For reasons that I don't understand, when my camera flashes hot pixels, it often does them in pairs, like here on GHI. Maybe it's the way they are connected in the CCD array. 

My idea is not really testable sitting here in the chair. I'd have to get hold of GHI's cameras and run them with the lens cap on, like I do with mine.

Okay found a couple of videos. They are time lapse videos so the hot pixel only flashes on the screen for 1/25th of a second at frame 446 or at 18 seconds. In real time they were on the screen for 2 seconds.

Here's  a still frame of the flashers. There are other hot pixels in this video, but these are the ones that briefly flash on.

I have another all night video where I get about 6 of these hot pixel flashes, all in a different position and different pixels. If you want to torture yourselves with it I'll upload it. There's actually 35 satellites to be seen in it.

I think they prove a point though, and that is CCD/CMOS pixels go hot briefly for whatever non-paranormal reason. This "we don't know what it is so it's paranormal" rubbish annoys me almost as much as the K-II lol.

Susan had a racing heart, sweaty palms, dizziness, trempling, fear of dying, and fear of losing control (being dragged into a "trance"). Those are common symptoms of a panic attack. Such attacks come out of nowhere, and many people suffer from them. Panic attacks can be treated very well. There's nothing paranormal going on there, she should seek help.

As Nosfer pointed out…allegedly…but sure, one of the possibilities.  Others might include jet lag, a publicly unknown medical condition, and too much wienerschnitzel and Paulaner beer.

An over-active imagination should be mentioned as well.  See every single "personal experience" that Joe Chin reports as an example.

Then, of course…is the ugly one…it is intenationally fake.  A word or so about that one…

Is "It's Fake!" the battle-cry of many objective people?  Maybe.  Maybe too often though without proof.  Yet, the dynamics of this particular event are quite interesting.  Why?  Because of several motivating factors…

The show just let go of half their staff and the numbers are in a free-fall.  Spicing things up is good for everyone involved.  Then there is the competitive factor.  Paul fell on the ground for mysterious reasons…never counting out "personal loss of energy (whatever that means)."  Susan doesn't like when someone takes her spotlight.  We've seen this from GHA.  Could her "condition" have been a "hey…look at me again" type of thing?  Maybe.

Then there's the personal aspect.  Susan, no matter what your opinion of her is, is smart.  We also saw this on GHA.  Remember her direct competition with the other psychic/sensitive/medium person?  She got whacked and Susan instantly changed her tune and her game-plan.  It brought her victory.  Now…she's on GHI.  Say what you will about the current "ghost craze" but profit can be had by those who can create a name for themselves.  By producing "paranormal/psychic" connections on television for the masses of believers to "ooo and ahh" over, she creates a market for herself down the road.  I'm talking about conventions and books here.  It makes finicial sense.  You're on borrowed time with GHI.  It will be cancelled relatively soon.  Make your mark now, cash in later.  This is the smart play.  This would be a logical game plan.  And, like I said…Susan is smart.

Hmmm…still buying the panic attack?  I'm starting to have my doubts…

Thanks to you and Nosfer on all the links and information.  I'm glad I brought this up.  It's funny that you brought up "we don't know what it is so it's paranormal."  I didn't know what it was so I asked.    That's probably why a good team would consist of people of different disciplines along with different technological backgrounds as well.  And when I say "disciplines"…I'm referring to science.  And when I say "technological backgrounds"…that would go beyond being able to turn a FLIR device on and point it at junk.

Is it just me or when Barry does that sort of thing…he loses every ounce of credibility and he should put on his "Ghost Tours International" hat on.  There's a certain showmanship type thing going on.  There also seems to be a slight shift towards straight belief…ala "Most Haunted."  And you guys thought the loss of Robb wouldn't change anything….

So did Barry make things…easier…for Susan to "go wonky?"  Yes.  Yet, I'm still not convinced that it was legitmate or unintentional.  Then again…this is all subjective and speculation.  That's why this type of "evidence" must be thrown out.
