It's strange how every photo or video ever posted on the forums here are proclaimed as fakes, when the fact is nobody knows if they're fake or not. How are we ever going to study this phenomena and learn about it if everything everyone sees is proclaimed a fake, without a shred of evidence or a second thought?
I've seen purported paranormal evidence of every conceivable kind here and not one was thought to be genuine. There's a huge problem with that type of "over the hill" analytical thinking. You'll never be able to tell the fake from the genuine no matter how many genuinely faked or absolutely authentic pics and videos appear in these forums in the future.
To me these pics and videos fall into two categories.
1. Those that are obvious fakes.
2. Those that could be real.
I always keep an open mind when dealing with supposed phenomena from the second category, the first category is dismissed altogether.
I just can't bring myself to be so presumptuous about something I have no firsthand knowledge of, by instantly calling it a fake.
Yes, it is possible that the video is faked, but it is just as possible (given the evidence and knowledge of the situation), that it's real.
For those of you who are certain that it's 100% fake, let us in on your secret so we may all know without hesitation when paranormal phenomena that has been captured using various image and sound recording equipment is fake or real .
People come here for answers to phenomena they perceive as real, it's a dis-service to them, and a cop out to simply stamp the "fake" label on every one of them, and defeats half the purpose of having a board and forums dealing with paranormal phenomena.
