World's Scariest Ghosts: Caught on Tape

comment on this video | report broken

Time for something different :) A documentary about ghosts that are supposedly captured on camera. Whenever an unlikely event occurs, people immediately tend to look for supernatural explanations.

I'm not overwhelmed by this video, because obviously a lot of these cases are based on a lack of critical thinking skills. However, some of them might require some professional investigation.

""I saw an alien space craft"? would that make you feel better?"

Yes! And that is enough of an identification for it to no longer be unidentified. You saw an object that you were successfully able identify as an "alien space craft".

When you see a foreign car, make of which you are not familiar with, you don't know which country it came from nor who made it. You don't call that car a Unidentified Driving Object. It's a car!

In the future, just call things what they are, it makes life much simpler!

? If I go into detail describing what I saw, what difference would it make? I saw an object moving slowly in the sky, then hover. silently. then it went away. You are trying to manipulate the point of the discussion. I saw something in the sky, I know what it looked like and what it did. And you coming along saying, oh, it must have been a bird, or a jet plane, or a cessna 180, or a weather balloon, in order to try to confuse me is not going to work. This is exactly the kind of crap I am talking about. Because YOU didn't see it, well of course, it cant be real! Would you rather I said "I saw an alien space craft"? would that make you feel better? Of course I can identify what I saw, I have a clear picture in my mind of what it looked like. I know what it does, but I don't know its origin, that is why it is a UFO.

"As for the UFO, I know what i saw, im not going to waste time trying to explain it because it doesnt matter."

Explain how it is that you *know* what you saw. If you *know* than you must be able to identify it. If you can identify it, it is no longer an Unidentified Flying Object. Saying "I saw a UFO" is the same as saying "I saw something and I have no idea what it is". Hopefully that's clear enough. You DO NOT KNOW what you saw. Period.

As for the UFO, I know what i saw, im not going to waste time trying to explain it because it doesnt matter. You can't convince me I didn't see a craft the size of a football field 500 yards from my house, in the air, totally silent, then dissappear in a matter of the blink of an eye. Especially since my neighbor drove over to my place to ask me if I saw what he saw. As for the ghost, how can someone "show" you a ghost? You think its something someone can just conjur up at will? I don't think so. If a ghost exests, I am quite sure it would reveal itself only when it wants and to whom it wants. I am skeptical about many things, but always keep an open mind. The dumbest thing skeptics do is try to confuse people and convince then to beleive they saw something else. It's like this, "today i ate an apple" "no you didn't, you ate an orange". Don't Fn tell me what I ate, you weren't even there and I know what I ate!

well your welcome to believe what you like. But, you may want to consider the basic factors that can cause people to 'see' things that are not neseccarily there.

1st, of course is that we are raised with ghost stories, so we are pre-programed to interpret certain things as supernatural.

2nd, humans seem to anthropomorphize objects - see objects in clouds and rock formations, faces on mars, Jesus in a slice of toast. This combined with a dose of anxiety from a given situation (being in a "haunted" house) can cause the mind to play tricks on itself.

3rd, we know that the mind can halucinate -sometimes severely in the case of the mentally ill. But the same mechanism can cause halucinations in a sane, but agitated, mind.

4th, There's absolutly no evidence that cant be explained by natural phenomenon. You may not buy the explanations but, if two explanations are given, the rational mind will accept the rational reason over the miraculous - or, at least, say we don't know rather than accept unprovable supposition that violates natural laws. (scientific laws established by repeatable experiments)

There is a guy named "The amazing Randi(?)" that carries on the debunking work of Houdini. (I'm sure there must be a website)- you might find some good info there. In fact, I suspect there are several debunking websites that offer perfectly plausible explanations for most any ghost story one cares to mention.

Most telling (for me) is that, in my 40+ years, I have heard 100's of people tell me they saw a ghost at some point in their lives. But not one person has ever been able, and in most cases not even willing, to show me their 'ghost'

you may be right. I too am very skeptical and lean more towards death being the end. However, a close friend of mine, who is as honest and straight up as can be claims to have been "visited by a pure evil something" in an old hotel in a fly in northern Manitoba community, that is famous for ghost experiences. He did not go there seeking the experience, he went there for work, and from that one night on, he refused to ever stay there again. The ghost is supposedly the original owner who built the hotel in pioneer times. Explain that, i cannot. Its just like UFO's i guess. There are three types of people, those who do not believe, those who believe, and those who know they exist. I used to beleive they existed, then I saw one, I cannot prove it, I have absolutely nothing to gain by telling you I saw it, and there is nothing you or anyone else can sya to convince me what I "didnt see". Now I know they exist, and thats that. Cheers :)

The reason every culture claims to have ghosts is because humans are scared little creatures that can not come to terms with the finality of death..This is also why all cultures have religious beliefs in an unprovable afterlife..I havent even watched this film..but i will tell you why old houses have more 'ghosts' than new houses. They are old houses. they tend to have many more squeeks and creeks than new structures.

Houdini definativly proved that ghosts do not exist when he died and did not reappear to his loving wife (as he promised -if possible) Not to mention that he successfully exposed as fraud every supernatural 'occurance' he investigated while alive

The reasoning for ghosts in old houses and not new ones is they died in thier house, in the past! Pretty hard for a ghost to be stuck in a house that wasn't built until after they died. When you hear about people seeing ghosts walk through walls, lore is that there was once a door in that location, and the house has been renovated, but the spirit still sees the house in the old floorplan. I don't know if gohsts exist, but why does every culture claim to have them? Some North American Native people refuse to live in a dwelling where someone commits suicide.

I enjoy a good spooky nonsense video like anyone, but this is just so bad.

This was a great comedy! I laughed pretty hard at most parts of this. The last part is my favorite, especially the "PhD"(s) misconstrueing agitated dust caused from air pressure changes in an old cellar with what 'must' be a ghostly spirit, lol. Classic.

Despite the trashy narration and over-the-top drama clips, in parts it was very convincing. I think most of it is true; so many things exist just beyond our vision.

I admit the picture of the 'skull ghost' gave me pause to wonder but I don't believe in the little boy who sees ghosts. The medium was totally leading him on! Children are very sensitive to suggestive questioning. Watch "Total Darkness"; it explains how easy it is to brainwash someone.

Jason, I am aware that they are already posted, but that's exactly what I mean. They are conveniently posted here in one place so you don't have to go look for them. If there was a fee for using this site, then yes I may understand complaining about what is posted, but because there is no charge I don't feel any of us are in a position where we can say the Documentary Logger shouldn't be posting things.
It's not a big deal or anything, I was just stating my opinion.

Ok... now that I've watched this, I have to say, the scariest thing was the narrators accent. Right in the beginning. ;-) Gave me chills.
No, seriously: This is entertainment. Sure I don't believe in crap like ghosts, but it's entertaining to see these videos and photos, guessing what might be the cause. Many people don't know that the human mind is set up to look for shapes. Shapes of people, faces etc. So it's no wonder we see people where there's just a blurry shape, or faces in clouds or things like that...
On a last remark: Wasn't it hilarious when those people where walking around in that mist shouting: Oh my god I can feel it! Like feathers. I was ROFLing all the time. ;-D Some people really have vivid imaginations...

Documentary log isn't providing anything for "FREE" other than a convenient hub that links to these documentaries that are already on the internet, posted for FREE..

Q.V.

I don't think there is anything wrong with posting documentaries on ghosts, or even UFO's, or Big Foot, or the giant spiders with wings that live in my basement.
Documentary Log is providing you with all of these FOR FREE, so if a few slip in that you don't find interesting, it's not the end of the world.
A lot of ghost tales are ridiculous though, but that's beside the point.

@Kevin: Don't worry, I won't do that :). My intention was to encourage critical thought on this subject. Sure, I will also try to post documentaries like the one you mentioned, but it's still fun to debunk the claims on this video on your own.

Please don't post documentaries on ghosts. What next? UFO's then big foot, then every other creature in made up by the human mind. Maybe post a doc. about why humans will believe in supernatural things.
