The lady doth protest too much, methinks.

A fitting line I believe, courtesy of the great William Shakesphere.  We continue to get comments about the “Ghost Hunters” fraud accusation video done by MovieDan.  Most of the comments we get are far from supportive of our favorite ghost hunting duo.

One overall theme to the comments is the great lengths that Jason and Grant, along with their team, go to in an attempt to portray that they are “debunking” the evidence they find where ever possible.  This is what seems to set most people off.  If they are claiming that they have debunked the claims, then how could they have missed these obvious flaws?

Here at Spooktalkular, we continue not to pass judgement one way or another.  We thankfully just share this information and leave it to you, our faithful listener/reader to make up your own minds.  With that said, if you are not familiar with Occam’s Razor, and you enjoy the paranormal, then take a few minutes and read up on it.  The principle behind it states that the explanation of any phenomenon should make as few assumptions as possible.  In other words, all other things being equal, the simplest solution is the best.

I’m not saying that we should view everything as a fake but if we find ourselves making multiple excuses to explain how something can’t be a fake, well, maybe it is just that, a fake.  That’s not just for television but, as paranormal investigators, or at the very least, hobbyists we should take that to heart as well.

As for Spooktalkular, we’ll be doing a show tomorrow evening and try to get it uploaded before Tuesday morning.
