Poltergeist Video

I want your opinions. I personally think it is fake because the person video taping seems to know what is going to happen next..example: he pans over to the bowl even before it starts "floating".

What do you think?

I'm kind of in the middle on this one. While it could have easily been faked, I just have a feeling that this might be something.

my feelings exactly, i would usually be a skeptic to internet videos, even though i believe in ghosts. but this, may be real.

hmm he doenst shift to the painting until it starts to move, but it does seem a little strange that he focuses on the bowl just before it starts to lift up. looks pretty cool though!

It's a load, and the guy's breathing sounds like really bad pr0n, but I guess it's fun to watch stuff break for a few seconds.

HAHAH a bad pr0n LOL

Ok, I've cut the important part out and slowed it down. Look at about 23 seconds when the lights are currently flashed off. Look to the left of the object that is about to fly up, just before it flies off the table, you can you see some kind of green energy throw it, can anyone else see this because I bloody well can!

I hope you could this is just to just lossy video

I think so. I see a shadow that blinks in and out just to the right of the bowl, but the res is so low and the camera is struggling so much to adjust to the lighting that it's impossible to say anything about it.

I'd chalk the shadow up to YASP.

Doesn't really look like a hoax, but it must be...or?

I watched it myself, and i was a little skeptical the first time. Because, like you said, he pans over to the bowl. But i watched it a couple more times. I don't think it's a hoax. I know that if stuff like that was happening in my kitchen, I'd be jumpy and looking all over the place all paranoid like. Which I think explains why he pans to the bowl. Or the bowl could have been shaking when the camera wasnt on it, so he could have panned over when he saw it. I sent the link to my friend, and he also thinks its real. The panic in his voice sounds genuine. I think its real, but if it's not, then I think its really well done.


Gavsto:

I also see what you're talking about. To me, it kind of looks like a hand.

Interesting...

I think the heavy breathing/panic act was maybe a little over the top.. but who knows, only he truly knows if it was a well constructed hoax or if something really amazing happened in his kitchen that day.

Maybe the potergeist is playing up for the camera...

Hard to tell if it is really a hoax. It would be somewhat hard to pull it off, so there is a chance that the video is real. Do you have links to any other Poltergeist videos?

There's always a chance it's real, never say never. But for me it's a fake. Sorry but the way he pans to each event as it happens is just to convenient. With that kind of thing going on there would be more than heavy sighs and keeping your cool to pan to each phenomenon as it occurs would take amazing timing.

I don't think Ebaumsworld is the best place for authenticity on Poltergeists.

I'm not sure about this one. His reaction seems genuine. The bowl seems to start moving first--or he notices it moving--then pans over to it. Hmmm ...

creeepy,if its real than it would suck majorly to be that guy

if you accept ghoss are real, you need to leave an open mind for telekenisis. maybe he saw it happen in his head, or maybe its just one of those things where you move somewere instincively, like by fate. e.g. the twin towers footage made by the documentist making a film about firemen, paned up just as the first plane hit.

Let's say our working hypothesis is that it's a simple home-made fake made by an average joe with a camera, some fishing line, and some time on his hands.

One thing that would prove the hypothesis false is if anything in the video could not be caused by something very simple, like tugging a fishing line or flipping a switch. That would at least prove it wasn't a casual lunchtime hoax. But everything in the video looks just like someone tugging a line or flipping a switch. This doesn't prove the hypothesis that it's a casual fake, but it sure fails to disprove it, and the evidence fits.

Either this is a very unimaginative poltergeist whose activities look just like equally unimaginative fakery, or else it is what it looks like.

Well, can't really say if it's real or not. Looks convincing, and in a way you're right, he MIGHT have put the camera on the bowl before it flew up. BUT, it also looked as if it started to lift off the table a tiny bit before he focused on it.

To those who said his reaction seemed fake, well you can't expect everyone to react like you, everyone is different so you never know how someone will react.

The only thing that makes me doubt about the authenticity of this video is that the guy seems to know what's going to happen next and were to direct the camara.

this looks to me pretty obviously staged. its like 1, 2, 3 bang, video. knows exactly what to film next and its all happening in one area.

is it the same guy who had the shaky door video?

He pans over the bowl as he hears it rattling. If you watch and listen; as he is on the photo, you can hear the spoon in the bowl rattling. He obviously was drawn to the sound.

I have watched the video clip over a dozen times, and I believe it is genuine. There is way too much activity happening all at once for it to be hoaxed. Also, he recorded it, despite, the obvious fear that could be heard in his breathing.

I agree. It's his reaction that makes me lean toward authenticity.

however i thought of something... i wouldnt trust this video untill ive seen it all, i assume theres more otherwise it is definately fake.- one would record the journey to the activities, to make sure it is in fact recording, thats what i would expect. one doesnt know if by the time they get there that it willstill be doing whatever its doing, so i believe its safe rto assume that you would start recording oon your way to the kitchen, so as people can at least hear some sounds. some evidence at the least, if you run off.

lets put it this way, he only tapes for around under a minute, then runs away, im guessing he doesnt walk around with a camera strapped to him so upon hearing or seeing the paranormal activiy he must have got his camera and then filmed.

well we all agree he was pretty distressed, and if it is in fact genuine, i find it hard to beleive that he would see this activity, run upstairs for his camera back in the room, and then run after a few seconds. bravery and curiousity aside, if that was real i can safely say i would film through a window or something.

if i do however see the footage before it, maybe i can trust it a little more, a normal reaction to activities pshycologicallyis to look into the camera and talk to it, to calm their nerves. they believe people will view this and so have a connection, be it ahead of time, with another party, and so a distrssing situation becomes a little more relaxing as its shared with others. this one has no such evidence.

i think it just might be real, i mean his heavy breathing even though its a little exaggerated and a little too loud might be because he might really be sensing a evil presence and be really scared, theres times were i came close to hyperventilating when i sensed something evil, and that second picture were its slowed down does seem to have some type of weird energy around the bowl, also he might have looked at the bowl before with the camera because he sensed some type of presence by it. im not sure but im gunna go with it being most probably real.

that could be true, but think about it, he might have had a camera in the room with him or near by because maybe something like this started happening in his house and he wanted to prove it or capture real footage, i mean i could be wrong, but think about it, lets say in your house there starts to be poltergeist activity, ok so then at first people seem skeptical, but when things happen over and over or in a series of events, you start to wonder, maybe something starnge was going on in this house for a while and this guy wanted to prove it, im just taking a shot in the dark, but honestly that could be true, i mean he might have been just sitting down in the kitchen or living room and started hearing sounds and grabbed a camera after seeing all this, but its still questionable, but i have a feeling this might be real.

It looks fake, and not a particularily impressive fake at that, the painting flapping would take about 20 seconds to set up and the floating bowl isn't articularly difficult either.


All in all nothing a couple of teenagers with to much time on their hands and a decent computer couldn't do.

It's certainly a lot more impressive than the usual style of ghost videos which tend to involve someone wandering around a building or cemetary, then catching sight of a ghost for a couple of seconds before running terrified.

That being said, this is very likely to be a hoax unfortunately.

Kudos to whoever created it though, it's very original.

a fair point indeed Wayne, however if you knew your kitchen was haunted and at risk of gettig a fork in the eye... would you go back in there?

Well, if what's happening to him is something real, I'm sure we'll hear/see more from him soon.

Or will we? Oooo-weeeee-oooo.

Classy. He said a naughty word.
