It looks like a different table cloth to me but oh well. Its weird I was watching an episode today (no TV so much watch them on Hulu a few days or longer after they come out) and I was wondering the same thing. It was an episode they were in a restaurant and they were asking someone to turn a flash light on and off. What made me wonder as Im watching it, they said it lasted for a half hour. Whenever they would ask it they never had a camera on the flashlight until AFTER it did whatever they asked. Every tie. It was on them not the light. Well gee in a half hour of it listening to you wouldnt, if its real, you put the camera on it? The video was very interesting to say the least. Sometimes I do wonder about them. But I guess its all open to speculation. Its good entertainment and thats what its ment to be. Just would be nice if that entertainment was real. They claim it is and in the end only they know.

I believed in GH until the infamous "collargate" incident.

Although I dont believe they've always faked…I think the first

couple seasons were legit…I do think being a TV show with the

purpose of "entertaining" they felt the need to deliver.

And we ended up with ridiculous things like the thrown hanger and the collar pulling.

I know TAPS has made mistakes in the pasts, but I always assumed they just didn't figure out their mistake, but this seems like it was intentional. Which in a way bugs me even more since so many episodes are boring and they find nothing, (why can't they fake them all if they fake some? lol)

I have a theory (I said theory ok). If they fake every show people will say How can this be real? You cant find something everywhere. Im not saying everything they find is fake. At least Id hope not. Just sometimes I get the feeling they are "spicing up" their episodes. And for some reason more and more lately Im getting this growing distrust about them. Cant explain it.

Collargate? Do tell. I must have missed it (as is possible with Hulu but I watched before I didnt have cable anymore).

In the end certain things that seem to happen in this show, more and more recently, dont sit right. But it could just be sloppy investigating not faking.

In the end I agree. My experiences are real, boy are they 0.0 and no matter who out there fakes wont make me think I imagine things. There are somethings that I cant imagine. And if Im crazy then so are others. Just makes me think, how sad people are turned off to the paranormal when there are fakes.

I like what Taps is doing either way. Maybe one day we will be able to tell (at least to the best of our abilities being outsiders) what they are in fact doing. I must admit the "I wonder if we are doing the right thing" quote with the long pause when questioned what he ment made me sit back and think. Especially the pause and how the answer didnt seem to fit. Hmmm….

they seem like the only trustable group out there, but now I have to question them too.

.

Change only to least (other than maybe Most Haunted) and then I think you are on to something. They have somewhat backed off on the shenanigans this last season seems like.

I have to disagree with you there. I definitely don't believe all those examples are staged. Creative editing … sure! Misinterpretation of evidence … of course! All staged? Not in my opinion.

First I would like to say that MK made my statement bold to clarify which part she was addressing. I don't want anyone to think I was yelling or trying to be a wise guy. Someone blamed me for that once…LOL

Anyway, I totally understand where you and many others are coming from. I would have to go with misrepresentation rather than misinterpretation however. I guess too, it depends on what an individual considers evidence. So far of all the years on TV, I have not seen one piece of anything of evidentiary value on the TAPS show. I grant you there have been a time or two that they may have picked up on a clue but like all the episodes that is where it ends.

I would have to say that if their findings are open to interpretation then my interpretation is that what they present as evidence is less than genuine. That is about as nice as I can be. I apologize if I ruffle any TAPS fans feathers but until they do an actual investigation and come up with actual evidence. I just can’t bring myself to think any other way no matter how open minded I would like to be.

I have my own video and have videos others have sent me that depict interesting phenomena but wouldn’t try to get people to believe anything other than what it is and that is , that they are just interesting videos that have incidents I can’t explain but they are far from evidence.

Evidence being of course; that which tends to prove or disprove something. The grounds for belief. Proof or something that makes things plain or clear. I don’t see that anywhere on the TV shows.
