Back to Ireland for the team. Or, might one suppose, they filmed this after the DT live show? In one half of the episode, the team investigates a hospital said to be haunted by the lingering presence of a dead doctor.

In the second part, they visit an island prison in search of…you guessed it, a Banshee. Well, when in Ireland… This island is probably Spike Island in County Cork. The prison saw use during the War of Independence (the Irish War of Independence, that is) and numerous IRA prisoners were held there. The site was closed in 2004 but reopened as a tourist attraction after plans to build a new (functioning prison) fell through. Where the Banshee comes into this island's history, very vague. Simply a white female form that is supposedly one of the haunters of the island along with a soldier with two black holes for eyes.

The hospital? Located in Roe Valley in County Londonderry in Northern Ireland, expect more "Did you hear thats?" More light shows and startling faces appearing out of nowhere.

Hmmm, I believe Lovecraft's work had Cthulhu trapped in the Arctic, not Wales.  I guess the non-linquist COULD confuse it with Welsh, though Laugh

Are they going to be doing the musical interludes throughout the entire season now? 

I am shocked that they actually found something to be not really haunted, even with the chasing of the shadow person for Barry and Paul.  The photograph of the red lady and their recreation of it was pathetic. The feet were not missing ergo we can't explain the photo since our feet were there in our photo. They have been watching too much FOF!  I would love to hear skeptical peeps take on the darting of lights or streaks of light at the second site in cellblock A.   Camera malfunction?

Well, you do recall the point of light appearing before and it being proposed that it was a hot pixel on the sensor.  This could easily have been the same.  Will have to look at the line again, though.

So much of this episode seemed to be "getting touched"  Even such that it made it's way into the title.  I'm also getting a little suspicious of all these things they claim that they are sure they captured only to find that, no, they didn't capture it.

The amount of info that they are reading into the captured sounds (I won't even call them EVPs) is becoming quite disturbing.

  • Joe: I see something black.
  • Scott: Did you see that, then, in the door?
  • Joe: Yeah, I wasn't sure… [unitelligible]
  • Scott: Dude, Oh my God, tell me if this is the same thing.
  • Joe: Okay
  • Scott: This silhouette of a person walked into the light and just came back.

BS!  Look at the scene when Joe says "I see something black."  Scott is in the background looking in the OPPOSITE direction that Joe is (not at all toward the door).  And if he HAD seen something, why hadn't HE announced it?

The streaks look a bit like a couple of cobwebs but not sure about this one.

It does sound like Barry and COULD be something like "lady slippers", however I don't think that is the EVP they are referring to.  There is something under that much fainter that you can hear.  The "lady slippers" MAY HAVE been Barry talking about something and what they claim is the EVP is heard under and in between his words.  It doesn't sound like "come in" to me and it's more like Kris' breathing or her whisper farther from the mic.

Barry could have been speaking about the White Lady.  Recall, too, that they had that very powerful parabolic mic, too, so they could have been picking up sounds from who knows where at the time.  Not very controlled.

This past Wednesday's episode had similar looking streaks that they debunked as their flashlights.  I'm wondering if their flashlights didn't have a hand in these light streaks as well.  I rewatched this episode after seeing those recreated streaks of light and sure enough, they do look similar. GHI or ghostly created?
