no attempt to do a debunk
Jay gave up but Grant was a schlup
tumbling the flir with a clunk

Tongue out

I mean it's dark and hard to see where he placed it. I could forgive him for that except....

For them to claim this as paranormal is like me claiming the bottle of milk that I placed too close to the edge of the table that fell off is paranormal.

Jay is upstairs, and Grant is out of his immediate view. (Why Grant would care at this point I have no idea.) Grant set down the FLIR facing away from him a few steps up, and the FLIR came tumbling down toward him.

He was holding it. Do we have anything more than his word that the switch was moving by itself?

There's a theory out there (and this one has some merit LOL) that crappy audio recorders produce better EVPs so, by extrapolation, maybe crappy EMF detectors produce/detect better signatures, conversations, and general all-around significant activity.

Well, one thing for sure: crappy ghost hunters don't produce better results.

But they DO get _more_ results :) ]]> Wed, 03 Jun 2009 12:29:50 -0700 CrowTRobot on The Grant List http://www.skepticalviewer.com/forums/ghost-hunters/the-grant-list/page-12/post-5461/#p5461 Ghost Hunters http://www.skepticalviewer.com/forums/ghost-hunters/the-grant-list/page-12/post-5461/#p5461

I would say crappy audio recorders and crappy EMF detectors produce MORE hits and so called voices yes that's true. More but not better. More because patterns can be heard in the artifacts IMO.

Doc, that's the Ramsey, or a variant thereof minus the big antenna out the front.

Looks a lot like the Moditronic one. http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/247/123812.jpg

Apparently they are available in kit form also.

Well, they either have a guy or had a guy for the electronics.  Can't remember what his name was.  He did come along with them once went they returned to Eastern State Penitentiary.



Ah yes.  Is he the one who showed up with a ton of new gadgets they were going to keep trying each week, then was never seen again?

The TAPS version of "Q"  was Ron, the guy who worked in the basement. http://www.nightsearch.net/biographies/ronmilione.htm

I think the last on screen invention of his was a KII on steroids, a bulky black box with two curved rows of LEDS and an antenna that stuck out about 18"

It appears to be the Ramsay / Moditronic meter that detects electrostatic charges as well as AC EM fields. Like a combination of the Alpha labs trifield and trifield natural, which would make it a very capable meter. Yet Stevo went back to a Sperry which only detects a very limited AC spectrum from 30-300 Hertz. Maybe the Ramsay was too complex for him to use. EMF for dummies. Tongue out

As a parting shot to G, in the EMF sweeps with the K2 he appears not to know where the inductor sensor is. He uses it if it's near the Leds when the sensor is actually back near the switch. 

Granted (pun), G doesn't appear to be bright enough to do an electronics mod either. But I think we need to keep in mind with any new electronic gadgets they or some other ghost show introduce, there's always the possibility of electronic tampering.
