
I know this is hocus, but I want these 4 to do a ghost hunting spinoff called All Haunt No Slay where they visit famous hauntings
thank you for this pun, it's beautiful 10/10
Halloween special!!!
As long as they drag Travis along now and then!
I want Laura or Travis to be on The Watcher and interviewed on the one series where they do the interview in a haunted house.
@@WhiffleWaffles omg yes! that'd be so good
I love Liam's attitude for the whole time.. It's like "I don't believe anything you're telling me" but at the same time playing the other's game..
Very Caleb of him
Only liam and Sam could get me to watch this stuff. They some how make watching a grifter with some mildly malfunctioning electronics entertaining.
I know right? I didn't think it was possible for this show to make me believe in ghosts less but here we are.
Today on All Work No Play; Sam and Liam make jokes about a dirty drain for 20 minutes.
I'm really happy this was the top comment for me.
“mildly malfunctioning electronics” hahaha!
@@TheFuzzyPetiole The bit with the kinnect tablet thing was like when my camera thinks it sees a face in sofa cushion.
Nothing was scarier that seen Will Friedle’s face crawl across my screen.
As someone who works in electrical engineering, I'm mildly infuriated with David's explanation of his tools and how he used them. But that's part of the charm I guess.
Oh, me too! Working in IT, I was literally back-talking to the screen as he described each tool. The tone probe and the Kinect in particular annoyed me. I've worked with both.
I don't have any phd about tech, but i don't believe a phone would be able to do so many things with just an app... that part REALLY pissed me of
So how does the probe actually work? I mean it provided a consistent tone that didnt change, I am assuming that it is a constant tone when it isnt reading or it has a test button for the tone that he is pressing.
@@aceazzameen9389 What was the issue with the kinect?
To be fair I dont belive many ghost hunters actually understand how the "tools" work. Most of the tools are either poorly calibrated, or sensitivity has been increased significantly. So the smallest change makes it go off.
And an app on a phone that says words at random.
"The ghost is the person you are thinking of. Do not say who that is". That's some advanced medium strats right there
Yeah. Not sure if this was one of them, but a common tactic mediums use is to feed you fairly vague information in a way that sounds super specific in order to goad you into filling in the blanks. Notice how she never once said that she knew who they were, when they lived, where they lived, or what their importance was to Liam's life. All she said was effectively "It's a male relative from the 40s" which basically everyone has.
Also, those sticks seemed a bit suspicious. "I can't control them" is probably a lie, because towards the end it started to answer her questions before she even finished saying them.
@@HyenaFox Also worth noting whenever they did turn, the hand towards which they did turn was always at the bottom. Pretty much guarantees they're magnetic
VM: The door...
M9: The chair...
Sam & Liam: The bathtub...
EDIT: Petition for Sam & Liam crossover with Buzzfeed Unsolved.
or Watcher nowadays
BH: The rug…
The contrast of Laura being completely serious and Sam and Liam just messing around is amazing
27:37 "Natural twenty!"
Don't you mean "supernatural twenty" Laura? XD
nice
Nice one!
A rarely seen perfect comment. Kudos!
I was kind of worried that they mentioned them feeling nauseous and unwell. Are they sure this house doesn't have any carbon monoxide leaks?
Doesn't even have to be CO. Get some nicely sealed windows and make sure they close the door quickly, and TELL THEM they might start feeling dizzy or whatever, and the natural CO2 buildup in the house from breathing will do the rest.
It was most likely just psychosomatic. That guy lives there and is fine.
@@Nocturne22 Or he just opens a window when he doesn't have appointments.
Also, CO isn’t really that dangerous in low concentrations for a short time period
Most likely it's just placebo from being told that they would feel weird
Bridget: "I wish my grandpa would touch me"
Sam: (ツ)
bob bobson Think she meant Hef ?
Minty I mean... that could still be Hef 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️ I don’t know if his pet name was “grandpa”
Minty you’re not making any sense. As a reality TV expert you should know that most of that stuff is faked, and her “almost tearing up” was her acting. Also, you’ve never heard anyone call Hef “grandpa” maybe you should get out more. Everyone I know called him grandpa!! Facts Yo!!
Minty have you ever considered that you’re not an all knowing being and it’s possible, not probable but possible that I’m correct and you’re incorrect? I know it’s a hard idea to grasp, but maybe, juuuust maybe, you don’t have all the information 🤷♂️🤷♂️

"Why don't ghosts like us? Other people like us" - generation gap?
Ok Boo-er.
@@estoy1001 bless you
20:10 that guy just tapped a Xbox Connect to an IPad mini
the xbox connect is hacked, ghost hunters use them all the time.
@@OnryoKami - It's a camera specifically designed to find human shapes, and when you crank up the sensitivity like was obviously done here, it'll find false positives in just about anything. That "ghost on the ceiling" at the start was clearly a reflection in the window behind them that caused a false positive.
@@TheMrVengeance only people I trust with the camera is ghost adventures crew to be honest. I find a lot of the gear and evidence is highly rigged and suspicious.
@@OnryoKami - All ghost hunting shows are faked. Either by the presenters themselves, or by the production team behind the scenes.
There is no scientific basis for any of the equipment, eg. why do ghosts cause electrical interference?
And there _are_ perfectly normal scientific explanations for a lot of the other occurrences. From priming, to confirmation bias etc.
It's just paranormal entertainment in the same way WWE is sports entertainment.
Excluding the medium, she's just a scam artist and a gross person.
TheMrVengeance you are correct
16:15 "I DON'T THINK BONE IS RECYCLABLE" 😂😂
To be fair, in the way he meant it (maybe organic waste, but not "blue bin" recycling) I don't either x)
"...And we went on our own little ghost adventure!"
*roasts this dudes bathroom for 30 minutes*
This episode should be titled "Point a dumb apparatus at whatever and await confirmation bias". Thankfully, these wonderful people are really good at making a lame subject very entertaining.
Don’t forget the hilariously bad attempt at a cold reading.
The thing about the devices that they use is that they are often times so sensitive to whatever it is they're supposed to be reading (Like electromagnetic field reader), that it will be set off with literally anything and get a "reading." It's so dumb and I can't believe people fall for that sort of thing.
@@lucasm.3864 I mean... You see Liam O'Brien, who looks like the saddest person on earth, you gotta try familial drama x)
But yeah, an uncle *or anybody, could be up to two generations* with whom you had communication troubles, that wore plaid jeans trousers and a white shirt, *in America in the 40's* ? No wonder Liam was hesitant, he would need to have a full family of fashionistas for no one to fall under that depiction
Liam's looks so unimpressed with the seance.
at 51:05 he's also going all 'this is bs'
veldrincrescent I think he actually said “that’s a big ask” but he def looks 100% unconvinced lol

@@olga1231 and he worked for one as well, didn't he?
You spelled skeptic wrong teehee
@@bleepbloop101010101 Seems both Sceptic and Skepic are valid (I'd assume "skeptic" is an American writing, my autocorrect doesn't like it while set on Brittish but underlines "sceptic" if set on US english)
I like how they just was overly excited of the first ghost, saying it's dancing on the ceiling.
He was obviously having a seizure and no one called ghost-911 for an ghost-ambulance!
Oddly enough, there is a hot spot on the couch in the exact spot where Sam's knee was when he knelt in front of the couch lol.
I'm a huge skeptic, having seen Derren Brown use cold reading on multiple groups of people and come out with hugely personal and specific information, even as he explains that he's NOT a psychic and that he's using contextual clues and mentalist tricks etc. Usually I try to give people the benefit of the doubt and try to assume that self proclaimed psychics might be cold reading without even realising that's what they're doing, and legitimately believe in their own abilities, but actually, watching the interaction between Liam and that medium made me really uncomfortable. That's the first time I feel like I've witnessed someone actually try to do a cold reading, and then have to back off when the person they were targeting didn't lean into it enough/respond enough, so she had to move on to something else (tossing out a fairly common name and then confirming the person who recognizes it is who it's intended for, getting from the question of gender it should probably be the subversion of the expectation for the name, etc.) I really don't want to believe any mediums out there are deliberately taking advantage of people's grief, but I watch a lot of this kind of thing and I've never felt that more than with this particular seance.
Some mediums are disgusting with how they try to profit off of grieving people. A medium who stops at just giving people closure are ok in my book, but the scumbag trinket merchants piss me off so much.
Mediums are pure grifters. In this case, I'd like to believe it's part of the show/experience of the "haunted" house. A fool and their money are easily parted.
Honestly, all of this stuff is a grift. The equipment is purposefully inaccurate and in some cases detuned. The x-box camera is a perfect example. It is designed to "find" a human form to apply movement to. So they just turn the sensitivity way up and it turns almost everything into a human shaped stick figure. Look at when a person goes it front of it. All of those dots and lines are because the sensitivity is turned way up. If it weren't Liam would have had a simple stick figure super-imposed over him. Their cameras are purposefully low resolution, their microphones are turned way up so they distort very low noises, etc. etc. They know exactly what they are doing and have found ways to monetize it.
They are 100% doing it for profit. There are probably a few that believe but most know exactly what they are doing, and what it does to their 'victims' mentally, all for personal gain.
I think if there's any legit mediums/psychics they have to be the kind of person to not charge grieving people for a quick buck. I truly do believe if theres people who can really do those kinds of things are probably inconvenienced by it and don't want other people to know at the risk of sounding crazy.
as someone who ran a "haunted house" for a college group, it's very easy to fake these electronic readings. You can literally just float your phone next to one of those machines, and it'll ping as one or two on a meter. Also, mediums are easy to get. They're just people who are very good at "reading" emotions and guessing. They can do cold or hot readings. Cold readings are guesses. Hot readings involve some research. Ouji boards are always manipulated by someone. You can pay to plant someone to do it, or you can do it yourself to manipulate the planchette in one direction or another. Silly fun, but none of it is paranormal :P
Oh definitely. It's too easy to fake things that people believe. That SLS thing they had looks like a reskinned connect with some kind of facial recognition AR program where it puts up fake signals and images. Sam running in front of it and 'ruining the sensor' probably was the program losing recognition of whatever surface it was set to recognize.
Bridget was definitely the plant
I am a medium. I used to be a small, but hey what can you do.
When Liam mentioned Laura’s ghost encounter in her home of feeing like something was hugging her from behind, it immediately reminded me of jesters tattoo of the travelers arms like she is being hugged by him from behind! I wonder if the tattoo is inspired by her ghost experience 🤔
1:52 "it's summer"

Date: February 20th
Me: Uh huh...
They recorded it on the 15th of July according to the timestamp at 33:34

poofballoon! Hah great name, I love that. It fits with Sylveon! I love all of the Eevee's, but Sylveon has those trans colors. She's like a walking pride flag, and I mean that in the nicest, best way possible.
Besides, everyone needs more balloons and ribbons in their lives. It could certainly improve one's disposition and mood. Also cake, or other notoriously, delicious desserts!
Hey it's summer where I'm from.
Two weeks ago it was Pride Month, too.
“I’m assuming this episode will come out after gen con?”... well he’s definitely not wrong

EDIT: I'm wondering if this is normally a haunted house thing for children's birthday parties. Not changing his "performance" when dealing with adults is coming across as very demeaning.
Yeah...he is a little coocoo
especially when it's entirely possible that a fly or another insect just flew past. It'd be a lot more persuasive if the hosts did mention realistic explanations occasionally, although admittedly I'm entirely a skeptic.
I love that there were several points at which they were waving their hands right next to it and it didn't go off. It's just a theramin with a remote control for the volume.
He's probably been putting on this presentation for such a long time that he's begun to believe it himself
5:55
Liam: "I met a mysterious stranger who just kissed me!"
Jealous Sam: "What!?! Was it a man or a woman...?"
Liam: "It was a lady, in THIS dream. ;)"
I liked the nod to Carmen Sandiego (Liam did a voice on the new Netflix one).
Liam O'Brian is my favourite bisexual
It was Sam in a wig.
@@hemmydall I'm assuming Sam's sexy dreams involve duck-people.
TFW you really wanna mention that you're bi lol. I'm also queer and i have that same urge sometimes, and love seeing it in other people
And i quote:
"I wish my grampa would touch me"
53:04
The tilt of Sam's head there was everything :)
@@Accolonian not to mention. Who was at the table. (Not counting ghosts)
Sam, Liam and Laura are some of the dirtiest minds i ever had the pleasure of whatching.
I mean... She is a Playboy Bunny...
@@citri3849 Yeah, I'm pretty sure everyone realise who the dead grandpa is by now ;)
Oh she's definitely been touched by a grandpa in the past :V
Me: "If there are any ghosts here and you have something to say, please speak now."
Ghost of Burt Reynolds: "You'll contact spirits when Burt Reynolds says you can contact spirits."
They talk about feeling nauseous and dizzy, my only question is, has someone done a check for gas leaks lately? Also has someone checked the houses wiring?
Are much more likely explanation than anything a ghost hunter would come up with
Infrasound can trigger most of the things they are feeling. There could be an old furnace or the guy could intentionally playing it on a speaker. You can't hear it.
Pssst, it's all bs
The guy built the house! Prolly had the place rigged
@@spenhaPot or your mind plays tricks on you and you're more aware of how your body is.
They're using a Kinect to take pictures of ghosts? Really? I love this show
i saw that really they didnt get that
Right. The Kinect is a depth-mapping camera with software that's designed to try to find and map out human shaped figures. There can and will be false positives no matter where you set one up. And who knows what random custom software they have it hooked up to. I guarantee it would see 'ghosts' no matter where you took it under the right lighting conditions.
My Kinect told me my arms where merged with my legs so I don't know the validity of it as a ghost sensing device.
The part that made me roll my eyes was when the guy whipped out a tone probe and proceeded to wave it around. Their used to trace signal in copper wire. If you send a signal through an Ethernet cable, and press the probe up to it, you'll get a specific warble or tone. Default is that buzz the unit was producing.
Kinects have been used as cheap yet adaptable off-the-shelf tech in everything from medical to space fields, so I didn't balk at the fact I saw one as much as what they were trying to use it for.
I love it that first Liam is kind of like "whoa" when Sam says that the best marriages are built on lies, but then Sam is like "dude!" when Liam says he recycled the bones he found :D That's the content I came here for, two friends shooting shit :)
Everything that guy said was such total BS, it just makes me irrationally angry.
VSauce Mindfield has a couple episodes that can explain feeling certain things like nausea or other stuff when you're in a 'haunted" house. The power of suggestion is strong and the mind is a very complex and interesting thing.
51:50 I don't wanna dwell in family stuff, but I felt that Liam thought of his mom there. It must have been difficult.
36:39 the hot spot is from Sam's leg being close enough to warm up the couch.
I love how serious Laura and Bridget took it, then you just see Sam and Liam joking around
That house was rigged af. I am even more of a skeptic efter this :D
And the guy built it himself? Sounds like he literally planned out and built a tourist attraction.
I swear to Taliesin, the strings... I mean the *ropes* were so heavy and thick my tech- and physics-savy self was triggered at each room x)
Plus, I swear I could hear Laura's mind going "Okay, darling, I don't judge your professional choices, this city has made worse, but DEAR GOD that cleavage isn't putting this place in a good light, especially with your boss."
@@NWolfsson Laura wouldn't judge someone for their cleavage.
of course, what else did you expect?
@@NWolfsson She's friends with former porn stars - cleavage would never bother her.
Ghost: Who are you!?
Liam/Sam: Honestly we don't know, half the time he's a little green lady and he's a German dude....
Laura when she gets back home to Travis and Ronin: BABEY GUESS WHAT I BROUGHT HOME!!
Good to know that even ghosts think that Laura Bailey is gorgeous
They think Bridget is a ho though.
They might be dead, but they ain't Dead Inside
I want to know what the ghosts think of Travis.
I know where I stand, but I'd just like my thoughts confirmed.
@@cyanmanta I doubt Travis wants to know though
Laura: *actually spooked and looking for ghosts*
Sam & Liam: tHe DrAiN
The love emitting from Liam is palpable. I wish I could meet that man
How dare Liam not bust out laughing at Sams "she's an excellent medium. I'd even call her a large" joke. Had me rolling.
When Liam, Laura, and Sam walked up to the house my first thought was "this looks like the start to a bad porno" 😂
We love the placebo effect
22:55 "that's energy in the air that this is picking up on" 🙄 I shuddered so hard, the amount of bullshit this man is trying to pass off as science.
"IF we went outside it wouldn't make that noise, but we won't go outside" riiiiight
MARISHAS AUDIBLE “OH FUCK” WHEN SAM FOUND THE HOT SPOT ON THE COUCH 😂😂😂
notice how an actual test for a spirit, a code word, is immediately shit down and moved past. that shows quackery in my mind. why not try to press for that? why would her own grandfather say no to that after promising he would? total bunk.
Well you see, the problem is that ghosts aren't real.
It is a little strange because the medium had no control over that, she wasn't touching it whatsoever
I think the borad thing went to no. Why it was passed on so quickly
"If only we had a Wii U" :D
Finding ghosts with motion capture toys from 2010. NOW I'm a believer.
I kind of thought Sam was the shortest of them all. Really surprise me see him towering over Liam.
44:00 This coldreading is so hilarious. You have a grandfather? Did he had problems to talk? Does your uncle wear trousers?! Its just so basic stuff xD
Tank in RPG sense. The one that takes all the damage so everyone else can do their job. Sam, you are totally tanking it.
Liam nonchalantly put suspect bones in a recycling bin. Jeezus hes hardcore lol
I'm surprised no one else is freaking out about that...just a little.
@@uncluckable6535 I'm pretty sure I heard people in the background react at least lol
As someone who has dogs and has bought whole a cow leg (bone and all) for them as Christmas gifts, I'm pretty sure it was probably just a larger animal bone given to a pet as a snack and then buried by said pet😂😂😂
I feel like Sam would like the show Paranormal Home Inspectors. Hauntings are investigated separately by a ghost hunter, a medium, and a normal home inspector. More often than not the home inspector is able to pinpoint a normal problem that explains the “haunting”
GOD that "medium" was such a scam artist. Like, literally every trick in the book.
That aint to say that the paranormal can't be real, but dowsing rods? Really?
I'm guessing they were some kind of magnets right? You lower one slightly and it goes 1 direction, lower the other and it goes the other
TheDeepPix3l It’s super easy to test as well. Say two names and have the medium guess which one is the name of an uncle and which one is made up. Only, both names are fake.
Also, I’m guessing they were controlling the rods with their thumbs?
The less people try to disprove things, the more skeptical I am. Stuff like the tech, especially things like the proximity beacon and the stick-figure camera especially. There could be so many explanations for stuff like that showing up, including the fact that tech is just finicky sometimes. And the more someone freaks themself out over a place, the more likely they are to "sense" something. I'm more willing to believe when you've actually gone through whatever evidence you've collected and done your best to debunk it and you've arrived at something you can't think of an explanation for.
I love how malfunctioning technology is always "proof" of ghosts
None of it was malfunctioning, just purposely being used improperly
Chris Whiting You don't know they were doing it on purpose, I think most people who believe that gadgets can detect ghosts don't realize that they give false positives.
My main point was that none of that technology was malfunctioning. The tone probe, for example, wasn't malfunctioning, that's just the default sound it makes when there is no tone detected. The food thermometer wasn't malfunctioning, they're just not made to measure air temp and will be extremely inaccurate and fluctuate wildly when not in direct contact with what they're measuring. The Xbox Kinect wasn't malfunctioning, that's just how it acts when you've got the sensitivity turned up to max, not to mention whatever programs he was running on the iPad. Etc, etc.
You are correct that I don't know for sure that this guy is purposely misusing all of that stuff, but based on this and previous videos I've seen of him, I'd be willing to bet he's just another con artist who knows exactly what he's doing.
@@khaldrakon When he said "The thing won't make this sound outside" I would have been like "uh huh... Sure buddy. Now without touching any of the buttons place it on the counter so I can pick it up as step outside to corroborate that statement."
I lived in a so-called "haunted" apartment for six months, and the people who lived there before _and_ after me said they saw ghosts but I didn't see anything.
So I'm guessing ghosts can only affect people who believe in them or want them to exist.
Sure.
I mean, that's not how literal existence works, but sure.
Can you tell I think this entire episode was just them getting scammed?
TheOctavariumTheory Whaaaaaaaaat? I thought you were completely convinced that ghosts were real
@@HalenShredder I think this was partially sarcastic, but our brain can and will see what it wants to see. Mass hysteria, the placebo effect, pareidolia. Our brains like to see patterns, and we can convince ourselves just about anything might be true if we want to. A whole lot of people can be objective and sensible about lots of things, but in one specific area will believe strongly in something that flies against reason and objectivity.
In other words, I think it's psychological and nothing more.
@@t3hsilarn I get that completely. Part of religion is explaining the unexplained or impossible.
But when they were doing the seance reading or whatever, I got pure psychic vibes, AKA pure spoon-fed bullshit.
When Liam said "I wanna know if I will see...again" :(
24:00 Let me add one more possibility: a vasovagal reaction. Basically slight anxiety can turn into nausea, heart palpitations, sweating, feeling like you’re not yourself.
As much fun as the episode was, I never believe in these ghost hunter people.
i believe in ghosts to some degree but the first five minutes of this ep i was like "wtf is this scam"
@@LetTheBodyFall Quality internet content, if nothing else.
Yeah I'm the same way, I don't believe in ghosts or anything paranormal really. But generally I don't tell that to people who are believers, because they have every right to believe what they want to believe.
But stuff like this, and those detectors, and worst of all SEANCES are just hoaxes to make gullible people lose money. I hate them.
A softspoken candle lit Laura Bailey (harp music) captivates me for about 32 replays 46:53
Ghost hunting is hilarius. Super simple trickery, acting, and the group hyping themselfs up.
Yeah. All of those apps are fake too. Even people who believe in ghosts should be able to fairly easily tell that those apps are fake. The reason? iPhones don't have thermal cameras in them. Thermal cameras are like, a real, specialized type of camera that you can't really get in a phone, save for maybe that like Red Camera Phone thing. Any "thermal camera" app is likely just highlighting in red anything that it can identify to already be a living source, it can't tell you the actual temp. Anything that looks like a human (which is fairly easy to identify, especially given software that is designed to highlight your face for selfies and stuff) can just be colored in red. This is why random things can show up, because there are likely anomalies and bugs with the detection software. The same thing is true for that kinect they rigged up.
That microphone app seems to be listening to conversations and spitting out contextual words (which Google, Amazon, Apple, and Microsoft already have very competent assistants that do that).
A lot of those "signal readers" they handed them are also likely bs. The one that picked up adjacent electricity can easily pick up static electricity, (created by literally almost everything), or the house had bad wiring or something.
@@HyenaFox You're using logic, logic doesn't work on people who believe in ghosts. Otherwise they, you know, wouldn't believe in ghosts.
The headaches, nausea, being sleepy or forgetful could also be carbon monoxide poisoning. Get carbon monoxide detectors in your house if you ever feel those symptoms. Older houses tend to have older appliances that could be producing carbon monoxide. But it could happen with newer appliances.
It seems like the séance really affected Liam :( I feel bad for him
