*waves*  Hey!  I haven't been here for a looooong time!  This was the only GH episode I was the least bit impressed by, and now I've been totally disillusioned by this thread!  LOL.    I did manage to watch last weeks 'new' episode of GH, (after a very long time of not tuning in) and all I can say is, nothing much has changed since I've been gone.   Still can't hear what they hear, or see what they see.  I'll probably go back to watching Adam stuff ten thousand hamburgers down his gullet in thirty minutes.  At least he has witnesses to his unbelievable feats of derring-do.

 Albeit during my initial view, like so many others I too thought they may have finally captured something anomalous. Unfortunately when I watched it again I noticed a couple of oddities and upon further review noticed a few more. Before posting I decided to watch it yet again, I have little well really no doubt the so-called shadow entity was a living, breathing person…likely Jay or Grant, or crew. Here's why I feel same:

1] Albeit PTs [Pilgrim title/times] are not the most reliable – at times they married up with time stamps &/or clocks at a locale – based on PTs J/G were very close to the top when the 'shadow' peeked over. Pilgrim's titles were however misleading at times, for e.g., at one point it stated J/G were on the 2nd level/landing but they were where the wireless audio was placed thus at least 4 levels up…cam guy pans down the middle, see at least 3 flights of stairs [it was dark so may have been 4 even].

2] At times there was definitely some sort of light on at the top. Oddly we had views up [cam guy] and even when close to the top and it was really dark, couldn't even see the top [half moon shape]….but then in other views the half moon appeared as if it was illuminated. Same with DVR view, when first shown in a split screen with the TIC, it was really dark, see part of a couple of landings and a staircase then darkness. But when J/G sit at CC [sent B/D in] we see the monitor and the tower was well illuminated. See at least 6 landings & staircases plus clear up to the top half moon [ceiling at top level I would think] which seemed quite light considering. If their DVR cam was able to illuminate the tower like that, wouldn't the production cams see more too? IOW wouldn't the flooding of IR light from the DVR cam provide additional lighting to the small spot IR the cam guys were using? 

Same with the miniDV Dustin had – unlike J/G who went up with nary more than a single flashlight between them - wouldn't the IR light provide his cam with additional illumination? If so why was the footage so dark that it was nearly black overall in most of the shots?

MiniDV footage of the 'shadow' darting off to the right: you clearly see a light was on up top and coming through the stairs, but only on the right side where the shadow happened to appear - B/D were only 2 levels, 3 at best, down. Clearly if there's light behind a person in an otherwise dark environment, they will look like a shadow form especially through the holes in the steps of a metal staircase. What was that light source, why was it so bright up top? Why wasn't it like that the entire time?

3] At Analysis, Steve shows Brian the 'peeking over at the very top' clip [DVR]: didn't show the very start when the head first peeks over at the landing below the top level, but he did show more of the 'at the top' portion [beginning of] - thanks Steve, this is a key point. Notice he first comes into view on the right side of the landing [our POV], just right of the center mark [dark strip in half moon]. You see a faint spot of light ahead of him – reflecting on the ceiling/wall – his shadow isn't as dark/solid as it becomes when he walks to the left side. When just left of center, there's now a bright larger spot of light beside and appears to go partially behind him [rather he obscured part of it, made his shadow form more prominent], he's facing left so it's a profile. As he steps left and faces the railing to peek over he obscures the light completely; shadow form gets even darker then fades somewhat as he leans/steps back. IMO the fainter and bright spot of light was a flashlight.

At Reveal: J/G show the clip starting with the head peeking over from the landing below – Jay stated it was 'about a couple of landings down from the top and it goes up to the top in a matter of a couple seconds'. Can't see the D/T stamp but based on the video time counter [mins/seconds] it was at least 6secs….cut to Paul after the head pulls back as he asked 'was that just it' and J/G say keep watching, IF G let the clip roll during that then it was at least 10secs. Here's the thing: he didn't come in from the right, as J/G both say 'voom' he pops up at the railing on the left side, no light seen before he pops up but as he moves back you see he was obscuring a bright spot of light. In that brief bit his shadow got darker, more solid then fainter again. Paul asks for a replay, show it from when he's moving back from peeking over up top: walks to the R-side, pauses, J/G claimed he then just disappears but IMO he simply moved back out of view.

Why did J/G make it appear as if he pops out below zips to the top in 2 secs flat and pops out on the L-side….when he didn't go up in a matter of 2secs, walked in from the R-side stops to look over rail once at the L-side, walked back to the right then away from the rail? Why didn't they address the bright spot of light? Steve noted it to Brian, claimed if it was a FL you'd see the beam of light: load of bull we've seen a FL plenty of times with no light beam evident, including when J/G were in the tower. Why no TIC view of it, it was solid enough to totally block out light sooo???

 J/G are almost at the top – trying to sneak up - stop and Jay remarks 'can hear something moving above'….cam pans up where they were looking, there's a bright spot of light on the wall, akin to the one in their evidence clip. Not the production cam spot-IR, it's brighter and smaller plus it's behind the railing on the wall - see it between the rails, not reflecting off or shining on them on this side so it wasn't J's FL [think G still had it & it was off least didn't see it]…or was it J's? Who was up there? Did J/G go up while cam guy stayed to get the shot up; was it someone else; did J or G peek over before going up last flight then look over once up top; did they edit their footage to make it appear how 'they wanted us to see it'? There's more but will leave it at that for now.
