The old timers will know, but "sheetie" was the black appairation that appeared at the Pennitentiary  and the basement of the bar… basically looked like a person in a black sheet.

I've removed the IR filters from a few digital cameras and gotten impressive results using blank exposed color negative as a flash and lens  filter.

BUT … I have not found a cloth that shows black under IR.

Interesting … as "sheetie" shows up black  and each time was supposed to be om IR cameras

comments ?

Hmmm…why does the sheet have to be cloth?  What about a thin black shower curtain made of plastic?  It would "flutter" is a similar manner to cloth.  As for how that would show up on IR?  No clue.

Anyone have a vidcap?

Yeah that's the one, season 1 episode 5. I had it archived on DVD-R. Unfortunately the disc has gone to god, thanks be to a bad burn or a bad DVD-R. I hate optical recording media.

If I remember the episode correctly, wasn't it Brian who made such a big deal about being afraid to run down along the pathway and also say the rail was so low he was afraid one would fall off the edge?  I always thought that was a ridiculous claim given the fact that the rail appeared to me to be at least about 3-4' high.  Too much complaining by the leading person in the "running" so to speak.  To me, I have absolutely no doubt it was hoaxed any way you look at it and I firmly believe it was Brian.  Perhaps he thought he would do it as a joke and didn't think the footage would be used but I don't think there was a lot in that episode.  Otherwise, why go to the trouble of adding the problem they had with Brian Bell, etc.  Too much filler and bickering storyline which to me made it seem like they had to enhance the episode by bumping it up a bit.  It was also interesting that they show it was Brian, not Steve, who "found" the footage during the review.  I know it's a stretch, because I don't know if anyone connected with the show is that forward thinking, but was this another subliminal way of linking Brian, who Jason appeared to bully and constantly pick on every time there was a screw up? 

Wallydraigle,

That was my point.  Someone had to know how the equipment was set up to go back and forth in such a limited fashion.  I thought Brian protested too much and from what I saw, it wasn't Steve.   I'm not sure about it being understandable or weird though.  They are used to investigating in the dark and, as we both agree, it was a rather short distance.
