Hi all — new poster here.

I have to say I am thrilled with your list.  I've long been suspicious of Grant in particular and while I think the entire TAPS crew is in on the hoaxing, it seems when there's "evidence" than could be easily faked by a bit of slight of hand, Grant is right there in the middle of it.

I think the figure at the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum has to go in as well, and I'm leaning towards that being a Tier 1 Remember, the one that either ran out or was sucked out (depending upon which version you listen to…the earlier one or the one where they were enhancing it for the client) This was also the one where Grant had a hand-held and, once again, absolutely none of the footage was used (that we saw).

Ok I guess it's time to put my 2 cents in.

The Grant business has also made me wonder whats going on. But I want to point out that when we set our minds to thinking that he is faking all this, then that is all we see. So as a true ghost hunter step back and look at the big picture and ask yourself, Is there a possibility that there is paranormal things really going on around Grant?

Let me tell you why that I can't sit here and say either way, that he's faking this or not.

Once in a while my cousin goes out with us on a hunt. Almost every time that he is there, we get awesome EVP's, the air around us feels different, things just seem to happen. I had been questioned by people asking me could he be faking all of this. And "no", I don't believe he is for the simple fact that he's to serious about the paranormal, it's not a game to him. So I have sat around and questioned myself of why things happen around my cousin so much, and now that I see it happening around Grant alot, maybe, just maybe, he attracts these ghosts and spirits etc. Also my daughter seems to attract things more often than not.

I have read quite a few books by some experienced ghost hunters and some of their views on what attracts ghost etc. is pretty interesting stuff. So I would like to point out that some of us are artistic and some of us are not, some of us have the ability to see the future and so on.

One other thing, when you are on a hunt, the pockets are full. I'm right handed so my piece of equipment that I favor second goes where? In my right pocket.

Haephiteus-

Thanks for your post. None of us here can say for certain that Grant is faking it. We have our opinions.

All we can do is respect your view, but ask you to keep an open mind (and eye) for each episode.

Thanks guys, and yes Creature you have to keep an open mind (eye). But I'll tell ya something, I was not aware that Grant insisted that it was grabbed and not pulled down. If  it was a fake, then I feel he didn't do his homework.

Sorry guys, it takes a day off work to catch up with everyone and or everything. So if I sound like I missed a few things, I probably did.

I understand that the incident with the computer bag in the Crescent Hotel doesn't qualify for top tier on the Grant List, but I think it's still highly suspect.  On their tour of the hotel, the historian told them about the stories of things being piled against the door, at which point Grant got all interested and asked if he could have that particular room.  Dustin discovered the bag while doing equipment set-up, so I would presume there wasn't that much time between Grant leaving the room and that most coincidental event.

Yeah, it's definitely suspicious when Grant requests a hotel room due to paranormal activity and then that activity occurs (sheets being pulled to expose feet, anyone?)

And now we have another fishy "EVP" to add from the most recent episode it seems.

The trust and credibility continue to fade away like ghosts themselves.

Maybe we should make a "non-Grant but still suspicious evidence" list.

Yeah, it'd be the fair thing to do: make a list of the good (stuff we still can't figure out and that seems genuinely paranormal) to go with the bad.

Go for it Nosfer.

I have been a Ghost Hunters fan from day one and have found questionable, from the beginning, some of the evidence of paranormal events. I always gave Jason and Grant the benefit of the doubt and suspected that they were the recipients of practical jokes by others. After all, they ARE likable fellows and they did seem genuinely sincere. We want to believe them. But recent happenings have really put J & G in the wrong spotlight. Every paranormal event happens to J & G and every one of those events CAN be explained if you first make the assumption that they are faked. They no longer set out to debunk. Every place they visit is haunted. Now we can hear disembodied voices with the naked ear and everything happens in multiples, not as stand alone events. Don’t even get me started on the K2 meters. Watching the footage of the jacket pull from the live Halloween event is very painful to watch. Grant’s stilted movements and forced conversation; Jason’s apparent disinterest in the goings on. These two have a lot to explain if they care about their credibility. Or is it too late?
