Here is an article I found on the Stanley Hotel from the csicop.org website. I thought it was interesting.

This is a great find. I can't believe no one responded. If the information in the article is true it brings without question the blatant deciet, attempt at concealment of the truth. Nice work kevin.

Stanley Hotel

 Why didn't Hawes mention this?

As Hawes was lying in bed, a glass on the bedside table cracked, which he blamed on paranormal activity. After the show had aired, Bryan raised the topic with Hawes in personal correspondence. The ghost hunter admitted that there was a simple explanation for the incident. The glass in his room was dirty, so he ordered a clean one from the kitchen. When the replacement glass arrived, it was still hot from the dishwasher. He poured chilled water with floating cubes of ice into the piping hot glass, and in an unwitting (?) physics experiment, the glass fractured. The unseen forces were thermodynamic, not paranormal.

Read the  article. They cover the complete investigation.

Thanks, Paul. I was hoping for a better response. Thanks for exhuming it from the forum graveyard.

I'm skeptical of Jason's simple explanation for the breaking glass. If Jason was lying in bed when the glass cracked, then the water must have been poured into the glass at least a few minutes before. If cold water can crack a hot glass, then it would happen while pouring or seconds later. I think the water was in the glass long enough for the glass to cool down, thus lessening the chance of cracking. But I don't think a ghost did it either!

I read through the "Night at the Stanley" thread before posting the csicop article. I tried to post the article in the thread, but I guess it's locked, so posted it in the forum. I just think it's interesting that Jason withheld information concerning the breaking glass in order to make its breaking seem paranormal. It makes me wonder how many other times he and TAPS have done this.
