  My town has an extreme grudge against the tv show Ghost Hunters. <br>We’re a small town that has been struggling to bring up our tourism so when we heard that Ghost Hunters wanted to come here we were very hopeful it would help. The town rolled out the red carpet for them, helped gather stories, gave them tours, and they were allowed to stay above our apothecary for FREE for two weeks despite the fact that the owner’s only source of income. <br>When the episode came out they painted not a picture of a charming small town with a tumultuous history but a town in the middle of nowhere so crime ridden that no one wants to go there. <br>The two weeks after the episode aired two years ago was TENSE

  Shane from Buzzfeed will always be my favorite accidental ghost hunter.

  One of my favorite paranormal shows was one where they had electricians, building inspectors and plumbers come into so-called haunted houses and investigate the cause of certain thinks, ie cold spots, slamming windows and doors, etc. And they&apos;d just tell the home owner how to fix them lol

  I once found a gravestone with my own name on it from the 1800&apos;s (I don&apos;t have a super rare name lol) in a graveyard that the internet said was a &quot;portal to hell&quot; (the town was a shithole, so I don&apos;t doubt it). &nbsp;<br><br>Being a bored teenager, I decided to go out there with a tape recorder and ask questions like &quot;are we related&quot; and &quot;is this really a portal to hell?&quot;. <br><br>And I caught a VERY clear EVP saying, &quot;Shut the FUCK up.&quot; &nbsp; <br><br>Wish I still had the tape, but this was over a decade ago, and it&apos;s not like anyone would believe me anyway lol. It was almost TOO clear, in spite of the fact that I was the only one out there and heard nothing until I played the tape back.

  Ryan and Shane are lit the only ghost hunting team I&apos;d actually believe if they said they saw a real ghost

  I have had three times where I’ve seen people/animals/masks in places they shouldn’t be and legit thought they were ghosts. Turns out it was just psychosis.

  &quot;P.T. Barnum, the circus villain,&quot; is the best description of him I think

  Closest I’ve ever gotten to the paranormal was when my cat Ruby died. She was an absolute demon of a cat to everyone but my dad (who had her since she was a kitten) and me. She hated my mom, my little brother, and even my grandma who was probably the closest thing to a real life Snow White. <br>The night we had to have her put down, I couldn’t sleep since she usually slept on my bed and the missing weight was throwing me off. After a while my door opened, and something audibly jumped onto my bed and I COULD FEEL TINY FEET CRAWLING OVER ME. I, a scared shitless 6 year old, refused to move or open my eyes as a flour bag of weight plopped unceremoniously next to me. I kept my eyes closed thinking “if I can’t see it it can’t get me” (ya know, 6 year old logic), and eventually fell asleep. <br>I woke up the next morning to no ghost cat, but a bottle cap right where the weight had settled next to me the night before. (The only ‘game’ Ruby ever played was when we’d chuck a plastic bottle cap somewhere and she’d bring it back, no matter how obscurely we hid it.) I took it to my dad who promptly burst into tears and told me I was probably dreaming, which I may have been, but the fact that there were little teeth dents in the bottle cap made me doubt. <br>My mom also woke up with 2 small claw marks that were swollen and itchy (my mom is allergic to cats, but let Ruby stay for my dads sake). I like to think it was her ghost’s final little goodbye to me, and final ‘fuck you’ to my mom :).

  I&apos;m deeply honored how most of the comments are about Ryan and Shane. I think it&apos;ll be nearly impossible for anyone from the ghost-hunting industry to top them.

  I always love the part where ryan said &quot;well, you are now ghost hunter&quot; and shane brain got short circuit due to such revelation.

  When I went to New Orleans, I stayed at the Dauphine Orleans Hotel because I saw it on Unsolved and thought it was gorgeous. &nbsp;The bartender featured in the episode still worked there and spoke very kindly of Ryan and Shane and said they at least didn&apos;t fake any evidence while they were shooting. &nbsp;She didn&apos;t specify the people who did fake evidence, but apparently some do. &nbsp;For me, it&apos;s the history-related stuff I find fascinating. &nbsp;I don&apos;t believe in anything supernatural but there&apos;s usually something really cool to learn anyway. &nbsp;Probably why I really like your videos :)
